thats really impressive- it looks very cool... now add fire everywhere.... oops- just kidding???
 
The Council of Inspired and Stewards slowly awoke. Their talk was turning from a Boil of strategy into a simmer of sighs. 11 Divisions of Undead! Alliances Broken! Back-stabing, coersion, pawning of techs. Their warchest barely crested the need of a few thousand when a young scribe reminded them of the Tribute. Their economy has stagnated, even with the extreme payments to the economy. Their military drooped, dying even with the influx of volenteers. The hope of support was down to nil...

Then, a scroll came in.
Dear Sirs, our Caravan of Gold was assualted, and without guards, it was almost taken until the attackers left, leaving a note that this was a warning: in the future all gold sent out of the country to Bannor, Hippus, or Amure would be captured and used for a secret agency: it was not any men we know of, hooded and swift. They do remind us of the Fists so long ago. We must notify the Bannor that the Tribute cannot besent: for it will strengthen only their enemies...

The Council perked up, they almost struggled to not laugh. The Bannor would have to send troops to stop the assualt, and it wasn't their fault that the caravans are being attacked. The lead Inspired One himself broke a smile. This is just too wierd... The Amurites Shield attacked, the bannor complaining of Domestic Issues... Now this?

To The Bannor High Circle

We have learned that certain peoples have decided to take on all gold shipments in and out of our country. We have not enough forces to take them on, and will not waste gold on sending it to you. We shall stop paying payment unless you come and ask for it, and leave with a guard of more than a thousand.

They are armed, strong, fast, and as we know of, unbeated.

Have a great year.
 
I dno't find it funny. Gold sent to help the Grigori in thier defense is diseapering. these cannot be the actions of any who wish the Grigori any good.
 
The Treaty of Darkvale


As of the year 415, the ‘Als, Halluchuirp, and Sidar declare peace contingent on the following:

The Sidar will pay war reparations to the ‘Als and Halluchuirp. For two turns the Sidar will be allowed to defer payment in order to allow their economy to grow. Every turn after that, the Sidar will pay at a rate of 4 gold to the ‘Als and 4 gold to Halluchuirp every turn until the Sidar have payed 50 gold to the ‘Als and 50 gold to the Halluchuirp. In order to reduce the time required to pay off this sum, the Sidar can choose at any time to make earlier or larger payments than required. Because of the generous nature of the 'Als and Halluchuirp, the ownership of the city and province of Shroudane will be returned to the Sidar.

I, Lord Malus, Dread Emperor of the Empire of 'Als hereby swear that all of the resolves and tenets of this Treaty of Darkvale will be upheld by myself and my successors to be obeyed as law throughout my lands.

I, Verol, Grand Master Crafter of the Halluchuirp Nation, hereby swear that all of the resolves and tenets of this Treaty of Darkvale will be upheld by myself and my successors to be obeyed as law throughout my lands.

I, Adam, hereby swear that the all of the resolves and tenets of this Treaty of Darkvale will be upheld by myself and my successors to be obeyed as law throughout my lands.

May any who violate this pact be spurned by Junil, ruined by Ceridwen, culled by Death, and buried by Kilmorph, for all eternity.

Hahaha well at least we know our enemies have a sense of humour, right?

The High Circle will discuss and let all you theiving bastards know what our decision will be. It won't be pretty ;).
 
A black raven flies in the Bannor city of Vaelyn and lands into the ruling noble's home through an open window.
He speaks, in a hgih-pitched voice:
"Grigori gold sent to pay tribute to the Bannor shall be put to a better use. Croo!
Free people will not feed hellish traitors! Croo!"
The bird stops talking, looks puzzled, wondering what it may be doing here, and flies out of the window.

OOC:
I'll be unable to access the web most of next week so don't be surprised if I don't answer PMs/mails or fail to react in the forum.
 
Something serious

Spoiler :
Valas stared at the sword pointed directly at his throat.

“You,” Valas softly whisphered.

“Me,” The man was smiling now.

“I must applaud you…” Valas said, looking for some way to escape. He found none.

“…You were the last person I suspected to be corrupt” Valas finished. The man threw his head back and laughed.

“Valas, I am afraid that I have no idea what you are talking about…”

…

Hadel paced around the room, sighed, sat down and picked up his pen.

“Have you decided, then sir?” Said a voice.

Hadel looked up from the parchment. He found a man hiding in the shadows in the corner of his room.

“You must have been working on your stealth method,” Hadel mumbled. “I hadn’t noticed you.”

“My apologies,” the man stepped away from the shadow and adjusted his glasses. “That is, if I have scared you.” He finished.

“It’s okay” Hadel scribbled something on the paper. “Make sure that this reached them, would you?”

Glasses glinted, and the man took the parchment from Hadel’s hands. “As you wish…”


Something comedyish

Spoiler :
“This is suicide!” Kirsedrian yelled at Alastor.

“Shut up.” Alastor responded coolly. “We have to find it. You search that box, and I will search this box.”

“This is not a test!” Kirsedrian said. He picked up the box and looked through it anyways. “This is… total vocabulary failure!”

“Would you keep it down?!” Yelled Alastor. “We may get detected.”

“No, I won’t shut… oh… I think I found it Alastor” whispered Kirsedrian.

“Where?” Alastor demanded. Kirsedrian held up the small bag and they both marveled at it.

Doorknob slowly creaked.

“Crud” said Alastor. “RUN!!” said Kirsedrian.

They broke through the window and dropped into the streets below. A man stormed into the room. His eyes literally nearly twisted itself off its sockets.

…

“Good job.” A small boy examined the bag in his hands.

“Yeah..” panted Alastor. “There is one problem, though.”

“Which is?” The boy asked.

As if to answer that question, the door crashed open and a man rushed into the room. He turned to face the child.

Or more specifically, the bag of biscuits in the child’s hand.

One of the rare victims that had just enough time to escape the man’s wrath to take a closer look of the man’s face later claimed that he was certain that the man’s eyes were turning in different directions.

“…****” whispered the child. Kirsedrian tried to say something about the child’s grammar, but the man softly stepped on him and he was silenced.

“LEEEEYYY!” Yelled the man. He charged the boy. The boy known as Ley broke into a run and with surprising speed and grace for his size, broke through the window again to escape.

…

There were many things going on at Ley’s mind at this point. The most pre-dominant thought was of Hadel’s threats and a sudden flashback into the time when Hadel actually demonstrated it to a random thug off the street.

He gulped loudly and ran to where Gaia and Reya was.

…

“Where is him”

Gaia’s hand stopped mid-air as he was cleaning one of his daggers.

Reya’s hand stopped mid-air as she was petting a bunny.

Reya gulped. ‘That was fast,’ she thought.

Ley had arrived only a few seconds before. When she took him in, she was certain that she and Gaia could calm the beast, but now she was not so certain.

If Hadel went on a rampage inside her house and found Ley, then she and Gaia would surely be marked as a co-conspirator.

No, they were already a co-conspirator. Now the choice was this: Either risk Ley’s eternal anger or risk being grinded up into pieces by Hadel.

Reya sighed. “Before we tell you, could you get some tea from the cellar?”

Hadel immediately walked up to the cellar, opened the door and peered inside.

“Tea… Tea.. Te…” Hadel suddenly found himself staring at Ley. He reached over Ley and grabbed the packet of tea. “Reya! I found the tea, let me deal with something else first though”

‘traitors’ thought Ley. Hadel cracked his knuckle. “Now Ley, what did I tell you about biscuits?”

Just don’t kill me. Hoped Ley.

Just don’t wrench my head off

Reya winced at the sound of screaming

…

A young woman slowly read the slip of paper and smiled.
 
Wow, Seon, your elite order of bounty hunters and assasins are, well, ummm... yeah.
 
Sorry, but I am only following the example of government agency only known as the CIA. I lost faith in them as soon as I heard that they tried to kill Castro with a exploding conch shell.
 
Do you know how many times we tried to kill him? And the only one that worked was the poison that caused hi beard to fall out. Ah government efficiency at it's best. :p
 
Nah, if you know as many conspiracy theories as I do, than you can safely conclude that the CIA can't hit the broad side of a barn with a deluxe sniper rifle
 
ah, now everything falls into place. Of course, if you know enough conspiracy theories, then everyone would have noticed what I am doing now ;). Now back to CIA's utter stipudity, do you know that they recently created a poison enough to kill 5000000 people and then lost it? They later found it in their freezer. Go figures

Edit: before this degenarates into an off-topic discussion, let's stop insulting the CIA and in turn, me ;)
 
Immac could you, for example, upgrade a ''guys with tools'' to a ''shaft mine'', skipping the ''open-pit mine'' step? I mean it's still in the same upgrade path, why waste time excavating a great big hole in the ground if you have the tech to dig straight down in shafts?
 
yes ekolite- i see no reason why not.
