Zhent supply lines cut
Sarbreenar has struck back at the Zhentarim who occupy its Northern
sector. While on a covert mission to the fishing port of Portsoy,
groups of Sarbreenar's citizens took the opportunity to harry
the Zhenatarim garrison. They released imprisoned Sembian sailors
and set fire to several Zhentarim galleons.
Chaos reigned in the small port as the Zhenartim were taken completely
by supprise. The downtrodden population took heart from this blow
against their oppressors. Several days later they rose up against
the occupying force. The Zhentarim defenses all pointed outwards
so they were vulnerable to this hammerblow from within.
The tide of battle swayed backwards and forwards but finally
the day was won by the returning crew from Sarbreenar who attacked
and held a key position in the town. Cheers went up as the surviving
Zhentarim fled the area.
This leaves the Zhentarim without a line of supply back to Zhentil
Keep. They are effectively cut off from support and from their
supplies. The stores they kept on Lone Rock are now in Sarbreenar's
possession.
