In the mean time, here is another bit of in-game news.We Interrupt This Adventure to bring you the following newsRegrowth of the Expansionist SectChant mongers and touts are rattling their bone-boxes around the Cage bringing you this breaking piece of news. Those in the know have heard of the recent happenings in the Prime world of Lammed that the supposed long-dead faction called the Expansionists is making a come back. As we reported in a previous story unknown agents entered one of the Lady's mazes to retrieve the famous sword of the factol of the Expansionists. During those events the former factol managed to slip the blinds and give The Lady of Pain the laugh. Since then there has been a great deal of wild speculation about where the former factol, Vartus Timlin, had gone to.Now we can exclusively reveal that our intrepid reporter the tiefling Ashenbach has located Timlin on the Prime Material World called Lammed. He has risked life and limb to bring you the dark of the Expansionists regrowth.Ashenbach: "Vartus Timlin. Peery basher claim that you were either dead or ready for the Gatehouse considering how long you've been mazed. What's the secret of your survival?"Vartus: "The answer is very simple really. It was an unwavering belief that my followers would one day spring me from the Maze and work together to rebuild our glorious Faction."Ashenbach: "But isn't it true that you managed to escape by accident?"Vartus: "As a Grower it is important to always be ready to expand your horizons. If an opportunity presents itself then you need to make use of it and then share it with others."Ashenbach: "So what you are saying is that you can help others to escape the Lady's Mazes?"Vartus: "No comment."Ashenbach: "Suren. What is the next move that the Growers are likely to take?"Vartus: "Well we will begin by getting our world back in order. My Faction, family and allies have done a good job of keeping everything in order considering the current situation."Ashenbach: "Do you mean the illithid invasion of the Northern continent or the Harmonium taking over the mountain spire city of Tal'Chuan?"Vartus: "Both. We have expanded our sphere of influence to ensure that the remaining free cities work together as a cohesive entity. Next we will deal with the city of Tal'Nattan that seems to be suffering from a fiendish infestation. Once that is done we will move on Tal'Chuan and then the Northern lands. Once control is established in these places then we will expand to other realities."Ashenbach: "Lady's Grace, you sure are ambitious. Doesn't it worry you that others will learn of your plans and try to stop you?"Vartus: "Not really. Some stand against us because they don't understand us. We encourage them to meet with us and converse. Those who have no interest in being open to the possibility of joining with us will fall by the way-side."Ashenbach: "Well, there you have it. The Expansionists are back in action and they look as if they will soon be joining the Kriegstanz if things progress as rapidly as they have so far. One final question: Do you think that you or your followers will be establishing themselves in the Cage in the future?"Vartus: *laughs* "Ashenbach, I'll take a leaf out of your book and reply with: soon, very soon."</blockquote>
