ZOMG update
The town the Satanists had landed near had also seen the approaching British detachment, and had begun to assemble a small militia, which had no chance against the several hundred strong British detachments. Captain Quintas saw this, and his chance, he started yelling to his men.
“Get behind cover, the British are coming, and we have to help the townsfolk, if he drives off the British, they might help us find the continental army and a chance to make it home!”
The men grabbed there weapons and begun taking cover behind trees, rocks, whatever was available, and trained their weapons on the road the British would be coming up.
After about 20 minutes, the British detachment was spotted by the man, the British, seemed to believe nothing bad could happen, they were marching in an orderly fashion, weapons at ready, when the Satanists opened fire. The first volley devastated the packed together British troops, who began struggling for their weapons while several sharpshooters aimed for the officers. The Satanists got off a second volley before the British even had a change to return fire. The British volley was mainly dispersed among the trees, though several crew members were killed. After suffering a third volley and the death of most of its officers, the British column retreated down the road, leaving nearly 50 dead and wounded men, compared to only 3 Satanists.
The Mayor of the town came out, and asked for Captain Quintas, when he found him the Mayor said
“I guess I was wrong about you, you defended our town, and how can we repay you”
Captain Quintas just smiled and said
“We just want to return to our homes, if you could perhaps find out where a continental army detachment is, we would link up with them and proceed from there’’
The Mayor nodded and said
“I will see what I can do”
Later a horsemen left the town and returned the next day, informing the Satanists that a section of the continental Army, under Nathanial Green, was only a days march away
The Satanists thanked the town’s people, and set off on the march they knew would not end at the Continental army.
