DESTROYERBILL: i just woke up
Smon: GM: 16/3/4447 - the ruined city of Nera, where the Altanian clans are gathering for the Clan Moot.
DESTROYERBILL: yep
Smon: 6pm, and the guests are gathering in the Great Hall of the Imperial Palace for the wedding of Chief Minars Rapak of Seawolf and his princess Holli Doomfire of the Nerathi.
DESTROYERBILL:

Smon: LOL
DESTROYERBILL: z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
chris107: (We'll get to killing soon, Bill. That will wake you up )
Smon: Hakeem is with his fellow Greywolf leaders in the Great Hall, Dyson Logos the dragon occupying a large chunk of it.
Smon: Word comes that Sarene the Pirate and Shieldbiter the Dragonborn have arrived at Nera!
DESTROYERBILL: its not the weading its i just woke up like 10 min ago
Smon: GM: Shieldbiter you & Sarene dock at the ancient docks of Nera, then make your way to the Palace.
chris107: Hakeem raises an eyebrow Roger Moore style at this news.
Smon: Shieldbiter lands Wyvern on the docks. Leaving your pirates & dragonborn outside with the public throng you enter the palace w Helga & Sarene's deputy.
Smon: Amongst the crowd you see mighty Hakeem, near Kaag Greywolf and Laara Greywolf the Psychic Defender, also Hakeem's mother Gnubis.
DESTROYERBILL: hello
Smon: Sarene: "Better face the music..." she whispers to Shieldbiter.
chris107: "Hello, Shieldbiter. How are you?"
Smon: Sarene: "Hi Hakeem! Great news!" She smiles & waves.
DESTROYERBILL: good
DESTROYERBILL: diddnt get much sleep on the boat so im tired
chris107: "Hi Sarene, great to see you. Looking well girl." He winks.
Smon: Sarene grins jauntily. "Baroness Sarene if you please!"
chris107: "Plenty of time to sleep after the wedding."
DESTROYERBILL: i got neww armer
chris107: "Baroness? My you have come up in the world."
chris107: Hakeem admires the splendid new armour. "Adamantine?"
Smon: Sarene: "And this is Count Shieldbiter."
DESTROYERBILL: +1 admantine half plate
DESTROYERBILL: yep
chris107: "Very smart."
Smon: Sarene: "We have secured Ahyf for your empire, Lord Hakeem."
DESTROYERBILL: look at my magical adamantime armor
chris107: "Well it seems like you two are doing well for yourselves."
chris107: "Wow. Thanks."
Smon: Sarene: "Yes, we thought it good."
Smon: She looks to Shieldbiter.
chris107: "Have you brought the ashes with you?"
DESTROYERBILL: helga now has +1 plate
DESTROYERBILL: what ashes
Smon: "Ashes? The Ruling Council have been ...eliminated."
chris107: "Lady Helga. You look fine and well in your new armour too."
Smon: Helga: "Thank you milord!"
DESTROYERBILL: yeah the coiuncel is dead bt not ashes
chris107: "Well with both you and Sarene..erm Baroness Sarene let loose I doubt there is much left but ashes?"
Smon: Hakeem you recognise Helga's shiny +1 plate as that of Warlord Briaron.
Smon: Sarene: "Oh no! We were very kind."
chris107: "Looks much better on you Helga."
Smon: "All the Council families, Briaron & his family, were allowed to go into exile."
Smon: "Father Camus is safe."
chris107: "Exile? You're slipping Sarene."
DESTROYERBILL: yeah we only killed the ones who foaghet back
Smon: "All who surrendered were spared.... We did it for you, Lord Hakeem."
chris107: "I'm glad. Father Camus helped Shildbiter and i on my last visit."
DESTROYERBILL: yeah
DESTROYERBILL: well no one likes somone killing the preist sooo
chris107: "And I am proud of you both!" He gives them both a big hug for their splendid work.
Smon: Sarene looks surprised at the hug. "Oof!" she smiles.
chris107: "Too long had Ayhf been a stain on the Ghinarian Coast. Now we are united!"
DESTROYERBILL: thaks
Smon: "We have raised soldiers from Ahyf to help the war - Steelclaw is with them at Cahli."
Smon: Sarene: "Our thoughts exactly!"
chris107: "This is excellent news. The Warbringer will be on us soon enough."
Smon: "After we beat Nerath we thought we'd deal with those nasty pirates down south..."
DESTROYERBILL: we suford no losses but a few woinded
chris107: "But today you have arrived at an auspicious time. For Minar's Rapak is to marry Hollie Doomfire within the hour!"
chris107: "I am overjoyed that you suffered no losses."
DESTROYERBILL: doomfire?
chris107: Hakeem does look interested in the idea of destroying the pirates down south.
Smon: Sarene looks relieved that Hakeem has taken the news so well.
chris107: "Aye, Shieldbiter. The Old Snakes daughter. She aided us, well saved us really when we faught with the Gnomes."
DESTROYERBILL: dragonborn are not allowed to say that word becouse it destroyed are empire
DESTROYERBILL: i do not dout she is kind
chris107: Hakeem apologises. He did not know of this custom.
DESTROYERBILL: but i will never speak her last name again
Smon: You see Chief Minars enter the hall with Ernsorn Blue, resplendent in his white wolf-cloak.
Smon: Then Altanian horns sound and the fair Holli enters, escorted by Altanian soldiers, in a white silk dress, veiled but revealing in the Altani fashion.
Smon: Ernsorn Blue: "Dear friends, we are gathered together today to witness the marriage..."
Smon: He's using Nerathi stylings, the assembled Altani listen with interest.
chris107: Hakeem too...
DESTROYERBILL: ready actoin close ears when it comes to holli last name
chris107: He watches Anna Bronze with interest too.
Smon: "...Of Chief Minars Rapak, War-Chief of the Altani, and the Princess Holli of Nerath..."
Smon: Lady Bronze is watching with studied interest.
Smon: "Do you, Minars, take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?"
Smon: "I do."
Smon: Do you, Holli, take this man to be your lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold, to honour and obey, till death do you part?"
Smon: Holli's small voice is quiet in the great hall, but determined: "I do"
Smon: "I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the Bride."
chris107: "Yay!"
Smon: Minars raises Holli's veil and kisses his wife.
Smon: The crowd cheer enthusiastically.
Smon: Minars first wife Lina and daughter Valyara look on scowling & silent.
Smon: Minars: "And now - LET US FEAST!!!"
chris107: "Yay!"
Smon: GM: The crowd breaks up to go outside, where a great feast is being brought forth.
chris107: (Hakeem wonders when Minars will make his big speach but is pleased that his friend has found genuine happiness with Hollie.)
chris107: (He still goes steady on the booze though, got to keep in shape if you're going to fight a Demi-God)
Smon: GM: The assembled barbarians feast. Sandor & Laurana seem to have made themselves scarce.
chris107: surprise-surprise
DESTROYERBILL: i drink and eat and party
Smon: Towards midnight Anna Bronze approaches Hakeem and suggests he encourage Minars get on with announcing the new empire.
Smon: Anna: "...Before he gets too ...inebriated."
Smon: Shieldbiter teaches Dragonborn dancing to the Altanians.
chris107: Hakeem does so.
chris107: hehe
chris107: That would be a sight to see!
DESTROYERBILL: a step to the right a step to the left jump
DESTROYERBILL: jump then partner flips you while in the air
DESTROYERBILL: you then backflip on to your partners sholders
chris107: "Minars, Ernsorn, the news. Time to tell our people."
chris107: Hakeem is much impressed with the dancing.
Smon: Sarene seems to be a natural at Dragonborn dancing, spinning through the air.
Smon: Most of the Altani tend to end up in drunken heaps.
DESTROYERBILL: then you do a human wheel then start over and tats the most baisc thing in the book
Smon: Minars looks up from cuddling his bride. "News? The new empire?"
chris107: Sarene has always been impressive. (Hakeem would probably have married her if he hadn't met Malenn.)
Smon: CG Hakeem w CE Sarene?
chris107: "Yes, my friend. It is time."
Smon: Minars nods, lurches to his feet. "SILENCE! IT IS TIME!"
chris107: No one said it wouldn't have been an interesting marriage
Smon: The crowd hushes.
chris107: Hakeem stands at his side.
Smon: Shieldbiter backflips, lands on his feet.
DESTROYERBILL: go on
Smon: Minars: "Today in this place we declare a new Kingdom!"
Smon: "Altani and Nerathi joined, just as I have joined my love today!"
Smon: Holli smiles bashfully.
Smon: "The Empire of Altan-Nerath!"
chris107:
Smon: Many still expect Minars to declare himself King.
Smon: Minars: "I have spoken with the Exarch of Bondor, mighty Hakeem, without whom our great victories would have been impossible."
DESTROYERBILL: back flip twice
Smon: "Hakeem's son Hassan will wed Lady Eratha of Hera, to join our peoples again, as it was in the Old Days. One day they will rule as King and Queen. For now, Lord Hakeem shall be King Regent of Altan-Nerath! Bondor!"
Smon: "BONDOR!" yell the happy but started crowd.
Smon: Sarene follows Shieldbiter's backflip.
chris107: "BONDORR!"
chris107: Hakeem draws the sword of his God and holds it aloft, crackling with electrical energy. "BONDORR- BONDORR!"
Smon: Minars takes Hakeem's left hand and raises it, leaving his sword hand free to raise the Sword of Bondor.
Smon: The Altanians scream deliriously.
Smon: "BONDORR! BONDORR! BONDOR!"
Smon: Lady Anna Bronze smiles with satisfaction and claps.
chris107: Hakeem is happy to join in.
Smon: Minars whispers to Hakeem: "You should say something, old friend."
DESTROYERBILL: a door of bondoor
chris107: He rises his hands to silence the crowds (eventually)
Smon: The crowd stills.
chris107: "My friends." he begins quietly.
chris107: "Today we see history in the making."
DESTROYERBILL: um everday is histery in the making
chris107: "For it will be here, in the seat of ancient Nerath, that two great peoples will be rejoined."
DESTROYERBILL: with the mighty bondor
DESTROYERBILL: raaa
Smon: The crowd look at the tipsy Dragonborn.
chris107: "We have battled long and hard to get here. The worst is still ahead of us."
chris107: "But together we will triumph."
Smon: "Yaaay!"
chris107: "Together we shalldestroy the Black Sun."
Smon: "Yaay!"
DESTROYERBILL: raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
DESTROYERBILL: and stuuf
chris107: "I shall destroy the Warbringer."
Smon: "Yaay! BONDORR!! BONDORR!!""
DESTROYERBILL: well good luck
chris107: "And together we will build an empire that will last a thousand years."
Smon: Minars claps a fatherly hand on Hakeem's shoulder.
chris107: "FOR WE ARE HEROES!"
DESTROYERBILL: so not a thousand and 1 years
Smon: Anna claps loudly at the Thousand Year Empire.
Smon: "BONDORR! BONDORR!"
chris107: He knows when to leave them to it. Let the party continue far into the night
DESTROYERBILL: so ints not goin to last a single second after a thousened year empire
Smon: The crowd applaud enthusiastically, apparently all enmity to Nerath forgotten.
Smon: Minars Rapak smiles with satisfaction.
chris107: It may not even get started Bill. There is still the little matter of Kainos and the knights of Neo-Nerath to take into account.
Smon: He talks quietly to Hakeem as the applause dies down and the crowd return to feasting.
chris107: But you got to tell the people something that they can latch onto.
DESTROYERBILL: i know
Smon: "Well done, friend. They will follow you. I hope the Nerathi will do the same ...?"
Smon: Anna: "But of course, Chief Minars."
chris107: "Thank you, Minars."
chris107: "Thank you, Anna."
DESTROYERBILL: war cheif
chris107: "We have much to set in motion now that the declaration has been made. And little time before war is upon us."
Smon: Sarene: "So, looks great! Did I mention Shieldbiter here is now Count of the North? Clear Meadows, Ahyf, and Trade."
chris107: "I rely on you Anna to get this news back to your family."
chris107: "I am pleased for you my friend. I hope we can count on your support in the forthcoming war?"
Smon: Anna nods. "I'll need an escort back to Hara."
DESTROYERBILL: yep
Smon: Sarene: "As Baroness of Ahyf I pledge allegiance to the new Empire!"
chris107: "Of course. Perhaps Prince Sandor and Lord Dyson along with an honour guard?"
DESTROYERBILL: ill wach you battle and kill the war bringer
chris107: "Thank you Sarene."
Smon: Anna nods, glancing over to where Dyson is draining vats of mead dry. "Thank you, Regent Hakeem."
chris107: "Thanks Count Shieldbiter."
DESTROYERBILL: your welcome
chris107: "I guess we should go speak with the mighty Dyson? See what he thinks."
Smon: Anna: "Are you coming with us Hakeem? The Warbringer may not be long, we could use you with us."
Smon: Dyson the Gargantuan brass dragon looks up from his feast. "Hello Shieldbiter! Looking good young man."
chris107: "I have Clanmoot business to attend to Lady Anna. But I will be with you very soon."
chris107:
Smon: The dragon belches a vast ale-fumed cloud. "Sorry."
DESTROYERBILL: hello
Smon: Anna nods. "I see. Thank you milord."
Smon: The star gem shines brightly in Dyson's chest. "Your brother Drakonok is a very fine fellow!" he says in Draconic.
chris107: "I guess you heard, Dyson?"
DESTROYERBILL: thanks
Smon: Dyson nods. "I heard the speeches."
Smon: Shieldbiter is talking in Draconic.
Smon: (Ingrid coming v soon)
chris107: "And what do you think? It was you and Erathis who lit the fires all those years ago after all."
chris107: (Okay, we stopping soon then?)
Smon: Dyson: "Well, all seems fair enough I suppose. These Black Sun seem bad fellows. I'd like to see Nera restored."
Smon: He seems a bit uncertain.
chris107: "You are troubled?"
Smon: (yes better stop when she arrives)
DESTROYERBILL: but not yet
Smon: Dyson: "It's all a lot to take in... I was sleeping a long time."
chris107: (No probs, another step closer to the climax)
Smon: "I hope... I hope the empire will be a true partnership of equals."
chris107: "Peace between Nerathi and Altan. Nerath restored. Evil Necromancers foiled. A great empire born..."
Smon: He glances over at the slender girl Holli in the arms of her massive husband Chief Minars.
DESTROYERBILL: Dyson dont be woried in Draconic
chris107: "That is my hope too Lord Dyson."
Smon: CHA check Shieldb
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 2, (+5) = 7
Smon: (no effect)
chris107: "I want Eratha and Hassan to inherit an empire worth rulling. An empire fair to all it's citizens."
Smon: Dyson nods. "Perhaps I will need to stay around a while, make sure everything is on the right course."
chris107: "And I will work hard to give them that."
Smon: Anna nods, touching hand to Dyson's brassy scales.
Smon: Anna: "We all want the same thing Lord Dyson. We can trust Hakeem."
chris107: "I would appreciate your staying around gratly!" Hakeem is genuinely happy at this news
Smon: Hakeem roll WIS check
chris107 rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 16, (+6) = 22
Smon: Hakeem suspects Dyson wants to stick around at least partly to keep an eye on Hakeem & balance him out in the new empire.
Smon: Dyson: "Yes... We must work together, you and I."
chris107: Hakeem has no problems with that
chris107: He really does want to build a land fit for heroes.
DESTROYERBILL: my new armor prevets crits
chris107: It is very kewl armour Bill.
Smon: Anna: "Your armour is VERY fine Lord Shieldbiter!"
DESTROYERBILL: thanks
chris107: Espcially at this level where Crits are very nasty!
Smon: Anna: "Was that the armour of the Captain of Ahyf's guard? I recall when it was forged."
DESTROYERBILL: yes
Smon: Sarene nods. "Steelclaw took it off him."
chris107: "And now Ahyf has a proper leader!"
Smon: Anna: "Is ...Calpurnia... Warlord Briaron's wife ....?"
Smon: Sarene: "Calpurnia lives. Briaron too."
Smon: Sarene: "Yes! There'll be great changes in Ahyf!" She grins.
chris107: "Imperial navies need admirals..."
Smon: Sarene: "Yes! We're going to build a fleet."
chris107: "There are a lot of pirates out there you know?"
Smon: "Take out all those nasty pirate bases down to the Fingers of Oricha."
Smon: Sarene grins. "The Blackarrow, then the Amiodel Elves at Ludgates..."
Smon: "Maybe even go north, deal with the Skandiks at Ossary. Helga could be Queen of Ossary!"
Smon: Helga blushes. "Lady Sarene, 'tis but a fancy..."
chris107: "An imperial admiral would have her work cut out for many years. And would no doubt grow horridly rich..."
Smon: Sarene salutes jauntily.
chris107:
Smon: "Vast wealth, for me, my Count and my King-Regent!"
DESTROYERBILL: well thats y plan take the pirats storm the kingdom but will need your hellp hakeem afer this war ringer shananagins is over
chris107: "So, Count Shieldbiter. What are your plans for your new realm?"
Smon: Anna: "There is certainly much ...good... work to do."
DESTROYERBILL: expand in to pirat bases kinddoms all that stuff
chris107: (I fear Hakeems adventuring days will be over with the fall of Kainos, Bill. It will be up to the rest of you to take things forward.)
chris107: (Prince-Regents have a lot of stuff to do.)
DESTROYERBILL: why?
Smon: Anna: "Even a Prince-Regent will need advisers my lord..."
chris107: (He has an empire to build, lots of dull parties and letter writing. No time for fun )
Smon: "I'm sure my brother would be happy to stand vassal in your stead while you brought the light of justice to the benighted corners of the earth."
Smon: OOC I'm assuming Hakeem said something similar IC
chris107: "I will indeed, Anna Bronze." He smiles warmly at her (secretly thinking her mother will make a fine advisor )
chris107: OOC - no he keeps it under his hat. Lord Bronze is a scoundral!)
Smon:
Smon: Hakeem can make WIS check
chris107: Hakeem has every intention of building something great.
chris107 rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 7, (+6) = 13
Smon: GM: Despite her reference to Namelin, it seems clear Anna would like a position as a vizier in Hakeem's court.
chris107: OOC -If Ursa survives the war he will be a great fun PC. If not, perhaps Simon will let me bring in another PC to fill Hakeem's adventuring roll?
Smon: Yeah sure either is good.
chris107: OOC Anna seems capable, even though the Bronzes switched sides. I thinkl she would make a fine advisor. But her mother would be extraordinary!
Smon: OOC Chris do you OOC want to retire Hakeem after the war?
Smon: Indeed yes
chris107: OOC - at least until the empire stuff is safe Simon. I'd like to get him to 20 though
Smon: GM: The drinking and feasting goes on long into the night.
chris107: As you mentiuoned, Altani retain their verility long into their 60's. He has time to adventure when Hassan takes the throne in his own right. And it will be fun doing diplomatic stuff with him
Smon: GM: OK will stop there for now
