to the cry of drums

Oleander never got the chance at a raid before, and he had been working hard to stock up supplies, befriend his two companions, test his mettle against a few large foes, and work out his armor. 

He didn't want to let anyone down, so when the call split the sky by the Warlord and his wife, Oleander was eager to join the throng. He grabbed his supplies, polar bear skull helm and cape, and whistled for his new small friends to come along. Eterna, his white raven clacked her pale beak at him and followed him in the sky as he made his way to the obelisk, alongside Jace, his snow white raccoon ambling beside him.

Oleander was eager to use snow as some of his cover when he came upon an opponent, maybe even be the ghost of Armada! He sat down in front, next to Spider, who seemed just as eager as him. He nodded to the Heir with an eager smile and nodded his head at their ravens hanging out together.
