At a Campfire
The clearing narrows somewhat, the bushes seem to not grow here as much, and
crowd near the tree line. There is an old fire pit here, with some old burnt
logs in it. Over the pit, there is a spit set up as if whoever was here last
had to leave fast. The coals have almost turned into ash.

Alec stops resting, and clambers on his feet.


Alec leans his back against a tree, folding his arms in front of him.


You say 'Your campaigning in the north has been successful, Hundredman?'


Alec looks at Hayato intently.


Hayato speaks sternly 'For the night yes, Many foul beast has been felled, and ive still got both legs to walk on'


Hayato traces a new scar down the right side of his face.


Alec smiles, showing his perfectly white teeth.


You say 'You enemies will fear those scars, Child Hayato.'


Hayato speaks sternly 'New scar for the collection, from a nasty beast wearing the markings of the Ghob'hlin'


Hayato speaks sternly 'Aye, gives them something to look out for'


Alec nods grimly.


You say 'And reminds them of their comrades that you have slain.'


Hayato gives a slight grin, not quite a smile but a faint touch of amusement.


You say 'To what purpose were we called here, Child Hundredman.'


Hayato speaks sternly 'Diplomacy of course, always diplomacy'


You nod in agreement.


Hayato scratches his head and lets out a sigh.


Alec nods slowly and thoughtfully.


Hayato speaks sternly 'Ill be quite blunt here, we are positioned next to the hornets nest, with people watching us from the south and the north'


You say 'We must be brief, my squadron has been tasked on a mission.'


Alec looks at you.


Hayato speaks sternly 'What we need is terms, that put us in good footing with the Queens guard, and the Borderlanders'


You say 'Ah, yes. Child Alec and I were speaking of this earlier.'


Alec speaks up, leaning forward slightly, 'Perhaps the best way is to suggest a joint operation against the black tower?'


You say 'Child Alec, were you able to speak with Heritage?'


Alec shakes his head.


Hayato speaks sternly 'What I am proposing to the both of you, as my most trusted comrades is to think of something that can solidify an agreement with these groups'


Alec says 'No, I was not.'


Hayato speaks sternly 'For the time being we of course would not hunt the witches on their grounds, but still they are not trusting, even with us slaving up north in the blight protecting the lands'



Alec nods slowly and thoughtfully.


You say 'We can always threaten to relieve them of their sovereignty, Hundredman Hayato... '


Alec smirks.


Hayato speaks sternly 'Weve not the manpower or resources for that for the time being unfortanately'


You nod in agreement.


You say 'For now.'


Hayato sits back and waits for some ideas to start rolling.


You say 'What issue would there be.'


You say 'We need a scandal.'


Alec looks at You, confused.


Hayato looks on slightly interested.


You say 'Something that will make the other nations look weak if they do not take a stand against the Black Tower.'
