We’ll pick this up later.[HR][/HR][USER=1282]@darkbard[/USER]4 Successes (1 Hard DC Available)/0 Failures/1 Secondary Skills Available/2 Advantages Available)Discover the Goals of the 2nd Nation[HR][/HR]The speaker dispenses with the gibberish, clasps their hands before them and begins to walk amongst the membership, clasping shoulders and engaging in soft embrace.“When I was a boy I had a terrible vision beset me. A horde of steel and pincer and sting would was over Bantouk, consuming it like a tidal wave.A few years later, The Bladeling Horde began their pillage…and it has not stopped since.When I grew old enough, I went to university. I began to understand their culture of conquest. I took lessons in history and warfare. It became clear to me. The Horde will claim Bantouk and there is nothing to be done about it. The only question is ‘who will suffer…and who will escape their fury…by alliance.’ As always happens in war and conquest, those low…in our society that would be conscripts, slaves, artisans, and lowly merchants…they will take the brunt of the blow. They will fight and die for no good end. They will suffer the full might of The Horde…including their message-sending brutality. Meanwhile, the royals, the clergy, the military? They will deal…or they will egress with their piles of gold.But not if we strike first.Not if we preemptively ally with The Horde. Arrange for their tribute. Let_them_in to claim Bantouk in a bloodless coup. The peoples that have lived under their reign have lived in peace and prosperity for decades. We would have a city where the low is no longer so…where slaves are freed…where artisans create and merchants bind our city with great commerce.”The figure hugs B-B last and hilds the embrace. They look above at the great glass skylight of the kennel where the antiseptic of the sun’s radiance pours in over The 2nd Nation. They then walk to the door and open the slat to the speakeasy grill.Looking away “…that is what I thought then…but I was a fool. Slaves are ‘freed’ and society is flattened…because The Horde will make slaves of us all if we do not oppose them with all of our might.I brought you here to uncover the Imperial mole.”He looks back and pulls his mask off and his cowl back, revealing the twin brother of Bita-bouseh. “Tis I. I’m sorry dear sister...but treason is treason.”He nods to figures gathering at the skylight before teleporting through the door via the speakeasy grille.Soldiers from above sling incendiary glue bombs through the glass skylight. Cloaks and dry thatch catch that serves as kennel bedding catches fire.[HR][/HR][USER=20459]@Nephis[/USER] Outside and above, Pa’avu sees the slingers quickly gather on top of the structure of Roughly Gelded, preparing payloads in their slings.You see figures disguised as merchants unrobe; 3 Imperial soldiers headed to the door to barricade it with a heavy cart laden with thatch.My guess is you get a telepathic message from Chanvati that something is very wrong at some point in the last short bit, but I’ll leave that to [USER=1282]@darkbard[/USER] ![HR][/HR]We need to figure out what we’re going to do here? My brain tells me a nested SC to Escape the Burning RG with possible combat downstream as another nested challenge within that. But this could also be a combat interlude with a nested SC to Escape the Burning RG.Let me know what you each plan to do PC-wise and what you think we should do here procedure-wise.Regardless Minor Quest (Discover the 2nd Nation’s Goals) completed: 150/2 = 75 XP apiece.</blockquote>
