[Fyros] The Empire's Shield: The Thesos stockpile Robbery (2019-10-25) - EVENTS

#1 Added by Ghost of Atys 5 years ago Multilingual

Bending over her desk, Ibiritis Ibirus studied the plans of the future ramparts of Thesos. The work was progressing well and the strategist was beginning to regain hope. After all these years, the work had resumed and the construction phases followed one another without too many clashes. A first incursion had damaged the first phase of the construction site, but the marauders had not reappeared aroud Thesos since.

Ibiritis made her mind wander on the colours of the old map painted on the wood. Things were definitely looking good. The strategist could rest and let herself slip into some reverie.

“Gladumakos? Strategist?”

Ibiritis looked up at the soldier who had just come in.

“Yes Thecaon?
— A message from our spies, Gladumakos. There would be movement among the Marauders. Chei...” The soldier reread the note. “...Pui-Yan is gathering the Clans. Apparently he would send them here to harm the ramparts construction site.
— akep Thecaon. I will go to Pyr as soon as possible to ask sharükos for some troops to reinforce Thesos. Does the spy specify when the attack will take place?
— Well... it would be imminent Gladumakos. In fact, according to the spy, the Marauders should already be here.”

Ibiritis Ibirus jumped up.

“detal! And you couldn't begin with that?! Tell the soldiers to gather around! And tell Lykidix to regroup all the Patriots he will find in Thesos. No, not just the Patriots. He must bring all those who do not wear a marauder armor in front of the ramparts! gey-gey-zakün!!”

As the imperial soldier stormed out of the fortress, Ibiritis grabbed her heavy Stavon sword. Never rest, never daydream.

“ramèch!”

Ibiritis Ibirus war im Ganzen mehr als zufrieden.

Mit einer Handvoll Verteidiger, die Sie nach der Warnung ihrer Spione sammeln konnte, hatten sie es geschafft, den Versuch der Marodeure, die Baustelle zu plündern, zu vereiteln.

Da die Klans der Marodeure ihre Packer nicht bergen konnten, ließen sie diese zurück, ebenso wie die Fracht, die ihr Mektoub-Treiber irgendwie in die Packtaschen geladen hatte.

Aber die Clans hatten sich erst zurückgezogen, als sie in der Lage waren, den Ressourcen ernsthaften Schaden zuzufügen: Öl und Sap sind aus zerkleinerten Gläsern entwichen und dringen nun in das Sägemehl ein, Holzkisten wurden umgestürzt und der Inhalt wurde in Stücke gerissen.

Trotz ihrer Schmähung - oder vielleicht auch deswegen, dachte Sie - kam der Schadensbericht nur schleppend, was kein gutes Omen war. Möglicherweise muss Sie die Patrioten erneut auffordern, die Verluste schnell auszugleichen. Oder noch schlimmer.... und um die Hilfe der Rindengräber flehen.

Doch etwas Beunruhigenderes lag Ihr auf der Seele: die Anwesenheit dieses riesigen Homins an der Spitze der Marodeure - womöglich ein Zorai angesichts seiner Größe und seines schleppenden Gangs - völlig verborgen unter einer roten Rüstung. Sie hatte ihn noch nie zuvor gesehen, aber Sie hatte viel von ihm gehört.

Der erste Offizier von Akilia Aschenstrum, die Scharlachrote, ist zurück.

- ... Ibiritis?

Her face crimson, her jaw clenched, Ibiritis Ibirus gazed up at his interlocutor with shining anger.
- Their conditions are unacceptable, Gramald. How can they expect me to agree?
- They know we are in need....
- I can tell ! But it won't happen !
- Do I need to remind you that the sharükos is getting imp...

Iribitis slammed her desk with her fist.
- The sharükos is not the only one getting impatient!

Gramald Xarius held Ibiritis' gaze, but showed no other reaction to the strategist's vehemence.
It was better to let the storm pass. After a few minutes of heavy silence, he resumed in a calm voice.

- Should I inform the Barkers' tribe that we reject the terms of their offer?

Ibiritis considered her options. The academician was right: they were stretched to the very limit. However....

- No, try to temporize. Let us first address the patriots. Our needs are not that huge, are they?
- A handful of motivated volunteers could surely manage to gather what we need in a reasonable time, but....
- Very well. Make a proclamation to that end. If I can avoid resorting to Pebus Ibiraan, I'll be better off. And Gralmald....
- Yes?
- Plan broadly. Let's get this over with!
- Obviously!

Gramald Xarius nodded curtly at the strategist and took his leave.

That very evening, posters appeared in all the Empire's gathering places.

Patriots, Friends of the Empire,

The last marauder attack at Thesos seriously depleted the Empire's Shield's resource supplies, preventing the construction of the very last rampart from being launched.

Once again, the sharük is calling for your help to gather the necessary materials to complete the last set of towers.

Here is the list of materials required:

- Choice desert wood, Motega or Tama, quality 200 or higher: 20,000
- Choice desert sap, Visc or Silverweed, quality 200 or higher: 5,000
- Choice desert oil, quality 200 or higher: 15,000
- Timari skin, quality 150 or higher: 2,500
- Varinx ligament, quality 150 or higher: 4,000

These materials will have to be delivered to Aemodon Apotis, at the base of Thesos fortress.

Sharük Pyrèkud!

Gramald Xarius
Imperial Academician
Chamber of Honour, Chair of the Shield
