The clang of metal played second fiddle to the warsong of battle cries and death screams piercing the final minutes of dusk. The warriors of Veletz and the Horde had stormed the heights of the Aaunish fortress, scattering what palty guards were available before putting the Aaunish king and the Haenser Pontiff to heel. By some strange miracle the two of them accompanied by their sycophants clambered into strange looking water craft, launching them from the heights of the fortress

Grommash awoke from his fanciful dream with a start. His dreams were oftfilled with the mysterious augurs these days, many that demanded the interpretation of the wizened Madoc and Falum. Yet this strange dream left him totally disoriented. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes he turned towards the door. The young Vinteki orcs, Klog and Apek cast aside the curtains of his sleeping chamber, informing him that their warband along with the warriors of Veletz had captured the King of Aaun and the Pontiff.

 

Snorting the Hordepskear rolled from his pile of furs, beginning to bark orders to his various goblin attendants. A letter would be compiled, perhaps it was time for words.

To Haenserex and associated Haensevassals 

 

Grommash writes to you on behalf of the Alliance. We have captured the Aaunrex vassal of Haense, and the Pontiff, also vassal of Haense. I am told by the Velerex and his advisors that these two human lords are very important to the Haense Empire. 

 

You have abandoned your vassals and your allies, for what reason we cannot fathom. Rather than merely slaughtering them, compelling you and your penslaves to write angry letters telling your people about how evil I am, I propose something more interesting.

 

By the Honour of the Velerex and the Hordespeaker the Haense vassals will be spared and held as hostages. The Haenserex, representing his Empire will meet with the Velerex and the Hordespeaker to discuss peace terms.

 

HIS GRACE, Gaspard of the House van Aert, Captain-General of the League of Veletz,the Bull of Middelan, Duke of Middelan, Bannerlord of Velec, Protector of the Midlanders

 

*The Red Hand of Grommash has been pressed to the page, closer inspection would reveal the hand print to be Orcblood.

Ferryman Grisha sat at the gates while awaiting the advance of a Haeseni rescue party. He desired nothing more than an honorable fight. "Here is to hoping they come and try to save their own men. It would be disadvantageous for them to merely ignore this issue and prolong the inevitable."

[Hermit_Jack 513]

"NUB WAE" a large olog booms out as he watches the boat flight.

"Well well well..." Spoke Vyllaenen as he found Sixtus VI in such an oh so familiar predicament. This time however, he deferred to allow others to handle it and instead spent his time wandering the walls around Veletz looking for the men of Haense who likely would never come.

"When one is made anathema, what mercy can the one who damned them ask for?" wondered Jagobert in his deep voice.

"Have you seen this man?" Sir Godric ap Easworth would begin to inquire to Veletz Citizens. He would pin up a notice on the board, as he then begins to handout the notice to citizen's mailboxes.  "They said he jumped out of the sky and disappeared without a trace."

"And then no one came." Hendrik sighed with disappointment and wondered aloud how an alliance like this, built on distrust, could ever sustain itself.

"T'is is fun!!" The young elfess says in a very excited way to all the chaos that has been happening. She would continue to skip around all through Aevos humming a tune.

Margaret polished her sword. She and the Skipper were in a hushed conversation as the hostages tried to negotiate their way out of this.

"Like a human politician wearing Orcish skin," the grim-witted Friar observed dryly. He kept his sword buckled, and hoped there would be a call for battle.

"Church men no rescue. It zayz a lot about da klanz that are der. No loyalty..." called out Klog'Vinteki as he prepared his equipment for a sacrifical ritual.

William Payne watches the everyday life of Veletz from the castle walls "A shame that they will not actually come to fight" The Blackvale veteran sighed "Not very inspirational."

[Pegleg_Bob 184]

Sir Magnus of Winburgh takes a long puff from his cigar as  he would squint at the piece of paper. He would then take the cigar out of his mouth and then throws it on the ground before sighing. "Sthhite man i weaooy need to oeawn to wead" he would saying turning to his fellow druscian "Can sthomeone wead thisth fow me"

"Yub yub great rex!" Apek chanted as he read the missive. He sat in the same room as the captives, immensely bored by the lack of enemies.

Emmelina stood besides Hendrik, letting out a hefty sign "This is worse than Princess Adeline. I mean she's still sitting there."
