Annie:

He pointed to a group of people sitting in a ruined building. A black bearded dwarf teenager with medium length black facial hair, and two humans, all of whom looked to be around the same age as Annie. All of whom were sitting inside the building drinking wine, except for the dwarf who was drinking ale. At their feet they had an open box of terracotta bombs Balvin gestured invitingly at Annie.

“These idiots are, my friends. As you can see, they are clearly up to no good sitting in the old terracotta bomb storage facility. Oi, gents, found a girl!”
One of the humans started speaking drunkenly, His long brown hair was disheveled, and his clothes were not aligned very well. He was not very clean, either. That didn’t stop him from greeting Annie. A girl you say?” He said excitedly. Balvin and Annie approached the ruined building. “Well Helloo, there!” He said. Extending his left hand, while having a confident smile.

”Greetings, half-elf, I’m Arturias Gadiminas, you may have heard of the Gadiminas family, the family that produced Sudovia’s Grand Marshals?” he shook his head and sighed. dejectedly, “Who am I kidding, you probably haven’t, we haven’t been military officials in 500 years, though we still keep the family tradition strong. Now I’m just as poor as you peasants is; not that being a peasant is any different than being a noble these days. Where did you come from, cute stuff? “From Castle Gern, Arturias, She’s Tom’s daughter.” Balvin informed him. He gestured towards the box of terracotta bombs. “ You up for pranking the adults. These are stinkbombs.” Arturias smile disappeared. " Oh. I don't want to flirt with the daughter of a man who just reunited with his daughter." Arturias said respectfully.

The white skinned bearded dwarf spoke. “ Best not ta, Arturias. Give the two some time to catch up with each other, also, there is no honor in pranking the adults who keep us safe. That said, I have some of Lensa’s panties. She’ll go nuts looking fer 'em” he said with a devilish smile. I’m Eidric by the way,” The bearded dwarf, who wore black over-alls, and a tan shirt. “You may have met Haegar? He’s my uncle. Been stuck with him since my father died,”

The other human wore had a black bowl-cut hairstyle, wore square shaped glasses, and with blue overalls and a grey tunic underneath. “RIP for Dwarf honor, I’m Leonas, and while these two are pranking the adults, I suggest we sneak off so that we don’t get in trouble, You don’t want to clean the latrines, do you?” Leonas asked

- Annie: Up for pranking the elitist adults? You may get in trouble, but at least you can get revenge for their ageist tyranny. You can also choose not to prank the adults, and be a boring do-gooder!

Who you choose to help, or not help, will affect your reputation with this group of deviants, and/or the adults. Choosing to help Eidric and Arturias will get you reputation points with them, meaning they may help you out in the future. Choosing to leave with Leonas means the same thing, except your reputation with the adults will remain neutral, and Leonas will help out in the future. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Erik:

Antonius was enlightened by Erik's advice, " I should have known that being drunk was just putting them off. Drunk confidence isn't sexy confidence is it? Be a leader? What type of leader should I be?" he asked Erik.


"Once upon a time, that generation of men happened to be young, and we didn't face the problem of enticing the young to join us. It is a good problem to have, I think, I didn't think we'd raid the castle recklessly like that, though. How very fortunate that we survived" Antonius began.

he continued.

"That generation of old men happens to be the original people who rejected their elders' passivity in the face of the enemy; I hear it was a young Vyras, who led the push to exile the cowardly elders who'd rather have cowered in fear after energetically standing atop a table of a local tavern in Vilnius and appealing to the anger of the youth. It's an old story Vyras tells over and over. He's told us that cautionary tale so many times that I can recite the story by heart at this point, 'Never be passive in the face of the enemy!' 'Never show weakness to those who would exploit it.' We take our history seriously here, as we should, in my opinion. And now that he is retiring, he's been telling that story to the youth we do have here a sickening number of times.
Antonius drunkenly burped, "Excuse me," he said before continuing

"That tavern is still around too, though the owners have changed. It's now called "The Fucking Tavern," and you will likely find fellow vikings, and pirates, perhaps we could go there together on our next furlough?" Antonius finished. Brandr happened to walk by as he heard that he butt in on the conversation, perhaps rudely. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

"If anything Brandr will take him, Little Antonius; you wouldn't fit in among vikings, we are very rowdy people. That tavern makes excellent meat pies, and it has really good mead. If food and drink isn't what you are after, you could put a crew together of your own. " Brandr gave the thought of cold refreshing mead sliding down his gullet, "And now Brandr wants mead and meat pies too, damn it Antonius! All we have down here is rock-hard bread and salted meat, and water from the stream. Could do with a good bottle of mead.

"Brandr continued, "Now that we are talking about our recruitment issue, Brandr will say that we'd get more people here if we got better tasting food, hence why Brandr wants to be best chef this hideout has. Brandr is heading down to the kitchen right now, so see you there!" Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Finally arriving back at the castle, the courier that Sudaro had mesmerized flew back down to the castle entrance, the crimson sun was overhead, and every single vampire at the ruined castle was exhausted, despite this the main entrance had one guard who was struggling to keep his eyes open as the courier landed for an inspection that the guard was too tired to give.

No vampire would dare attack Castle Gern, even in this state
the guard reasoned, so he let the courier in, not realizing the mistake he just made.

The mesmerized courier made his way up three sets of steps up to the third floor, and to the middle of the castle itself before going up a spiral staircase up to the spy tower. Despite being exhausted, Balta Mirta, and Vykdyti were hunched over a table draped over with a map of Sudovia. Marked with a crimson red circle on the map was "The Great Wall of Sudovia." To the west of the Great Wall was the Esun Desert," Balta, despite being tired as Hell, was planning for something that the courier didn't care too much about.

"My Queen, what has happened to the castle while I was away," he asked Balta. Balta didn't answer " I see you arrived with the letters from Lord Vovolga, let me see them. The courier gave Balta the bag, Balta reached in and retrieved the only letter in the bag, " I don't understand, courier, what happened to those letters?

The Courier winced in pain. Perhaps the beating he took from Sudaro gave him a concussion

"Not sure, I don't remember much," the courier admitted. " We'll talk about this later, right now I am interested as to what Lord Vovolga has to say." Balta said, before eagerly opening the note. When she opened it, the letter began yelling at Balta.


" DEAREST BALTA,

I HOPE THIS LETTER FINDS ITSELF TO YOU WELL, FOR IT IS THE LAST LETTER YOU WILL EVER RECIEVE"

Adorned on the letter was the seal of Clan Draconis, which was a snake coiling around itself. there was no signer. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

The letters of the note began glowing sky blue, and Vykdyti grabbed the letter quickly and ran far away from Balta, before throwing it in the far away from herself. The note exploded into a majestic blast of blue light, which knocked the map off the table.

Pain overtook the courier, the only thing he could here in his mind were the words " Kill Balta!" repeating to him over and over, he withdrew his dagger and charged at Balta. Vykdyti withdrew a throwing dagger from her satchel and deftly threw the dagger into the throat of the vampire courier. The courier fell over dead.

Balta was shocked. " Vykdyti, I owe you a great debt here." Vykdyti smiled " it was nothing, but what do we make of this" Vykdyti said. On the floor where the note exploded was the symbol of House Draconis burnt on the floor in streaks of black." Balta's face went paler than usual.

Other vampires entered the tower to see what the commotion was about, all of them saw the snake symbol of Clan Draconis emblazoned on the floor. Most of the vampires looked shaken, and Even Balta was caught off guard by the attempted assassination. Not Vykdyti though. Vykdyti saw the mark on ground for what it was.

"This was not just an assassination attempt, this was a message; an attempt to catch Her Majesty off guard." Vykdyti surmised, " and they succeeded. Some of the older vampires recognized the Symbol of House Draconis,

"This has to be some twisted joke; House Draconis doesn't even have any influence here," A bald vampire reasoned

Balta nodded. She attempted to shake the assassination attempt off her mind, but it was a close call. "We can't have an attempted assassination get to our heads, men, we have important work to do," Balta's thoughts inevitably drifted to Lexius. "Throw Lexius in a dungeon cell, in the meantime. Things have changed, men, possibly to our detriment,"

With a nod some of the vampires left, presumably to look for Lexius. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!
