DMaster: hold on toad Im looking for something... as usual I cant find it
Vulcuran: okay
DMaster: JER: town guard found another dead merchant 20 yards outside of town.
Ripped right from his horse and wagon. Guards say nothing was stolen, and the way he was killed was real sketchy.
Vulcuran: How was he killed
DMaster: People are talking about a vampire! The guards could not quiet the people that
discovered the merchant fast enough, and it is said that the Merchant is white as a ghost, and has half his neck ripped out.
DMaster: Now people wonder how many died the same way the past 2 weeks that the law
covered up. All travel outside ofCamerondale after 9pm is banned for the time being.
Vulcuran: do we have the body in our possession
DMaster: JER: Yes....
DMaster: JER Oh theres more...
Vulcuran: may I see it
Vulcuran: yes M'lord
DMaster: JER: Let me finish with the news you missed the past month and a half
DMaster: JER: Nanny was leaving her Townhouse when from the alley way between the Bank
and her Townhouse came an arrow that just missed her head, and another that lodged in her right shoulder.
DMaster: JER: Soon her guards rushed the alley only to find a dark figure running along the roof,
a chase ensued but to no avail. All 6 guards gave chase leaving Nanny all alone
DMaster: a cutthroat crept out of the shadows and cut her throat. Luckily the commotion was loud
and a Greater Monk of Animax was near by.
DMaster: He instantly healed her and took her straight to the temple. She is still recovering in her townhouse.
Vulcuran: well she was lucky they didn't finish the job sounds like the work of the Red Phoenix
DMaster: The Volcano on the Island east of Summer City is very active, as is Maxmillion Mount.
Vulcuran: one assassin hit's her with the arrow and then draws the guards away so the other one can finish her off
classic assassin move
DMaster: Rumor has it Maxmillion Mountain is stirring again. Travelers from the north say they
can hear it rumbling all day long. Shan't be long one said, when the mountain talks, we walk.
DMaster: It has been said that this mountain will erupt many times before, but this time the
mountain rumbles louder then ever.
DMaster: We are 17 Days ride of the Mountain, so we will not be directly effected, plus we are surrounded by water.
DMaster: But the repercussions will be enormous, with refugees and the Animax community just SE of the mountain,
about 7 days ride. There is experts travelling north to investigate now.
Vulcuran: well others are in the path though
DMaster: And we will have to travel out to the island Valcano to take a llok too
DMaster: look
Vulcuran: so what do you want me to do M'lord
Vulcuran: I am at your service
DMaster: Take er easy for the rest of the day... tommorrow is Friday.
Vulcuran: would you like me to go take a look at the volcano
Vulcuran: M'lord I hate to say it but I realized while I was gone one thing I was missing in my life
DMaster: No Friday you have Meetings with some Owners of stores about the Economy in Camerondale... you missed
the past 5, I think you should show up for this one at least.
Vulcuran: okay M'lord I will be there
DMaster: JER; You have the rest of the day free... BTW I have an idea for the women
Vulcuran: yes M'lord
DMaster: The City Hall is way behind in Filing and clerical stuff...
Vulcuran: I will go mention it to them
DMaster: and they just opened a Mailing room, and also they have
DMaster: For gods sake Vulcarian shut up and stop and listen
Vulcuran: I just sit there
DMaster: You can see that he is over tired, wore out and stressed beyond belief
Vulcuran: sit there and listen
DMaster: There is also alot of Clothe making to do for the Kingdom, Knights, me you and
the court... they all need clothes that we cant really buy in a store
Vulcuran: keep Listening
DMaster: So there tell them they can all start working there and they can have the
Guest area as there own, like a new home. We are in the mits of rebuilding the storage keep, so it will harbor the Visitors
DMaster: JER; Now get
Vulcuran: Yes M'lord I bow and leave
Vulcuran: I will head to the guest area
DMaster: Ok...
Vulcuran: I will knock on door when I get there
DMaster: you go down the hall, you can smell the sweet smell they have, and you can hear
talking and laughing
DMaster: A gilr opens the door,
DMaster: "yes?"
Vulcuran: M'lady I am here to present you with a few more Ideas from King Jeramiah
DMaster: "ideas? For what? What are you talking about??"
Vulcuran: well what you would like to do I mean
DMaster: you here in the background: "Who is it?"
DMaster: she turns around: "its that duke guy"
Vulcuran: May I come in
DMaster: "oohh what does he want now?"
DMaster: She shrugs: Sure
Vulcuran: Thank You
Vulcuran: I need to speak with all of you
