Message: <blockquote data-quote="PieAndDragon" data-source="post: 3549092" data-attributes="member: 18108">Homeward BoundCome morning, my head was clouded by a haze, and many of my thoughts would not complete themselves. We wasted no time leaving for Johnstown, taking the silks we had acquired in the wagons. No problems presented themselves on the way home, and we returned in a few short weeks.Murias honoured our agreements, paying us our due, and we divided our spoils from the journey. Saying my farewells, I bid my former companions good luck in their endeavours, and returned to my temple of Yelmalio, ready for a period of rest, training and thoughtful introspection.My superiors were very interested in my travels, making me give a detailed account of all I had seen. The priests of Sun and Truth asked many questions about the troll city, probing for more information about defences, troops, military preparations and other related matters. They agreed on my views about the heavy tuskers, that such foes should be executed without mercy. I suspect I was sent on a scouting mission, and one day a Yelmalio army will march to wipe out the troll blight from this world. Hopefully I will be there to see such a wondrous thing.My next few weeks were good ones, spent learning the secrets of the Yelmalio cult, improving my command of firespeech and honing my skills in spear and shield. I completed a number of exercises designed to aid balance and poise, practicing dance-like patterns until I was nimbler than ever before. Twice I was asked to lead sermons in the temple of the Sun-Lord, and while in my first attempt, the brethren’s response was strangely quiet, in my second I switched to the evils of troll-kind, and managed to spark a stronger response among my cult-companions to my message.During this time I searched for more tasks suitable for a warrior with a proud heritage such as mine. Many of my cult were concerned over a lost griffyn, intelligent flying beasts allied to our cause, much favoured by the Sun Lord. No reward was offered, but many wanted to find the lost family member. I approached several groups of Yelmalio brothers to see if they needed my aid, but none suited what I was after. Each group seemed to be dominated by a single rune priest and their immediate hangers-on, servants and guards. I had no intention to become a lackey to such a priest, as many of the Muskovy clan have more pride. And rightfully so.Instead another opportunity presented itself. My old companion Khaki approached me about a joint venture between her cult and mine, and the Humakti as well , to be lead by herself. We would be hunting for cult relics lost in a chaos attack a couple weeks away, and would receive some of these relics as a just reward. Sensing more opportunities beside a proven ally, I accepted the proposal and found myself once more in cahoots with Hoisin and Liverpate.Another adventure awaited us.</blockquote>
