 - Oh, that is easy to explain. Materialise a meal as you want it for yourself - meat, drinks, anyhing you like. It works the same way with plates, forks and spoons, by the way. Go ahead.

Your whole company enters and sits down on the foor to see your training. Rare sight.

Collect the documents to hire mercenaries leaving the payment section blank. Head for the biggest town on the wilds border.

Get the radio for my vehicle.

Focus on the idea of a . Flat at the bottom with curved edges. Baked Clay. Keep the idea as I focus magic into my hand

Do the same but think of hot of potato soup, but this time keep the palm of your hand over the bowl

Think of a wooden spoon, focus and concentrate the energy into your hand

[4+1] You make yourself a bowl of hot potato soup. Wood and spoon are covered with strange carvings which resemble engravings on the sword.
You feel like if you would ran a marathon. A few drops of sweat appera at your forehead.

 - That's right. Of course when you'll train a bit that would be easier, but I prefer make zombies once and let them do all the job. Besides, I'm a big fan of cooking by hands. My minions brought me a cooking book from one of the caravans, and I decided to cook avery single dish from it.

You get your papers, radio and move out. You drive through the country, somewhere reach and prosperous, somewhere gods-forsaken. You have your maps at your side. You move to a small border settlement situated inside a huge old castle. Yes, the castle is huge enough to hold an entrire settlement inside. Noone from the living ones remembered, who built it. So thу settlement itself is called just The Castle. A dump of outcasts from all over the realm of elves.
Perfect.

Spread the word that I'm looking to hire men who are good at finding things and not being seen. Preferably people who've traveled outside of the elven nation a lot and that I'm offering a large bounty on completion.

(( Basically just tell people in the town that I'm looking for people to go to the orcs, dwarves and dragonborn to carry a message for me and offering a substantial reward upon completion. ))

Entering The Castle Harberad looked around briefly before marching directly into the center of the courtyard where he could see a large gathering of the towns inhabitants, after clearing his throat briefly his voice rang out loudly.

" Greeting citizens of The Castle, I am Colonel Harberad and to cut right to the chase so to speak I'll explain why I'm here.

You are all people who understand the arts of survival, of living in and near the wildlands and not being seen and it is for those skills that I wish to hire as many of you as will join me.
Now to explain what I would have you do, I would have some of those who join me take messages to the dwarves, the dragonborn and the orcs. I know some of them are not well liked but we simply have no choice. The humans are coming and the nobles and generals are obsessed with fighting honorably. It will fail and they will lose, I showed them a better way and they dismissed me and so I'm going to win this god damned war my way without them.

To do so I need to gather warriors of skill and courage, the orcs are mighty and fearless in battle and working with us can do great damage to the humans, the dwarves produce weapons and armors of unmatched quality and quantity they would bring much needed equipment and fire power. The dragonborn are friends to our people and are great warriors and legendary mages.
I would send some of you to an elven nation in the wilds to deliver a message as well, though they may live apart from us they are still our kin and I would have our peoples united in our fight for survival.

Those messages would be to have representatives come to a meeting with me and what would I be doing while I sent you to do this you ask? I go to the forests of the wilds to locate our long sundered kin, those who have cut themselves off from us for so long to mourn the loss of the great queen of our past. Were she alive she would have all of us united, she would have us join forces with those who suffer as we do at the hands of the humans and in her place I aim to unite those peoples.

I will bring those who title themselves the dark elves back into the fold to join with us in driving back this human plague.


Of course I do not ask you to do this for free no I will hire on every one of you who is willing and able, I will sign a contract with you and upon completion of your assigned task you will receive a full years pay equal to that of a professional soldier, whether the task takes you a week or 6 months that pay is yours regardless. If any of you are able to bring representatives of the rulers of other races you will be well rewarded for your efforts.

And so my brothers and sisters you know what I seek, tell your friends, your families and the other residents of this town what I have said and any who wish to take up this task come and speak with me.


(( Does that help? In short I make that speech wherever I find gathering of people and then give them time to spread the news then any who want to accept the offer come to see me. I'm offering a full years pay equal to that of a professional soldier for the task I give them and a bonus if they bring back representatives of the many fairy factions in the wildlands whether they're from a small clan or an entire nation. ))

The uniformed one gives you a look in which you read at once interest and surprise, though that look is a bit clouded with alcohol.

 - Yep. Just got fired from the private guard service. Hey, won't you regale me with a beer to honor our meeting?
"A drink for the good sir, if you would!" Jaster says to a passing waitress. "The name's Jaster. Yours?"

Hop in, I suppose, but make sure that we're all accounted for, and that everything else is, too.

((Wow. I'm impressed. Quite a speech.))
As you speak, more and more gather around you. You are speaking further, and they listen. As you finish your speech, they... just starting to walk away. You look at their faces trying to understand - why? Why noone cares about the world that once was theirs? IN their sights you read... sorrow and despair, though you see that deeply inside they agree with you. But now, you seem to touch their old wounds, and they are in pain. Maybe shortly after, they will be more confident. Wait till evening.

For now, you see a small man approaching you. His face is thin and brings traces of sleepless nights on it. His face expresses a mixture of exhaustion and boredom at once.
 - You need to send message - I can do that if you pay. Delivery to any place where the roads can lead. Payment is Aeron per each 5 miles of way.

Rolepgeek
When a beer mug arrives, he sips a little.
 - Aaaah, that's nice. My name is Jaster, too! What a luck, eh?
He makes another sip. He seems to lose interest to you, but since he is in good mood now, you guess he'll answer some questions about local life and world news.

Since noone is against, you allow that guy to jump in. Time to talk a bit to understand who are you both, eh? You have a long road to ride.

Waiting until dark Harberad wanders the town talking to those he had delivered his speech to.

"You all know the truth now, you know in your hearts that I am right. Who amongst you has the courage to stand up and make this world a better place for there family and those they love?

(( How many miles do the Dwarven capital, Elven independent nation, Orc capital and Dragonborn capital? ))

((Orcs do not have a state structure, they live in clans, sometime having a mess among themselves. You need to have another map, made by local wildland folks, to define location of independent elven state. There is about 2.000 miles to Dwarven capital, 14.000 miles to Dragonborn capital.))

A bunch of dwarves, a few elves and a single dragonborn answer your desperate call. Though they are small in numbers, but they share your idea entirely and say they'll fight for idea, not money. Somehow like that.

Send a dwarf to the capital to request a representative for a summit.
Send an elf to the independent nation to do the same.
Send an elf to the dragonborn to do the same.
Send the dragonborn to go to every possible orc clan to do the same.

Also have them contact every mercenary company they can find and send them to me.


I wait in the border town for the representatives of the clans and nations to arrive and for the mercenaries.
