The Meeting – Aftermath

“Very good, thank-you for inviting me here. You have very nice chairs.” Eodis remarked as the meeting ended, tapping the arms of his arm with his hands a few times.

Once the meeting had concluded, King Eodis went back home. Prior to the homecoming, his royal bodyguard were busy wrestling, boxing and sparring with the Dwarven soldiers, and much to their surprise, the Dwarves were often more than able to stand up to their taller, animalistic opponents. The stockiness of the Dwarves gave them good centre of gravity, quickness, and dodging, capable of swiftly diving into legs, head-butting into jaws, tripping, and body shots. Of course, the combat was rather light, only semi-violent, as both sides developed a respect for one another.

The Grays did their preferred style of aggressive charging, but the Dwarven guards, being professional soldiers, often simply whirled around the Gray, grappling from behind or tripping the Minotaur. A few Dwarves managed to grab a Gray's horns, wrenching the head sideways and taking him down. Some Grays, with their height, managed to get into a clinch, and with their lean arms, quickly were able to utilize arm locks or pushing the head back to take down a Dwarf, and both sides learned from one another.

After all that, Eodis returned to his men, they took their belongings, equipped themselves, and headed for the exit before nightfall. They thanked their guides, whoever they were, and headed home at that, just like that. Grays were quite impulsive and upbeat, preferring frequent activity. They excitedly went home, jogging all night, resting during the day, and jogging during the night, their preferred travelling when in dangerous territory. Fortunately, very few enemy Gray warbands would dare fight the king himself, for many did not wear armour, and solid metal armour offered the ability to fend off a vast horde of unarmoured enemies.

Once returning home with a few weeks or so, for Eodis and his bodyguard had excellent stamina and could run all night, every night, Eodis prepared his citadel, Stoneheart, for military training. He wanted to increase the number of militia, train them better, and have surplus armour and weapons for civil defence. He also sent several groups of fifty Grays to serve as emissaries, spies and scouts to nearby clans, to get more info, as well as see how many other factions of Grays were willing to fight in foreign land. That is, see if they could fight under one banner.

* * *

Down south, most of the Grays near Goerack territory seemed to have been busy over the past few months. They did not make any further attacks into Tanik Forest, but instead, had scouted the outskirts consistently. What ever happened during this time within the forest was not known to the Grays; perhaps the legionnaires and Goeracks made peace.

It was just that the Grays noticed the foreign army of humans by staring from above the hilltops and mountainous terrain, and as such, remained extra cautious; thus, they decided to stay defensive for a while, until they were absolutely certain that the human army would either disappear within the forest, or disappear somewhere else. Almost all Grays never seen horses before, let alone cavalry, and the uniformity of the army was unusual and worrisome for the Grays. They would wait.

Another Night of Over-the-Top Pranks



Samanju had been waiting weeks for Eodis to return to Stonehart he flew to Stoneheart every night to see if Eodis was there. Tonight would prove Samanju was a master of patience.
During the days, Samanju was hunting and collecting pieces of meat and placing them in bags He carried two bags worth of meat- 128 pieces of meat to be exact, Samanju loved this recent idea of his. He would leave the meat in random places all over Stonheart late at night.

for the past two weeks, Samanju's pranks have been leaving the people of Stoneheart on edge, one notable example is when Samanju snuck into the bedroom of a Female Gray and stole some her clothing and her husband's armor. Another is when he stole a blacksmiths working tools.

This night presented Samanju two tasks: one, Place the meat at random places all over Stoneheart. His second task was to find some way to annoy the Grays, and he had just the solution. He placed twenty four pieces of meat all over the roofs of houses overlooking the market, fifty six pieces of meat on the roof of The Citadel, forty pieces of meat on the tops of towers on the battlements, and eight pieces of meat into the farms of other Greys.

All Teccans have another incredible talent, and he was going to use this to annoy the hell out of the Greys: They can scream loud enough to burst ear drums. And he knew just wear to do this: By Eodis's window. He cleared his throat, Took a deep breath. And screamed so loud that windows all over Stoneheart shattered. And for five minutes screamed. And then flew away back to his nest in the forest. The morning brought another surprise: Stoneheart was under siege by thousands of yeti- attracted by the smell of meat this Te*can left behind... And that is where we leave our tale for now...

Stoneheart

An annoying flappy thing was leaving pieces of meat on various places in the Gray city; the Grays replied by taking, cooking, and eating the meat, using ladders when necessary. During the scavenging, a Gray female had her clothes stolen, and her husband, a militiaman, lost his armour (where it is now is anybody's guess). But at least they got free food. A blacksmith's tools were also taken.

Teccans can also screech so loud that they burst eardrums, though that didn't happen to any Gray, as that's an exaggeration. Nevertheless, the operatic screeching was so powerful that it could crack glass, and many windows shattered, except that Grays don't know how to make glass, so no windows cracked. Grays' windows consist of tight-fitting hatches in their walls, filled-in with stones between basketwork-like holders.

Samaju flew to Eodis' window in the citadel, and perched upon it, screeched into it. With a single breath, he screamed for five minutes straight, 300 seconds straight, much to the amusement of Eodis' three daughters, who found it funny and jumped with joy, fuzzy little bodies shifting in their pyjamas, their little horns knocking against each other. Eodis went into his bedroom to see what was going on, and just saw his daughters happily bobbing about with an idiot birdy creature by his window, head tilting wildly to and fro while vibrating.

“Mmk, whatever.” Eodis remarked, and left his room.

The Te*can suddenly stopped and flew away; the three Gray children stopped, at the same time, and wondered why their pet disappeared. They then started crying.

Anyways, the smell of the meat attracted the attention of a few thousand yetis (possibly an exaggeration), somehow, perhaps because the Grays cooked so much meat that the scent was too powerful to ignore. Although Grays often eat veggies and greens, they had no problem eating meat.

The militia was alarmed and they ran to equip themselves. Typical Gray tactics was to utilize the entire population in civil defence; citizen went into their homes, locked the doors, and awaited the coming assault. They could suddenly open their windows and attack with spears through them, or entire households would suddenly open and those inside would charge with axes, hammers, knives, clubs, adzes, or any other improvised weapon.

The militia and volunteers rallied to the outer gatehouses and outer walls, to defend them; huge baskets, barrels, crates and whatnot lined the battlements, filled with small boulders and stones, to be used as simplistic but deadly missiles. The inner gatehouses were left alone. Nobles, who could afford at least swords and shields, would protect the inner city if necessary.

A few thousand yetis appeared in a vast horde. The yetis were snowy abominable snowman apes, almost as big as Goerack alphas. They howled, snarled and roared, ready to besiege the city with, well, their bare hands.

Suddenly, Samanju flew across the sky like a magnificent eagle, and crowed at the yetis briefly. It wasn't even a loud caw, but it caused an avalanche from the glaciers somehow, which within two seconds reached Stoneheart and buried the yetis, crushing them to death. Fortunately, the wedge-shaped citadel and its two walls dissipated the force of the avalanche, causing it to spread asunder, thus nothing was damaged. Vast amounts of snow piled all around the city, reaching the tops of the walls and hurling snow everywhere. There was now no more snow left in the mountains until next winter.

With nothing to do, the Gray citizens and militia took shovels and removed snow from their walls and homes if necessary, while Gray kids had snowball fights, made snowmen, made snow forts, and whatnot. Avalanches in this area did not uncommonly kill many living things unprepared for such catastrophe, though such events were rare.

Thus was the day that Samaju trolled Grays, resulting in the deaths of thousands of yetis.

All about Teccans:

So as I suggested I think I should go into Teccans just a bit more. Like I said, They Are birdmen, You know their general appearance, and that No one is sure from where they came from. So I am just going to make a few things clear: Teccans can scream VERY loudly, But Samanju is one of those rare Teccans that can shatter glass and burst eardrums with his screams. (This is usually done to alert other Te*can tribes of Emergencies such as child abduction) Teccans have very good hearing, sneaking up on them is just about impossible. Here are ten things that I should have mentioned when I first made the bio. 1: The Teccans have their own leader, they do not conform to the Osgalethan Eldrancy. This Te*can is Known as the Tibek-Arasun. And he determines who marries whom, he takes the position of judge at trials among the Te*can people, he mediates with other Te*can Chieftains during disputes, and he is very old. 2) Teccans worship Mount Siyanthine as a god. 3) In order to get in the good graces of The Eldrancy, The Tibek-Arasun created a battalion of Te*can troops for Osgalethe 4) The Tibek Arasun is a friend to High Elder Ardithitine and is loyal only to him when it comes to Osgalethan matters. 5) Teccans make great thieves since they can fly 6) Since They can fly many Teccans are arrogant and view every groundling as inferior. 7) Teccans are very protective of their young and will physically attack anyone who is scaring their children 8) Te*can talons and beaks are sharp enough to puncture many armors 9) Teccans talk fast, think fast, move fast, they talk very loudly, and they are very meticulous about details, if something is not to their specifications, they get very angry . 10) in exchange for bringing Osgalethan's Supplies (often stolen from other kingdoms), Osgalethans have given Teccans 73 Islands to inhabit and rebuild their numbers. Why is that, because their race was almost destroyed by a brutal civil war in their homeland.

A Change Of Heart Part II


Ardithitine's diplomat was none other than his son, Cyrus Ardithitine, a man known for keeping his composure, He is also supreme Commander of the Malcon Draconis. His Trireme bore the Seal of the Malcon Draconis - A sleeping black dragon. Cyrus's Ship arrived unscheduled, and many were curious about why such a ship was docked in Daralt, perhaps. As Cyrus disembarked, many were in awe of the opulent armor this elf was wearing, Cyrus' Assignment: Forge an alliance with Sorusia- such a thing had not been done in 200 years, Osgalethe's Proximity to Sorusia made it a ripe target for Cidius should war break out. Instead of the guards approaching him, Cyrus approached them, brushing off the customs officials as unimportant. "Greetings, I am Cyrus Ardithitine, son of the High Elder of Osgalethe, here on the official orders of the Osgalethan Eldrancy, to forge an alliance with the Sorusians" Unsure what to do, the guards stood still.

Damas

Vilkar sat upon his throne, thinking about the situation and the possible means of handling everything. His advisors had filled him in on what had happened in the city while he was away. Everything seemed fine, there were no major issues and the minor ones were handled by his eldest son Brandon. Brandon was now handling war preparations, organizing the stockpiles of supplies and production of weapons as well as the recruitment and training of new soldiers. Meanwhile his third son Julius would take Brandon’s place in assisting with the management of Londor.

Just then the doors to the throne room swung open and in strode a half giant woman, half a foot shorter than Vilkar, but somehow more imposing. She wore armor made of elephant leather, a rarity, as elephants were considered sacred due to their higher level of intelligence compared to most animals, though she had acquired it through an exceptional case. The hardened leather was more flexible than metal but it was tough enough reduce the damage of most attacks to nothing more than a nuisance for a half giant. Strung across her back was a great bow that looked like it packed about as much power as a ballista.

Vilkar’s daughter, Andrea, walked to the center of the room, appearing visibly angry. “I heard we’re planning on a defensive campaign. Why? Even one regiment of our soldiers could drive their armies back,” Andrea demanded.

Vilkar frowned, “The Sorusians are more powerful than that, daughter. Besides there’s more to winning a war than just winning the battles. We are in no immediate danger, and fielding armies on the offensive will be expensive for us.”

“Our country is in its prime right now. We have the expenses to spare. It*s cowardly to hide behind our allies and pray the Sorusians never make it this far.*

“We do plan to assist the dwarves. We’ll be sending a number of soldiers to help in the defense of Dormoor; however, we’ll be on the defensive. The further into enemy territory we march the harder it will be to supply our soldiers. If we advance too recklessly our soldiers will be more likely to die of starvation than battle.”

“I’ll go then. I can hunt; I can fend for myself.”

*What do you hope to achieve against the empire by yourself?”

“Not alone. I’ll fight with the dwarves.”

Vilkar let out a sigh. “I don’t think you fully comprehend the reality of war, Andrea, but if you insist on being involved in this conflict I’ll allow you to go with a regiment of soldiers to defend Dormoor. That being said you’re to follow the captain’s orders to the letter and you’re job will purely be to defend the dwarves’ territory. Maybe once you see the fighting up close you’ll understand.

Andrea gave no more than a forceful huff in reply and stalked out of the chamber. Vilkar turned to his advisor, “Send word to King Horic. Whenever he has space ready to accommodate the soldiers, we’ll send a regiment of one thousand soldiers to assist in preparing defenses and fighting off the Sorusians if they attempt another assault.” The advisor nodded and walked off briskly to write the letter.
