"More than I would've offered 'em." Atramor inhaled some Smelling Salts. "I guess you're not that smart after all," he remarked towards the girl with the cutlass.

"On-ly had the one, Gor fears."

"Well, with the support of clans Musalnav and Aj-Kahr, we're already well on our way towards having all of Baltarok united. I think our best bet would be to head back to Vim-Lhzar. It's the closest capital, and my informant mentioned Bastala and her entourage were already on their way back as of last night, so they've probably reached their palace by now. I'm taking that as a good sign that she's not also making a move on the bridge. I doubt it'll take a show of force to convince her to help us, so maybe just a discussion with her will do. It'll be a bit of a walk, though..."

Atramor followed the rest of the party out of the slum.

Thanks. These are Selkreeth. Their culture revolves around war and they live in secluded communities in the Kalma Marshlands with a tribal structure, sort of like Bugbears, to give you an idea of what they would wear.

I'd send info on the Selkreeth but I can't find the lime green head to take the stupid picture.

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. 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."

Atramor tossed a pouch of 10 coins to the girl, grumbling about useless information as he returned to Boomingham and Ellaria. "Think we're wastin' our time here," he muttered, looking back over his shoulder at the beggars. "We oughta go look for Purple and the others, I don't think these people know nothin'."

Awesome. Was wondering how you'd do his hat, they turned out really great.

Probably. Lose one person, bam, his entire species dies later as a result. And if you didn't think it could get any worse, there's always the Bley Plague.

" 'Fraid not. We're huntin' down a crime ring, can't be more than a year or two old in the city. Highly organized, might have a few werewolves in their ranks. Might be recruitin' people. Any idiot could tell crime's rampant here anyway, but you folk always have an ear to the streets, surely you've got some idea of what I'm talkin' about."

I'm mostly joking. It's a fantasy RPG, nothing ever stays dead.

Surreal. I swear I let this guy die like an hour ago. All we've gotta do is find the aoi crimelord and get all our information from her. And I swear I killed that damn plague like eighty quests ago.

"Huh. Well, has there been a lotta crime 'round here recently?" Atramor sidesteps Skrall's projectile as he sees the ogre prepare to throw it. "Moreso than usual?"

"Please. I grew up on rum that tasted like it'd been distilled outta monkey shit. I'm sure whatever fruity wine they pour up there ain't worth what they charge ya' anyway. I'll pay ya' as soon as I'm outta questions." Atramor looked sideways at the rest of the crowd, then turned back to the girl. "Lotta werewolves here. Haven't seen many of 'em in a while, where'd they come from?

"No, just sick of the usual way this seems to work. We ask people for information, they act like we're idiots and we don't get anythin' useful. I'll give ya' credit though, usually it ends up with some local gettin' themselves killed tryin' to teach us a lesson or somethin'. Ya' seem smart enough to avoid that." Atramor rolled his eyes at the girl's curtsy. "Aye. Sure. Now where can this lord find a drink? Haven't seen this many drunken beggars about since I last visited a Draidan tavern."

Atramor leaned against a wall as he watched the party get consistently rebuffed by the random people wandering around, rubbing his eyes. "This is ridiculous." "Look, lady," the regulator interjected intimidatingly. "I'm sure actin' like an impertinent little streetwise bitch works on any of the higher-ups that stumble down to this slum, but you're really just pissin' us off here. Stow the attitude and answer the damn question."

Atramor rubbed his head, looking around. McCafferey's eyes flicked back and forth between the others. "Well, that was damn weird...Patricia said our contacts'd meet us here, but I don't see any of 'em."

These are all really amazing. :thumbup: The bounty hunters and the main SW cast in particular look fantastic. And I just noticed the xenomorphs and the Aliens guys, those are just plain awesome. Any chance of seeing Indiana Jones?

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

"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?

"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." Gor snorted, evidently amused.

"There will al-most sure-ly be war. If that is the case, de-stroy-ying then bridge is our best chance. What if it slips a-way?"

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?"
