PALACE-IRONMOUND
Palacs..after return to ironmound with Tou Folks))))
the group walked down the Road of Kings.. troops were spaced as they would be for the arrival of dignitaries.
Reedrick snorts.....Aint them Tou Bastards already here?
aye.... but they are here for us... though, i do not think its for respect.
..Hey Cousin? Look at some of the troops....
Kree looked from one sides of the Raod..a trooper or a Non Com would stamp thier spear, or thump thier chest over their Heart.
Kree smiled a bit, And PAid more attention, thumping his own heart for each who acknowledge him.
I'm thinking General AxeHandle made sure some of yer one boys are here...
Kree smiled,..Its nice i still have 'boys' in the palace...
at the Bridge a Nice shiny Colonel greeted them.....Greetings, CAptain Quickshadow... you will of course, surrdener your weapons and,,
Ivy whisper,ahh..for fuck's sake....
You are?
I am Colonel Happenster... Late of Engar..I now live in Ironmound.. My Parents are the Heppensters of Jewerly fame in Engar...
The dwarf chuckled in his chest.
Kree wiggled a finger to the colonel and leaned close to him...the Colonel listened .....look?.. This is not Engar.. i don't give one orcshit who your people are... I am Kree fucking Quickshadow , of The Black Timber...former CAptain of the Palace... Captain of the nasty Unit of Crimson Arrows in the Company... now?... you can try to take our weapons...you will die of course.. quite heroic and all that..but?.. why?.. are the Horse Humpers in there armed?
The colonel nodded his head.
..now? as an Engar fellow.. what would happen if you came to the palace, and i wanted to take your weapons..but i let Red Isle Halflings in there with thier weapons...
WHAt!..THEY... kree held a finger to his lips.. the Colonel whispered harshly....they aren't red Isle Haflings!
they are to me and my people?.. they tried to kill us twice..and all they got in return is dead folks....so... i am talkign really nice now..because i do not want you to lose face in front of all these troopers...and.. if you think you have enough troopers here to stop us?..you are wrong..but?..you will be the first to die, so you will enevr see how it turns out...however.. this is your chance to wave us through, ebcause we are 'trusted allies' of the Empire...beats being dead..right?....and..shoudl we behave badly inside the Palace, at elast you can die like a hero infront of lots of people with coin..how does that sound?..hmmm?
The Colonel stepped back and Cleared his throat.....Will we allow these trusted allies of the Empire to keep thier weapons..I have warned them , we will act, should they use them in the Palace...
Kree shifted his eyes to the Colonel and the walked over the Bridge..as they neared the Gate a Captain with a Fancy helmet approached the Group....his smile wide...
Kree and the larger Human hugged...Captain... thank you for not killign the colonel..he has alot to learn...
Captain Antok?... Captain of the Palce Guard...
Better? captain of the Emperor's Body guard..... i can go any damn palce i want, Bed any one's wife i want and eat whatever apples from a merchant's cart I want..no one can touch me...
Ivy chuckles.....damn! free Apples..where do i sign up?
Antok shook wrists with Ivy and Reedrick,,,..lots of new faces , Kree?..lot less familar ones?
some left...some died...some both?..but we are here....
they began to walk into the gates.....not good in there Kree...The High Officer is here himself.. crying about dead Tou people being tossed to the serpents...
yeah?..well.. it wasn't an accident... they came there for me..Mercs and the horsehumpers...
Antok looked.....do they screw thier horses?
of course they do?...did you not ever heard they shout..'Mount up!"
Antok Laughed.. there was the Tou sound being played.....they are entering from the other side...since they 'stayed' in the guests wing.. You'll go in after footman signals...
