[HQ Ignorance] Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : Re : Scene 122: The Tower of the General

[Loran]

Let's play the game ordered by the dices... no HP there, but more developments.



[IC]

Kingly, Azhur bowed to the General in a sign of mutual recognition of their social positions.

- "General, my fellowship and me were drawn there against our own will by the mysterious magic of the Planes. Elsewhere, I'm fighting the Annihilation of my own lands by the cursed Kingdom of War and currently I'm a kind of adviser for the Pretender of the Kralori throne against the efforts of a so said evil Magician... Seeing a parallel between here and there I went to you to offer my services... the reason why is quite obvious..."

He turned then to the window and showed the gaping wound in the broken sky fabric.
- "This awful mark is a sign of the coming oblivion of Puppetland and my main concern now. I'm here to help people to save their places because I believe each place is linked to my reality and If I can help here I may also help there... Honor commands leaders beyond their own wishes I suppose. That's for my reasons and my motivations... What's yours, General ? Why are you seeking power at the price of the lives of all your would-be-subjects?"


[OOC]
And for numbers, I propose:
- Bring Justice in remote Areas 13 (I think that we can qualify Puppetland as a "remote area"...)
Augmented with :
- Questing 17
- Charitable 17
- Loyal 17
