Pinpoints of light illuminate the deep woods. Cerulean Guards shoot fire arrows into the village, downing several Forest Tribe warriors and igniting a hut. Even armed and with Losh's help, you're outnumbered as villagers grab their crude weapons, coordinated by the Triune.

As Vecla bounces for cover, you try to take in everything at once. A Triune member breaks from the pack and runs for the lodge that houses the Apostolic Mound's scrolls. He clearly intends to steal them and make his escape.

Another masked man grabs a burning brand and rushes for your supplies. He plans to ignite the medicine! Controllers try to reach him, but they're forced back by the surging warriors.

A rifleshot momentarily illuminates the darkness, and a Forest Tribe warrior goes down. Alexius leaps over the fallen man and runs for the Triune's treasure house.

"Half of it is ours anyway," the merchant shouts back. "I'll grab it, and we'll get out of here."

Spears and stones fly through the night air as the Triune coordinate the attack. Somewhere, you hear Losh shouting. The flames spread.
