[swils]

"I'm fresh outta Phoenixes."

Thormanil repeats.

[The Legonater]

I fire at Gor and Dyruultar B from the back.

It's attitude like that that leads to mistakes, Gor. Mistakes like starting a war that doesn't need to happen.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

[Scubacarrot]

"Damn it Haldor. Olmstyr, attack Gor, back row."

Guts attacks Gor twice from the back row.

Gor spat out another mouthful of blood between his teeth, breathing ragged, but amazingly, despite the gallon of blood Haldor had drawn from him, still alive. Evidently he wasn't lying when he said he was a survivor. Out in the distance, the heroes could see a single figure walking from an obvious vantage point by the camp down towards them. The hobgoblin general coughed violently.

"...Shhttshh...if you...hum-mans...show as much con.....vic-tion, in find-ding....peace...as you do fight-ting.......per-haps....there will be no need...for those like Gor..."

Light snow began falling from the sky to paint the tough, frosted earth one again.

"If...the sev-ven of you, could defeat me.....and my strong-gest......what chance...do we have a-gainst the kings?"

Gor coughed up even more blood.

"What...what if you are wrong, hum-mans? Are the orcs.....and gob-blins.....sim-ply....doomed? Are we to....stand a-lone, a-gainst all our great en-e-mies, as we al-ways have? No-thing but.....hate, and fear...to drive us to-wards an im-poss-ible vic-tor-y?"

Guts faces towards his party members, pats Dyric on his shoulder, nods towards the rest. "Well done, well done, all. Manage to snatch anything, Alexandre?"

The raider walked up to him, and squatted down next to him, cleaning the blood off Lifestealer with the general's ponytail. "Moment of truth. Do my fellow heroes want you to live? I wonder." The raider raised again, in anticipation of his party-members' answers. While looking over the loot, Guts says clearly:

"You're contradicting yourself, Gor. Orcs and Goblins are not alone if they stand together. Perhaps it's time for your peoples to stop being scared little girls of what lies to the east."

Guts hands 210 of his personal gold to Thormanil. "Anyone any preference for the Hide or Spear for any future activity? Otherwise the Spear goes to Dyric and the Hide to Alexis." Guts tosses the two Grand Tonics to Haldor, one remedy to Thormanil, one to Haldor and one to Alexandre, one smoke bomb to Alexandre and one to Thormanil, 30 gold to Alexis, 30 to Dyric, 35 to Alexandre, 30 to Haldor, 30 to Thormanil. Guts keeps the Grating Stones.

"You're contradicting yourself, Gor. Orcs and Goblins are not alone if they stand together. Perhaps it's time for your peopless to stop being scared little girls of what lies to the east."

"My peo-ple are too bu-sy kil-ling one an-oth-er o-ver the....rock, they call home. Ci-vil war.....with-out end. The un-i-ty of Go-blo-ni-a is a lost cause, else I would have stayed. At least the orcs are in a po-si-tion to do some-thing.....war is my art, but I will not waste it on such point-less con-flict. Vic-to-ry in my home chang-ges no-thing....vic-to-ry here....would change the en-ti-ire fu-ture of all green-skins."

"Moment of truth. Do my fellow heroes want you to live? I wonder."

Gor snorted, evidently amused.

[swils]

Arx gleefully flies over to retrieve the gold from Guts. "I sure wouldn't mind adding another toy to my collection, if no one else minds terribly."

[Scorpiox]

"Just before we go any further, we're letting this creature live. I'm still pretty pissed that we had to go through with that massacre, ain't no-one else dying today."

Haldor kicked a nearby corpse in frustration, turning to Gor once he had finished.

"Now, you tell me, what in bloody hellfire was the point of that? Your clan-leader just gave us the go-ahead to knock-off all of your best men 'cause she couldn't be ársed to listen. Traditions or not, that battle was a waste of time and a waste of life. Are your leaders so naive to assume that you could really fend off an invasion if you're too busy lettin' strangers wipe out your strike force out of pride and bigotry? I respect you for having the courage to follow your orders and fight a battle you couldn't win, but come on, there's got to be times that you stand up and think: 'hey, is it smart to get everyone killed here?' You've got to stand up against any leadership that can't tell tactics from its fat head."

He spat blood onto the sodden earth and muttered under his breath.

"If the rest of the clans are like this, your people ain't got a hope in hell."

[The Legonater]

My opinion on his survival is totally dependent on what he plans to do, boss. If he keeps rooting for war and destruction, he's not worth it if you ask me, and will only bring more death to everyone.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Thanks Haldor. You didn't have to do that." Alexandre then throws 2 Grand Potions into the loot pile. "I think I snatched these. "

[CMP]

You've got to stand up against any leadership that can't tell tactics from its fat head."

"These orcs......knew what a-wai-ted them. If you had not kil-led them, they would have mar-ched on the bridge with-out hes-i-ta-tion. They knew the price of ser-ving Bal-tar-rok was....death. Had Gor re-fused to fight, Mar-ga would have...re-moved me from com-mand, but..."

He looked around at his fallen army, hissing under his breath.

"No sol-dier would see worth in a lea-der throw-ing their lives a-way in this way.....if they have such dis-re-gard for those un-der their com-mand, who but the most fer-vent and in-sane would follow them?"

By this time, the figure had arrived. It was Marga Pointed-Crown. She looked around in disgust as the slew of corpses that flanked her path as she approached the heroes.

"Heroes. You have come out the victors of the Mezdalgaushrahk, much though I hate the see the children of Tarok brought low by being defeated by a band of human and elvish sellswords. Clearly my troops were not ready to take on the Kingdom soldiers at the bridge. And clearly I made a poor choice in bringing out a hobgoblin to lead them."

She spat on the head of Gor, still bleeding profusely on the ground. The general growled under his breath.

"Kill this sartirn. In doing so, the Mezdalgaushrahk will be complete, and I will give you Clan Aj-Kahr's full support in....whatever it is you intend to do. Obviously you will be more worthy caretakers of our interests than this worm."

What will the party do?

[Scubacarrot]

Guts, intimidating:

"So now you wish to transfer your shame unto Gor, who fought your battle for you, and have it gone with him to grave. You're not getting off so easy. The Mezdalgaushrahk is over, Clan Aj-Kahr will follow suit. but I say Gor will live. This is not Gor's failure, it's yours. And still you claim you are right... You are disgusting. WE have the victory under the eyes of Tarok, that means WE are right. Get that through your thick skull."

Guts turned around to his party members.

"Haldor, patch Gor up so he can walk. We came all the way here, I want to take a look at that sodding bridge."

I'm gonna wait for everyone's input on this.

[Scorpiox]

"How about you come over here and kill him yourself, bitch."

Haldor growls, spitting at the feet of the orc clan-leader and steps over Gor's wounded form to place himself between the two. He heals the goblin warrior and motions for him to stand.

[swils]

"Gor led your troops in your fight and was willing to die for your cause. This is over."

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"You slimy scumball. You're not a leader." Alexandre Intimidates as well. "And don't try and appease our feelings saying we obviously have your interests. You never said that from the beginning. "

[The Legonater]

We have defeated Gor's force, one that massively outnumbered us. Whether he lives or dies is irrelevant, we have won.

[Masked Builder]

"Let the Orc live. I've had enough death for today." Alexis says cleaning her fan off.

"Let the Orc live. I've had enough death for today." Alexis says cleaning her fan off.

Marga grit her fangs in fury.

"You insult our traditions! Death is the only permanent solution among Tarok's children. You spit on the legacy of my people, and I refuse to let it continue. By failing to kill Gor, you forfeit the Mezdalgaushrahk. No orc would let an enemy escape battle alive, it is an insult to both him and the enemy whose people he has slaughtered. You have failed me, heroes, just as Gor has. Clan Aj-Kahr will be destroyed before we would recognize your claim to help our kin. You think this is all Aj-Kahr has to offer? With this travesty, my people will be lining up to join our forces and see Tarok's will done!"

The clan leader gripped her spear tightly and made for the camp.

He heals the goblin warrior and motions for him to stand.

Gor stood up, however, spitting blood one last time at her feet.

"You call your-self re-li-gious, but Gor thinks no orc would see cer-tain death as Tar-rok's will. Look ar-round you, fool. Do you see what has hap-pend? This plan was a fail-ure. Any oth-ther clan lead-der could see that and a-dapt. E-ven these hum-mans can see that! You would call more troops in-to the void to serve you?"

Marga stopped and turned, glaring.

"You speak above yourself, hobgoblin - this is to serve Tarok! To serve our glorious god and appease him! In following his traditions, we could rebuild Baltarok in his image!"

"Per-haps you see things that way. Per-haps your close allies do. But my sold-diers will not."

"Your-"

"These men came in-to bat-tle at my bid-ding, under my lea-der-ship. They were con-tent to die for Bal-tar-rok, not for you and your ob-so-lete prac-tic-ces. Who will the rest of the troops fol-low? Mad-wom-man who de-mand they die in a use-less show of force, or the gen-ral who has eyes e-nough to see their lives were was-ted? These sell-swords took part in your in-ane tra-di-tions when they could have kil-led you with-out a thought. They may be hum-man and elv-ven, but their plans to save this place, if un-cer-tain, are more log-gi-cal than yours by far. My men will fol-low them."

Marga looked as if she were about to skewer Gor where he stood, but she merely gave a hateful look towards the rest of the heroes, and stalked off. Olmstyr watched her go, arms crossed, then turned towards the general.

"Are you sure about this, Gor? If she gains support-"

"Gor is cer-tain. Mar-ga must climb a steep slope to gath-ther sup-port af-ter this mess. Can-not say there are those who will not fol-low her re-gard-less, but they are few. It may cause some pro-blems for Aj-Kahr, but Gor thinks his men at least will see sense in his words. An-ny troops I can ral-ly will stand by you."

[The Legonater]

Good to see you've seen the light, Gor.

Where does this take us, Olmstyr?
