Chapter One, Those Things That Will Help Me Orcs (Iptz) |
Lead | |
|
Inside his tent, Melharn gasps when his half-orc companion reveals his divination: the rumors of Mythal and Karsus' lost spells are indeed true, and with them, even a farmer can wield the power to rival the gods. Uniting the orcs of the north... no, uniting orcs from everywhere, even from the other worlds will be a piece of cake; wars will no longer be called wars, they will be called victories.

"Cormyr, thats a very long way from here, going there will take at least half a year." He looks at his cohort "What does your magic say? We leave the mountains and take the journey to Cormyr?"

The half-orc shrugs, "That is your decision. You do not follow us, we follow you. But I can tell you, orc army moving a large distance will not be easy."

"Going with the army?! You got crazy?" Shouts Melharn "We will get slaughtered on the way! How you got that stupid idea of going to Cormyr with an army? We go alone, you and me, that will be much safer and attract much less attention... going with the army... Argh!"
He stands up "Make yourself ready we leaving soon" he shouts to Karsk and leaves the tent, heading to the stables to take his horse and prepare himself for departure. |

"I am always ready." Karsk sneers, "Just make sure you can somehow manage your horde leaving so suddenly, who knows what them stupid ones will do." With that, he heads for his tent and start making preparations.

Melharn takes his horse from the stables and orders one of the stable guards to gather the troops in the camp in front of his camp in 15 minutes.
He takes the horse and heads back to the tent, takes his backpack, food for 2 weeks, checks his weapons and after 15 minutes exactly he walks out. Looking around and checks that most of the followers there. |

Melharn arrives at the center of the encampment, finding that most of his followers are already waiting for him. This type of summoning is rare, and even the not-so-bright among them knows something important is going on. The commonly noisy orcish site is suddenly quiet. Karsk soon arrives as well.

Melharn waits few seconds until only the freezing wind of the north is heard, he examines the orcs once again and slowly begins his speech
"Not many news from the out side world find their way to our frozen land, we a rarely involved in matters that do not concern our land directly" He pauses "This time it is deferent, no one can stand aside and miss an opportunity to fulfill his dreams and destiny, fulfill his goals when no one can stop him. This opportunity can not be missed and given away without a fight. Me and Karsk will leave, leave in order to return with much more power then we Orcs have now and then no human elf or dwarf will be able to hold our rage, when we come to conquer their land." He stops listening to the reactions and when they get quite again he finishes. "I will leave you in the strong and capable hands of your commanders" He looks at his strongest four orcs letting them and everyone else know who he meant "Your commands is to hold our land, nothing more and nothing less. When I will return we will finish what we have started. And I will return!" He steps back, looks again with intimidating look on his four commanders. Reminding them what will happened if they will disobey. Then he sits on his horse and waits to Karsk to get to him. |

The Orcs cheer at the inspiring speech of Melharn, and shouts out words of encourgement, elaborated or otherwise, as they return to their tents. The commanders you have appointed accept your task, bids you farewell and good luck, and returns as well. Karsk mounts and follows you out of the encampment.
(OOC: Travelling mode enabled. Unless otherwise stated, you will travel 15 hours per day at casual speed and rest for 9 hours. Should nothing happen, the time line will advance at a suitable speed and you may check the Time thread for recent developments, and you can freely post in this thread as you desire for daily activities as well as the movement on the map and any change of plans.) |

"We will ride to Delimbyr River, from there we will continue to Daggerford, once we will get on the Trade Road the way to Treil must be easy, you agree?" Melharn says to Karsk as the get out of the encampment sight.

Karsk nods, "Sounds like a plan. I heard that there are several churches or forces siding with the Mystrian, and can cause some problems... anyways we have to get there first."

(OOC: Travelled mode interrupted)
You travelled for three days, and have been following the northern stream of the River Delimbiyr. You reach a fork of the river, which you note on your map is where the river is joined by the stream from Nether Mountains from the north and the Star Mountain from the west, inside the High Forest. You also notice that to the south not too far away, a humanoid have emerged from the forest, and seem to have noticed you.. |

Melharn will continue his ride as planed, he have no intension nor time to make contact with others, therefor unless the humanoid will talk first he will just pass bye.

After riding closer, you see that it's a male Human, that has his hand on the longsword by his side, waiting and looking at you as you ride by, but does not otherwise engage you in any way.

Human... bha...
Melharn looks at the human with unfriendly look, and keeps riding. |

You contiune your travel, but notices that the Human seems to be following you slowly... however, his speed is too slow for the horses' speed, and soon he disappears out of your sight.

"Was he following us?" Says Malharn to Karsk with half laughter, and after a moment of thought he lowers his voice out of caution and says "What do you feel about little ambush? He probably have some values on him, humans are alway easy targets." Not waiting to his response he speeds up his horse and direct him to a place where he can take cover and hide the horse.

"Bah, anything beats this boring ride." Karsk grunts and quickly follows your lead, and hides behind some trees.

Melharn smiles, jumps down from his horse, takes out his bow, prepares few arrows and makes himself ready to shoot, as soon as he sees the human he will shoot him with three 'slay human' arrows.
"This fight should be as easy as fighting a dragon egg." he says to Karsk "Move the horses out of site, we do not want him to spot us. But stay close, if we have to hunt him down." |

Karsk moves the horse away and comes back, just in time to see someone approaches with you... but it is not the person you are waiting for. In fact, it's not even a Human: it looks like a large bear, and it is moving towards you at casual speed.

"A bear? A Druid?! So it is not a regular human after all..." He says to Karsk "Get your spells ready, This will not be an easy fight, though I am sure it will be greatly rewarded. Gruumsh gave us great opportunity" After those words he shoots the bear with slay human arrow.
