Back in the Stronghold....

The Guardian was walking up the hall, to the throne of the Warlord, two levels below the empty throne of the king.

The Guardian stopped a few meter away from the newly appoinetet warlord and said "Milord, I bring news, (fills warlord Fingon in), and you should also know that they are few in number, but they seems brave to me" the warlord thought for a while, then he said "offer them protection in Encelon, and our freindship, tell them also that the can have a quater of the city to live in" "Yes milord" the guardian said and left for teh place were he last met Gab (I presume that he still have his night vision goggles)

The Intelligence Master's eyes glow with the information he has learned.

He scribbles into his bark-pad quickly and hands it to an aid, ordering him back to Stronkholt.

A few days later the High Sorceror T'naga, placed into power after the capture of Lord Moogie, reads the report with a troubled look on his face.

"Human...in appearance. Technological abilities...far surpassing all other races. W.U.N.F...Unknown acronym. Claims ignorance of current world status."

Sighing, with the report permanently memorized in his mind, he says a word and moves his hand in a quick pattern...causing the document to burn to a crisp in his hand.

The last words of the document are, however, crystal clear in his mind...

Suggest actions: Continued offensive and defensive troop buildup. Remember, Lord, Humans can be trusted in only one thing: War and destruction.

The Faktrie has been completed. More information forthcoming.

Crystal Shielding research has been completed. More information forthcoming.

Later during the night, the spotter who went to go increase the efficiency of the sniper spotted the guardian who had come earlier, travelling through the valleys

The sniper held his fire, and the scout went to go inform Gab

''Sir, the guardian that saved the child earlier is heading in our direction sir'' the scout said as he stepped into the cave

''Hmmmm.... Perhaps he has returned with news regarding what may be an alliance with us and his people'' Gab said hopefully

Soon, using the N.V.G, the guardian entered the cave that Gab was in

''Aaah... welcome back... you are brave to come to and go through these mountains, that have so recently been over run with goblins... at least you're still wearing those N.V.G... so what of the alliance you proprosed?'' Gab asked

''Aaah... my proposition for an alliance went better than I thought... Lord Fingon offers that you and you're people come and live in Encelon... he says he will give a quarter of the city for you're people to live in'' the guardian replied

...

''An enticing offer indeed... but a quarter of the city? If Encelon is as half as majestic and large as it used to be, then surely we don't require an entire quarter of the city?... also as you can see... me and my people intend to remain hidden for as long as possible and this location is perfect for a hiding spot...'' Gab replied

''Indeed... but this hiding spot lacks somethings that very few locations have... something that scares off intruders yet does not give away you're existence... in Encelon you could remain hidden in total safety of being discovered and still no one will even know you exist... unless of course Encelon is destroyed again but if that happens then you're all dead anyway. The only thing is that I may have to ask Lord Fingon if he will accept such a thing...'' the guardian replied with a cunning smile upon his face

''Aaaah... you are thinking like one of us now I see... perhaps you should be my second in command'' Gab said with a smile

''We will sneak into Encelon via the west entrance where you saved the girl, once there we will rendevouz with Lord Fingon from where he will lead my men to an secret outpost of some sort, after which he will provide housing for my villagers... of course all this assumes that Lord Fingon agrees, so what will happen is that first you will approach the entrance with all my villagers with you... it has already been decided that they will be let into the city... but whilst my villagers are causing an distraction at the western gate and blocking the view of the guards, me and my men will sneak into their positions, a few hours later, Fingons war turtel will leave the city for the shecduled routine patrol by the west entrance... whilst that mammoth beast is moving my men will sneak under and past the guards... then we will be in the city and Lord Fingon can rendezvou with us...'' Gab said with a scheming look on his face whilst he was calculated the time the casually moving turtle will be in the correct position

''Very well... I will start heading for Encelon shortly... but I cannot guarantuee Fingon will agree with this'' the guadian said

''Hmmmm... the only problem is that two of my scouts are gone... they will return shortly in 1 post... and will be able to figure out wev'e left shortly after that... I'll just have to leave them a note...'' Gab said

The note reads in English ie: not the common tounge... it is also set like the camo on the holes and can only be seen in a special infa:

-------------------------------------------------------

Wev'e all gone to a ''hell'' because a little freind of mine invited us... just make sure to watch the city and keep hidden... you've got free mister delivery so don't worry about supplies... of course it's not going to be dropped on the porch and there isn't going to be any knocking but if you scouts don't spot the service then you don't deserve to eat anyway...

-------------------------------------------------------

The only writing that was written in such a manner so as to be normally viewable was: modify the infa to setting 3b to view the letter

That part of the letter was still in English and of course the whole letter is in a pitch black cavern...

''Er... good... one thing though.... what's rendevou mean?'' the guardian asked

''Oh... that's French but it's used in English as well. Of course you wouldn't know however seeing as how these languages don't exist in you're world...'' Gab replied

And with that the guardian went on his way and the operation began...

The guardian returned from within tge western gate at 12:00 as planned

''Lord Fingon agress... Why the hell are we doing this at midnight on the dot? it's night ealier to you know'' The guardian said grumpily

'' Reaction times are at the lowest at 12:00, now you know the plan... please continue...'' a voice out of nowhere replied

The men were in already position as according to the first phase of the plan and now the second phase of the plan was coming into place...

The guardian sighed drealirly and went to resume o signalaling to the guards that Lord Fingons turtle was coming through whilst he pointed in that direction

Thud...Thud... Slowly Lord Fingons turtle came plodding into view... it turned to face the gate and continued to moving forward... slowly...

''Now!'' Came a harsh wisper...

Soon after several men ducked under the turtle and crawled to the other side of the gate...

One of the mercenaries upon the turtle and shouted out to the gate gaurds that is was alright to close the gate...

However the plodding of the turtle made it his first shout inaudible and a brief show of shouting occurred between the mercenary and the guards so as to compensate for the noise of the turtle among other things... during these few seconds the W.U.N.F men came out from under the turtle and ducked behind the walls... they stepped into small corners to watch for people... there were none and the W.U.N.F men ran behind a house and then stopped to check for more people... two people were crossing the street... once they passed by the W.U.N.F men ran across the road and into the alley on the other side... they went through the alley and into a deserted guarden where they most of them went and hid behind solid chairs and walls whilst the N.V.G infantry hid inside bushes

There they lay waiting for Lord Fingon...

)Hmmmm... perhaps they should be improved regulars because they are so experienced... and of course they have fancy pancy dwemer armor and swords:D

Anyways im assuming Lord Fingon agrees to hide my men somewhee as planned, and of course the W.U.N.F have no objections...

Also my scouts are now hidden outside Encelon)

Gab and Lord Fingon fill each other in and finish the arrangements

(OOC Woops! disregards this.... the_sardaukar was planning on making the discussion...)

''By the way Fingon, now that my men are here, you may wan't put them to good use... we may be few in numbers but we've faced horrible odds before... you never know we could rid you of nearby goblins or perhaps even protect you from the orcs if you ever decide to declare you're independence... just consider it a token of our appreciation...'' Gab said

''Perhaps...'' lord Fingon said before turning to leave

before that happened Gab suddenly spoke

''Oh yeah, I almost forgot to ask... we have two scouts hidden in wait outside in Encelon... If it's not much trouble it would be nice if you could send someone to drop some supplies for them for to live off and a message to inform them about what's going on... in return I might as well order to them scout the areas around the two entrances of Encelon to provide an extremely early warning on any attack and even exact info on the approaching army... and don't worry about actually finding them, my scouts will spot the guy you send... Of course they'll need the supplies and messages to do any of this'' Gab said

Lord Fingon replies by telling Gab that he agrees/disagrees to supply the scouts...

Warlord Fingon replies that he agrees, then he says "I would never declare my independence before an rightfull heir can be found, I am a mere Warlord, I have no power to do such things, and I am a faith full viceroy"

Gab donned civilian clothes and then went out to find Fingon... he finds him in the guarden and sneaks behind some trees...

''Fingon...'' Gab called out

Fingon turned his head to look in Gab's direction

''Is this neccesary to speak to me?'' Fingon asked with a cynic tone in his voice

''I like to take pre-cautions, there isn't any sense in taking an unwarranted risk no matter how small that risk may be'' Gab replied

''Verywell, what is wish you to speak to me about?'' Fingon asked

''First of all, don't look hear... someone may see you and become suspicious... sorry for such rudeness but...''

''It's fine, im a warlord not a king, so please dispense with the formallities''

''Alright, Listen... I have a man who was meant to get specialist training but unfortunately we now lack the facilities... I intend to send him on a simple mission to get him a little experience after that I would like to lend some of you're special training facilities... his training will take 15 posts but will be well worth it, especially against you're opponents who are unwary of such opposition... of course I will only use some of you're facilities at some times. Finally I have a question. You told me you need to find a king... according to you're guardian, the entire royal blood line was destroyed... so how do you intend to find royalty again?''

Fingon replies by saying...

Gab's villagers have moved into the north-western quadrant of Encelon... and the W.U.N.F group have moved into a secret cellar

Gab orders the man who was supposed to go into spy training to check out the local security forces so as to gain experience... he hasn't any abilities but it's not a difficult mission and should be completed in 1 mission... Gab's scout inside the city will accompany him

Afterwards the scout will map Encelon... this will take 1 post to do but for now he is busy assisting the un-trained man

Gab's ice and flame thrower troopers are trying to find materials to fix their weapons up... this will take ? posts

"Well, the dwemer has two ways of finding a new king, if the old bloodline is broken, the frist is to see who can defeat the ruleing warlord in singel combat while weilding Ringil, the oher way is to find the shine of fire in the depest bowls of the earth"

(OOC you don't have consider this a ''time post''... since it's more a discussion)

... Gab waited a while before saying anything...

''The shrine of fire in the deepest bowels of the Earth? It is it perhaps in Encelon... also do you have Ringil?'' Gab asked in an curious manner

''So in other words, you have to get eventually get killed by another warlords to fulfill you're duty as swordmaster or you basically have to go straight to hell? Gab asked, this time reffering to hell as the bottom of the Earth instead of using it as a nickname for Encelon

(OOC: Augggghhh! I got a link from an old friend and I opened it in this window, losing everything I just typed. No, I didn't figure you would declare your independance, although I'll admit, my Orcs are quite wary of these W.U.N.F characters ;) )

Research for Crystalline Shielding has been completed, resulting in the ability to compress magical crystals into one shard, enabling the wearer the use of an inpenetrable shield for *1* post.

So far, 10 shards have been completed, 5 in the last post, and 5 in this one, and thus 10 High Warriors have been outfitted with the crystals. Thus re-assigning their ranks to Orcish-Elite.

These shielding shards are purchasable at the rate of 1000gp per single unit.

Construction of the Faktrie has been completed, resulting in the creation of Orcish Tanks, great masses of wood and steel, which carry 4 Cannons on 16 wheels, with a staff of 5 Warriors and minimal armor.

Although they are nearly defenseless, they have the firepower to level cities in an extremely short amount of time.

2 such Tanks have been constructed, 1 in the last post, and 1 in this one.

Tanks may e purchased at the rate of 5000gp per Tank. Warriors not included.

Ztraag nods his head slowly, quietly, and scans the area for a way around the image.

T'naga orders his troops into action, sending another league to Encelon with the purposes of seeking out the remaining Goblin presences, assisting the Dwermer with city reconstruction and keeping an eye on Dwermer/W.U.N.F relations.

This troop is comprised of 150 Warriors, 3 High Sorcerors, 20 High Warriors, 5 Orcish-Elite, 30 Cannons and 1 Tank.

Three days later, the force arrives at Encelon.

================================================

Kiter walks up to the elf at the front desk and asks her, "When is the next fight? And are there any postions?" The girl replys, " There is a tournament going on right now. After this tournament, there will be normal fights for awhile. There is a point system, it coutys your wins as 2 points, draws as 1 points, and loosing as 0 points. I'm sure if you waited a little while you could be in that. Then you could sign up for the next tournament."

Ztraag turns back and heads for the fork again, opting to turn down the right path this time.

The Anti-Goblin Attack Force, led by Farrel, has arrived in Encelon.

After talking with Fingon, Farrel splits his forces by three and swarms through the city looking for remaining Goblin presence.

The knight runs up to a shaft with a rope hanging down from the top of it, and he does a back flip to get onto the rope, he is now upside-down on the rope, and he climbs down the rope....

One of the scout's positioned outside Encelon sees the Orcish army advancing to the city

He runs back to inform Gab...

The scouts starts running through the garden, he doesn't immediately spot Gab so he so just speaks to Fingon

''Lord Fingon! is Gab here!'' the scout asks hurriedly

'' Yes, im here. What's on you're mind?'' comes a voice from nowhere...

''Sir! the orcs are approaching this city!?, if they find any of us we will certainly be destroyed!'' the scout replied

''Please excuse me Fingon, this would appear to be a fairly urgent matter.... certain destruction? that old story hey? how many of them are there....?'' Gab asked, still cool and collected

''Sir, there are 150 warriors, 3 sorcerors, 20 heavy warriors, 30 cannons, and also a new type of infantry wev'e yet to hear of and what appears to be almost a crude tank'' the spy replied

''Hmmm... describe this new variety of infantry, and this tank... and how many of these infantry are there?'' Gab asked

''Sir, the new infantry are almost completely covered by what appears to be a new crystaline compound, they also have their crystal shielding like the heavy warriors... the tank appears to be made of wood and metal, and has 4 cannons on it'' the scout explained

''Any idea how many men man this tank?'' Gab asked

''I don't know Sir, of course there must be at least 2 or three but juding by the size, I think that the tank could very well have up to 7 or more men manning it... there only appear to be 5 of the new infantry...'' the scout replied

''Damn, that's one hell of a tank then... and those new infantry are playing around either... we only have about 13 men... if you don't mind, Fingon, I'l like to fight these orcs using my method if they give my people any troubles... of course you have already supplied the villagers with their identifaction and all that right?'' Gab asked

''That's crazy, there are 173 infantry and 41 artillery units... besides even if you do win there are much more of them if you stop this group'' Fingon replied

''You weren't listening, I said use my methods but verywell, if this isn't anything compared to what they have together, then indeed, as usual, discretion is the better part of valor...'' Gab replied

His scout had already sprinted away to retreat into any of the houses in the north western quadrant of Encelon...

Suddenly an Orc over hearing discussion had walked into the garden and checked the bushes and trees...

Gab had simply dissapeared...

As Gab is walking, he spots one of his villagers who informs him of the discovery regarding the flammable contents. Gab thanks the brave villager for searching the area and considers recruiting him to his group after which he orders that as soon as the W.U.N.F are sufficiently safe from being discovered, to repair the flamethrower which will take 1 post after the W.U.N.F are sufficiently safe from being discovered...

(OOC: Yeah...Fingon is my Viceroy, as a matter of fact.)

Ztraag growls deep in his throat and give chase to the Knight, yelling, "Halt Knight! I wish to speak with you!" while charging up defensive spells.

Running back to the Attack Force, the small corporal relates his sighting to his commander, who, in turn, relates the story to Warlord Farrel, the leader of the Anti-Goblin Attack Force.

Walking into the garden, Farrel says in a loud voice, "Greetings, Humans. I an Warlord Farrel of the Orcish Horde. I am sure that by now you have seen our forces, but I assure you, we come with one, and one only intent: To hunt Goblins." clearing his throat, Farrel goes on to say, "However, while we're here, I'd like to offer my hand in open relations between our races."

Suddenly, he hears a rustling in a bush, realizing he still held Shaard, the mighty sword of the Orcs, in an offensive posture, he sheaths the sword.

(OOC: Twin Head or Sneakgab can reply to this as you like, a sudden Goblin attack would be interesting, and an actual, peaceful engagement between the Orcs and Humans would be more than welcome.)

Hrogg turns toward Timili and says, "Well, this is a dead-end. How about we return to your Faction's base and eat some grub?"
