The War on the Frozen Wastes

Tales of the Frozen Lands of Glaciem have been frequent of late, it is said that the village of Congelata near the center of Glaciem has received wave after wave of attacks causing the loss of many soldier and civilian alike. Notices calling all who seek adventure and reward have been sent out to all who are battle born and fueled by the blood of their enemy and sustained by the greed that all men have. Those who respond are offerd great riches and reward for the finding and ending the reason for the sudden aggressive nature of the Glaciem Populus that have since long ago lived in peace with those who dwell in Congelata. So tell me you who have travelled these many leagues for what reason have you ventured into THE FROZEN WASTES!!!  (Fade to black (lol)).

(Adventurers State your reason for this venture and connection to the rest of the party. Are you simply old acquaintances, seasoned adventurers who have banned together for glory and greed, or maybe something deeper. This is your story I am simply its Narrator, so come show me the way so that I may Twist and spin my words to tell the story that shall transcend time and be told through song for years to come and years to pass.)

"Mittens loves cookies.  So of course she was there when the cookie store was robbed.  Nowait, maybe that's not such a good backstory."

The eccentric catgirl seems to be trying to come up with a story to put into her journal.

"Can you guys think of something better than, 'She grew up in the most boring village in the world so she left in search of adventure in order to keep from losing her mind?'"

  Thirst for adventure? a little bit. Runs on blood? That's just impractical.  Greed? Well the way some people react to 'hey can we get paid now that we've saved you all from death', some would say so.  No, he has a much more daunting goal.  Some semblance of professionalism.   Clearly a futile task.

  Kyle checks over his crossbow, and comments to Mittens, "Well, I'm sure yours beats if you were a blacksmith turned hammer wielding adventurer."

Eli had come into the company of these two by way of his parents going missing. Until he finds them, he doesn't really have a home to go back to. But he knows they are alive and refuses to go to an orphanage... he has been to one already and it was worse (and scarier) than being out in the wild.

Normally a passive, withdrawn boy, Eli is immovable on his two tasks of finding his parents and not being taken in by an orphanage.

Eli hugs himself, shivering from the cold. To Mittens, he timidly says, "She grew up in a normal village, but knew that her destiny was greater by far; so she pursued it with outstretched arms and an eager heart that raced almost as fast as her ability to meet danger head-on."

(Ah so a tell of three it will be but what of the forth hmm I wonder who it shall be...... Ahh but I am getting ahead of myself. So Of the three we have a Man with a past not yet revealed whose goals are as shrouded in mystery as the tell that lays before, and to the Kitten that wishes to bear its claws do not forget that though they may be boring those roots are what has absorbed and crafted that which made you into you. As for the child lost and left to wander the path that shall no doubt lead to wanders, woes, fears, hates, and sadness.... Forever look forward and never allow those things that haunt the souls of corrupted and petty men slow your pace to the goal that lay before you. Now shall we begin....)

As the group converses trying to decide to camp or move forward for a bit longer the Sound of Metal clashing Metal Rings in the distance. The Hollow sounds of arrows pricing bodies rings loud in the their ears.

Wavy flows of anime-style tears were cascading down Mittens' frowning face as she shook her fist.

"That was... beautiful, Eli!"

Back to normal, she answers Kyle, "I guess you have a point.  It's notsomuch the backstory as the...  Sounds of combat!  Must investigate!  Wooohaaah!"

She charges in the direction of the sounds.

  Kyle merely has the hair of an anime, not the face or tears of one (Well, unless we're talking the kind with lots of skull exploding punches).

  "Don't run too far ahead Mittens, wouldn't do for you to end up a pincushion before we catch up."  Though he follows as fast as he can without granting combat advantage.

Eli trots up behind. "Discretion, Mittens..." but stays behind the other two. "...careful..."

As the party gathers at the neck of the path the sounds of battle rage on. To the front the can see a horde of goblins assaulting a bridge guarded by some soldiers and a Tall slender female with dark hair and a large axe which she is useing to cutt away at the beasts before they can reach the other side.

Gloria "Come now you weakling hurry it up if we falter hear they will reach the town." she raises her axe and brings it across the first two goblins in range decapitating them both.

To the left a large group of soldiers have begun to push a bolder over the cliff that makes its way across the battle field and into the mass of goblins killing a great many.

(Now adventurers show me your skill, show me you reserve the right to stand at the heart of Glaciem).

The remaining goblins turn in fear to run only to meat the party of adventurers blocking there path.

Mittens HAD drawn her weapon, but upon being insulted, she stows it.

"Ah.  I see that the noble goblins who don't insult visitors are being cut down by the evil home-stealers.  Noble goblins!  You shall not be molested by the heroes you have not picked a fight with!"

She steps aside to make room for the goblins to leave unimpeded and asides to her allies, "How's that for discretion?"

But should the goblins become hostile toward her or her friends...  punches!

  "While I see your point, if manners prevented aid in battle, not many people will help either of us Mittens." Eli is probably save in that regard, at least.

  The artificer fires an acid dripping crossbow bolt up into the closest goblin archer, then buffs Mittens for the inevitable goblin attack that totally would have happened anyways.

"It seems my ally is unconvinced of your nobility!" Mittens hollers, "Do your best to act unconscious, and I assure you no further harm will come to you from us!"

Eli steps forward, pulls open a book and says, "We can't let the goblins continue their assault, but we can't assume these are the same goblins..."

He waves a hand and a huge wave of fire bursts forth! Two of the goblins go down, but they seem magically not burned at all. "...so we'll knock them out instead of killing?"

The Goblin archer covered in acid wails out in furry and sends a bolt at Kyle....."Die human" the bolt rushes past Kyles head the pain from the bolt causing him to cringe as he shoots.

Gob 2 rushes mitts in an attempt to cut her down as he seems to be taking the lightly and perceives them as little threat.The attack is easily dodged.

The second archer launches an attack at the child whom he perceives as most dangerous.

Gob 3 decides to try his luck at the Cat Person but instead runs into his own comrade and tumbles them both over.


The Commander swings and barley misses the goblin as it ducks the strike. "Cursed thing why wont you just die.

"Act unconscious, I said!" Mits hollers, smacking the two goblins with the butt of her weapon.

Out they go.

"And you two!  Shooting in the general direction of a child!  Not noble at ALL!"

Mits starts running up the path.

  Kyle shoots the wounded archer in the leg, dropping them to the ground.  By which we mean the surface of the ledge, not the tall drop onto hard rocks below.

  Eli gets a dose of artificier radiation arcane empowerment thanks to the hit.  "I think some of them are shorter than Eli, maybe they can't tell."
