Heroes, Inc.: Aftermath

[DM_Matt]

He smiles a bit at this. "That's some of the spunk I was hoping for," he thinks.

He pats her hand then begins speaking again, "We're not giving up yet. We are fairly confident the Ogre leading the northern army is the 'Master of War' and he is the only one of the twice-damned that has revealed himself on the field of battle. We will soon be taking the fight to him hoping to at least take out one threat."

"Alethia has also bargained with Selune and Mystra and they have granted us a duplicate gem similar to the one we trapped the Namer with. The Gods have loaded it with a nasty surprise for whomever seeks to set 'him' free. We are hoping to bait a trap, possibly letting the enemy 'capture' this item in hope of it making it's way back to Chronos."

"Texter has risen as the only real opposition to Aiden taking power. We are currently petitioning some of the other nobles in hopes of securing new benefactors willing to support us in our continued fight."

"Lastly, Aiden has requested a meeting with us on the morrow. We need to come up with some plan as to how we are going to deal with that before we sit down with that viper."

"Forgive me. I accuse without proof. Something about him just seems wrong to me," he smirks.

Maggie grasps Timrin's hand, and looks up, bitter and mournful.

" His policies alone are enough for me to oppose his rule. He will tear down the institutions and systems that keep this city prosperous, holy, and strong, and stoke people's greed into a feeding frenzy that rips our economy to bits. Killing my best friend to get there was not especially necessary to establish my hatred. We may have no choice but to work with him for the time being, but he must die for his crimes.

The same goes for the Thayans. Until their Enclaves are eradicated form the civilized world, they will spread their evils. Perhaps Zarun did us a favor when he had the Waterdeep Enclave destroyed.

I will unfortunately be stuck here for the time being, but please, go, mete out justice, for the living, and for the dead."

"Its going well. Its largely built and our men are quite content to operate from tents in the mean time. Operations will be moving into the permanent building over the course of th enext couple weeks."

"That is truly good news to hear. I have heard too little good news lately. I am happy to have been able to serve Ilmater in the founding of a full temple in Waterdeep. I truly hope that it can help those that need it and provide some other protection to the city. Is there anything I can do while I am here? I don't have to be back at the compound for a few hours."

"Have faith Maggie."

"The Gods have not abandoned us. Our capture of the Namer continues to unravel his cloak of deceit. The Twice-damned are not wholly hidden now. Perhaps soon they can be unmasked and dealt with directly."

"All our hearts are heavy but one must hold out hope."

With that he kisses her hand gently.

"Rest and get well. We will talk again soon."

He winks as he rises then bows and slowly walks away.

Alethia got up and went to search for Timrin. "Timrin? Can we talk?" she asked quietly.


ooc:
Sorry, post troubles, had to amend it.

(After yo uguys do that, its about time to meet with Aiden)

Meanwhile, the priest tells Shando "Well, there are plenty of poor and hopeless to minister to, especially in times such as these. Just find an unused tent and people will certainly be sent your way."

OOC: I thought we were still on the same day and the meeting was tomorrow. Shando will be there for the meeting with Aiden.

Timrin looks at her curiously and shrugs, "Of course. What is troubling you Alethia?"

Hawkeye

It is. I mean in OOC logistics time.

OOC: OK. Then Shando spends the rest of the day at the temple helping out and then goes to the meeting with Aiden the next day.

Timrin looks at her curiously and shrugs, "Of course. What is troubling you Alethia?"

"Has it occured to you that the army in the north is a feint? One to distract us if nothing else. It seems far too convenient that one of the twice damned shows itself in such a vulnerable way. Look at Cronos, we have yet to see him, only his henchmen." she said tiredly.

"The wars between the various nations are also troubling. To me, it's obvious that these Rakshasha agents or other shapeshifting of the twice damned are behind the hostilities. When the wars are done and the enemy is at it's weakest, then the twice damned will swoop in and pick off both sides with little or no trouble."
