Mutiny at the Chaparral

The Mutiny at the Chaparral is a plot line in the Sabre of Meitor campaign. Occurring in the wake of The Blood Feast, the Clans of the Thicket rebel against their leader Bramble the Brutal after he declares his allegiance to the Trident Association.

Plot
After the Blood Feast, Bramble orders the Heroes of Time to the Chaparral to bring the Thickets into his invasion plans. Sending both Crystine the Sly and Jackman of the Justice to accompany them, Bramble hopes that he will be able to invade Melsa in a matter of weeks.

After stopping at a few villages along the way, where Jackman is stealthily murdered by Zenaxus, the group arrive at the entrance, only to be greeted by the Torture Trials. As a Thicket, Zenaxus is able to ignore the trials, but the rest of the group suffer through them, almost dying in the process.

Once at the Chaparral, they are greeted by Grimtooth Axebeard and Tarquin. A meeting takes place in Grimtooth's quarters. Tarquin is able to remind Zenaxus of the magic seal on the assassin's floor. Using this to his advantage, Zenaxus ambushes Crystine as Grimtooth is simultaneously assassinated by Tarquin. Both of them are killed in the fight, and Tarquin agrees to play along and follow Zenaxus under Trident "command". They then head to the pre arranged meeting point, a large defence tower known as the Dreadstation...
