Culling The Cultists

As the end of the season draws near (577Q2), we hear these rumors:


 * Paniren and Modina habe the same military strength.
 * House Pandino had discovered a great cache of artefacts.
 * and his brother have begun to train military units (monks).
 * House Paniren will try to control the region
 * We're all going to die! Thhe Asura will destroy us all.
 * There is a large undead army in the west.
 * The Enlightened Monks have been destroyed, and their temple is no more (false).

Lady Varadiya and Lords Naresh, Hazir and Ramachandra lead an expeditionary force into House Ruhu lands in order to reinstate givernors and root out the suspected Asura infestation. Most of the villages are disorganized or abandoned.

Asura insurrectionsts are hidden in other villages, and these are burned.

We discover a village where all villagers have been slain in their beds. The attackers were a fairly large force (100 or so). They used tiger claws exclusively. Threee survivors found in the swamp.

The force tracked the attackers to a cave system in a nearby mountain. After building a fortified camp and posting guards at all exists, the Ramalinga Lords entered the cave systems. They defeated a dozen Azura cultists. They penetrated further into the caves, and encountered a sorcerress guarded by a four tigers and a horde of cultists. The Asura cultists are defeated, even though Lady Varadiya is nearly killed.
