Alright who's ready for story time?
The first of Slate:
"The nobles demand gold!" The king slams his fist onto the alder table.
"Sir, the area is depleted of all metals! I think gold is the least of our problems!"
"I AM THE KING! AND WHAT I SAY GOES!" The kings face is getting red from massive amounts of yelling.
"But, with the Werewolves, Goblins, and Illithids at our gates and armor and weapons running low what are we supposed to do?"
"We will do just fine under MY rule!"
"But, the peasantry is revolting. The military is running out of recruits and the farms are invaded with that damned magma cult!"
"I know what we will do... Send seven peasants..."

The second of slate
"Sir, you requested us?"
"Why, yes, yes I have. I have decided to make a new outpost for the glory of the Labored Hammers. The locations is 17 or so days away. I recommend you make haste, we have your supplies ready."
"Okay.." said the peasant with a frown on his face.
He was sad... he was leaving his home, the only home he had ever known. He was leaving his friends, his shop, everything he had worked for just because some damned noble says he has to! He knew that it would be gone anyway, their enemies were minutes away, the revolution was growing stronger, famine was spreading. Quite frankly his home was hell...but it was his hell dammit!
Whether he liked it or not he had to flee anyway. Even if the revolution had prevailed he knew it was just a way for it's leader to take the crown, and the cycle would continue until everyone was dead. At least this way maybe he could make a new heaven. Un-corrupted, peaceful, prosperous. At least they had a chance out here, in the wilderness. It was time to set out though, he would take stocks and meet his new companions once they arrived until then he decided to keep his head down and try not to piss anyone off...
If you have any tips or critiques about this please just say so. The next chapter will most likely be tomorrow or the day after that. Thanks for reading!
