The elder considers Inguz question for a moment before speaking. “They ask for regular worship and sacrifices. To be venerated, monuments and graves built for them, and maintained.†He glances the way of the bone white manor. “The Center is the home of the ghost who commands us and the...
Jillias nods uncomfortably at Anoke. “May the gods be with you. I fear only dark times may be ahead. At least for the next foreseeable future.†Jillias mounts onto Torchwood. Taking on last cautious look at Anoke before riding back down the road towards Icehold.
--------------------...
Jillias looks down at the knife and frowns as she hesitates for a moment. “I’m afraid I am going to have to agree with you. This,†she waves a hand at Diamond Refuge. Smoke still rising from the city, “could not have happened at a worse time. It is madness. Eight centuries of work...
The elder listens to what Alfrun has to say and nods courtesy. “If you must know, our village does not have the most auspicious start. Our village was started by slaves who escaped the slave satrapy’s. Some going all the way back to when the Scarlet Empress first subjugated and enslaved...
“I’m afraid things may have just become significantly more complicated,†says Ambassdor Jillias with resignation as she crosses her arms in front of her chest. “I’m afraid that the new Shogun, White Star, is not friendly to your kind. Quite the opposite. And diplomacy, to say the...
“Please come with me,†says the elder, and nods as he leads the group to a nearby hut. Within are relatively Spartan accommodations with little in the way of furniture or other luxury items. The elder sits on the opposite end of a small table, and motions for the collected Exalted to sit...
“I-it was General Wh-, I mean Shogun White Star,†says the soldier shakily. “She said to detain anyone suspicious who came along the road, or report large groups of soldiers. When we saw you riding down the road our commander,†her eyes move to the splattered remains of Anoke’s earlier...
Should have a post up on Monday. Just got put down for the last few days by a head cold that just made it difficult for me to have the energy and concentrate on posting. Sorry about that.
The elder motions towards one of the huts. “Perhaps it would be best if we took this conversation to my home. No sense carrying on this discussion in the middle of the street.â€
One of the archers, already having dropped her bow from fright and shock from what she just saw, drops to her knees in a begging position while the other three stare on slackjawed. “Please don’t kill us! We were just following orders!â€
Inguz can think back to the wisdom of his tribe who said that the relationship of mortals worshipping the undead is perfectly natural and normal relationship, and that all should be encouraged to do so. That the undead should be given positions of respect and primarcy, and that their mortal...
As the two Exalted ride along Anoke spots out of the corner of his eye movement. Five archers covered in vegetation to break up their outlines stand up slowly and carefully from their pits. They aim their arrows at the pair, and prepare to fire.

Quickly riding along the road towards Diamond Refuge, the demesne fortress dating back to the First Age. Its white walls rise over the horizon before the sights of the gray city walls are seen. But out of the city can be seen black smoke rising out of it. Qieties’ eyes furrow as she looks...
As the group descends, you can see a number of individuals look out the windows and doors of their huts to see you come into their town. They look fearful and worried as they examine the newcomers, and tell their yawning children to withdraw further into their huts. On closer examination this...
Qieties shakes her head in negation. “I feel that we have discussed all we are going to talk about for now. Whatever quarters you feel are best as long as suitable allowances for my followers are made.â€
OOC: Anything else you want to cover, or shall we move on to going to Diamond Refuge?
I'm back now, and I hope to get back to posting within the next couple of days. Just need to brush up on my notes, and figure out where to move from where we are.
I just wanted to tell you guys that I have not forgotten about this campaign, and that I should be posting again next week. I've just been busy going on vacation with the parents, moving apartments, and now I'm heading to Gen Con for the elongated weekend (yea, just about everything hit me at...
Apologies about the recent delays in the game. I've just been really busy as of late with various projects. That said, I'm also going to be on vacation for the next five days, and after that I'm going to be working on moving apartments later next week. But I have confidence I should be able...
