"Dearie me, this sounds rather fun! Tell me, do we know anything of this keep other than where it is? And if any other nasties besides those dreadfully dull Hexorities are lurking about?" Zook inquires.
Sado said:Goven is not usually the first to speak, but his head is filled with questions at all these new revelations. Most pressing on his mind, "Pardon, my lord, but why send such a small group? I uderstand there was a need for secrecy, but now that we know our enemies also seek this place, why not send a larger force? If the need for haste is your concern, I am certain my company of scouts could move with sufficient speed through the wilds."
He quickly takes his seat again, aware of the others' eyes upon him and a bit self-conscious at having spoken out so quickly.
Brenin Dharnan said:“In a way, this group of mercenaries indirectly helped Shillen become the kingdom it is today. They accomplished many great things, clearing the land of giants and even dragons. They are said to have explored the entire world, both above and below. They’re said to have gone to the moons Urm and Yong, and even to other planes of existence. They were said to be powerful, yes, but nothing more than mercenaries. They did nothing with their power but accumulate personal wealth.”
Manzanita said:Manzanita will wait for the Warden to answer Groven before speaking.
"We were fortunate to encounter the Hextorites, I believe, for we have learned much of interest to Shillen. We also removed a potential thorn in your side. They were armed with catapolts, and were clearly no mere bandits, but preparing to take part in an attack on the city itself. I hope you are not disapointed with our progress. We understand that our true mission is to the Linace keep, however, and we will attempt to avoid further sidetracks this time."
Isida Kep'Tukari said:"Dearie me, this sounds rather fun! Tell me, do we know anything of this keep other than where it is? And if any other nasties besides those dreadfully dull Hexorities are lurking about?" Zook inquires.
Someone said:"Dunathar. Just Dunathar. No need to twist it more", mumbles the dwarf under his breath and continues with the cheese.
Someone said:"Ok, that´s only we have to finish our work, I have no problem with it." says Dunathar, and cleans his short beard of bred crumbs. "Exploring an old ruin seems easy enough, and I´m ready to go right now. But what are we supposed to to if we find company there?"
silentspace said:"I will tell you some things that are generally not known. The Kingdom of Shillen is weak. We have been battered by invasions from both Goruka and Pachen. The Duchy of Rogan, closest to Goruka, has been hit especially hard. There are fewer and fewer persons of fighting age left in Rogan. Many of our greatest warriors have fallen defending the Kingdom."
Insight said:"Yes, Warden," Lucan added. "I'd imagine we should not expect a quick trip there and back. Any thoughts on who might be waiting for us at the ruins?"
