The Legonater

I and Claire are faring well, thank you. As for my light-killing, the other day I went and helped the elves near R'klif attack a pirate base. The Minotaur escaped, but we were able to severely hamper his operations. Before then was... Baltarok, I believe. How are you? Also, do I have anything you'd like to purchase? I need to make a quick buck before the Decamon tournament. I sign up for Quest 121

I sell my Silver Ore for sixty gold. 82+60=142 gold.

I thought I'd been keeping up to date, but it's possible I missed some during a battle. Results of Round Two of the :Zabrak uses Astral Projecton - Mercenary C Protected >Thalion vs. Zabrak(Twice) - Critical Hit ((((13x2)+30)x2)=112 damage; 647-224=423) >William vs Mercenary C - Critical Hit Protected >Alexander vs Mercenary D - Shield: Marking the Favoured (((15x3)x2)+26=116 damage; 93-116=KO'd) Dovanna vs. Mercenary A - Miss Siercon does nothing Quellir vs. Mercenary E - Shield: Take Charge (Quellir Encouraged) Lachterson vs. Mercenary B - Damage (50-10=40 health) Mercenary E vs. Thalion ((10/2)-12=0 damage) The Phibbian tries its magic, and protects one of the mercs. With Zabrak distracted, Thalion went in for a deadly hit, cutting a deep swath into the mage. Alexander takes another deep slash into a mercenary. Quellir is encouraged by the assault. William and Dovanna both fail to land a proper hit, and Lachterson is struck by an enemy.

Returning back to the hall, Dyric takes a look around. Seeing a group of familiar faces, he moves towards the table, seating himself across from Nerwen. 'Been a while. I don't think I've said hi since you're gotten back.

Honestly, he seems perfect for the part as far as I'm concerned, I'm just worried about over-saturation. Cumberbatch is everywhere lately, and Marvel has thrived on relatively low-key actors. That said, I'm still excited.

Party update tomorrow. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. The heroes, feeling the pressure, hurry forward. As they round the corner to their destination, they find themselves blocked by a familiar face. Or at least, something familiar. I am afraid your journey comes at an end here, mortals. Turn back, or perish.

Dyric overhears Guts over the noise of the Hall and snickers to himself.

It seems I wasn't nearly in the loop as I thought it was. That said, I know their plan involves a chamber they recently mined with the help of the Norghs. On your map it's that large cavern to the north and then the west, it accessible from both passages. As for the employer, I don't have any clue. That's really hush-hush, even for the higher-ups. I didn't even know about Morcrass until now. I think the employer's in charge of something, something big. Their plans are equally big, from what I've gathered. I just... I don't realize how I could have been so duped.

Honestly, I'm perfectly fine with the new lightsaber and droid and everything. Star Wars has always ran a little bit on the 'ridiculous' side, and these elements totally fit in with what we've seen before. I love it.

I don't expect you to trust anything. Heroica has trampled in the Kingdoms before, saving those they deem worthy and crushing the rest. If I tell you our plan, you'll go about in hopes to ruin it. Morcrass and his boss know full well that any sort of fabricated peace will not last, I can tell you that. Their plan involves peace through domination, through control. It is the only way. I realize you cannot hope to understand our actions. So many of you are struck with hard opinions on what is 'good' and what is 'not.' But the ends justify the means, and if freedom is the goal than people will commit any atrocity to achieve it. It is one undeniable, and may I say a fundamental quality of the people on this world. When faced with extinction, every alternative is preferable. Surely you can understand that.

Sadly, I think diplomacy will be more complicated than that. You're from the Hands of Throngs, aren't you? You've heard of us? A few of us were part of the investigation a year back that first exposed you. Are you still working that terrorist Morcrass? Are you still working with those mercs from Heroica? Terrorist? What are- You are noble, heroes. I can see that, but the Norghs stand with the Hands. Look, no one said anything about terrorism. And no one should. We are freedom fighters. We have always had the future of the Kingdoms in mind, unlike some people. And this is your idea of freedom? Last time we met Morcrass he was trying to ruin the peace treaty. This doesn't exactly factor into grand unity either. The peace between Delfrin and Duplovia is a fragile one. What we're doing will eventually make a lasting one. Besides, we're not the ones causing the problems here, we're only trying to help. You can come with us if that is your desire, but we will continue forward anyways. The hour is approaching, and it is time to act.

No Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch or Vision? That seems doubtful, you'd think they'd really want to market those.

Up here. The heroes continue up the passage, until they round the corner to a group of armed individuals - two Norghs, a man of Delfrin, and two well-armoured soldiers with a peculiar mark on their shields. Seems you were more right than you know, Siercon. Heroes! So you're the ones behind all this. I should have figured Duplovia would be backing you. Uglrukh, what are you thinking!? I figured we could use them in your boss' plan. You figured what now? Bardrick, is that you? What are you doing with these men? Trying to find you. What? But the Heroes- What a mess of things you Norghs have made! Please. You wouldn't have come half as far without us. What is going on!?

I generally play Dyric as quests affect him. I'm pretty sure the whole 'Assassin of the Light' idea wasn't planned out, nor has really anything since his first couple quests. There's a moment I want to do some time soon, but I'm going to let it happen naturally, so who knows how long that will be.

It wouldn't be Star Wars without a dozen conflicting sources as to how they got those plans.

Hmm, an interesting offer. I suppose I will have to accept your offer.

We secure our position, and wait until the time is right.

Lachterson took a patrol of the men up through the North West passage, you can likely find him there. As for the men, that is more complicated. The Marked Men are a group of freedom fighters looking for a better way to run things. Many in the area have become disillusioned with the governments of Delfrin and Duplovia. The Orcs in Baltarok have reorganized themselves, some believe we can do the same. These men believe that if they can get on top of the situation here, they may be able to swing things in the proper direction.

I have not, but we recently found a commander from Delfrin who claims to have. Likewise, we recently allied ourselves with a group of men who have a rather violent past with these mercenaries.

I think you might have looked at the map wrong. You came from the main entrance and into the area with the old mine shaft. You never went across to the Norgh Camp in this wing until now. The heroes wind down the path to the Norgh Camp. There, they find a group of the short miner armoured up. Greetings, travelers. I am Uglrukh, knight and leader of the Norghs here. And who might you be?
