The note read: "Marshals, you were warned. LEAVE THE AREA!" It was found in the only remaining tent in the Marshals campsite they had left just a few hours ago, They were unsure if this was the work of the so called "CFF" or possibly it was the work of Ivan Reshkov, an ex-commonwealth with hatred for the Marshals. As the Marshals checked to make sure there was nobody still nearby their camp they contemplated what to do next. They couldn't just leave the area, as the demands stated, it was their job to protect the people in the area and they wouldn't abandon these people. The Marshal and Deputy Lewis headed back to a different camp they had set up to get some supplies and bring them back while Deputy Masterson stayed nearby Svet, watching it from a distance. After a long trek for the supplies, the Marshal and Deputy Lewis were making their way back to Svet when they got a call from Masterson on their radio saying "2 Heavily armed men heading in from Turovo, there was a robbery reported there earlier and these guys match the description." The Marshal Replied "Roger that, Deputy were on our way" The Marshal and Deputy Lewis made haste towards Svet hoping to be able to contact these people and see if they were responsible for some of this, Suddenly the Marshal had sudden business to attend to elsewhere, so Deputy A.R. Met up with Lewis and they went from there to Svet and met up with Masterson. When they arrived Bat told them that he had last seen the men heading onto the rocks above Svet so while he stayed back a bit Deputies Lewis and A.R. took 2 different routes up onto the rocks however before A.R. reached the top of the rocks one of the men had a gun pointed at him telling him to put his weapon on his back and his hands up. The man didn't seem to want any supplies but was acting very suspicious in his actions as Deputy Lewis watched him from the nearby treeline, with the mans head in his sights. Before long the man spotted Deputy Lewis and started getting very hostile and so a burst was fired at the man when he lifted his weapon, before he ran off and Deputy Lewis and Masterson gave chase and he lead them into some rocks where he had a friend waiting who immediately ambushed Bat and Lewis, leaving them both incapacitated from gunshot wounds. Deputy A.R. was not far behind but by the time he got there the men were fleeing with most of the gear from the downed Deputies. A.R. immediately called for backup and the remaining Marshals and friends made their way from Berezino up to Svet. After A.R. tended to the downed Deputies they grabbed what weapons they could and headed into town to meet up with the reinforcements. They relentlessly searched for the 2 assailants however it had seemed they had fled the area. After the reinforcements arrived there was around 7 armed Marshals and allies in the area and before long other people began showing up to check out what had been happening in the city. Before long, a wanted man named Mike Hunt had showed up in the square in front of the church, the man was acting very antsy and suspicious and before long the Marshals knew why when automatic weapon fire came in from the southwest causing Deputy Lewis and 1 more to flank around to the Southeast and before long Lewis had spotted a 2 man group in the treeline matching the description of the 2 assailants earlier so he called up to the other marshals and before long the group has surrounded them and the Marshals opened up on the duo and they returned fire, during the fight one Marshal was wounded however both assailants were downed without much more difficulty. After a quick search of their gear they found the items that were stolen off the downed deputies earlier in the day, including Lewis' Sword, continuing the suspicion he had that his sword was somehow bound to him. After such an eventful night the Marshals headed back to camp and prepared for bed, to continue their adventure another day.
