You go and and retrieve a cloak, and inform the group about the brigands, Hedra says "Yes, our scouts have gathered about as much about our target, but this talk of a werebeast leading them is concerning." Aviial chimes in "I Aviial shall handle that cursed creature for the glory of Avos!" he raises his silvered greatsword posing like he's some hero sent from heaven.
You feel the cloak and it appears to be a blessed (+2) cloak of protection, it feels as though this won't require attunement but that the blessing will wear off after the mission's complete.
Now that everyone has a cloak Hedra addresses the assembled people, "Today you fight for the light, we are assaulting a fort of monstrous brigands that would poison these lands and attack its peoples, today your glory will be sung in the temples for the gods to hear and the blood you spill shall be sacrosanct!" He then brings out a crude map drawn of the fort, it looks pretty defensible, "This is where we are attacking, and were you shall find honor and vengeance on the heretics of the Arc, may she ever fly true!", "May she ever fly true!" you hear from most of the people here.
The assembled people whipped up by Hedra begin to move out of the tavern to travel to the fort, you follow Makdt who wearing her own loaned white cloak follows the mob of temple hunters.
(would you like to do anything while you travel to the fort to begin the assault?)
