*High upon the snowy peaks of the Maljoras mountains stands an ancient monastery, its walls fortified and strengthened to resemble that of a castle. Long corridors lit by candle light lead to a vast white marble room at the center of which stands Vance Scarab and three of his colleagues; a green skinned half orc, a young blue skinned woman and a young man with a wry smile upon his cheerful face*.

Are we to stay hiding in the mountains?

*She sighs*.
Out there Vance we belong... We must do what we can to protect those who need our help.
*She takes a deep breath and continues to play with her ring*.
I for one take no ones side. In the eyes of the High Council we are mere terrorists...
*The blue skinned woman shakes her her head*.
But to hide at such a time is a greater crime then any we have committed in the past... We must act.... We must do what is right....

And what is right? Defend our land against Carados, Darl and the Kanaran invaders? Or should we help them overthrow the High Council?

Not sure I like the odds either way. What about Philomena? You know the mermaid?
*He reaches into his pocket and grabs two dice and shakes his wrist*.
We could ask the dice... You remember last time we asked the dice, and I got a six and a two... Which in turn made an eight... Kind of added up didn't it?
*He concentrates and looks very focused on the task ahead. Gregor clenches his hands together and shakes them vigorously and then blows into his palms*.
Live by the dice die by the dice... But these aren't ordinary dice, as I've told you before....
*He kneels down and rolls the dice across the floor, Gregor and his colleagues watch them closely as they clutter purposely forward*.
*Gregor stays kneeling, his eyes widening, eyebrows raising in anticipation*.
Yes... They're slowing.....
*Gregor frowns and sighs as the dice fall through a metal grating in the room's corner*.
Oh...
*Gregor moves across the floor and kneels down. He strains as he tries to lift the grate*.
OK. Anyone want to help me? I mean the answer is just beneath the floor here...
*Gregor peers down*.
Kind of looks like a four... Or maybe a five... Anyone got a light?...
*He looks again*.
No... wait a minute... Could be a seven and a five...
*He scratches his head*.
No... Wait a minute... I remember... Dice don't have seven dots...
*He stands up and looks thoughtful*.
Maybe... Yes.... Just maybe we should abandon this for now... Right?
*He looks across at his colleagues*.
Yes?
*He looks vague*.
So where were we exactly? Oh yes... Philomena.... And the Queen.... What about her too?

Philomena the Mermaid... she has always been kind to us. Her and the tavern folk have risked their lives to treat our wounds and fill our stomachs when needed. She's hated by the High Council and loved by the poor mirefolk. Beautiful, kind Philomena...
Now the wife of Darl Thranmere...
*She looks sad*
I went to the wedding in disguise. The poor girl wept throughout the wedding and begged her father to spare her from suffering the marriage bed that night. Carados told her it was a sacrifice that must be made to free Grimney of tyranny. I wonder if those sobs as Darl took her away, managed to penetrate that hard heart of Carados? I can still hear the desperation in her tears... Darl Thranmere is a savage barbarian, they do not call him the Iron Fist for nothing.
*Kyria notices the expression on Vance's face.*
Sorry, I forgot you were once fond of her.
*She puts her hand gently on his arm*
Perhaps... perhaps she will have a good influence on Thranmere. Is it impossible he could come to love her?

What can we do about that now? Tears aside she has married him and we can hardly break into Stormrock Castle and spirit her away into the night. We do not know if she would even welcome our interference.
Queen Eleanour and Carados need the Princess if they are to find favour with the non-humans. They also could not fight a war on both fronts which is why they traded her to Darl. Unity. It is what they breed in young royals and what gives them their power.
*He looks at his colleagues*
There is a legion of halfbreeds led by the elf knight Elios. Many are Elite knights. They fight for Carados but are loyal to the Princess. Are they to be our enemies or allies? They fight for the liberation of our brothers and sisters and yet they stand with Darl... Times are desperate and they would rather fight with an invader than suffer the persecution from the High Council.

Greetings comrades.
*Thorne Falcon kicks the snow off his boots as he enters the room*
Revolution is here! Praise the Zoriat. Soon there may be a time we are our free men once more.,, or dead men.
*He strokes his sword lovingly*
My blade cannot wait to taste the blood of our oppressors.
