Turn 23a : Lore
Meanwhile in Vam, capital city of the kingdom of Fordania.
Adventurer Guild Reunion Room :
Today, a whole emergency reunion was requested by the Guild Representative, the person at the head of the Adventurer Guild.
The present persons were unusual. The Militia Captain of Vam, the Grand General of Fordania and many other important representatives were seated around the vast table of the simple reunion room.
The Guild Representative, a red-headed woman with piercing green eyes answered immediately :
"Dear military leaders, fellow adventurers. We are gathering today to speak of an important issue threatening the security of the whole kingdom. As you all know, reports of absurdly powerful monsters have risen at an alarming rate the past few months."
An adventurer rose his hand, and the Guild Representative nodded at him :
"Guild Representative, is it related to the rumor of "evolving monsters" ?"
A sudden murmur agitated the whole room. "Evolving Monsters", extremely rare creatures blessed with the power to evolve and transform into stronger monsters at alarming rate. While a normal monster would grow slowly in the course of its long life, these monsters could somehow evolve and transform in a matter of months or weeks instead of years.
They were usually really rare, in part thanks to the competition between monsters and the scarcity of such a power.
But recent sighting suggested that the number of these "evolving monsters" increased dramatically for no logical reason.
"It is" answered with a grave tone the Guild Representative.
The agitation immediately increased. The red-headed woman slammed her hands with force on the table and shouted :
"SILENCE !"
Everyone shut down instantly.
She resumed her speech.
"As such, we increased the number of extermination expeditions all around the kingdom. Results were at first promising, but in the end we couldn't keep up with the non-stopping increase of powerful monsters. That's why the Grand General is here."
A man of great stature rose from his chair, sporting a noble beard and an impressive armor.
"The Royal Army and the Adventurer Guild decided to join force, and launch full scale assault all around the kingdom to get rid of this threat. At the same time, we will keep investigating to see if we can find some clue about the rumored "Evolving Monsters". For the peace of Fordania."
"May I add something ?" said a small voice in the back.
"Speak up, Archmagus."
An old man stood up, it wore a beautiful and stylish indigo coat, and his white mustache was nicely groomed :
"Magi will be responsible of the investigation. We also recently found out that strong monsters population density dramatically increases around lifeforce nodes. Of course they are not at the source of this crisis, as "Evolving Monsters" were sighted in places devoid of nodes. But destroying them or capturing should at least greatly slow the apparition of these powerful monsters."
"Thank you Archmagus" said the Guild Representative.
The Grand General nodded at an officer. The young man stood up.
"I, Captain Garm will lead the first joint expedition. We will strike at the Eastern border of the kingdom, first targeting the Elon Woods, then we will expand and strike the surrounding zones : the Copper Desert, the Karak Crystal Steppes and finally the Raiao Mountains, called "the Evil Mountains" by the local villagers."
