"The captain was waiting." Taman says as Sabastian relays what happened inside. "I need to watch the tower there." He turns to face the tower and casts minor illusion causing a 5 ft x 5ft x 5ft crate to form between him and the tower. He uses it for cover, touching it briefly to make it transparent to his own view of the tower. Then he readies his crossbow for his next action.

Fulcra initiative : 20
"This took less than a second to go to total crap!" says Fulcra in a hushed tone.
He moves around the tent, trying to take some shelter from the towers that Taman was referring to, and casts Minor Illusion. The commanders loud voice shouts out across the camp, "Everyone stay calm! Myself and the other commanders need to discuss orders from command! Stand down everyone!"

Celtra rushes into the darkness of the tent; as an afterthought Taman flicks Light onto her sword so she can see inside.
@Celtra:
Breakbone raises his crossbow to parry your attack but you batter it aside and slice deeply into the man's shoulder. He gasps in pain but reaches with his other hand for his sword on the bed, swinging it up and at you.
Celtra grunts as the blade slips past her guard but lessens the damage by jumping back. She takes a deep breath and then darts forward again cutting diagonally from the upper right. She then side steps and uses the momentum in a turn swing horizontally.
Outside, Salhana shouts, "This is Captain Salhana; I am now Commander of Camp Vengeance! All soldier report to the parade ground on the double and stand at attention!"
Ord Firebeard hefts his axe and moves with Undril to the parade ground where soldiers begin to assemble.
[Bryn you can do something right here if you want, other than facepalming]
A half-elf in greens and browns moves forward with a female native Chultan, as several other natives come forward from the southwest tower, holding spears and shields.
"What's the meaning of this, Salhana?" the bearded half elf asks. "Where's the Commander?"
[Back to Taman - no one is aware that fighting is continuing inside, though sounds of a struggle are beginning to be apparent - Celtra's second attack has not occurred yet, Taman and Fulcra first]
Taman, thinking fast, and seeing the half-elf assemble with the others, casts minor illusion again, removing the one of the crate and making a loud sound of clapping and fireworks to celebrate the change of leadership.
"Everyone celebrate the new leadership of this place." he calls out as the sound fills the air, completely blocking out any sound from inside the tent.
Bryn will slink back into the tent, blending in the shadows to watch the combat. She’d crouch in the shadows in wait, respecting Celtra’s 1 vs 1 battle with the commander. Though, for any reason, if the commander would try a dirty trick or attempt to flee, the Druid would pounce.
Fulcra grins a wicked grin at the sudden chaos. He leaps into the tent with Celtra and says, “Commander, your men have surrendered and everyone knows the truth of the order. Return alive or be slain for treason on the spot.” A silver glowing blade appears in fulcra a hand, silver fire licking its edges, dripping molten silver on the ground. (Minor illusion).

@Fulcra, Celtra, Bryn:
Celtra's attack thoroughly guts Commander Breakbone, who sags with a sigh back into his bed. Blood spatters Fulcra's already red shirt.
Bowstrings pull taut as Salhana's supporters in towers take aim on Rygor and Bilwatal's group of natives.
Rygor starts as he hears the bowstrings pull taut, and as the clerical acolytes of Sister Cyas appear from the Field Hospital Tent, hands glowing with diving energy. He turns to his troops in and around the tower. "The Commander has kept your families safe and these people seek to hurt the Commander!" He shouts. "Will you let them?"
"Seems like that is answer enough." Taman says, ending his minor illusion of the clapping and fireworks. He glances to the half-elf. "I'd suggest you stand down..." He nods to wehre the fighters just threw down their weapons and retreated to the tower.
Fulcra stands, blood sprayed across his chest, his oh so cool silver flaming sword in his hand. "Well, I've never felt quite so useless." The blade vanishes and he walks outside. "Of course that's not true. I mean, I've been plenty useless my whole life. I'm like nipples on men most of the time, just there, sorta gross to look at, and with no purpose in all the world."

Bryn panther will leave the shadows, brush up against Celtras leg and look up at Fulcra with a tilted head before walking out of the tent. She’ll brush up against Taman on her way by and sit down on the ground between him and Undril. She’ll stare down any one who isn’t standing down.
Having struck a finishing blow, Celtra will whip he blade down hard towards the ground to remove the loose blood and then bend down and use any free hanging cloth from the captain to remove the rest before sheathing the blade. She then picks up the captain's blade a mnd similarly whipes it down a d the procedures to remove its sheath from the dead man.
She takes the blade and moves over to the desk and looks for the messages. She figures wit GB the captain's blade and the message they should both be presented to Salhana.
[Sorry I misread, thought Fulcra had left the tent, ignore Salhana's question.]
Celtra is able to find the containers of the opened messages, but the actual messages have been burned to ash.
Salhana explains to Rygor that Commander Breakbone was no longer fit for governance, and that he was resisting orders from the Order of the Gauntlet. She orders Rygor arrested for the moment, until matters can be further investigated. He curses you all for hired mercenaries of Salhana and says he'll remember your faces; it's clear he thinks this was all a political play (wait til he finds out what really happened in the Command tent, amiright?)
Undril, Sister Cyas, and Salhana thank you for your assistance with the entire matter. "He was planning on conscripting you all, had none of this happened," Salhana states. "We need the help but... we're not robbers and kidnappers."
Undril provides a sack of 100 gold from the Commander's treasury that she turns over to Taman. Salhana acknowledges that they have no funds to reward your help, but searches Commander Breakbone's tent to find a small figurine, made of gold, of a man with a crocodile on his shoulders. It's about six inches tall, all gold, with rubies in the eyes of the Crocodile. They had found it at Camp Righteous. It is also given over to Taman. [please update character sheet]
Despite the early hour, the gates are opened to allow Cimeri and Azaka in, who had heard the noise from outside. You all gather your things and depart, having seen enough of Camp Vengeance. Some of you head for the canoe while Cimeri and Azaka head for their camp to gather their belongings.
@Cimeri:
Getting back to your camp, you find Chiirki hopping up and down, and no Kurgaz. Your pack has been dumped on the ground; your fancy dress is gone, along with all the insect repellent and your thieves' tools. On top of the pile of items that are left over is a small doll, made of lint, grass, twigs, and mud. It has two tiny twigs coming out of the head...maybe horns?
