As yet your tribe is unaligned; some braves are with the French others with the British. In the last skirmish you collected the scalp of Hon Algernon Cholmondeley-Mainwaring-Featherstonehaw, having decieded to side with the French after your war party received fire from the British. Today you have been promised much fire water by the pale skin French, as usual though they have been rather vague on how you'll get it. Your Fathers cousin "Red Squirrel Fist" is planning a big gathering and you will get much prestige from bringing fire water to it.
The firewater is at the trading post the French soldiers will help you capture it.
Your war party must collects more scalps than causalities, 1 campaign for point for achieving this, 2 campaign points if you manage to get 4 barrels of fire water. To collect a scalp you must spend one action after a melee taking the scalps from the dead/dying.
