[Comrade P.]

Patrick Hunt
Youк mssangers found [2d6 - 3+2] 5 companies of mercenaries willing to join you. The even found - well, more like he found them - legendary Drekar Nerrakafor, The Sellgun.

Spoiler: A shortage of what is known about him (click to show/hide)

Height: 4'2''
Appearance: Drekar has height and constitution of average dwarf. Here resemblanses end. He is a way thinner then dwarves used to be, and prefers not angular forms in his outfits, but more smooth ones, more like men prefer.
Cool story: He was born in city of Men long before war, and became a mercenary just as he reached adolecence. For that was his lagacy - his father was a mercenary for a whole century before he earned enough to retire. His father was a kind of mercenary everyone adores even now: a brave honorable man, which always completes the job he was originally paid for, and still holding his own honor as high as his reputation.
His son was different from him in all matters. His father prefered hard armor and melee fight - the son prefered doding attacks and guns. Father was conservative - son was liberal. father was a man with his own morale codex - son was an inglorious bastard. However, new century found the son fitting for it's purposes, for he agreed to do some nasty job, that wa the most payable for mercenary. Most of his fame he got for his roughness, brutality and machiavellianism.
Weaponry: He is said to dual-wield custom-made prototype SMGs he purchased for miraculous price directly from dwarven weaponry research center. They are somehow mounted to his arms that he activates them by a specific movement of wrist. Speaking of his hands, his steel gauntlets may be considered like a melee weapon, too.

Mercenary squads:
((Gradation of quality of traning:
Usual - a group of trained men. No war experience, but all needed skills for it.
Experienced - A group of men with combat experience.
Skilled - A group of men experienced multiple battles, that were mostly victorious.
Wardogs - A brotherhood forged in ages of war. Each of them is a legend himself.
Like that.))

Caerwyn
((I presume you have merely accepted a new member to yer party.))

You check the supplies - and remember of that meat and ale you left sealed in barrels in the mountains. for those that lie in the truck are not sufficient, sice your paty has a bit grown.

[UltraValican]

Well I had a deal with you, but I think its for the best I stay here and learn from a master. However, when my apprenticeship here is finished your generosity will certainly not be forgotten.

[Comrade P.]

UtraValican
 - Exactly what I wanted to hear, in fact. Good luck to you, then.
Then, he adresses to necromancer and his crew aloud:
 - Well, gentlemen, we have used hospitality and generosity of this honorable man for a long, so we should now vanish. But may I ak you, o fearsome host, to give us some kind of souvenir?
 - Yeah, sure! - necomancer hits the nearest skeleton so hard that it's skull flies away. Right to Zacharia's hands.
 - Ah... Thank you. Gentlemen, thank our host and let's leave.
So they've left. Necromancer is now finishing his glass of vine.

[Patrick Hunt]

Hire the Nephalem,34, Kywernas and the Sellgun. Send the rest away. Sign the contracts with these companies and the legend.

Ask Sellgun if he knows where or how I can find any other legends and wardogs ranked companies.

(( Lol wow the companies only come in up to 100? How are mercenaries any use in battle lol they're so few they'd get overwhelmed by basically anything. A regiment of old people with rusty knives would be more useful. ))

[UltraValican]

Well, then teacher. I assume you would like this sword back?

[Caerwyn]

Pah, it be too far of a trip. We'll find food along the way. Hop in, and wait for the convenient time-skip to take us to the location.

[Rolepgeek]

((Naw, I just couldn't think fo what to ask him))

"Do you know much about what's been going on about town and such? I'm making my way through the mountains, myself."

[Comrade P.]

Patrick Hunt
((Pfffft. Wars are not fought by mercenaries. Those are hired for particular small operations where regular forces can't take part because the state can find more proper usage for them. Also, I made this classification to clear those things you - there are no actual ranks for mercenary squads, there are only their reputations that are known somehow.))

You explain your plan briefly. You can satisfy demands of Nephalem, Squad 34 and Kywernas by filling the papers you had with proper sums. Sellgun, however, refuses to work without actual cash. His price for taking part is 5000 Golden Hammers (equal to 50000 Aerons). 1000 Golden Hammers as prepayment, evrything else as the buisness is over. Before he sees money - all 50000 Aerons, fifth part of which should be paid for instance, he refuses to tell anything more.

UltraValican
 - You phan pheep iph, if you wanph pho. says youк new master while consuming another piece of bread with ale.

Caerwyn and darkpaladin109
You all hop into the truck, and the engine starts with roar of wounded beast. You ride through the plains and mountain passes of the Dwarven realm. [event roll - 2] All of a sudden, a few bullets whistle near you! Bandits! You quickly look around to see the attacker - they seem to hide in cliffs above you. Any special tactics or just distant shooting each other back? Question is adressed for both of you.

Rolepgeek
 - Ah well, nothing actually worth mentioning: nobles taking bribes, others bribing nobles... Through mountains, you say? You know, I heard someone is gathering mercenaries in the mountains. The Castle, a strange place, that's where they are gathering. A messenger of this guy was skulking around the city recently, seeking for mercenaries. He was heading back from Dwarven Commonwealth. That is all, in short.

[Patrick Hunt]

Agree and tell him I'll get his payment once the summit is done, offer him 500 to stay for the summit and guarantee the 1/5 within a week.

[Rolepgeek]

"Hmmm. Good to know. Thank you. Has there been anything out of the ordinary in the wilds near here? Wouldn't like to be caught off guard by rampaging beasts.

[Comrade P.]

Patrick Hunt
As you make your proposal, Sellgun grins:
 - No idea how are you going to extract money from those deputies they brought to you, but that is not my buisness, right? Give me that.
He grabs the wallet with 500 Aerons.
 - Find me in pubs on this place as you finish.

Rolepgeek
 - Ye know, they say that some undead were seen in the mountain passes. First time since the Great Purgation men done about half a century ago.

[Patrick Hunt]

Gather the deputies for the summit.

(( Btw is it 1 person for all orcs or 1 per clan? ))

[Comrade P.]

Patrick Hunt
They are actually awaiting you in the largest room of local inn - of the fanciest kind locals can provide. They are arguing intensively while they are waiting for you.
[colors will indicate the speakers: blue - elves, brown - dwarves, green - orcs, navy-blue - dragonborn]
- Why should I spent my precious time to meet an unknown person out in wilds out of my realm?
- Shut up, fancy-pants, and stop your whining. You make my ears wilt.
- This time I will be one one side with the earth-digger.
- Hey! Mind your language, filthy blood-drinker!
- Calm down and wait. This is an act of great contempt, of course, but stay above that.[/navy]
You enter.
- Oh. Here he is. Be so kind to explain me why are you so sure you can expose my time by your whim?

[UltraValican]

I guess it'll make an alright replacement for this rusty old blade right here, not that I expect to use it much. Perhaps when I am able to raise the dead myself I'll give it to a corpse.


Wait for him to finish eating before asking the next question

So about magically spawned items. I was able to find this place by "sensing" a sort of draw from the sword, is that characteristic of any items created by magic? Could any person with a potential for magic find another if they got a hold of an item created by a mage?

[Patrick Hunt]

"I'm colonel Halbarad, I called you here because it's time to set our differences apart for the good of all your people's, a few days ago a human sent a messenger to tell me to cancel this or die, I refused. They sent assassin to kill me in my sleep, he murdered innocents and attacked me costing me an arm but I killed him.I was poisoned but I live.

The humans are afraid of what this meeting represents, they're afraid of what we can do if we stand together.


Dragonborn, your people are might in war, might in magic and respected by all as honorable warriors and so I ask you, will you help me fight this war. Will you help me stop what has happened to countless peoples happening again at the hands of this plague.

Elves, you left us to find a new home and I respect that but the Humans want us all dead or enslaved and so I ask you, will you fight with me to save your brothers and to stop this plague before it comes to your home.

Orcs, the Humans seek nothing but to make you extinct as a species. You are mighty warriors courageous and skilled. I ask you, will you join me and help me to exterminate these Humans now before they claim more victims.

Dwarves, The Sellgun has joint me and the quality of your weapons and strength of your warriors are beyond doubt, the Humans seek to use you as slaves to craft weapons for them and so I ask you, join me and help to break them here and now before they come to your home to burn your lands.


These humans fear each of our peoples but if we stand alone they will destroy us 1 by 1. And so I ask you all, will you put aside your hate and stand shoulder to shoulder with me to end this plague once and for all.
