[Battle For The Four Islands] Chapter One- Artic Misadventures

[buzzard]

After having steeled himself for sleeping in a tent on a desolate shore Marcus is so relieved that he has found a proper Inn that it brings a tear to his eye. "All the Gods be thanked, what a fine Inn! Oh, I thank you for the offer of a drink (peering a little dubiously into the white fluid), but could I ask for something hot? The trek here has chilled me to the bones." He then finds an unoccupied table as close as possible to the fire, and starts to bask in the heat.

Goli hearing all your wishes, has food brought to Jofre and anyone else who wants it, and has a warm cup of interesting (but good) tea to marcus.

[Double Post]
Move on, talk to each other, and when you are ready to progress, send your PCs to there rooms.

"Goli, are any of your people experts on crystal weapons, or might have some clue as to what this thing is?"

 

[GWolf]

Goli examines the fine blade. "Well, I know that this is a weapon that is given to important members in winter ork clans, and It appears to have some sort of magic about it, if you give it to me, I can go to one of our village wise men and he could identify it."

Jofre

"That'd be fantastic, Goli, I'd be very appreciative." Jofre relinquishes the crystal weapon, "If it's powerful, I'd like to turn it against the winter orks. If it's some kind of spiritual weapon of theirs, maybe we can even strike a powerful blow."

-edit- grammar. Whoa, must be tired.

 

[buzzard]

After sipping happily at his tea, and eating the hot food put before him (though sensibly not asking what is the meat), Marcus listens to the conversation around him.

"A magic crystal weapon? What an odd concept! Don't these orks understand that magic is on the way out? Science is beginning to come into power. Just look at those fine guns you folks use. Those are truly the future- just like my alchemy."

"I disagree completely, Marcus. While a gun is a fine weapon for a peasant, a truly noble man should put his faith in the old ways of magic. I'll trust myself to a crystal blade before a heartless thing of steel and powder any day."

"I rather suspect that the warrior using a flint axe expressed a simmilar sentiment in his day. You may not like progress, but it is inevitable. "

"Yes, but a flint weapon is inferior to a steel weapon on several levels. A 'gun' isn't superior to a well-made bow in any respect, save they're quicker to be made. That makes them the purview of an army, not warriors. Soldiers might prefer guns, but warriors will always prefer bows."
