Sergeant,
Your orders couldn’t be any clearer – make sure that the woodcutters's work goes smoothly. If anything comes out of the forest and tries to harm them, you kill it. Boyar Ambrus himself requires the lumber for his construction plans around Maragir – and no, I don’t know what he aims to do, but considering the look he gave me when I asked, I decided that remaining ignorant is the right course of action. Just know that if any worker loses their life on your watch – you will answer directly to the boyar. I hope it's sufficient motivation for you.
In the name of Knyaz Brencis, may His reign last forever,
Captain Volomir
