[Fyros] Empire’s Shield : « Towers ! » (2019/01/28) - EVENTS

#1 Added by Arionasis 6 years ago Multilingual

Attracted by growls and other vituperations, Euton Krinn read a poster on the walls of Pyr.

Oren pyr,
Patriots, Desert inhabitants and Empire’s friends, the time has come to launch the last stage of work for the greater glory of the Empire. Meet me by Thesos citadel on 21h - Tria, Medis 15, 4th AC 2601(*). Under the strict supervision of Ibiritis Ibirus, Thesos strategos, I will unveil the plans for the last fortifications of Thesos and we will launch the campaign for gathering materials for the buildings.

Iribitus Iribus, Thesos strategos
Gramald Xarius, Imperial Academist, Chamber of Honor

He burst out laughing, but with an anxious look around him, he reverted quickly to a worried face. It was better not to make fun of them, city dwellers could be very sensitive. He will soon be back in his Barkers tribe and could laugh more and more at the so-called patriots reluctance to build a few towers. How would they have built Pyr without the Barkers?

Here is a summary of what happened in the first part of the event: The Empire's shield: Towers!

Gramald Xarius gathered Patriots in Thesos and announced the amount of materials needed for the construction of the eleven remnant towers:

300 000 Motega or Tama choice wood , 60 000 Visc or Silverweed sap , 170 000 choice oil, all of that at quality 200 or higher, and 4000 ligaments of Varinx, 2500 Timari skins, at quality 150 or higher.

Due to the huge amount, some patriots decided to ask for the Barkers' help.
For the patriots willing to forage, Gramald Xarius promised they will be able to deposit their materials in Thesos in a few days.

Pebus Iriraan, Barkers chief, asked the Patriots to help them find Icala Perimenix, one of their overseer who had disappeared. They would then provide the foraging materials. The patriots could take care of the hunting ones.

Patriots went to Barkgully and talked to Iocamus Miros, an old overseer. While they were talking, the foragers caused a Kamiblast, thankfully without too much damages. Finally, they learned that Icala and Xycaron Theron were sent into Outlaw Canyon a few days ago to test the bark for forage materials.

At the end of a ramp for Outlaw Canyon, the patriots found Xycaron Theron in a pitiful condition. They were assaulted a few days ago by the Lawless, he had managed to flee but Icala was probably still held by them.

For scenario balance, we proposed you to start from here, even if something has already be done in Lawless tribe.
The meeting point will be at the kami altar in Sawdust Mines on Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:00:00 UTC (6 years ago).

Here is a summary of what happened in the second part of the event: The Empire's shield: Towers!

The next step for the Patriots and their allies was therefore clear: to go to the camp of the Lawless and free Icala Perimenix from their grasp.

The Lawless did not give them a chance to try a diplomatic approach: they attacked the Patriots on sight.

The fight was fierce, but considering the many Lawless corpses littering her camp, Ulythus Apocaps, their leader, finally agreed to engage in a dialogue. Although very reluctant, she eventually revealed the location of Icala Perimenix to them: the camp of the Buccaneers, notorious bandits operating in the region and settled somewhere south of the Dragon's Spine.

When they arrived on the outskirts of the bandit camp, the Buccaneers and a handful of Lawless were waiting for them.

The clash was intense, but they finally found Icala Perimenix who had been held in a tent.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, many Lawless warriors jumped on them. The trap was close to being fatal for the Patriots and their allies, but they withdrew and charged back, eliminating the last guards and releasing the prisoner, for good this time.

They then escorted her to the Barkers' camp, where Pebus Iriraan, the tribe's chief, welcomed them with great relief, happy to see his overseer alive.

He confirmed that he would fulfill his share of the deal and that the Barkers would provide them with the materials they needed.

Sitting in the shade of an awning, Aemodon Apotis was worried and this made him grumpy.

The call to patriots had finally had an unexpected effect: an agreement had been reached with the Barkers to supply a large volume of materials. The tribe's immense know-how in drilling was recognized throughout the empire : the great city of Pyr itself would probably never have been built without them. But it was usually not easy to get their help.

However, days passed, then weeks, and if Aemodon was happy to receive the building materials brought by the patriots, it was still far from being enough. And the Barkers had still not shown up. What was she going to say to Gramald Xarius when he would ask about the progress of the project?

Someone swore next to her, then another one. Eyes wide open, all present homins were staring at something in the distance, behind him. Turning around, Aemodon Apotis quickly realized what she was seeing. Leaving the nearby dunes, a long procession of mektoubs progressed towards Thesos.

After the first moments of stupor, the guards came to their senses and pulled out their weapons, ready to face the incoming threat.

Aemodon's wrinkled lips turned into a bright smile as he recognized the colours worn by their visitors.

- "Calm down !" she shouted, raising her hand towards the guards. "Looks like the Barkers have finally decided to pay us a visit!"

When the convoy arrived within earshot, Aemodon stepped forward and met the leader, whose face looked familiar to him.

- Oren pyr!
- Oren pyr! Are you Aemodon Apotis?
- That's me.
- I am Euton Krinn. From the Barkers tribe. I bring you the first part of the building materials your friends have asked us for.

Aemodon Apotis looked away for a moment to assess the number of pack animals, rather large.

- The... first part?
- Ney. Wood, oil, sap. 15,000. Of each.
- Good!.... Good! That's great news. I'll send people to help unload.
- Hem. It's been a long ride and my people and I wouldn't mind some refreshments, if you know what I mean.
- Oh! Of course, of course!

After a brief break to cool off, Barkers and Thesos workers were soon on the job to unload the cargo and store it under the main awning, while Aemodon Apotis invited Euton Krinn to sit nearby to discuss in the shade of the sun.

- Do you know when the next delivery is due?
- One week, maybe less, depending on Icala.
- ... Icala?
- Icala Perimenix, one of our overseers. The one your friends freed from the claws of the Lawless. She is organizing the collection of materials for the next delivery as we speak.
- Ha, great news! That's great news! *getting up* I' m going to check that everything is going well !

Aemodon Apotis was reassured. Construction may soon resume. But her work was not finished: she now had to ensure the quality of the materials supplied and make an accurate count.

Pyntis Cean was browsing the many messages received this morning. Monopolized by her filing work, she startled sharply as the door of her office opened violently, and in a reflex movement, she sent the stack of messages in front of her flying through the room.

On the threshold stood Gramald Xarius, her boss, so to speak, short-breathed, crimson-faced and whose features betrayed a barely contained anger.

Gramald Xarius "Cean! How is it going in Thesos?" he barked at his subordinate.
Pyntis Cean "Well… we received the… last report from Intendant Apo…"
Gramald Xarius "… And what were you waiting for to give it to me?! You know I have Strategos Iribus on my back!"

Not abandoning her calm, Pyntis Cean got up and picked up the parchment bearing the mark of Thesos, which had crossed the whole room to land at the feet of Gramald Xarius. Standing up, she handed it to him in a measured gesture, but her black eyes and tight jaw denied her apparent calm.

Pyntis Cean "You were already in an interview with the Strategos, so I couldn't…."
Gramald Xarius "… Yes, well, she has just made me aware of the full extent of her "patience", and I would have been fine without it, believe me!"

Still grumbling, but gradually regaining his composure, Gramald Xarius grabbed the parchment and browsed it quickly.

Gramald Xarius "Well, at least the news is encouraging…."
Pyntis Cean "Pretty much! But I wonder if it's not a little embellished. How is it possible…."
Gramald Xarius (sweeping the remark away) "Well, they're the Barkers. Their reputation is well established. Hmm. However, this last delivery was much lighter than the previous ones. How far have we got since the start?"

Pyntis Cean headed for her desk and, recalling the academician's crashing entrance, finally turned her eyes to the cluttered floor.

Pyntis Cean "Ha, here it is!" she said as she grabbed a faded parchment and scrolled it down to read it.

Pyntis Cean "The Barkers have made 4… no… 5 deliveries including the latest one. According to the data provided by Intendant Apotis, they gave us… (quickly computing) 190,000 units of wood... 130,000 units of oil and... 30,000 units of sap."
Pyntis Cean "To that, of course, are added the resources handed by patriots."

Gramald Xarius "Still about 100,000 units of wood and 30,000 units of oil, so." (slightly sighing) "Well, I'm going back to complete my report to Strategos Ibirus."

As he walked through the door frame, Gramald Xarius turned around to look at the papers scattered all over the room and sent a sheepish smile to his assistant.

Gramald Xarius "Akep!" he said, shaking the Thesos' report over his head.
Pyntis Cean "Oràch!"

Then he rushed into the hallway and disappeared from Pyntis Cean's sight.

Pyntis Cean "Well…" (noticing the state of her office) "I only have to start all over again…."
