Constables of the 14th Ward

[Scotley]

[sblock=Darius]You have all the clues as to why. You just have to put them together. The evidence was at Krado's shop. Or you can just ask, but you can't be sure the answer will be true.[/sblock]

 

[Leif]

Udzar

Sensing that Wally was acting on his own, Darius struggles to puzzle out WHY the orcs singled out Krado for kidnapping. In fact, that is the first question out of his mouth when they reach the "council chamber": [highlight]"Why did you kidnap a mapmaker?"[/highlight]

"I don't feel any need to answer impertinent questions from some "sunshine and daisies" constable. What you need to be more concerned about is IF and HOW you are going to be able to get out of here again with your hides intact, and possibly also taking your precious little mapmaker along, as well. I am prepared to be reasonable, but sharp tongues strain the limits of my reason very quickly."

[sblock=Scotley]SHHH! If we're careful we can keep them dXckXng around down here for MONTHS![/SBLOCK]

"Chief Udzar, we await elightenment by your words of wisdom on who our mutual enemies are, and how we can come to a mutually satisfying agreement." says Raul.

 

[Leif]

Chief Udzar

"Very well, the problem that faces us right now is that a new tribe of orcs is moving in on our territory. This may concern you more because if they replace our tribe, they will probably not be so content to live peaceably with a large city of humans so nearby, and they will probably make war on the city. What we propose is that, in exchange for receiving back the halfling with no hair harmed upon his head, you see about taking out these interloper orcs. That will be just doing your duty as constables, too, so we are not asking very much, are we?

 

[Scotley]

The Witch Doctor speaks next. "As for the puny mapmaker, some of our more impulsive members seized him after we discovered that a group of mass-murderers and thieves used his maps to raid our lands."

 

[Leif]

Chief Udzar

"He was placed into the cage for his own protection, to keep these 'more impulsive' types from doing him mischief."

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion of Tovarre

Alarion turns to his companions. "What say you, friends?" The look in his eye clearly conveys to those who know him that if they are to fight orcs, the ones at hand would do as well as those they have yet to meet.

 

[jkason]

Moru Sen, human conjurer

Moru's brows crease and he shrugs. "I guess I'm confused," he ventures. "If a whole army of orcs can't hold off these invaders, what's a handful of constables going to be able to do?"

 

[Fenris]

"Very well, the problem that faces us right now is that a new tribe of orcs is moving in on our territory. This may concern you more because if they replace our tribe, they will probably not be so content to live peaceably with a large city of humans so nearby, and they will probably make war on the city.

Jonas has listened carefully. He finally replies in Orkish.

"Gladly would we assist you great UdZar. And we thank you for the opportunity to fulfill our own duty as constables, though the threat has not yet reached our dominion. And it is very noble of you to rectify the wrong that some of your eager warriors may have committed, though their intent was to preserve your great tribe. And when the halfling is return we shall strive to see that his maps are no longer used to injure your tribe. But still I mustask, and forgive me for doing so, but how can we Constables aid you further when you have a powerful tribe and able guidance" says Jonas with a nod towards the witch doctor.

"I am sure that if anything this other orcs are merely beneath your notice, yes? Else you would have crushed them yourself. But please tell us more of this other group that we may know as much as the great UdZar."
