On the 18th of Sun's Smile, 23 S.A., a drafted letter by the Ferrymen was sent to Captain Erik var Ruthern, detailing that an Imperial citizen, a Lady of d'Arkent, was caught and kidnapped on the road, and that she would die if the Imperial force did not save here. Within the day, a large platoon of Imperial soldiers, alongside the Metinan company, ventured towards the mountains near Southbridge as they met the Ferrymen bandits and Norlandic soldiers. As the skirmish ensued, a handful of soldiers safely escorted her to Providence. Within the day of fighting, the Imperial and Metinan forces picked off the Ferrymen and Norlandic forces upon the road off of Southbridge, killing 1000 of their men and routing them back as they fled.
