Mandrean led his forces now consisting of his Imperial Guard and an entire Division of goblins. They’d entered the mists and were stumbling along the plain. Though he openly criticized Necromancer’s strategy, it did not stop him from pressing his forces to their limit each day in order to gain ground on his prey. In the distance he spied a signal arrow and then another. They continued to come closer as Mandrean’s smile grew. He could tell the direction from which the signal originated and urged his forces to that course. Then he heard the horns blow.

By late in the day, a messenger arrived with word of Linvin’s sighting. Necromancer reveled in the confirmation of his viewpoint. Mandrean would give him no such praise.

Linvin was perhaps a day’s ride ahead. Mandrean wanted pressure maintained and knew how to accomplish the task. Since the goblins’ bodies ran on a two-day clock as opposed to humans’ single day custom, Mandrean ordered half of the division to continue the advance through the night. He, the other half and his Guard would rest and then overtake the main force on the following day. Mandrean was determined not to let Linvin escape again.
