Been There, Died There, Got the Deathrobe

message arrived on the boards of Britannia, announcing that the ill Clainin had finally awoken and had to be escorted away from New Haven to a safe location. All brave folks of Britannia were invited to meet at the Luna Bank and help protecting Clainin from an evil conspiracy.
Lost of people had arrived indeed! For whatever reason they all wore green robes. It wasn't to Hawkeye Pike's taste to wear a uniform, so he refused to dress up. Soon a magic gate appeared leading them all to New Haven.

Clainin really had awoken, but still felt a bit weak. Hawkeye wondered how he would react to the intrusive crowd with their Dragon pets, asking him questions. A short while later, Robert the Royal Guard appeared, leading Clainin out of the healer's house and away from the town. The crowd followed.

A few steps away from New Haven, suddenly Shadow Fiends appeared and started to attack immediately. Hawkeye knew that they could easily be fought all alone, while they were especially dangerous with a crowd of people around them. Every pet and human being in the vicinity would double the damage they did. Hawkeye knew it was too late, and he was right. A second later, he hit the ground and his vision went gray.

When he returned from the healer, the grass was covered with corpses of warriors and dragons. Nobody had survived this ambush, except those who had been lucky enough to stay away from the crowd.

Meanwhile, Clainin had vanished and was brought to a safe location, as Robert explained. After answering a few questions, Robert left and the crowd disbanded, leaving behind a bizarre and unique battlefield.
