Passage of Time here at the castle: 3 weeks for some reason sounds good to me. First player to ask me for something difinitive gets to dial it in more accurately for the group.
Oh also note, the RP area will eventually explain what happens to captian lumkiss. Cantrell also explains the real reason for going to Dweomer here. To join the RP discussion head on over. Cantrell Explains everything Don’t forget ypu get a benny for participating.
Folks arround the castle seem a bit more uplifted, friendlier, and optimistic than before. The ceremony recognizing the 13th really galvanized the legion and its purpose. Folks in general seem to walk arround with a bounce in their step and one eye looking toward a brighter tomorrow.
The day has arrived at last, assignments are given out every Wednesday and the 13th have been summoned once again to breifing room 1A. A fellow of unremarkable stature and girth, smiles forgettably as the 13th file in and take their seats. He is a captain himself and if he introduced himself his name was utterly so unimportant it was lost.
” Excellent, the heroes have arrived. Obviously Captian Lumpkiss will not be joining us. Serena Stargazeer has noted that you might have interest in going to Dweomer and there for assigned such awesome folks as yourself to that very task. You should know, despite your personal efforts, things are tense with the federation of magic. Rumors swirl arround that zone like a torrid tornado. Really the only thing to come out of the federation was the army lead by Captain Bane, and a few lewgionaire intelegence assets. Of course lets not forget Drei Marbles Left managed to thwart the droves of necromancers and murder wraiths and play a gig or two in Gloom. I even heard one of the Lords of Magic is a great Patron of that rocking German band.”
He pauses absently humming a few bars from one of their hits, ” You are therefor being dispatched to that city, but take care, for if anyone knew the vaunted Legionaires Exemplars were on the move... Well... For every friend the legion makes it seems we also make an enemy.” He pauses just long enough to make sure everything was being digested. He flashes his most unremarkable smile and brushes is very ordinary brown hair, ” It is a long journey from here to Dweomer, many cities, hamlets and villages in-between. One might think Whykin was a natural pit stop, but I would reccomend against it. Our COT stationed there went dark sometime after they reported a massive battle and were investigating what exactly occured. The investigation I am afraid must have stalled when one of our Legionaires was reassigned to the 32nd. That being said, they have not checked in for a week, and Whykin given their political views should probably be avoided. I am sure as Heroes this kind of thing is right up your alley, but...” He glances down at a sheet of paper and frowns, ” But a breif stop in Whykin, is not your primary mission, in fact you will not find mention of it anywhere on these order. Getting to Dweomer is your primary mission. Whykin should be avoided at all costs.” He takes a sip of water clearing his throat. ” Oh and you should know a trade caravan is heading out to Storm Spire as well. Why they are taking a host of dogboy crazies is beyond me!”
He slides the breifing papers to Cantrell and with a smooth forgettable smile and a bland gleam in his eye winks at everyone as he continues, ” You have the rest of the day and evening to prepare. QuarterMaster Beckwith will gladly assist such legendary heroes such as yourselves with any personal request, and I mean any request. Although if you had the unlucky fortune of pissing him off... That man holds a grudge like no other. Finally it seems with Tera Silverforge off doing only god knows in the south west the Zone Ranger is yours for now. This room has been made available for your strategic use all day. It has requisite maps and access to legionaire files on the federation of magic and more generally the magic zone. I am also here unless so dismissed to give you any assistance. If you are able to shed light on why exactly Serena Stargazer has assigned you to head to Dweomer I may be able to help you further in your preparations. Any questions?”
Breifing room 1A is available for you to use all day long. You guys can come and go as you please, strategize and talk about your vague assignment as you please. There is even a cool phone with a sweet lady on the other end who will help you out if you need anything. Something happens to each of you during that day, they don’t happen all simultaneous just at some point that day while you are taking breaks from using the breifing room. Also the ordinary captain assigned to your team in lue of Pender not being there will remain unless dismissed.
