Slowly but surely the noose was tightening. Supplies were slowly being used up and the ice spiders had circled the Rune Tower. It was almost certain that they had tracked the departure of other party members and cordoned off the area. It would be possible to run, but that would mean failure and they were Kingsmen. Not rescuing the children was simply not an option. It looked like down into the depths of the earth was the only logical path.
ReplyDeleteBesides, it remained yet to be seen who was going to be the bitch in this scenario....
ReplyDeletePaterfamilias,
ReplyDeleteSince you have received this missive I regret to inform you the loyal knight and Kingsman Adfric has fallen in battle against a wicked foe. I have blessed his body and commended his soul to the gods of his worship. Please mention to His Royal Highness the valor with which he fought against the King's enemies.
Unfortunately yet another plot that stands to vex his highness and threaten the realm has arisen here in the north. The Drow of the Underdark, a force not seen for centuries and which indeed was sometimes viewed to be fantasy, have shown themselves. By their own admission, they are coming to rule the world and make us all serve their evil gods. Somehow they are tied to Zaxian slavers and the missing children.
The plot has extended over areas in the Northlands where entire tribes has been destroyed or enslaved. Frankly, the utmost care and expenditure in diplomatic efforts will be necessary to support the North and to protect the South from infiltration. We are in a precarious time and cannot underestimate the magnitude of the threat.
Your humble Servant,
ReplyDeletePhelan Duncan, Seneschal Seawatch
Long Live the King!
