[QUOTE="CrimsonFlameWielder, post: 5943404, member: 6684473"] [ooc] Welcome to the Invasion of the Einherjar, Wife Of Meepo! Thanks for joining! Now with Ilex and Noctua Ursus, I can be confident that my encounters won't crush you guys (in fact... depending on how you do in the first encounter... I may up the stakes just a smidge... And if the Son of Meepo + WEContact combo also = death incarnate with their two characters... then I may have to up the stakes a lot! (*mumbles something about taking out a lvl 3 elite in a single round between the two of them*)... Anyway! Welcome aboard WoM! Feel free to get cozy and RP with the group, and get ready for the invasion! [/ooc] Lieutenant Proudman's eyes light up when he sees the [s]dryad[/s] hamadryad. Having heard the rumors about the deadly splendor and beauty of the dryad (but having never seen one for himself), the militiaman averts his eyes slightly, but bows low before the wielder of magic. [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]"Thank you for coming. We are indeed in grave danger, and I believe now, that we have enough to halt their advance...with a little help."
