OOC: I had been under the impression that there were only five or six henchmen with the leader. IC: Finally all of the thugs and would-be toughs are down; killed or crippled, depending on who hit them. Lethalis walks around and searches the corpses. Only gold and pictures of several members of the ring are found. One of the pictures includes ef, who has never been associated with the ring in a way that could be traced back to her. "This is bad." mutters Lethalis. "We need to increase the number of body guards. Someone get to work on assigning a regular guard shift around here! As Aloreal has disappeared, I will be taking command of the guards and Nightmare Squad until his return. Namothil! Get out there and see if you can find out who set these guys on us!" Tired of yelling over the screams coming from the man who's hip he had shattered, Lethalis throws him to one of the healers. "Heal him, I need information. "Rathlan! I need you to get in contact with the gnomes again. Someone has taken our miners and enslaved them, and I can't think of anyone better suited to sabotaging the mines so that we will still be able to rescue our miners. "Mars, I want you to get {sorry but I forgot Ouroborus' character's name} back here. He's off on his own and we need him back with the Nightmare Squad. Try to break it to him gently that his nephil friend is dead." OOC: Sorry Ouroborus, but I need to clean out the non-essential characters. I want to ensure that the only active characters will be PCs. Inactive characters, such as guards, medics, and miners, etc can be given over to whoever happens to need extra bodies, but please, no player parties, only PCs.

OOC: haha, i actually remembered my icon for once! IC: The Nightmare squad regrouped at the front door of the Inn after the assault ended. "Y'all can go inside and rest," Wise Man said, panting but ready to leave. "I'll try to get some help from the Blademasters' Guild." After leaving a note for Ef saying so, he left for the Guild... -------------------- Urban wisdom is not actual wisdom.

*After much searching Mars finds Ouroboros. Ouroboros: Who are you? Mars: I am Mars, I have been sent to deliver a message to you from the wise one. Ouroboros: Wise one? Mars: That blademaster ninja/monk type guy. Ouroboros: Oh, what is the message? Mars: Return to the base, and he also wished to pass his condolences(SP?) on what happened to your Nephil friend. Ouroboros: What happened? Mars: Well, he died. Ouroboros: He died?!!? Mars: Anyway, we must return. I'm going back with or without you, but I'd prefer to do it with you, since divided we are easy to defeat. Ouroboros: Fine, I'll go. Mars: Good. Now I'm going to conceal myself, that away if we get attacked we can take them by suprise, since none of these foes no of me. Ouroboros:Fine *Mars castes a stealth spell. And the 2 of them return to the NSI. [ Tuesday, March 11, 2003 18:49: Message edited by: Lone Flame ] Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

After questioning the survivor, Lethalis has him released, and then has Aria follow him from above while invisible. Within a couple of hours, she has identified the men who were sent to take care of the would-be assassin. After the poor man is finally killed, Aria follows the other three to another location, and begins to make a list of the people she recognizes, and gives descriptions of the men that had killed the thug. A few of the people who enter and leave the building are employed by the Family, and she notes them as well. Meanwhile, FD221 has managed to deliver his news to EF and Lethalis. The names of the men and women who have some more dirt on Ilofehk (sorry if I messed that up, I can't remember the liason's name), including some rather inappropriate relationships (according to the empire) with non-humans. Several of the soldiers from the fort are beginning to undergo treatment for skribbane addiction, and it is coming along well. ADoS has managed to come up with a remarkably affective treatment, breaking the addiction 75% of the time. Alex has opened a shop to sell his milk shakes, and is doing very good business since he keeps his prices just a little bit over cost, and can keep the shakes cold with magic. Lady Athron and Motrax wander off together and have a long discussion about the museum's future, or lack thereof. The few people who visited it apparently did not care for the subject matter, and have told others not to go see it. The dragons are faced with the dilemma of trying to cater to the public and keep from going over budget. Rathlan, who has gotten in contact with the gnomes, brings back good news. "I will be able to get some gnomish saboteurs into the mines within a week." "Good job. Could you talk to EF now? She needs you to make a delivery for Rosycat. Riibu has sent a message that she needs to drop off her report, so you'll have to see to that while you are in the area of Light Bridge" Lethalis turns back to his other reports and gets back to work. -------------------- "The hippogryph is an amazing creature rarely seen outside of the wild.

Mars: Alright, I've been fair enough. I've helped you out, but I want to know what's going on. If someone doesn't tell me I shall leave. (after hearing Lethalis explain the situation) Mars: I see. Clearly I have found a interesting opportunity here. I think I shall stay and help out. OOC: Mars has no knowledge of the character Lone Flame nor any other NSI happenings, but he does now(to an extent, thanks in part to the summery page, which was bit more vague than I had hoped it would be, however, I can work with what I know, I think,) Also, might I suggest we cut down on using our signatures, that away we can cram more into a page, so when we happen to come across another page deletion glitch we'll lose a lot more.

"Thank you, Rathlan, yes, if you deliver the skribbane to Lightbridge and keep your eyes and ears open while you do that, you greatly help me. And thank you again for bringing in the gnomes. Their support is invaluable. Carolyn's fort might be a godsend. Her amazons are terrible warriors, though much more than that. They are extremely practical women with a wide range of talent and knowledge spread among them. If you deem it necessary you can draw on their resources, their advice and help. Try them." -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

On the way to the Blademaster's Guild, Wise Man was ambushed by a party of 10 from the rival gang. "You'll pay for maulin' ma bro like that," the party shouted before they all charged into battle. Wise Man knew that he alone can never face 10 strong warriors out in the open. But knowing that he's barely within sight of the NSI, he decides to fight and try his luck; hopefully there's a member of the Nightmare Squad nearby... -------------------- Urban wisdom is not actual wisdom.

*Mars decides to get to know the surrounding area, since he was going to be there awhile. He comes across Wiseman. Then Mars kills one of the 7(yes, WM killed a few of them before Mars got there). Mars: Need some help? Wiseman: Sure. *Mars and Wiseman engage the remaining 6 in combat. Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

"What the hell are you doing here? The army of New Exile will not be brought under an Imperial ruler!" "We are no Imperials, your generalship. We are acting in our own interests, and that of the world. What would you say if I were to tell you that we could start a new empire -- with New Exile as its capital province?" "You're mad. The world is better-off as it is." "Your soldiers disagree. And so do mine. Goodbye, General Hellam."

*Mars castes a haste spell, but nothing happens. Then Mars readies a fireball, but it fades away. Mars pulls out his daggers. Mars: I've got a bad feeling about this... *Mars slits one guy's throat, and stabs another. Wiseman throws some (whatever he throws) at 3 of the assasins, killing them. Wiseman: 2 of them and 2 of us. Mars: Yeah, too easy. *Wiseman impales an assasin. Then Mars throws a dagger at the last one, killing him. Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

*Mars pulls out his iPod and starts listening to "Shimmer" by Fuel and due to his inability to just listen to the music and not sing it, everyone else in the lobby here it(though not anywhere near as well as it's supposed to sound) Some guy: Shut up! (many death threats later) *Mars stops singing to the song. Some chick: Thank the gods, the torment has ended.

After doing a thorough personnel search, Wise Man found that only a few new Blademasters were available on-call. He made a request for them to guard the NSI, then exited to meet Mars. "Where's the assistance?" Mars asked the moment he saw Wise Man. "There will be five new Blademasters patrolling the area starting tomorrow." With that, the two returned to the inn... -------------------- Urban wisdom is not actual wisdom.

*Mars castes a fireball spell and destroys a tree. Mars: Interesting. I wonder why it stopped working in that fight... Must have been and antimagic cloud, I'd better practice my daggers more, in case that happens again. *Mars practices fighting with his daggers for a while. Then he goes inside.

OOC: Please guys, no random battles that begin right after the last fight ended. It makes it hard to actually get to the meat of the RP. It also becomes a sort of graphicly violent spam if it happens too often. IC: Working with EF's spymaster, Lethalis begins to work out a plan on how to expose the Dragon Maw cartel to someone higher up in the government than Ilofehk. In a way that will make the common people cry out for the cartel's blood. -------------------- "The hippogryph is an amazing creature rarely seen outside of the wild.

OOC: One key assassination of someone loved by the people, or something that links Dragon Maw to a child brothel, or setting it up so that Dragon Maw takes the fall for an open battle in one of the cities.

OOC: If you want my honesty I will have to quote Ragnarok's signature: Side effects may include: ...nausea, vomiting... I cannot change your fascination with blood and destruction, so do something useful and bring down a child brothel (though I'm not sure if such things are permitted by the CoC) OOC: Ouroboros, your nephil died.

Namothil slipped back into the inn, after having spent hours visiting information dealers, and scouting around on his own. He walked over to Lethalis to report. "Not much information readily available. Either this group is staying hidden, or they've bribed the local information brokers to stay quiet. They appear to have a facility of some sort outside of town, though. I counted six guards at the door, four pairs patrolling the perimeter. No information on the interior, but it's large enough to house at least three times what they had outside. Two suspicious looking statues just inside the front doors. I observed no movement, but I suspect golems. He unrolled a city map. "The building is located here. Additionally, some of the brokers I could persuade to talk mentioned rumors of a wizard involved in this ring. Aside from the possible golems, I saw no evidence for that, but it should be considered in any planned assault." OOC: Been busy with exams lately (Note: The recent visitors listing is not accurate for me - I leave a browser window with these message boards open fairly often, even when I'm not really at my computer.) Spring break next week, but I won't have reliable internet access for most of it. Posts: 422 | Registered: Tuesday, October 16 2001 07:00 |

FD: From what I've collected, the rival gang is connected to the slith archmage Renar'thal. He somehow came from Exile, and not much is known about his past. His base of operations is a small town north of here. I'm going to go do more spying to find out more. -------------------- "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster... when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes back into you." -Friedrich Nietzsche "There is no dodging the quad laser." -Ugnagnok Posts: 469 | Registered: Thursday, November 14 2002 08:00 |

"My dear ef: General Hellam, a figure loathed by the army of Exile but loved by its beauracrats and people -- and the man responsible for the army of New Exile -- has been assassinated. The job was done in a professional fashion, and I have reason to suggest a man below him hired an assassin to remove him. In any case, this death is tremendously expedient in some ways, and tremendously inexpedient in others. His successor, General Lewis, has a much harsher view of skribbane than his successor did. Unfortunately, the direst option is not a possibility, as Lewis has quite the silver tongue. The army and the populace alike revere him, and his popularity is staggering. However, his investigation of Hellam's death has been conducted in a quick, imprecise, and wrathful fashion. It would be a trivial issue to reliably pin the death of General Hellam on the skribbane ring you plan to eliminate, as Lewis will surely destroy them. Should you declare your martial wing to be a private vigilante force brought together to eliminate them, I doubt that any thought will be given to it. --Ilofekh Posts: 2449 | Registered: Monday, October 15 2001 07:00 |

"Will one of you errand boys - yes you - take this letter to the liaison? Thank you." Dear friend, this is good and desastrous news, depending how I look at it. Thank you for taking the time to show me a path I feel I can easily follow. As always, ef "Lethalis, policies have to change after this assassination. We will have to be extremely careful as to how and when we distribute. Also you are of now my official private army sent out to destroy all skribbane rings for the sake of the country. No enmity, no competition - we simply fight the evil, supporting our new army leader as best we can.
