Chapter 181: Preemptive Strike Part II    

Just as the trebuchet launched the first of their eldritch jars into the cloudy sky, Leo recalled the moment his dev team had sent the announcement to the players regarding the battle. 

It was right after Sage's attack when McCloud, under Leo's command, released a Whisper into everyone's inbox. 

The whisper carried with it a message from the Game Master himself, and it read like this.

[Sons and daughters of Adventour, now is the hour, a time for action is at hand. Our enemy has played their card and sabotaged our defenses while thinking they'd gained an advantage over us. Little did they know that it is we who have secured our advantage — for while they prepare to lay siege to Adventour, we are ready to go to war!]

In between the Game Master's rousing speech was an animation that showed off a change in the quests that had recently been given.
