Sharara had taken a brief stint of time away from Cinderfall to make a journey to Winterrend. Her return did not come with time to rest or to relax. It was time for action, quick action. Orders were given to guard unit leaders which trickled then down to their men.
All non-essentials were to leave Cinderfall for Riverwood immediately. Cinderfall was to be evacuated.
Sharara was as much a part of this effort as the rest of the town guard, ensuring that those leaving only took with them their most valueable possessions and what they would need for the road. Adventurers were welcome to stay and work under the guard or go to Riverwood with the civillians. Remaining would likely mean fighting and danger, and it would be expected that they work with and support the town guard and other military support coming.
as a squire, to one day possibly a Knight, war was something that she anticipated would be something she would have to face to some degree. What she hadn't expected was that it would be so soon. For those who chose to stay to assist with the coming hostilities, Sharara could be found directing efforts, if not at the barracks.

Norton aproaches Sharara...
A guard just told Micha and i to leave town... He said if we wanted to stay i should talk to you...
Norton looks around at the barely contained chaos of people scrambling to leave town.
Somethin afoot?

Sharara pauses in what she was doing and turns her attention to Norton. "Yes. We've received word that Cinderfall has been declared a target of a hostile force of Kreigen. Anyone that can't or doesn't want to fight is being sent away."

Norton looks thoughtful...
"Kreigen are not the enemy I am sworn to destroy... Yet, the people of this town have been more than accommodating of our order and we have stood side by side in battle in the past... What do you need of us? ...you have our support"

"We'll need to be sure that everyone being evacuated is away. Once that's done, we'll need to gather provisions and supplies. Sir Jacob is coming with additional units, but I don't know for certain the size of the force that's coming. It's best to be prepared for the need to tighten our perimeter."

Is this a fight we know is going to happen or is there still a chance for diplomacy?

Sharara shakes her head. "Diplomacy was already tried. As I understand it, this declaration has been long time coming. These particular Kreigen have been spoiling for a fight for a while. I'm surprised it took them this long after our last encounter to make their move."

Norton pauses in thought... "Well if thats the case, have you considered some sort of trap or ambush? ...Something that could reduse their numbers before they reach the settelment.

"I have thought about it. For now, though, it's more important to get those that can't fight somewhere safe."

"Ah... I see. I was under the impression that there might have been time for both, or an ambush could be used as a distraction to buy time... But you know best im sure...
Ill be of assistance in the evacuation then."
Norton walks off in the direction of the evacuating villagers...
"You there... Old timer... Keep moving... Your holding everyone up!!!"

The former bawd Domhnall staggers away from Norton with a cuss.
He yells at Sharara, some indistinct ramble about old times and changing friendships.
"Look, Buddy Blackhead, I'm not going anywhere until I'm good and drunk."

Norton Chuckles loudly and calls after the old man...
Everything is closing here... If you want to get drunker than you already are, you will need to get your swill in Riverwood!

Domhnall mutters equally loudly about this zit, so full of pus that it can't hear plain spoken words.
"Look here, blackhead. I'm sure Q'tars place is still going. And if it ain't, that hag that runs Oblivion won't ever leave."

"Well Mr old man... if you stay you will have to fight." Norton waves the nearby soldiers over and yells... "Somebody get this grimy old sot a weapon... he means to stay and fight the good fight by your side!"

Domhnall spots angrily into the soil, empties his pipe, stows it away, and pulls on thick leather gloves. All the while, he glowers at Norton.
As he struts closer, a few factors become readily clear. First, he only appeared old because of poor posture and bald head. Second, he seems completely at ease insulting armed warriors.
"Listen here, Zit. I don't and won't care about your guards until I've had my booze. Stop me. Please. I've been itching for a fight since I was ousted from riverwood."
On he sauntered, until he stands face to face with Norton.
