OOC: keep yourself..

IC:

Opening the missive, Gunthar's face quickly grew grim as he read.   "This is very fell news indeed.  Lord Palanthas, I declare a state of emergency, I will need your full support.  According to this missive a massive army of orcs has been ammassing in the mountains to the west of here, cloaked by various anti-scrying magic.  We can expect an attack within the next couple of days."

"My lord Paladine... this is horrible.  It is the peak of the trading season.  You have my full support Lord Gunthar."

Fearless Leader
Reaction post go!

[Shukuen]

"Oh dear. Orcs?" Reiko fretted a bit, "Do you think they might have something to do with the hobgoblins I ran into on my way here? They did seem determined to stop me for some reason."

[Dracos]

"Hobgoblins? This far afield already?  Indeed it's worse than I suspected.  We are much indebted to you for bringing this to us." Lord Gunthar bellowed.

Fearless Leader

[Shukuen]

Curious, she wondered, "Well, if the hobgoblins and orcs are somehow connected, then do you think they're following someone's orders as well?"

[Dracos]

"Yes, it would have to be that fiend Toede.  I must go immediately to request more supplies."  Gunthar all but flew from the room.

"By Paladine, it must be bad  to get Lord Gunthar in such a huff... This is terrible... absolutely terrible."

Fearless Leader

[Shukuen]

"Well I'm sure it will turn out okay," Reiko tried to reassure Palanthas, "He IS the captain of the knights after all."

[Dracos]

OOC: Another one bites the...

IC:

"Yes....you're right.  Lord Gunthar is the most talented general outside of  Silverymoon.   But what of you Lady Reiko?  What will you do?'

Fearless Leader

[Shukuen]

"Well, I'm not too sure," Reiko admitted. "I should go back, but with what's going to happen soon, I -- Ooh! I don't know what to do."

Looking concerned, she asked, "Do you want me to stay and help?"

[Dracos]

OOC: Can the forum overheat?

IC:

"Would you indeed lend us your powers Lady Reiko?  The student of Ramzour would certainly be a moral booster for the people."

Fearless Leader

[Shukuen]

Reiko smiled and nodded. "Sure. It'll probably take a day at most for them to reach the city. Plenty of time for me to prepare."

[Dracos]

OOC:Let's live for today

IC:

"Thank you, we will provide you with housing and food.   Reingard, please lead Lady Reiko to our finest guest house."  Lord Palanthas smiled congenially.

"If you will Madam."  the butler  reappeared near the  door.


Fearless Leader

[Shukuen]

Reiko blushed, thanked Palanthas, then followed the butler.

[Dracos]

Leading Reiko down the stairs, the butler left the house and came to a magnificiant smaller house nearby. Stopping he opened the door to the dwelling.....

Fearless Leader
Chance to react

[Shukuen]

"Wow! This -- this is too much for me!" she tried to politely refuse. "I'm sure I don't deserve all of this."

[Dracos]

"Madam, this is what the Lord of Palanthas ordered."
