Finally you reach a walled settlement.  Judging from the people they're mostly Gospodar though you see a few Ungols here and there.

A horn is sounded and soon a band of riders (Winged Lancers) come out to greet the Ungol party.

At their head is a big blonde-haired lummox of a man with the pale blue eyes of the Gospodars.

He looks the party over and fixates on you.  "Well met.  What brings your band to my hold?"

At that moment you realize none of the others have really figured out how to explain...you...want to step in or let your hosts try and figure it out?

They've had time to think of something surely ... and I'm not really the only thing they're here about. After all, the main reason for the visit is increased numbers of Chaos forces. I figure, I'll let them report on that unless specifically addressed. After all, if I do have to speak, it'd be best done after an introduction.

Also, the sight of these almost-Hussars (since, give the wings, that's what the Lancers are based on) is both strangely nostalgic and odd in this context. Never expected to see this kind of things outside of historical reenactment.

He lets you go on ahead.

If I, I tell him the quick basics of the Avatar and that I'm a Friend of Urgrim. And about how I helped them beat Ironhide and he gave me a boon. And that boon is to make his son regent and travel with me until he finds his rightful Doom...

More detail can be said later but first... I'm sure he has wounded and I can help... also...

I put out the fires burning the town.

In general, tend to those in need. Pleasantries can come later. I still have work to do.

Well you learn that the survivors of Munzig ran here ahead of the Goblins so all that needs to be done is putting out the fire. Anyway your story stuns Arik Steelfoot and he glances at Ungrim for confirmation. A Dwarf never lies, when he nods he turns to you with the biggest smile on his face and says that you're to be his guests...once that fire in the distance is dealt with.

As for the folk of Munzig, the surviving leadership, one Baron Peter von Gorman, the grandson of an Averland expatriate and the lord of the town and surrounding territory, thanks you for saving his people...though his town...he grimaces at that. The other princes are going to jump on him like jackals on a corpse....

You agrees a bit.

Cool.

He nods and moves away.

Right then.

Well, he's there and you find several priests and a witch hunter. He wants to see your abilities and be sure you're not tainted. He has the assurance of the clerics of Ulric but he wants to be totally sure.

The Witch Hunter looks a little wildeyed.

If he moves for his gun I'm burying the bastard up to his neck....

But I nod respectfully to all present.

He'd like to see more... but the Witch Hunter is trying to insist that you take a couple... tests

To the priests I say that I already offered the Graf a show of what I can really do out somewhere in the Drakwald, I'm sure there's a few square miles of forest that noone's going to be missing.

As to the Witch Hunter I give him a suspicious look, "What kind of tests are we talking about? Because if it involves fire then I must protest, warpfire and holy fire from Ulric's flames are more than enough for me within days of each other are more than enough for me."

Heh.

Well eventually one of the Ungols speaks up. He explains what your riding party saw, the large party of Khornate Mauraders with a trio of knights leading them, the big band of Nurglite Beastmen, and they mention that someone they met ran into a band of shamans who summoned a Changer of Ways.

The man's eyes bug clean out his head and he turns to sound the alarm immediately, before he's told to wait, all three threats were already dealt with, few if any survived and the demon was banished back to where he came form.

The Gospodar man stares at your party, completely unbelieving of such a claim. "How?"

Your companions turn to you.

Yeah. Being offered "Anything you want" from a Dwarf King... which could have easily been "My weight in Magical Weapons" and instead saying "I want to help you to restore you family's honor"... ultimate bro-cred.

once that fire in the distance is dealt with.

I raise an eyebrow and put out the fire. "Like that?"

I raise an eyebrow... "Would you mind if I did some urban renewal?"

If he doesn't... I go nuts... stone houses, aqueducts, fountains, proper sewers, 40ft city walls, INDOOR PLUMBING!

As you claim to be master of the elements, he will give you a test of the elements...

You must walk across burning coals. You must withstand the crushing weight of boulders. You must survive underwater without being drowned. You must be thrown from great heights without being broken!

If your heart is pure and the gods are with you then you will emerge from these tests unscathed and all will know your power is not that of vile chaos!

All are silent for a moment taking that in then in a single voice they begin to cheer your name, "SAMA! SAMA! SAMA! KING OF THE BORDER LANDS! KING! KING! KING! KING!"

Even Peter is cheering along and he seems to REALLY mean it.

You don't think you're going to convince these people otherwise unless you RUN!

I glance at the priests for a moment, with a 'is he SERIOUS?' look on my face before turning back to him.

Hmm...I can redirect the heat from the coals, bend the stones enough that I don't kill myself, sneak an air bubble for the water and do some slight air buffeting and softening the ground when I land.

"Alright I accept your challenges. May the gods show their favor to me."

"a grim world of perilous adventure" has been the subtext for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay since the 1980s...

When you answer he shrugs and says, "Well I don't know what it'd look like but considering you can shoot fireballs and hurricanes like party favors I doubt anyone's gonna gainsay ya."

That seems to be the opinions of the others, not sure about this but considering the power you showed you'll be able to bull it into existence, welcome to the Borderlands where force of Will and Force make ALL the rules.

Just kidding.

The first one is annoying... he goes into it looking smug, and while you dance around a little before getting used to it, he ends up lookign pretty annoyed.

So he uses BIG bolders and keeping them from CAVING YOUR RIBCAGE without otright LIFTING THEM OFF YOU is a bit of a chore.

The Water is simple. You're fucking WATER TRIBE and using waterbending to create an air bubble is a BASIC technique.

The Wind... well... it's a bit more complicated because he insists that the proper test is to launch you off of the Ulric's burg with a trebuchet.

Needless to say, it's a big hard to stop and the walk back is annoying. Though the look on his face is downright epic...

"NO! ONE MORE!" he roars, "One more test!"

"YOU SHALL FACE... TRIAL BY CAKE!"

He motions and what looks like a full on WEDDING CAKE is drawn out.

"Eat that and you are truly in the right!"

He looks downright manic at this point...

On the other hand, these _are_ steppe riders, duelers, and men of martial prowess ... who appreciate a good boast and demonstration.

More or less though they do appreciate how the "grew out of the ground" ascetic looks. Not bad. Even the trained stone carvers think so.

Well the party is a hellacious rip-roarer, the high point being Florina, utterly sloshed from half a cup of Bugman's, assaulting your lips with herr own though you manage to pry her off before either of you do anything you regret.

The next morning she wakes up with one HELL of a hangover, and little or no memory of what she did in a massive crowd of people.

As you start leaving a young sounding voice calls out to you.

You turn around...and look up and up....

Standing in front of you is ...well you wonder if the kid has Ogre blood in him because you didn't think men grew that tall without favor from the dark gods.

7'2'' and hulking muscle, his face seems to utterly mismatch the rest of him because that part doesn't look a day over 17. When you regain your composure you learn what Herman Kessel, the young man, wants with you.

His merchant family had been killed in the goblin attack and with him the only one left and no real head for the mercantile business he asks if he could come with you? If you ask you learn he's downright NASTY with a spiked hammer his father had given him for his last birthday, and which he'd used to devastating effect during the fight.

The youthful hope and apprehension on his face is so intense you'd feel like you're kicking a puppy for saying no.

On the other hand, these _are_ steppe riders, duelers, and men of martial prowess ... who appreciate a good boast and demonstration.

I grin, tilt my head back and _breathe out a motherfucking gout a flame that rises a good dozen or more meters straight up_.

"Because fuck them, that's how," I say.

"SORCERY!"

I do admit at least with the parts involving orcs and skaven, I might as well as be using the Book of Grudges as a checklist.

More or less though they do appreciate how the "grew out of the ground" ascetic looks.  Not bad.  Even the trained stone carvers think so.

I give them some demos and offer to help them with the holds outer wall. I can basically weld the stone to turn it from multiple masterfully crafted and fitted blocks into one solid piece of stone.

They'll probably need to give it a once over to iron out any little imperfections but it'll probably be much stronger than before.

Well the party is a hellacious rip-roarer, the high point being Florina, utterly sloshed from half a cup of Bugman's, assaulting your lips with herr own though you manage to pry her off before either of you do anything you regret.

Heh.

The next morning she wakes up with one HELL of a hangover, and little or no memory of what she did in a massive crowd of people.

I'm sure someone else will tell her. I'm a little embarrassed.

Your eventual place of rest is a small alcove in the stables. While not perfect it's warm and they don't scrimp on the food you're given.

A day later a hairy man comes to the fort from the forests. A priest of Ursun from the look of it.

He glances you over and then asks. "Right then, do your thing. I'll be able to tell if you're of the four or not." A swarm of cannons are aimed right at you. Apparently they're not taking any risks.

What do you show him?

And you barely dodge a flash of hell fire that blasts at you from the forest to your left. Slamming up a barrier you manage to get a look at what the hell just happened and you spot movement through the trees. Followed by hellacious howling the trumpeting of crude horns. Seems a Beastman herds stumbled across you....300 strong at the least and at least one shaman in there.

Just because Kazrak's dead doesn't mean that others won't rise to take his place and there are certainly SWARMS of the bastards under those trees."

You're out of the stables and once the story gets around that you REALLY did put down all of those followers of the Chaos gods they're all extremely excited and happy to have you around. Practically a guest of honor. You're going to be here for a few days though as they need to send a message to the Boyar.

Wanna do anything until a return message is sent?

Wanna do anything until a return message is sent?

She was drunk. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

He blinks at the first then chuckles in agreement at the second.

"Though I downright pity the ratmen and greenskins."

I make my voice lower and more grumbly. "Spoiled beardlings, don't appreciate what blessings you've got! In my day we didn't have any of these fancy kicky-punchy Earthbending techniques. You had to headbutt the walls into submission to get the Earth to do what you want!"

And you barely dodge a flash of hell fire that blasts at you from the forest to your left.  Slamming up a barrier you manage to get a look at what the hell just happened and you spot movement through the trees. Followed by hellacious howling the trumpeting of crude horns.  Seems a Beastman herds stumbled across you....300 strong at the least and at least one shaman in there.

I grin like a lunatic. "Florina! Midrange attacks and crowd control. Keep them off their feet and kill any targets of opportunity!" I look to the Waterbender kid, "Short range immobilization! If they can't move, they can't DEFEND. Urgrim! Watch the others and keep everyone alive. Kill everything that gets close. I'm going after the shaman!"

I fireblast the Gors infront of me and fire several bolders into thier formations as I use airbending to speed myself as I rush the Shaman. I use an ice wall as a defense/offense to clear my way...

Then I pretty much lay on the shaman with the full fury of the elements by LAVABENDING at him after sucking the air of of his lungs.

He seems curious about it, though he's still a Borderlander in his speech and manners for the most part.  Though he's more attentive about the phases of the moon.

He'll be taught. I tell him all about the Water and Moon spirits.

I guess Maan is the closest they have to the EArth Spirit, but they don't have a equivalent for Yue.

"She's not a vampire Arch-Lector.  But I understand what you mean.  I realize I'm rather passive but that's because I'm the Avatar, I have the power to shake the foundations of the earth itself if I find reason to.  I try to be nice because if I let my strength go to my head than I'm no better than the brutes I am sworn to do battle with. But I will take your words to heart and be more assertive."

"Diplomacy is war without violence," he states calmly, "Remember your friends, remember your foes, and never let anyone forget your power. I'm an old man. But few ignore me because I can make their lives difficult with a simple nod. For you, that seems to be more literal. Don't forget, and don't let them..."

He frowns. "And don't trust that Sylvanian woman. She has an agenda. Everyone does. Mine just happens to be the well being of the Empire."

If you mean she asks what happened I tell her I passed the Priest's tests as well as a Random Witch Hunter's many insane demands.  He also mentioned I'm too nice and I depend on you too much...what do you think?

She pouts. "Maybe a little but I'll always have your back, lover...."

"If you haven't decided on a name yet, might I suggest Boruburg?" I say with a chuckle.

"I'll consider it."

Then I have a pensive look on my face.  "If you wished I could raise a Thick Stone wall for every major town in Middenland if you wished it's certainly rather easy for me and it would make them much safer.  Just because Kazrak's dead doesn't mean that others won't rise to take his place and there are certainly SWARMS of the bastards under those trees."

"Tall order. How much?"

"It could give me something to do before I head south to get an audience with the Emperor about bring Marienburg back into the fold. I could do more if there were other earthbenders....though there MIGHT be a way to get more manipulators of the elements...."

His eye light up. "Really?"

Well overall they seem to accept you for what you are, and while your offers are appreciated they decline the wall until they’re sure Boyar Vladimir Yugachev isn’t going to be declaring their Chaos Conspirators.

The priest seems to get along with you though he’s exceedingly gruff.

As for the training...roll a d100

A week later you get your answer from the Boyar...in 300 winged Lancers riding up to the fort with Vladimir riding at the head of the party. Not hostile but he’s obviously concerned about what he’ll find.

Chuckle.

The two of them nod and they began to tear into the brutes. Herman managed to freeze many of them then shattering them with his massive hammer, while Florina blasted others with gusts of wind. Ungrim meanwhile swung his ax with wild abandon, a beast dying with each swing.

You tear your way through the pack like a knife through hot butter. Finding the shaman, it doesn’t last long enough to scream before he’s roasted.

I nod, “I understand.”

He frowns. "And don't trust that Sylvanian woman. She has an agenda. Everyone does. Mine just happens to be the well being of the Empire."

I sigh, “I was a grown man when I learned of my powers and responsibility, and so I was never taught or expected to be in the halls of power that I find myself in. I am fond of Alina and she seems so of me. She is also the only real guide I have presently. But I realize I can’t use her as a crutch for the rest of my life….but where do I turn?

...DAMN! Give me a proper battle against monsters! Orcs, Beastmen, the men of the utter North!”

She pouts. "Maybe a little but I'll always have your back, lover...."

I smile and kiss her on the cheek. “Thank-you my dear. But I wonder if I should begin learning how to stand on my own when dealing with those stuffed shirts. DAMN! I’d much rather leap into battle with a horde of beastmen or orcs again!”

"I'll consider it."

“Thank-you.”

"Tall order. How much?"

“How about a tenth of the normal price it would take to build those walls normally. Mannish prices of course.”

His eye light up. "Really?"

“Well there is one final skill I have. Energy-bending. It allows one to grant a living being the ability to bend like I can. Before you ask, NO it wouldn’t rely on magic to do so nor would the new bender begin to use magic either. They won’t have my raw power but there are plenty of exceptional benders that could turn the tides of battle on their own. And it would be only ONE element.

The only problem is that is it requires that the subject be willing to allow his spirit to be...influenced. If they fight and I can’t overpower them...then it could be catastrophic for the both of us.

If anyone is willing to volunteer than I would be willing to make the attempt...I WILL be needing a population of benders for a successor to come after I am gone so this would be an important start.”

That's fair enough. I was mostly trying to keep from being too bored. I'll have my fill of poking around the settlement in short enough order.

The priest seems to get along with you though he’s exceedingly gruff.

Our conversations are had mostly in half-grunts then. I can work with that.

As for the training...roll a d100

rolling ... THIS CAN ONLY GO WELL, and I should keep away from anything actually flammable

With my luck he arrives when I'm practicing that day.

Also, still halfway impressed, halfway bemused by seeing the not!Hussars. I don't think it's going away anytime soon.

As long as they watch each others backs they'll pretty much be unstoppable.

We cut down the rest...

Who knows.

So what does he think of the story of Princess Yue?

I'll meditate on it... and if there isn't one... I'll try and contact Yue if I can... and ask if she's interested in the job.
