In which our heroes ...
Someday
We're all at home at some point, except for Kyrik who is "shoeing
his horses". The other four of us get a message from Veriak, "Come
quickly."
So, we gather our gear and head right over.
Arriving at his place, he shows us to a back room with a ritual circle.
He gestures towards it urgently, and we step into the circle. Suddenly,
there is a blinding flash and we are standing in a white gazebo. Oathar
remembers the gazebo. Yup, we're dead again.
An elf with silver robes come up and bows and asks use to accompany him.
He leads us down the garden path and finally we get to an open cleared
picnic area with a bunch of seats facing a podium. There are a number
of people there. We recognize, at least one retired loremaster. And there's
an active one. There are a couple more actives, and several retired ones.
One guy looks fairly familiar, but we're not really sure who he is. We
also notice a guy in realyl ornate black armor. That's probably ancient
Rianne knight styled armor. There's another guy who looks familiar to
the churchy folks, but we can't place him. Perhaps he was in the book
of the moon. Yup, many improtant guests. Alynna also recognizes Saint
Arnold of Cay. Yup, that's him alright. Alynna also identifies the current
church strongman of Cay. (Head of the committee of doctrinal purity.)
After a bit, a really elfy elf comes up to the podium and asks everyone
(in their native language) to please be welcome.
He explains that Orhan and Charon orbit Kulthea every so often there
is a conjunction of the moons. If a conjunction of moons occurs while
both moons are full, Kulthea becomes a battle ground allowing the minions
of Charon to descend. If however, the conjunction occurs while the moons
are new, the essence flow reverses and the minions of Charon can ascend
instead.
Greetings Loremasters, you have been recruited by the Orhanian league,
to defend the frontier against Zatar and the Hordes of Charon.
(Everyone hears their own title.)
Some of us have already been assigned. Others may form your own teams.
We form "The Star Team" and see if anyone wants to join us.
The hordes of Charon are apparently quite vast, so they'll attempt to
channel them into manageable groups for each of us to fight. We can choose
our battleground.
- Charon Invaders
- Charon Missile Command
- Charon Centipiede
- Charon Tempest
- Charon Gauntlet
- etc.
We choose to fight in the battleground of Orhan Fantasy Tactics.
