He looks at you...then nods, anyone with something that insane of a boast is either mad or they're telling the truth.  So...what do you want to know about these runes?

"It's not what I want to know, it's what you want to learn."

He studies it, amazed at the runes carved into the thing...He mutters, squinting with one eye, then the other, then running his fingers over the runes.... “Yes I think I can.”

I smile. "I'm pleased to hear that. I'll let you look at the axe and sword for the night... and you can feel free to call in everyone you can find to aid in the examination, I don't mind, but I'm still using them."

The king is silent for a long while seeming to take in all that you said to him.  “Lad, that was very well said.  And it seems that you have a bit of the dreamer in ye, that's rare, very rare in this world.  Most times it's battered out of someone before their milk teeth fall out, if they ever had it.  You, you've somehow kept that.  Hold onto that lad, hold it tight and be ready to fight hard, and you'll go very far indeed.”

I nod. "To that I would be willing to swear an oath."

You continue to drink with amiable companionship for a while before the two of you go to bed.  Anything you want to say or do?

I just sit in comfort with good company and mention in passing that one day I may ask for some favors returned. I have some long term plans that I believe in the end would benefit everyone. Though before that I hope to kill most of the orcs in Black Crag.

Draw a circle around the word "Drakwald". I wasn't kidding when Isaid the middle of the forest.

If that's the worst that happens then fuck 'em they ain't ruining our night so I just ignore them.  Unless they specifically ask about me, I'll tell them I did a favor and now I'm celebrating a job well done.  Nothing more, nothing less.While I dine I tell Cosmina that before we move in to our new holdings  I might need to do some extermination.

Some = A whole lot

I tell her that I'm going to be doing some beast hunting.  I'll be gone for exactly a month before I come back and take her with me.  In the meantime I'm trusting her with my money to prepare to set up a new holding in the Drakwald.  Buy what you think we might need, ask folks for advice.  Consider  it practice for being a lady of the house.  “You think you'll be alright?”

"I'll be fine..."

Then we head to the new housing that the Graf set up for us to spend the night.

She almost squees!

The next day I'll see both the Graf and the Ar-Ulric if there's anything else they need of me before I prepare to head out for my reaving.

Will you be needing help? Conventional troops, workers, religious zealots?

Well, time to kill off the pursuit. I'll leave this knight to Kyra's care and then rush out to face the pursuers. Unsheathing my weapons I'll make quick work of the goblins. Making sure none of them get away. I do however try to keep a few Giant Wolves alive, they may be useful if I can make them submit to me. In any case, time for another slaughter.

Nothing green lives, all 20 of them.  A couple of wolves on the other hand you manage to spare.  They're frankly too terrified to fight.

After the bloody work is done, I'll head over to the knight and question him about what happened and where the rest of the procession is.

Once he's lucid for questioning, he tells you that a giant swarm of goblin riders descended on the procession a few hours ago.  The knights fought like demons but they were eventually overrun and the rest of them were killed with the young ladies being taken into the mountains, most likely taken for a stewpot later on.

After the questioning, we'll set out to rescue any survivors. Oh, and make sure to give the knight as best care we can, don't want him dying on us.

Kyra does excellent work and the knight is stabilized.  Once that's taken care of you head out off to find the young lady.

Yeah that guy is definitely worth the money.

Continue down the cliff, and join up with the rest of them. After that, ask the hunters whether we need to leave in order to preserve the eggs, or whether we can continue hunting.

Well if you intend to sell them for hopeful mounts then you'll need to head out. Now.

Man, I love how super strength makes fishing a breeze. An with this river here I should have a much easier time getting back home or at least to another town or village. As places like that generally crop up around a river like this or if I don't luck out that way at least it will lead me to the coast, which would help in finding a coastal port.

So yeah, I'm going be sticking to this river and following it out to the coast towards home. An while traveling this way I'll bath, drink and eat my fill day in and day out to help speed up my recovery, so that hopefully in a few days I can be up for some running again. Though through out my entire time traveling by river side, I make sure to be on the look out for signs of other people in the area. So that if I can spot some, I can deal with them and hopefully maybe get some better directions or get told where I am and how much further I need to go to get home.

Right. To make sure these wolves get the idea. I'll grab each of them and make them submit, slight bite on their throat, light enough to feel, not enough to hurt. Trying to make them completely submissive to me so that they will get the idea. The wolves will be useful for tracking later if need be.

Once he's lucid for questioning, he tells you that a giant swarm of goblin riders descended on the procession a few hours ago.  The knights fought like demons but they were eventually overrun and the rest of them were killed with the young ladies being taken into the mountains, most likely taken for a stewpot later on.

Well, as I feared. This knight was probably pretty damned lucky to have escaped. I'd bet there were at least a hundred goblin riders to be able to overwhelm twenty Bretonnian knights. Quite a few, but I should be able to kill them off.

Kyra does excellent work and the knight is stabilized.  Once that's taken care of you head out off to find the young lady.  

Great.

Problem here. My party moves VERY fast due to the carry and run method I use. We need to figure out a way for me to be able to move with everyone. Thankfully I'm here along with 300+ dwarfs. I think we should be able to come up with something damned quick.

My plan for retaking it would be Valten and I act as the spear's point, while they anchor the rear. We're probably not going to clear the entire hold, but the plan will be to fight our way to the dungeons and kill everything in our path including the Warlord. We're going to retake at least enough that they can establish a serious foothold from which to finish the job.

Though there will be discussion of reward after this. It was free when I was just clearing it as an extra. Now that someone is traveling with me to take possession, we need to negotiate.

"Tell me what you've learned. I am not interested in your craft secrets but want to know more about my weapons."

Well what he manages to tell you later on is that these runes are able to take in massive amounts of power which it then uses to reinforce it's durability and even emit elemental powers for a limited time.  What amazes him is how stupendously huge the amount of power that goes into the weapons without it overloading, AND how safe the layout it thanks to the incredibly precises pattern of it.  It would take a runelord years to do this unless he copied it directly from it.  EVEN WITH this ax at hand he doubts he could do it.

And I'll gladly do it. Isn't the deal best when both parties are pleased?

Beyond that I wait and prepare in any small way I can.

Well actually I had intended to see if the Count was willing to start a breeding and training Gryph Farm. For Gryphons, Hippogryphs, and Demigryphs. If he is, great. If not, then yeah I guess I'll sell them. Either way we should leave then.

If the Count doesn't want them, then make sure each of the hunters get's an egg to sell, then see about raising the forth one. Piet is supposed to have a lot of potential when it comes to riding, right?

Hm... rather ominous. But, well, nothing to it but to go at full steam following the goblins. Not like the Goblins have anything that can hurt me, and if I can panic them, they will drop everything and run like hell. I'll follow the goblin and wolf trails leading from the ambush point and try and catch up to them. But I'll keep a look out for any ambush attempts, as well as the non-goblin blood trail. I have a bad feeling about that trail. Time to chase down the bastards. Hopefully they didn't kill their food yet.

That evening as you rest the rumble of some beast can be heard.  When you raise your exhausted head, you see to your consternation that a huge (50 strong) pack of river trolls are tromping through the river, and they know you're there.  Also you're as relatively weak as a kitten, dozen of soul blasts will do that....

Well fuck, I don't know what's worse here the fact that I can't seem to even be able to get some decent shut eye with the blight 4 sending there agents at me or the fact they had to send some of the foulest trolls I have ever had the displeasure to meet after me. An with me in my current state, 50 of those blights could end me if I didn't play it smart here. But, it looks like I still had some luck on my side still, as they where still a fair distance away from me and all in the water, so if my gauntlets have been getting as strong as I hope they have I might just be able to end this fight before it even starts if the dumb bastards don't get any more bright ideas.

So with that in mind I get up and head towards them in the river hoping that by doing so I can make sure they stay in it. As I really can't have too many of the leaving if I want to pull off what I about to do. An so once I get about 10 yards away from there lead troll, I quickly jump out of the river onto the shore and shove both gauntlets into the river and use all the charge I can muster in them to freeze the water and hopefully the trolls solid. An if it worked I head over to the now frozen trolls and shatter each and every head of theirs to make sure they are dead before heading on further to get out of this area before bedding down again. Though if that plan fails, I just book it and hope I can out distance the trolls or lose them in the forest.

Well what he manages to tell you later on is that these runes are able to take in massive amounts of power which it then uses to reinforce it's durability and even emit elemental powers for a limited time.  What amazes him is how stupendously huge the amount of power that goes into the weapons without it overloading, AND how safe the layout it thanks to the incredibly precises pattern of it.  It would take a runelord years to do this unless he copied it directly from it.  EVEN WITH this ax at hand he doubts he could do it.

I see. Well, I hope you folks learned something applicable. If there is time in the future I hope to be able to give you more time to study. In the meantime I hope you got all the sketches and etchings you'll need to experiment at least.

He knows some craftsdwarves that work quick and owe him favors.

"Good. Build it extra large. We might stop at a couple more holds for volunteers and any slayers looking to go out on a pile of orcs."

“Alright then what do you want lad?”

This'll probably involve long term negotiation, but a cut of the loot and an alliance... as well as the future services of Dwarf craftsmen.

I my admit to him I have some long term designs on the Border Princes and Badlands.

In general though we work out something we can both live with without complaint. I'm perfectly willing to be fair.

Well, and we're off?

“Alright then, had to make the offer, but I will make sure the ar-Ulric is talked with.”

Thank you.

I think on it, then agree, “Alright then.  How many would you suggest?  So long as there are enough to protect Cosmina from any hungry or uncomfortably determined vampires, I'll take them along with me.  But anything that will slow the men down I will NOT tolerate.  I'd also like to meet the men leading the knights panthers and the White Wolves before we leave, I'd like to get a feel for these men.”

Beyond that I wait and prepare in any small way I can.

Though I do make a point to meet with the detachment protecting Cosmina, I make it bluntly clear that should any harm come to her it'll come out of their hides.  My eyes glow with the implied consequences.

Your woman will be protected to the best of their ability.

And the number of men they're sending with you?

about 3000 of middenheim's best

Well when you get over the hill you see to your stunned surprise a large group of Bretonnian knights beating the hell out of each other. Seems like some sort of feud going on. Roughly 50 against 50.

I take a moment to survey the battlefield, and ask if Mort has any idea what's going on down there.

But at this point, I see no reason to get involved one way or the other. I also make sure we're not standing in the open while we're having our look-see.

Well actually I had intended to see if the Count was willing to start a breeding and training Gryph Farm. For Gryphons, Hippogryphs, and Demigryphs. If he is, great. If not, then yeah I guess I'll sell them. Either way we should leave then.

If the Count doesn't want them, then make sure each of the hunters get's an egg to sell, then see about raising the forth one. Piet is supposed to have a lot of potential when it comes to riding, right?

The Count is more than willing to take in the eggs though BREEDING them might be hard.  He'll pay for each of them.  Though Piet needs to be a bit older before he tries to bring a Hippogriff under control.  You CAN head back into the mountains if you wish.

Hm... rather ominous. But, well, nothing to it but to go at full steam following the goblins. Not like the Goblins have anything that can hurt me, and if I can panic them, they will drop everything and run like hell. I'll follow the goblin and wolf trails leading from the ambush point and try and catch up to them. But I'll keep a look out for any ambush attempts, as well as the non-goblin blood trail. I have a bad feeling about that trail. Time to chase down the bastards. Hopefully they didn't kill their food yet.

You plow your way up the hillside, up into the mountains.  You keep note of the signs of the pack as you make your way.  After several hours you finally find the goblin tribe.  It isn't pretty, but it isn't as bad as it could have been.  That was actually horse blood.  The ladies themselves, though battered and bruised are alright.  The horses on the other hand....

There are about 100 goblins and their wolves munching on horses that each cost more than what three villages make in a year...God that burns...  The ladies are tied up to the side.

Well fuck, I don't know what's worse here the fact that I can't seem to even be able to get some decent shut eye with the blight 4 sending there agents at me or the fact they had to send some of the foulest trolls I have ever had the displeasure to meet after me. An with me in my current state, 50 of those blights could end me if I didn't play it smart here. But, it looks like I still had some luck on my side still, as they where still a fair distance away from me and all in the water, so if my gauntlets have been getting as strong as I hope they have I might just be able to end this fight before it even starts if the dumb bastards don't get any more bright ideas.

So with that in mind I get up and head towards them in the river hoping that by doing so I can make sure they stay in it. As I really can't have too many of the leaving if I want to pull off what I about to do. An so once I get about 10 yards away from there lead troll, I quickly jump out of the river onto the shore and shove both gauntlets into the river and use all the charge I can muster in them to freeze the water and hopefully the trolls solid. An if it worked I head over to the now frozen trolls and shatter each and every head of theirs to make sure they are dead before heading on further to get out of this area before bedding down again. Though if that plan fails, I just book it and hope I can out distance the trolls or lose them in the forest.

Amazingly, beyond all possibilites...it works...The river not only freezes solid.  It freezes the bastards so quickly that it kills them instantly...Though the river freezes almost half a mile past them.    You can move in and shatter them if you wish but there isn't a spark of life left in the beasts.

Whether you shatter them or not you lie down and finally get some goddam sleep.

The next morning you feel better, about 50% of normal, you still have a few days before you recover fully but now there isn't much that can harm you anymore.

Sweet Olric, that was a lot stronger then I was expecting. But I not going to complain about this kind of power. An thank whatever forces gave these things to me in the first place, as this power has just saved life.

Whether you shatter them or not you lie down and finally get some goddam sleep.

Yeah, I'm shattering those things. As you can never be too careful you know and breaking them now would be a nice way to release all that new energy I got when I saw these guys coming down the river.

The next morning you feel better, about 50% of normal, you still have a few days before you recover fully but now there isn't much that can harm you anymore.

Ah, back into some decent shape again. How I missed this. As now I can start running again. So I should be able to get home faster and if I'm really lucky maybe only a day or two after the main forces get home. As I know I can bet them on foot if I'm running.

The ladies are tied up to the side.

As I spy my targets I notice that they were set to the side of their encampment, likely set aside so that once the goblins had had their fill of horse flesh they could torture them for fun or something like that. I carefully and as stealthily as I can circle around to the side where the ladies were being held. Readying myself, I break into a flatout sprint, charging into whatever guards the goblins had with the ladies, seeking to eliminate the immediate threat to them.

After which, I'll shout out a warcry. If what I hope would happen, the warcry would echo in the close confines and sound like a large number of attackers, disorienting the goblins and giant wolves whom just moments ago were happily eating.

I run down any goblins in my way, slaughtering any that I can get my hands on.

But my primary objective is to save the ladies, so if the goblins break and run, I'll grab the women and get the hell out of there and back to where Kyra and the knight is.

Overall there was little trouble moving your way through the mountains until you're roughly half a mile out from Karak Azgal, then you happen to hear the sound of a small greenskin tribe heading down the pass towards you at least 1000 of them.

YES!

As I spy my targets I notice that they were set to the side of their encampment, likely set aside so that once the goblins had had their fill of horse flesh they could torture them for fun or something like that. I carefully and as stealthily as I can circle around to the side where the ladies were being held. Readying myself, I break into a flatout sprint, charging into whatever guards the goblins had with the ladies, seeking to eliminate the immediate threat to them.

The couple of goblins that were standing guard are turned into a fine mist by your blasting through them. The ladies are stunned by this sudden turn of events.

After which, I'll shout out a warcry. If what I hope would happen, the warcry would echo in the close confines and sound like a large number of attackers, disorienting the goblins and giant wolves whom just moments ago were happily eating.

It echoes like a shockwave through the forest and over the mountains. The goblins are in a blind panic, their mounts are in agony from that sound weapon. They're in no real condition to fight.

I run down any goblins in my way, slaughtering any that I can get my hands on.

And they go down like wheat before the scythe.

But my primary objective is to save the ladies, so if the goblins break and run, I'll grab the women and get the hell out of there and back to where Kyra and the knight is.

After a fairly short fight, the goblins run in every direction screaming, the wolves slink off in agony. That leaves you with six stunned young Bretonnian noble women who look like they're ready to cry any second.

As you trudge along, the howl of a hunting hound hits your ears, coming over a hill is a hart being chased by hounds and mounted men. Bjornlings...

Oops yeah he's gushing over that as well.

If so I present him with the dagger personally.

Deal!

Overall there was little trouble moving your way through the mountains until you're roughly half a mile out from Karak Azgal, then you happen to hear the sound of a small greenskin tribe heading down the pass towards you at least 1000 of them.

I look at Valten and say. "Bet to see who gets the most kills?"

And then SLAUGHTER TIME FUN TIME!

Let the Dwarfs see what they're traveling with!

What comes next is possibly the longest and most obnoxious month of your life. You kill several thousand of the bastards, but on the whole they seem to have gone to ground.

What you do accomplish it you made a road that goes 100 miles into the heart of the Drakwald, mainly through ripping up every tree in your way along a 10 yard wide path.

What do now?

Obviously

As you make your way out of the mountains with your precious cargo, you're attacked one night by a massive contingent of night goblins, complete with crazy ball and chain swingers.

Fuck. Have the wolves surround the cart, have the brothers guard Piet and the Sniper Hunter. Have the Sniper Hunter snipe any goblin that looks or acts like a leader.

As for me, I'm going for the nearest Fanatic. Grabbing his ball in one hand, and cutting him in half with the other. Then its time for a little shock put at the second nearest Fanatic, before moving on towards the nearest living Ball and Chain wielder to repeat the process. After the last one is dead, keep the ball and chain and show the survivors how it's really done.

Keep the fuckers away from the group, and focus on the Fanatics then the rest of the Night Goblins.

The couple of goblins that were standing guard are turned into a fine mist by your blasting through them.  The ladies are stunned by this sudden turn of events.

I charged through the two goblins that were standing guard inattentively, though, to be fair, even had they been attentive they would likely have been killed anyways without a fight.

It echoes like a shockwave through the forest and over the mountains.  The goblins are in a blind panic, their mounts are in agony from that sound weapon. They're in no real condition to fight.

'That... was abit more then I thought would happen.' I thought to myself as I continued my rampage throughout the goblin encampment.

And they go down like wheat before the scythe.

The stunned and panicked goblins are cut to shreds as I charge around the encampment, killing as many as I can.

After a fairly short fight, the goblins run in every direction screaming, the wolves slink off in agony.  That leaves you with six stunned young Bretonnian noble women who look like they're ready to cry any second.

I wipe off my weapons of goblin and wolf blood as best I can on any convenient tunic which isn't my own, and sheath my weapons, the danger having passed. I turn to the... six... what the, I thought there were two of them!

Bah, in anycase, time to calm them down.

I go to one knee before them, trying to be as non-threatening as possible, getting down to their level where they huddled together.

"Ladies, my name is Marcus Raynor, I'm here to help you, but you need to help me help you. Panic will not help anyone. If you will calm yourselves and not run off into the dangerous mountains, I'll untie you, we need to get out of here and get you six back to safety, perhaps to Montfort or some other nearby place. But as I said, I'm here to help you. One of your escorting knights managed to escape the ambush and encountered me and my traveling companion, relaying what happened to the rest of your procession to me. My companion stayed behind to tend to and watch over the knight who was wounded. I tracked you here and mounted this attack to rescue you. Please, regain your calm, I'll get you back to safety as soon as possible."

I spoke to them in a soft voice, trying to calm them, once they've actually calmed down enough, I'll see about removing whatever they've been tied up with.

After all that is done, I'll need to hurry and get them out of here before anything dangerous shows up.

I'll take them with me to where I left Kyra and the knight, after which, we'll head back to Montfort (IIRC it is the closest settlement).

As you trudge along, the howl of a hunting hound hits your ears, coming over a hill is a hart being chased by hounds and mounted men. Bjornlings...

Well it's that a site for sore eyes, looks like I might be getting home faster then I first hoped. As it looks like I lucked upon a hunter. Though I let's see if I can make his life easier when I head over to him. So with that I do a quick sprint over to the Hart, grab and with a quick twist of my fingers snap it's neck before turning to the hunter and his hounds with a smile.

"Well meet good hunter and sorry for taking you prey from you. But I didn't want to stop you and letting you lose it or having you pass me while in your chase, so I have taken care of it for you so we can talk." Then walking over to the man with the hart and handing it over to him.

"So my friend can you tell me where I am right now, as I'm kind of a little lost right now and if you can point me in the direction or better yet take me to the King's holding I can promise a just reward for your help."

He doesn't live in the hold.

Deal!

Pleasure doing business lad.

I look at Valten and say. "Bet to see who gets the most kills?"

"A gold crown."

And then SLAUGHTER TIME FUN TIME!

Let the Dwarfs see what they're traveling with!

Between the two of you, you go through the entire waaagh like a tornado going through a toothpick factory. You manage to clear out the entire waaagh before the dwarves can bring their weapons to bear.

The old man, Kuradin Bronzebrow, stares at the carnage and asks, "How?"

Chop a tree, kill a gor, chop a tree, kill a gor...

Damn...shoulda gone with Orkin....

What you do accomplish it you made a road that goes 100 miles into the heart of the Drakwald, mainly through ripping up every tree in your way along a 10 yard wide path.

What do now?

What now? Why advertise my dear man. On the way back we take the big roads, talking about how a new lord is carving a fief into the Drakwald and that the beastmen are pissing themselves. I also make sure that the men bring the heads with them as we march, not for bounties, but for advertisement of what this new lord can bring to the table. So one we march to Middenheim, when asked who I am I tell them that "Lord Skarin Beowulfsson has come to pay homage to his liege lord.

First thing is send a message to the Elector Count asking for an audience, then head to Find Cosmina once the other men are dispensed. I hug her, kiss her, and tell her about what I've done. I also tell her my little plan about a road through the Drakwald and making a toll road on it.

Then I head to the Palace and tell the Graf what happened in the forest. I also make a request. I'll offer to carve a road from Rosche to Fassberg and make sure the road is clear. All I ask is that I hold the land around the road, a toll, and the land back through the Drakwald heart. All I ask is to be able to work with the land I trace out on this map here.

The fight is monstrously brutal and casualties are horrific, for the night goblins. While you tear through the ugly gremlins the others earn their keep and defend the cart eventually the fight is done and you've driven the goblins off, but you see to your concern that one of the goblins managed to hit the sniper with an arrow and he's now fighting to keep one of the brothers form helping him with the injury.

The ladies stare at you for a moment, then they start blubbering anyway, thanking you and "Lady's blessings on you Sir"'s for a while. Most of them anyway. The one that's the daughter of the Duke, the blonde beauty you saw before seems to keep herself under control more. She thanks you calmly and lets you help the six of them out of their ropes then guide them down to the road where Kyra is waiting. "Well it seems that you can't help coming to a lady in distress's aid can you?" The elf maiden comments dryly.

The ladies stare at you for a moment, then they start blubbering anyway, thanking you and "Lady's blessings on you Sir"'s for a while.  Most of them anyway.  The one that's the daughter of the Duke, the blonde beauty you saw before seems to keep herself under control more.  She thanks you calmly and lets you help the six of them out of their ropes then guide them down to the road where Kyra is waiting.  "Well it seems that you can't help coming to a lady in distress's aid can you?"  The elf maiden comments dryly.

I shrug to Kyra's comment, giving a slight sheepish grin. "What can I say, its a flaw of mine."

I gave a sigh. "Well, let's just head back to Montfort or where ever is the closest so that we can drop them off there then we can continue on our way."

Unless there's other comments or other stuff, travel montage as we hoof it back to Montfort to put these ladies out of harms way.

I'm really hoping that's not poison. Either way, he needs to be restrained. Walking up to him, I slowly and gently grab his arms and hold him down, being careful to avoid the injury.

OOC: Tell me, is the Empire sexist against females who've proven they can fight?
