Find The Halflings

[Guest Jhonen]

*The cloaked halfling yells to the man*

Aye might peaceful ye be! Callin' yer troops ta answer questions! An' 'ow ye know there be danga' tha' we would face? Tha Vale been mighty peaceful aside from tha troubles ye 'Umans bring 'ere. An' ye only wan' us ta make yer map look bigger an scare tha others by saying ye 'ave all the lands, ye be nothin' bu' bullies an' savages. Considerin' tha ye treat each otha like animals, as me friends tol' me ye did in tha Solace massacre why we expect ye do differen' ta us. Ye claim peace bu' why trust tha giant who ignored us fer so long! They lef' us ta rebuild all by ourselves an' now they wan' ta claim our work fer themselves. They be despicable me friends...

*He moves back into the crowds and walks to the back hiding amongst the rallied halflings*

[Mirtok 2853]

*waits for a lull in the intense chatter of the halfling crowd before saying . . .

Have you not seen the evil that has arisen in our lands? Ye call us bullies and savages but we mean to save ye! The Liches have made it very clear that all will fall in their wake; They target big and small peoples, strong or weak! They mean to end our lives and force us all into servitude! Do ye really think The Vale would be safe from that evil? Do ye think they would listen to your bargaining or reason? I think not! But with the Empire as your shields, The Vale would experience safety for all of you halflings until the end of days.

Our kind has fought, our kind has died, but from the the blood and the ashes came something great! Something that will uplift our kind and yours to the forefront of our potential! Ye do not have to change your lives, we aim to give you the freedom to keep yourselves until Asulon is no more.

*Mirtok pauses for a moment, choked up by the memories he is about to express . . .

The Salvus wars were horrible events; events that I fought in myself! But please know that it was not humans whom fought against them! The Orcs and Alras were the major aggressing forces that meant to end that nation. I successfully brought the removal of Seventis and parts of Renatus from the war by turning them to the light. I came to the aid of the Salvians! I fought for their lives and their safety! My men were slaughtered on a beach protecting people's way of life; something I do not wish to happen to The Vale. I would gladly die for you halflings in order to protect you from the evils that mean to destroy us all. I even gave up my independence williningly; I gave away my "crown" and my rule for the better ment of the Human Race, for the betterment of us all!

Do not condemn our beloved cousins to death, do not squander this offer! The Empire means good for your people. Join The Empire.

*Mirtok pauses and awaits the halfling's response . . .

*An extremely angerd yellying comes from the crowd:*

"Enought!!! Ye 'ave 'erroyised the land o' Maple Port! And what's 'eft is 'nly a bounch of old 'ouses! a 'andom cziti'ent attacked one o' yer bannermens, and then the nether broke out! je didn't show 'he slightest sight o' mercy!

I've 'eard yer voice a 'housand 'imes, and i'll make 'ure! next 'ime I see ya, your 'ongue 'íll be cut off!

I'll NEVARH! 'all yer scumish 'odfrey 'ing! Nor 'et my bother or sister's 'et 'hem do it!

YER 'NLY A GROUP O' BETRAYERS AND TRAITORS"

*The halfling is still standing in the crowd, not careing about the "big and scary" human, breathing like an angry bull*

Faldo finishes up smoking some of Petyr's famous pipeweed and strolls forth to jeer at this pathetic excuse for a man.

Ye say tha' refusal o' these...requests would bring abou' tha destruction an' ruin o' The Vale, but yer occupation o' our fair meadows will resul' in jus' tha same thing! Yer blind! If ye 'ad any sort o' sense in tha large 'ead of yers then ye'd see what an intolerable oaf yer bein'.

The Vale 'as stood peaceful in its quiet slumber away from all this kerfuffle, an' you claim to protec' us from such poppycock as Liches! I ain't never 'eard o' such rubbish! Ye've been 'earin' too many drunken tales in yer filthy taverns an' brothels!

[Lirinya 4021]

*Lorna shakes her head in disbelief*

If yer were t' take control o' th' Vale then be granted it'd being yer nothin' more than farm land.

We waint b' stoppin' to let yer call us yers. Tryin' t' make it out like we aint' got no choice. Surrender to yer or be attacked?

We aint' men and women o' war mister, unlike yer useless mates. All yer's think 'bout is fightin' and blood. A'd rather run 'way wi' what I can carry than call any'un king. Only person I look up ter is he who runs th' Vale. 'E who was Mister Petyr at a time. I'll ne'er call anyun king. Specially not one who tries t' force it on us.

[Mirtok 2853]

*Unhooks his mighty war hammer and holds it tight with both his hands. Mirtok shouts for his soldiers to seize the halflings who insulted his men's sacrifice and the name of the Emporor. As the men advance on the little ones, Mirtok shouts . . .

How dare you ignorant fools discredit the lives I have lost! How dare ye threaten me when I am but the messenger! Good men died on that beach so that people like yourselves won't have to feel the oppression of Orcish rule or the greed that is Alras!

Our terms are just and more than fair; We offer you something that not even our own kind can achieve! What will become of your precious Vale when you are left to your own devices? Will you expel the rising Orcish movements in these lands? Will you fend off the growing darkness that is The Lich?

I assure you all that The Liches are quite real! I heard their bloody voices boom across the human lands! I've seen their undead legions in full march and witnessed the raw power the Lich King exerts! They stormed the human capitol and my men, The Teutonic Order, were on the front lines destroying their progression. Their defeat will only steer them towards smaller targets like The Vale.

If you do not come under us, if you insist on insulting me and my brave men then we will see how well you survive truly on your own! The Orcs will be picking their teeth with your bones and for those who survive that will become servants to the skull faced bastards!

A rider emerges from the forest a tired look on his face, his horse is panting heavily he seems to have ridden day and night, as he closes by

''Hoichmister urgent letter from the Emperor!'' The Emperor speaks If the Halfings Reject the offer, You and your men are to pull back, to Hanstie, and leave the Halfings be, the Emperor doth not wish for bloodshed to innocent folk! Your are to ceases all actions against the Vale and the Halfings in it, for the Emperor gives Peace!

When the ride comes closer to the Hochmeister, he unfolds a scroll that reads.

[Auvreaeath 263]

*Stands leaning against a tree he laughs at the foolish man shouting towards small Halflings threatening them, seeing the rider he believes was sent by Godfrey he mutters a thank you

"Thank you Godfrey, your ears are wonderful to mine voice, I've spent enough time of my life protecting the halflings and even without me they would have made it through this."

*He looks over to the shadowed Halfling in a cloak and gives him a smile

"Good job... For all of you.. "

*He looks down and mutters a few last words

"Good job Graeme.."

[Mirtok 2853]

*Orders his men to release the offending halflings and reads the letter. After such he turns to the crowd of little people and shouts . . .

I am to leave you people be; Oren is to pull out of The Vale and you are to be left to fend for yourselves. May God have mercy on your soul and may the light of Celestia smile upon you in there dark times. I can only imagine the horrors you will all face once you have been truly left alone.

*Mirtok gives the order for his men to load up on the ship stationed off shore. Mirtok is the last leave as he climbs into a dinghy, shaking his head at the crowd of angry halflings. He is rowed back to the boat and upon his arrival the sails are dropped, revealing the black crosses. The ship then begins to catch wind and the Hansetians return to their frozen docks.

[Wavejammers 328]

*Erien lifts his hand from the crowd, looking down in the ground with a smirk on his face*

Hehe... We've survived the orcs in 'undreds o' 'ears. And 'ight now, 'hey ar less 'rouble 'han ye are!

'nd ye want to 'new a fair term?'ET US BE 'ALFLINGS! LET US 'IVE WHERE WE WANT! AND 'ET US DO AS WE WANT TO!

THE "LICH" YE ARE TALKING 'BOUT IS ONLY ATTACKING YE 'CAUSE YE THREATEND THEM! 'HEY WOULD NEVVVVAAARRRHHH 'ARM US PEACEFULL 'ALFLINGS!

YE SAID YE WOULD DIE 'OR US! YE MEAN: "'HEY 'ILL DIE FOR MEH!"

AND 'OW CAN YE 'OAT EVEN SAIL IN 'UR 'IVER AND OUR LAKE!?!?

*Erien begins to shake wildly with his arms, almost acting like a psychopath

((Edit: Wow... So many players are looking at this topic O_O

Rogen returns home wearily after announcement of the human army's retreat.

"Oi I be havin' one bad feelin' about all this..."
