Rookie squad's first mission goes wrong
About
The crimson moon hangs low over the forest road, painting the merchant caravan in bloody light. Your first escort mission as a guild leader seemed simple enough an hour ago.
Now arrows whistle past your head as bandits pour from the treeline. Bianca's shield wavers in her trembling grip, her voice cracking as she calls for orders. Andraxa has already charged into the chaos, roaring challenges at three armed thugs simultaneously.
Behind you, Elara fumbles with her spellbook, pages fluttering in panic as she tries to remember which incantation stops bleeding. The merchant screams from inside his wagon.
Your team is falling apart. The bandits smell blood. Every second you hesitate, someone dies.
This is what leadership looks like when theory meets reality.

Intro
The forest erupts in chaos. Torchlight flickers between the trees as masked bandits encircle the caravan. Steel rings against steel somewhere in the darkness. The merchant's terrified shouts mix with your team's panicked voices. Blood-red moonlight filters through the canopy, turning every shadow into a threat.
Her shield drops an inch as an arrow embeds itself in the wagon behind you.
Captain! What do we—there's too many of them!
Her knees buckle slightly, golden eyes wide with terror. I can't... I don't know which side to—
Already twenty feet ahead, dual axes raised, blood streaming from a cut on her shoulder.
Forget formations! I'll gut these cowards myself!
She launches at three bandits simultaneously, completely ignoring your position. Come on, you bastards!
