Men'Thar-The Lost Patriarch

"HAR-HAR! Har!" *dramatic pause* "Har."

Riding up to Cristen's side at the head of the troupe, Skarsus shouts over the thunder of hooves, Who is the leader of this place? I'm hoping that they'll recieve us in a better fashion if we seem informed?!

 

[DralonXitz]

Cristen looks over at Skarsus and replies, "I haven't the slightest brother. All I know is that the local tavern owner, Govorak, an Orc, is a pretty friendly lad, and he might be able to help you out."

Cristen rallies his men, and leads down the hill towards the small town of Zakor. Only a few minutes later, the troupe arrives at the outskirts of the town, which in it's size, the outskirts is actually the inskirts. Cristen and the troops dismount their horses and take off their helmets as a they see a farmer working in his garden, silent, tilling his potatoes.

The commander approaches the man and says, "Hail Sir, I am Commander Cristen Catharos, leader of the 23rd Devastators. May I ask where we might find the local tavern?"

The farmer coldly looks up and replies, "No tavern here anymore, friend. Since your people abandoned us, the Prince seceded, and took us with him. Now, we are ruled by the Black One, the Mage of the Night. He is our master, we answer to him. Leave or die."

Stepping up beside his comrade Skarsus put on his most genuine smile. Good man, my thanks for your informative reply. My friend here, He clapped Cristen's shoulder. And I were wondering how we would be able to talk to your new Master?

Skarsus was worried. If this man was anything to go by, then the people of this place would more likely lie or turn the group over to the Prince's forces than help. But trying the polite way first, never hurt. He just hoped the Sea Elf or that bastard thief didn't open their mouths and ruin this effort.

Zar is taken back by the cold reply of the farmer. How dare he talk thusly to Skarsus and ... that other human... but then he tells himself, they are only human; uncouthed and uncivilized, no better than a barbarian hunter/gatherer. Zar rolls his eyes and decides to just let the humans' deal with it.

"Right!" says Thromgril, "I say....we keell him!!!" as he runs a finger across his own neck and makes a horrible grimacing smile at the local. With axe in one hand he makes to jump off the cart and have at the poor bastard. But alas for Thromgril, Derrik reacts quickly and digs his shoulder into the savage dwarf's torso, "Woah there, laddie. Don' go an' mess up ye blade jus' yit." After some minor struggling, Thromgril sits back down again with an angry, "Hrrumph!" and pouts with his arms crossed in disappointment.

Stepping up beside his comrade Skarsus put on his most genuine smile. Good man, my thanks for your informative reply. My friend here, He clapped Cristen's shoulder. And I were wondering how we would be able to talk to your new Master?

The old farmer glares at Skarsus as he lays down his gardening tool and coldly says, "If you wish to talk to our Master, you will have to meet him at his Home, the Tower of Daemoria. Follow me". He slowly turns around and begins to walk towards the streets of Zakor.

As he gets out of earshot, Cristen pats Skarsus on the shoulder and says, "My job is done here brother. I would come further, but I don't want the Seperatists thinking that I'm leading a covert attack on their territory. Good Luck". He nods at his men and mounts his horse as the Devastators ride off over the hill, leaving the five heroes alone.

"Humans!" Zar'Vroxiar thinks to himself as he sees the bitter old man turn on his heels.

 

[ferretguy]

Oh Boy, me'thinks we're headin into trouble Ackalon thinks to himself Well there Zar, Looks like we're off to meet a nasty wizard....now your not going to start laughing maniacly and start on some evil power trip when we meet up are ya?

"Whatever that means. You know what would be a great idea? If you didn't speak to me, or at all, unless you had something that was actually useful to say. Yes, that would be great." Zar replies back to the half elf.
