"Understood. Remember that those protecting the Emperor will not listen to reason like regular soldiers from the lower floor. There's only one way you can get to the throne room. Julius, Fyra, good luck." And so the General and hired mages remained on guard whilst all others climbed through the staircases and wide galleries...
Few minutes earlier in the throne room of Emperor Troy VII...
A heavily armored man arrived in the chamber, approaching a distiguished mage that was setting up some weird magicks.
"Magister Roy, I am here, what is the situation?" "I have been in contact with Commander Aserbaena... from what she spies upon our foes, they have just murdered Bishop Roshard and that Manna Divola. Here, Rouen, take this... and this, and that one too." Magister began adorning the imperial bodyguard in ton of jewellery.
"Magister, not that I complain, but this is an impressive amount of magical jewellery you have prepared..." "Yes, but that is a necessity at the moment. It seems that our rebels fight as a close-knit group bound less by goals and more by... friendship. As weird as it might sound, it seem that Palatial Garrison is no match for them." "And you think we can overcome them by sufficiently empowering ourselves with magical items?" "Perhaps... I hope so. Just in case, I also brought a supply of these along with my finest staffmeisters." Magister waved his hand toward middle-aged men, all preparing blood-red staves for use.
"Nine of them? Isn't that a little bit excessive-""Excuse me." A non-descript man in unimpressive robe approached the two.
"I do not remember giving an authorization to deploy that many ailment staves at once. As the head of the Dragon Cult, I must protest this blatant breach of established protocol." "Apologies, Archbishop, but these are times of emergency. I will fill out the proper paperwork later. May we have these blessed by the Dragon?" The stoic man let out a sigh.
"May the Dragon's fury infused into these ailment staves wreck havoc and bring downfall of our enemies." "Thank you- ah." "What is it, Magister?" "T-the magical link I had established between me and Commander Aserbaena has broken. I'm afraid she might've been killed. The rebels are on their way here!" "Curses! It's time for me to go and prepare our brave stand against them. Good luck to you." "And to you. May the rebels cover in fear at your might!" The purple-haired guard nodded to both Magister and the Archbishop, and then left.
"...so, Archbishop. How is he?" "The emperor? I'm afraid that there is nothing more I can do. That ill growth began to overtake his organs. He is dying. The only medicine I give him now is basically painkillers so at least he can be at peace for a brief while... if he somehow survives today, he will be dead before next month." "First the death of his heir, then the illness, and now the civil war and this rebel raid... I fear that a dark age is coming to our Empire.""Archbishop..." A weak grunt came from behind the two.
"I'm coming, your Majesty."---
Commander and Fyra ran up another set of stairs.
"Once we clear this corner, we will be at the top floor, and there- ah!" "Palatial guard - AIM!!"~~Player Turn 1~~
