Ibiritis Ibirus was more than satisfied overall.
With the handful of defenders she had been able to gather following the warning of her spies, they had managed to thwart the Marauders in their attempt to plunder the site.
Unable to recover their packers, the Marauders clans had left them behind, as well as the cargo that their mektoub-driver had somehow managed to load into the bags.
But the Clans had not withdrawn until they had been able to inflict serious damage on resources: oil and sap escaping from crushed jars and now impregnating the sawdust, crates of wood overturned and their contents shattered to pieces.
