Day nine of fourteen.
The Verakh who returned from the mountain road's surveillance at the seventh hour carried the intelligence that changed the fourteen-day period's calculus.
"Supply column on the mountain road," the Verakh reported to Sakh'arran at the camp's intelligence position. "Dwarven wagons. Thirty-seven wagons in the lead section. More behind, extending beyond the surveillance position's line of sight. Estimated total column length: two miles. Estimated wagon count: ninety to one hundred and ten. The wagons' cargo includes covered shapes consistent with thundermaker barrels. Infantry escort alongside the wagons: barbarian warriors, estimated strength twelve to fifteen thousand."
Sakh'arran brought the report to Khao'khen.
"The dwarven resupply is early," Sakh'arran said. "The Verakhs estimate the column will reach the barbarian camp in five days. The column contains approximately one hundred thundermakers and fifteen thousand barbarian reinforcements."
