Vulcuran: we were eating and drinking before we discussed talk of treaty to join forces against warlord
DMaster: Ok... so you're eating right now?
Vulcuran: and drinking
DMaster: ok
DMaster: no one is talking right now they are stuffing their face, the halls
of the great king echos from silverware and mugs and servants scuttling around.
Vulcuran: okay
Vulcuran: will take time and enjoy meal
DMaster: ok its roasted boar, a seared mushroom filet with dwarven Mead beer.
Vulcuran: gotta love Dwarven Beer
DMaster: heh heh
DMaster: ok you finish the meal and are very full and satisfied.
Vulcuran: okay I will wait for King to start the talks
DMaster: he finishes up his meal, and leans back patting his stomach...
DMaster: KING: Ahh a fine meal... Love roasted boar. *burrrppp*
Vulcuran: Yes M'lord it was
DMaster: KING: Lets get over to my private Hall... and we can drink em
and smoke em
Vulcuran: okay M'lord
DMaster: His royal court all stand up and walk to the back of the Dining hall and exit through two large
double doors. The hallway is adorned with shields and swords and great tapestries.
DMaster: he gets up and starts walking in front of them.
Vulcuran: I will follow behind him
DMaster: ok everyone arrives in this great hall with awesome tapestries hanging
that are all different colors depicting wars and stuff.
DMaster: Large hanging torch like lights illuminate the room, there is a
large oak table in the middle of the room with multiple chairs. It is where everyone is sitting.
Vulcuran: this is some great tapestry M'lord
DMaster: KING: ahhh yes, Ive lived here so long I barely notice them
anymore. Shame really.
Vulcuran: I am the same way back home M'lord
Vulcuran: hardly notice stuff in the castle anymore.
DMaster: the king points a seat out to ya... KING: Sit sit my friend we
have alot to talk about...
Vulcuran: yes we do M'lord
Vulcuran: I will take a seat
DMaster: KING: So I believe we have a mutual interest at stake here....
DMaster: KING: Why dont you offer me your thoughts first.
Vulcuran: well M'lord I have never really been good as a diplomat
Vulcuran: But I will tell you this the warlord threatens everyones peace
Vulcuran: and safety
DMaster: KING: AYE!
Vulcuran: I dont want that for anyone
DMaster: KING: and what would Camerondale want to do to nuetralize this,
armies moving like the size of Camerondales or my own is like fireworks, its to noticeable and it will surely
trigger some retaliation by the Warlord
Vulcuran: well M'lord that is why I am here we need to discuus some options
Vulcuran: well either way the warlord is gonna retaliate
DMaster: KING: I think we should converge upon him, each army coming from
a different direction.
DMaster: KING: I just pray that Vermeer is as agreeable as we!
Vulcuran: his forces as you know have already tried to eliminate me before I got here
Vulcuran: Me too M'lord
Vulcuran: I want to stop this threat to everyone
Vulcuran: even if it means that I take up my sword again
DMaster: KING: We heard that a spy penetrated your security gave a leak it did
Vulcuran: yes it did M'lord
DMaster: KING: This is getting too serious too quick. I guess its been
peaceful to long eh? (stroking his long brey beard)
Vulcuran: Yes I guess it has M'lord
Vulcuran: oh well M'lord guess it is time we take and use our weapons again
DMaster: KING: Sometimes there is a peace that can only be found on the
other side of war!
Vulcuran: Yes there is M'lord
Vulcuran: well M'lord can I say that we are agreed that we need to join forces for the greater good
DMaster: KING: Aye...
Vulcuran: I am sorry that I am not the greatest diplomat M'lord I like to get to the point
DMaster: KING: You are fine, you have been nothing but gracious and intellegent,
Vulcuran: Thank You M'lord
Vulcuran: I am glad that you are willing to be our ally in this time of need
DMaster: KING: we have laways been allies
Vulcuran: I know we have
DMaster: KING: We will have to set up a system that will notify each
other of when the Armies march
Vulcuran: we will have to work on it
DMaster: KING: Maybe a system of 2-3 horse riders...
Vulcuran: that sounds like a good idea to me M'lord
DMaster: KING: we each pony up (no pun) 3 horse riders so they can go
back and forth and tell of each others plan! YES!
Vulcuran: Yes sounds good to me
Vulcuran: now all we need is Vemeeer to join us
DMaster: KING: Aye, it might be tough, they keep to themselves and dont
like to be bothered. They have issues of their own and I am not sure they will want this on their plate.
Vulcuran: well with the threat of being taken over they might change their mind
DMaster: KING: Maybe, I guess you will have to see.
Vulcuran: I hope they will side with us
Vulcuran: but we will see on that one
DMaster: KING: Aye, they might side with us, but giving up a few thousand
troops is another story, maybe we can even get a few hundred troops, anything would be a help.
Vulcuran: yeah I know that is gonna be the hard part
DMaster: KING: we plan on sending out 4-6 thousand men to fight. I hope
the same from Camerondale.
Vulcuran: we will send out all we have to repel this threat
DMaster: KING: Dont want to leave ya to thin at the home front
Vulcuran: well we wont send everyone
Vulcuran: but will send enough to defeat this threat
DMaster: KING: we really dont know what he has out there... it could be a long battle
Vulcuran: well M'lord we will do what we will have to do right
DMaster: you two talk about a few things, trading, weopons, finances and food.
DMaster: KING: Aye I can barely keep the sandman at bay My friend, I am
retiring... let one of my Servants take you to your room
Vulcuran: okay M'lord
Vulcuran: Thank You again
DMaster: the servant guides you to your room.
Vulcuran: Thank You
DMaster: they shuffle off and shut the door.
Vulcuran: I will look around and then get undresses and get ready for bed
DMaster: its a very large semi circle...
DMaster: a huge lush bed with silk sheets comfy comforters and pillows galor
Vulcuran: okay well enough looking I will get undressed and ready for bed

DMaster: he ponts ahead to Thorax sitting on a throne
Vulcuran: I will head toward the Throne
Vulcuran: you wanted to see me M'lord
DMaster: He looks up from reading a scroll...
Vulcuran: is there a problem M'lord
DMaster: KING: Aye,
Vulcuran: what is it M'lord
DMaster: KING: The Warlords army is on the move
Vulcuran: damn it
Vulcuran: that is not a good thing
Vulcuran: I need to get to Vermeer quickly then
DMaster: KING: They are moving west...
DMaster: KING: we only got preliminary reports...
Vulcuran: well preliminary reports are usually right
DMaster: KING: You must make haste....
Vulcuran: which means we must move quickly
Vulcuran: I will make haste can you send word to Camerondale that I made it here safely and am
on my way to Vermeer
DMaster: KING: I will make it so, I will have guides help you through the
first part of traveling, then unfortunately you're on your own!
Vulcuran: well I am accustomed to that M'lord
Vulcuran: Thank You M'lord I dont want to seem rude but I must get my stuff and be on my way
DMaster: A servant takes you back to your room
Vulcuran: get my gear and head out
DMaster: ok your caravan is there waiting for you...
Vulcuran: I will get in the carriage
Vulcuran: or whatever I am riding in
DMaster: Who was the leader of the caravan? Ryan
DMaster: RYLAN: Sire we are ready to go, the guides are moving out now
Vulcuran: okay
Vulcuran: lets get moving then
Vulcuran: we need to move fast
DMaster: RYLAN (yelling) Move on out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DMaster: the wagons move out... and again the bumpy ride begins
Vulcuran: while in the carriage I will put on my armor and put my scabbard on my belt
DMaster: its moving at a pretty good pace
Vulcuran: okay hang on then
DMaster: you feel it get slower then you realize its going up hill...
Vulcuran: look out window
DMaster: your on the edge of a pine forest, heading up a worn path - The
sky is claer and the temperature is a bit chilly, with little to no clouds in the sky.
Vulcuran: okay keep looking
DMaster: its just trees
DMaster: sorry looking for the map
Vulcuran: okay will sit back down
Vulcuran: and try to relax
DMaster: your traveling a while through the noon hour
Vulcuran: okay I imagine we will stop soon
DMaster: well you keep going... its around 3
Vulcuran: okay
Vulcuran: just sit back and relax
DMaster: you hear rushing water now
Vulcuran: look out window again
DMaster: a large river flows next to you, about 20 feet off and the sun
is glaring off the crystal clear waters.
Vulcuran: okay
Vulcuran: wonder where we are
DMaster: It gets around dinner time and the clouds are a little more
abundant and the wind is starting to pick up.
Vulcuran: okay now are we gonna stop
DMaster: your still rolling
Vulcuran: okay I will look under seat and see if I have food under there
DMaster: yeah you have the standard rations
Vulcuran: I will eat some
DMaster: ok you chow down you were really hungry
Vulcuran: and sit back and try to relax
DMaster: after a few more hours the caravan stops
Vulcuran: yeah I BET
Vulcuran: look out the window
DMaster: RYLAN: comes back to your window
Vulcuran: yes Rylan
DMaster: RYLAN: Sire we lost our guides about two hours ago and we see
lights up ahead in the dusk
DMaster: RYLAN: What should we do?
Vulcuran: that is not a good thing is it
Vulcuran: well I say we head toward the lights carefully
Vulcuran: be prepared for anything
DMaster: RYLAN: yes sire
Vulcuran: make sure the men are prepared
DMaster: RYLAN: (Yelling) move on half pace, keep weopons drawn.
DMaster: The caravan starts moving again at a slower rate
DMaster: it doesnt take long before it stops again
Vulcuran: look out window
DMaster: Rylan is gallopping back to you...
DMaster: RYLAN: SIRE! I dont know whats going on at the lights, we can see
"things" I dont know
Vulcuran: I will wait and see what he says
Vulcuran: well Rylan what do you think we should do
DMaster: RYLAN: Its not normal
Vulcuran: well Rylan what do you think
DMaster: RYLAN: I dont know, we have the BlueSteele Mountains to our right
and a huge river to our left
Vulcuran: well how far away is Vermeer from here
DMaster: RYLAN: Its at least another 2 full days journey
Vulcuran: well we got to keep moving unless you think we shouldnt
DMaster: RYLAN: Maybe you should take a look
Vulcuran: okay let me look
Vulcuran: I will hop out of wagon
DMaster: ok, two heavily armed guards stay at your side; they are 3 stars with
long swords and light crossbows. They also have poisin bolts.
DMaster: ok you get to the front of the caravan
Vulcuran: look out and see what I can see
DMaster: you see lights moving around like people are carrying torches back
and forth across the street.
Vulcuran: this cant be good
Vulcuran: Rylan I think we need to keep going
DMaster: Then to your right two figures appear around a hill next to the
water. they are about 200 yards from you, dress in cloaks and hoods carrying what appears to be sickles
or reapers. They have undistinguishable faces.
Vulcuran: keep hand near sword
DMaster: They slowly approach
Vulcuran: keep my guard up
DMaster: As they approach you notice there eyes are glowing a red. They do
not appear to have any facial features.
Vulcuran: this aint good
DMaster: they are pretty big figures too
Vulcuran: men to arms
DMaster: All the men draw weopons, you hear all the swords unsheath and
the men gather into formation.
Vulcuran: draw my sword too
DMaster: The two figures stop and get into a stance
Vulcuran: as do I
Vulcuran: what is it you want strangers
DMaster: They are silent
Vulcuran: I will hold my stance and wait and see what they do
DMaster: two more appear in front of you about 200 yards, they seem to be
checking up on the other two.
Vulcuran: damn this isnt good
Vulcuran: men be ready
DMaster: RYLAN: What are they sire?
Vulcuran: I am not sure myself
DMaster: The second two that appeared walk your way
Vulcuran: I would need a closer look
Vulcuran: I will keep on my guard
Vulcuran: men be ready for anything
Vulcuran: again I say strangers what do you want
Vulcuran: we wish no quarrel with you
DMaster: They are silent and keep moving
Vulcuran: men get ready
Vulcuran: looks like we are in for a fight
DMaster: They stop about 20 feet in front of you get in the same stance
while the other ones to your right move in
Vulcuran: okay men get ready now
Vulcuran: assume fighting stance
DMaster: in the distance another figure strolls on over this way
Vulcuran: I will stay in stance
Vulcuran: keep watching
DMaster: the figure gets close enough
DMaster: its a female
Vulcuran: look and see if I can tell who it is
DMaster: She doesnt look fimiliar
Vulcuran: men keep in stances
Vulcuran: and wait
DMaster: WOMEN: The Duke of Camerondale... Now what would he want this far from home?
Vulcuran: and how is it that you know me M'lady
DMaster: WOMEN: I knew an acquaintence of yours...
Vulcuran: really who would that be
DMaster: WOMAN: One of my, shall I say, Sisters?
Vulcuran: Tyranna right
DMaster: WOMAN: MY my you are a smart one and my name is Mosphire
DMaster: MOSPHIRE: Now why are you way out in no mans land? With such a
heavily guarded caravan.

Vulcuran: looking at my men
DMaster: ok
Vulcuran: look at their faces and see what they are doing
Vulcuran: Rylan to my side
Vulcuran: hold for one minute M'lady
DMaster: They are watching the situation in a stance.
DMaster: Rylan is by your side
Vulcuran: Rylan we are seriously outmatched here I have dealt with her kind before
Vulcuran: I think we need to tell her about mission
DMaster: RYLAN: Then lets ride her wave, see where it takes us we can make the necassary adjustments later
Vulcuran: okay then it is settled
DMaster: ok
Vulcuran: well M'lady we are all being threatened by a powerful warlord and we are on our way to Vermeer to see if they will become our ally

DMaster: MOSPHIRE: Not me....
Vulcuran: well maybe not you M'lady but he is threatening evryone else
DMaster: MOSPHIRE: And to what concern should that be to me?
Vulcuran: I understand if you dont want to get involved but please let me pass and do what I was sent to do
DMaster: MOSPHIRE: I can't let you pass... that would give you the advantage.
Vulcuran: M'lady we have no advantage over Devon
DMaster: MOSPHIRE: I do not want Devon defeated
Vulcuran: why not
Vulcuran: so you want death and destuction then
DMaster: MOSPHIRE: Im sorry duke you are not the sharpest tool in the box are you?
DMaster: MOSPHIRE: yes... fighting war change death must I repeat myself, I thrive on violence and drink in the
blood of the innocence... is that dramatic enough for you?
Vulcuran: well M'lady there will be fighting war change and death regardless
