Securing the Redoubt
Night has tightened its grip across the archive summit, but the plotted campaign map threatened to curl back into disarray. I marched upon the parchment without hesitation. Flanking the map lay a heavy metal compass divider, cold and dormant. I planted my boots firmly upon the mahogany plank, raised my trident to hook the brass joint, and wrenched the legs apart with decisive force. I slammed one sharp steel foot into the paper corner, pinning our tactical route flat against the timber shelf. The campaign chart is anchored. My vanguard holds absolute dominion while you rest.
