Greetings Members of the Most Honorable Silver Dragons, My name is Veronius Decimus Meridius, I am commander of an Elite Intelligence group of the Aquilonian Army known as the Watchers. Our duty is to protect Aquilonia from groups, which wish to do harm to the King and Aquilonia. We monitor the movement of hostile groups and we identify new hostile groups and then take the appropriate action against them. I come before you today to propose an alliance of like-minded guilds to help stem the growing tide of evil that is growing in the lands of Hyboria these days. United we can stand strong and protect and defend all that we hold dear. So far I have created an alliance between: The Watchers, The Grey Order, the Shield of the Lion, the Order of the Obsidian Flame, and I seek more guilds to join this Grand Alliance. The days grow dark, and evil prospers so I feel it is of the up most importance that the good people of Hyboria unite in Alliance to protect the freedom we all hold dear. I am arranging a summit meeting this Saturday between leaders of the guilds I have mentioned above. We would be most honored if representatives from the Silver Dragons can attend. I thank you for your time and wish you all the best. Most Respectfully, Commander Veronius Decimus Meridius
"Hail Commander Veronius Decimus Meridius. Welcome to the stronghold of the Order of the Silver Dragons. Please lower your guard as you are amongst friends here. Please come with me and I will introduce you to our Commandants as well as our mighty Guild Leader Sook Dukar, and we can discuss your proposal amongst food and wine." Zsolaith stepped forward, bowing slightly to the presence of the unknown warrior before him, while stretching his right arm to motion towards the path leading to a stone stairway up ahead. Zso
*Veronius bowed in greetings to the man and smiled warmly* "I think you good sir for your hospitality, and look forward to meeting Lord Sook" *With that comment Veronius walked along the path the was pointed out to him.*
As Commander Veronius Decimus Meridius starts to walk Iwrath greets him,"Glad you decided to visit the Stronghold, I trust I gave you good directions? We share some like friends obviously so lets have this dialogue amongst ourselves". Iwrath then pours some ale for the man,"Then we'll partake in the pleasures of ale, meat and women!"
*After completing his detailed report Zsolaith remained at attention* Sook set his cup on the table, "Thank you for the information my Knight... My generals inform me that an invasion on our territories in the Borderlands is massing... See if these warriors of the Kings will aid our defense this coming Friday. After our men and women have fought shoulder to shoulder... I might be very interested in forging new relationships with them..... I have heard of this group... They fight with courage... This could prove most benificial to our Order. "
*belch* AHH! A new guy *hic* Perhaps we can spill some blood together on the battlefield eh? *takes another swig of ale* NOW! I am War, commander of....myself *hic* and I wanna assit ya with whatever I can. A ROUND OF ALE FER THE NEW GUY! *slides off chair and stands up* I ment to do that... ooc: Welcome and Zso is our voice of reason and alliance with other guilds. Hopefully a treaty can be maintained, but time will tell. Glad you took the time to visit us as well.
"Yes the directions were very good and I thank you for your invitation." Veronius takes the goblet and takes a long drink of ale.
Veronius laughs and raises his goblet in salute to War. " A great pleasure to meet you sir indeed I would enjoy spilling the blood of our mutual enemies together." Veronius drains the remaining ale in his cup and allows it to be refilled.
Greetings Veronius! We are very glad that you have paid us a visit. We hold our alliances very dear to our heart and we do not rush into them lightly. We know of your guilds and approve of your tactics. We would, however, like to get to know any potential allies personally before we commit. For when we commit, we treat our allies like family and will back them up to the death. I suggest some joint ventures that will allow our guilds to get to know each other. You do not truly know someone till you bleed beside them. I know Lord Sook informed you of our potential Battle this Friday, what say you of joining us in the defense of our Battlekeep?
I understand the need to ensure that allies can work together and can create a coherent fighting unit. I would be most honored to help you defend your Battlekeep this friday! The blood of your enemies will stain the ground and they will pay for their foolish venture of attempting to take your fortress. ((ooc: What time is the Siege?))
*raises an eyebrow* I like where this is going.... Our vulnerability starts on FRIDAY @ 8pm EST (5pm Pacific)... We're gathering troops 30 minutes before. Should our enemies opt not to attack this week.... We'll use the group for a RAID of some sort... So the collection of soldiers will NOT be in vein regardless.
Sounds like we're both in the west... =) We'll work it out.... Pass this along to your countrymen.... We're eager to meet you all.
I will do so Sook I look forward to fighting side by side with the honorable Order of the Silver Dragon. ((OOC: do you have a vent server you will be using for the siege/raid?))
May I ask if a fellow guild joins you in the defense of your Keep and the Raid later as well? The Grey Order is a like minded guild and filled with loyal servants to his highness King Conan.
Commandant Sprig sits quietly in the top room ofthe alchemy tower, carefully disecting a winged demon captured during the Order's operations in Stygia. His delicate concentration is interupted by the loud sounds of merriment, carousing, and general high spirited foolishness that the stern and quiet Priest of Mitra detested. Looking out the window, however, brought new thoughts to his head, "A visitor whom I do not recognize... Intriguing and welcome tidings at this hour." Sprig mused. Setting down his knife, tongs, and glasses, Sprig removed his blood-soaked apron and covered the body of the demon. Sprig rushed to the hall and observed the events. ((Welcome! We don't have a good numbers count right now, but I will personally assure you a slot, Veronius, and will tenatively plan 6 slots at least for your fellows. I am fairly certain that we will have some empty slots, so any and all support is appreciated. Sprig, Zsolaith, Masmoudi (relation to Sir Bryce), and Sook will likely be the points of contact.))
Veronius enjoys the celebration with his friends and downs his third full cup of ale. He begins to sing and chant some popular Aquilonian battle hymns as the merriment continues. ((Thank you Sprig I will have no problem filling up those six slots. I look forward to tomorrow ))
*War snores loudly face down on the tavern bar, mug spilleling onto the floor* ZZZZZzzzz...... 00c: This will be exciting indeed! ;-)
Well, here's you chance. We are being sieged tomorrow. We could use the assistance! We will start converting and inviting people around 6pm EST and the siege starts at 8pm EST. SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!
((If you have specifics in numbers of people, let me know. I am trying to get some head counts so we can be prepared.))
