'By the runes, if it isn't the Drakhirri Lord himself! How fortunate!'
'Yeah, I was kinda getting bored of the whole walk-walk-walk deal...'
'Greetings. I am Liana Crowclaw, and we are seeking your aid.'
'Seeking aid, huh? Well you're not the only one then.
'What do you mean?'
'Me and my men were returning to Drakhelm from our previous assignment, only to find ourselves locked in conflict!' This piece of land was ravaged back in the days of the factions, when they fought over the control of that hill fort like rabid dogs. Even after the unification they left it as is, for a grim memento of dissent.
Of course, the ever so vigilant undead want this piece of land for themselves to help them in their conquest. It's understandable, although it'd hurt my business pretty badly.
Not to say that the imperials would be better! I'm certain that they'd patch up these ruins as an outpost, referring to the 'evil threats'. And probably they'd monitor are actions, or far worse, enlist as in their army. Fighting for free? Can you imagine that? *cackles*
'Okay, I went ahead myself. Now listen, Lady Liana, if you want us so badly, then you and your companions must aid us. Help me get past the ruined fort, that's already drakhirri territory. If we can manage through alive, I may lend you some spare men, for quite a minuscule price.'
'Fine. We might use the withered warmachinery that was left behind. Although we must avoid combat with our own men, if possible.'
'That wouldn't depend on me. You see, this region is pretty heavily attacked in the past few weeks, and some tend to blame us for this. I can't guarantee you a safe pass. After all, you're in leagues with the Drakhirri now. *cackles*
