[HQ Ignorance] Scene Five: The Nameless Man Arrives

[Lev Lafayette]

Azhur Sinnersbane, Knight of Loskalm, unfurled the
banner of Red Valor*, in preparation for the Nameless
One and was joined by Aalmon The Bastard who prepared
for negotiation. Judge Kraken paced back and forth,
reciting to himself a litany of crimes that the
Nameless One had allegedly committed. Kalen stood
stoically, even a little confused as his internal
abacus tried to calculate the options availble. In the
mean, Icthya prepared herself for confrontation,
tanuki transformed into a cloak, and she hid among the
reeds and Karala the White Wolf Walker prepared
spiritual defenses. Jareena however, concentrated in
healing Vicetor drawing the chaotic infection away
from his body, as Ureban knelt beside his infected
page.

Suddenly, a mighty gust of wind struck the swampland,
sending pond-scum flying and blinding all those
present with its muck. As the fellowship cleared away
their eyes, the Knight El Grim, stood hovering above
the pond's surface, his eyes rolled back in his head.
A dull grey aura surrounded his body, and the corpus
spoke with an elderly but strong voice.

"I have donated a gift to all of you everything you
know. This gift can fly, this gift can crawl, it is
saved, it is wasted, yet still it eats all."

"When the Kingdoms of Men fight among themselves, the
Kingdom of War will seek peace as Lord Death on a
Horse will bring the greatest of all evils to the
land. So great that it will may even slay me. The
Beastmen shall aise again and the forests shall grow."

"You think the three weapons of Talor are a
greatsword, an axe and a flail? I have come to tell
you that they are not what you think they are."

"Bearer of the banner, you have one chance. Confer
among yourselves, and name me correctly I shall tell
you of their secret of the weapons of Talor for then I
shall know that you are worthy to protect mankind -
for I *am* a man."

* Let's make one of the magical abilities of the
banner "Truce and Negotiation" at 13. I believe that's
two Hero Points?
