Pointing to Germ, "What are you and why are you even here?"

"You are already in one, don't you know?" El-Alquist snaps his fingers and all doors in the chamber shits tight and then open again, and all the doors lead to nowhere other than the room they are already in. "Magic. Poof. You cannot go anywhere unless you destroy the source of this power. Me. If you can." winks El-Alquist.

"This is the next safest place in Spesialia outside the Capital. He is safe with us, we will look after him. Perhaps if he is lucky enough, his name can be inked in our historic annals of <Residents of Oswain's Penitentiary, Obituaries. Eckmar Mot and his pet, Grigorlis.>"

Good question even I don't know. And if I did I would not even tell you "xenophobic clowns" anything.

:wacko: Did ,did he just tell us what to do next. Then pull out some venom and dumps it out all over his wrench. And drinks another potion.

Are we going to have to save this Grigorils too? Hey, what about our names aren't they going in this "record book" of yours?

"If you understand how the world works, you will realise that there is a role for every individual, tribe and race. Your ancestors originate underneath the surface, in mountains, in caves, in quarries, and this is how the world works. Dwarves are dwarves. Do you realise by emerging from the surface, your ancestors are actually disrupting the balance of life? Some are destined to be under the surface, some are not and the Gods has set everything perfect in place, for us to govern, not destroy. Just like our great race, The Star Elves, we observe our roles. We were born as warriors, and we live, train and die as one. Our great General is one role model to follow, both in nobility and as a warrior. And we do not live for reward, we live because it is our duty to fulfil our roles in our society. Our duty is to protect our people, those behind the dome, who have their individual roles to fulfil. We get our enjoyment when as a society, we succeed as one. That is what our Gods intended for us, and we seek pleasure from it."

"I take it you've never heard of a Dark Dwarf, have you? They usually have blackened or gray skin, barbaric folk. They are feral if anything. Dwarves are born particularly in the same way... sort of. We do have a knack for engineering, mining, and metallurgy. We were born from the ground, that is all we know. My ancestors have surfaced in search of more ores, better ores. The Dark Dwarves are what you'd call raider and thieves." Mhinak thinks of something quite similar. "You know, that reminds me of what I have learned from friends and scholars. Fenarians were once Star Elves. Just like how Dark Dwarves were originally Dwarves. They changed because they had different ideas. Bottom line is, they are still our relatives, no matter how much we may hate it. You Star Elves have something special with your Fenarian relatives. Me and my kin, I think we've lost the Dark Dwarves ages ago. Though, my cousin is born from Dwarf and Dark Dwarf blood, even he can be hard to get through. Most Dark Dwarves don't want to reason, or they lost their sense to reason. Do you understand what I'm getting at? Work together, make Spesialia better. I would help with my cause but I have a different passion... besides inventing and tinkering, of course." Mhinak says with a somewhat enthused tone mixed with a bit of depression.

"Dwarves don't live long enough to understand that. All you think about is treasure, precious rocks and tinkering. That is what your race is intended to do right? Not going about trespassing into the property of others, agree? What do you gain from helping the Fenarians?" Pointing to Bain and Naîm, "They neglected their fundamental duties to the society, all because of greed, lust and selfishness. Look at all the ruins and wastelands outside this prison, do you think the Gods wanted all these viable land to go to waste? It wasn't previously, until the Fenarians, decided all that they are given isn't good enough. Obviously fulfilling their role underground isn't good enough, and who are they blaming? Us? The Gods?" Pointing to Miderun, "I have heard of the war between the orcs and humans, what is your role in your clan? Why are you here?" Pointing to Bobby, Kiray and Elnath, "And what about humans? Role as a performer, housemaker or magician?" Pointing to Germ, "What are you and why are you even here?" And finally pointing to Inki, "This beast should be hunting in the forest, as a predator, not here, behind walls made of stone."

"We live for half a millennium, which is long compared to other races, like Humans or Gnomes. You see, treasure, precious rocks, and tinkering is an ordinary Dwarf's livelihood. What else do you think Dwarves are supposed to underground? We're practically isolated from the outside world. I just want to help you guys realize that, despite your differences, you can have a mutual relationship with your Fenarian cousins. They can be reasoned with unlike the Dark Dwarf cousins us Dwarves have. We are actually in Spesialia to return something. Then we met Inki and the Guardians and I offered to help them return the Brown Nekrastone. You might not enjoy hearing this because of your praise to Latte Oswain but he stopped us and claimed it was his duty to return it, not any of us. I just want to return these items, recover the Brown Nekrastone for the Krimwood Guardians, and go home!" Mhinak grumbles in a somber manner.

Bain hisses, and pulls out her dagger,

"Hypocrites! Where is Eckmar?"

"This is the next safest place in Spesialia outside the Capital. He is safe with us, we will look after him. Perhaps if he is lucky enough, his name can be inked in our historic annals of <Residents of Oswain's Penitentiary, Obituaries. Eckmar Mot and his pet, Grigorlis.>"

“Selfishness, greed and lust?” Na’im says incredulously “Nay major, my peoples quarrel with the star elves lies only with their choice of queen, one who sees fit to use Assassins and brute force to enforce her tyranny across Spelesia. Only when a Fenari sits on the throne of Valastra will my people lay down their weapons with good grace. I no longer have the stomach to call myself Fenari upon account of the abuses I have suffered at the hands of my people, but from my own experiences, I would rather help a Fenarian trickster than a star elf-for at least then you know when the Fenarian will betray you! You talk of Gods but I ask you this: Where is your God now? Why did she not come down and protect your territories from destruction by my people all those years ago? Why still has she not removed the Feanarian blight from Spelesia altogether so you can walk the vales in peace once more? You speak of Gods like a child-perhaps these are matters best left to your clerics and astrologers while you focus on bashing heads together, or torturing innocent Fenarians, or whatever else you spend your watches doing.” Na’im finishes in a mocking tone

Once he is finished Na’im pauses for breath and restores Germ to full health

"I am sure you are men of battle and show great promise on the battlefield but I assure you have met your match. We need but one man and then we shall leave. I would rather things did not come to blows between us, for you all seem great warriors yet so are many among our company, in ways you cannot even imagine. Tell your men to stand down majors.” says Na’im In a friendlier but still unyielding tone

"Easy, everyone," Kiray advises the party, and the Star Elves. "All of our tempers are starting to get a little hot. Miderun, do you have anything to say?"

Yzalirk · August 21, 2015

"My temper has died down since we spoke to Oswain." Mhinak sighs. "I'm just trying to be logical with these Star Elves, that's all."

**KotZ** · August 21, 2015

"My temper has died down since we spoke to Oswain." Mhinak sighs. "I'm just trying to be logical with these Star Elves, that's all."

"Wasn't speaking directly to you, Mhinak," Kiray whispers to the dwarf.

CMP · August 21, 2015

"Easy, everyone," Kiray advises the party, and the Star Elves. "All of our tempers are starting to get a little hot. Miderun, do you have anything to say?"

"A lot. But I usually let me weapons do that for me." Miderun glares at the Star Elves.

Pointing to Miderun, "I have heard of the war between the orcs and humans, what is your role in your clan? Why are you here?"

"Delivering justice. That's our role. Gods are not meant to lead and coddle, something they will see the error of shortly," snapped the orc.

**Zepher** · August 21, 2015

Bobby slides towards the door in case he should need to flee. He keeps his eye on Miderun and Kiray... hoping one might smooth things over, and the other might not screw things up...

But of course, peeking through the doors he discovers they lead to no where. He shakes his head and pushes forward.

"Yo, my name is Bobby. Maybe we can all chat and figure out what's good. We're heroes of Heroica, yo! We can be pals with any old dude."

Enceladus · August 21, 2015

"Easy, everyone," Kiray advises the party, and the Star Elves. "All of our tempers are starting to get a little hot. Miderun, do you have anything to say?"

"Nothing like a little logic to keep the party in one piece lady Nayasto!" Says Na'im with a demented smile, shaking all over with the force of keeping a cool head "But what logic will use when these star elves try to take in lady Bain and myself in the name of their God, as they inevitably will. Look at the facts presented to us lady Nayasto, we are trapped in a room with four religious zealots, who hate last Bain and myself for what we we represent: do you really believe we can all walk out of this chamber in one piece?"

**Zepher** · August 21, 2015

"I dunno, bro," says Bobby over his shoulder as quietly as possible. "But you didn't meet Latte, dude. That guy could mess us up no problem."

Yzalirk · August 21, 2015

"These elves seem different... almost in a good way, compared to Latte at least. Latte would rather put us on the chopping block first then speak later."

**KotZ** · August 21, 2015

"These elves seem different... almost in a good way, compared to Latte at least. Latte would rather put us on the chopping block first then speak later."

"Agreed," Kiray concurs. "These ones seem docile compared to Latte."

Enceladus · August 21, 2015

"These elves seem different... almost in a good way, compared to Latte at least. Latte would rather put us on the chopping block first then speak later."

"Yet you seem to forget master Mihnak, that these fine fellows are his lieutenants, and if we stay around any longer, will be bound by their chain if command to hand us over to him when he returns from the wastes. Forgive me for my impertinence, but we did not come here to make friends with some star elves, no matter how smooth they may be with their words!" Na'im exclaims feeling steadily more exasperated at his companions lack of appreciation of the danger presented by the star elves

Yzalirk · August 21, 2015

"Just because they are his lieutenants doesn't mean they like him."

Eladio-Vuentei watches as Germ pours venom over his weapons.

"Fool. If that means anything to us, it will not end well for you." Drawing his mace.

El-Alquist hefts his hand and blocks Germ attempt at a potion.

"Eckmar Mot used to be a gallant warrior in the Oswain Army. It is a pity that his loyalty to the Fenari brought him down to his current state, he used to be General Latte Oswain's sparring acquaintance, if that meant anything to you. They were masters in their own art. General Latte Oswain led the ground forces, Eckmar Mot and Grigorlis led the skies. We were invincible as a whole. Eckmar and Grigorlis need treatment. And I am in the process of reversing the effects of the Red Nekrastone, to make them pure, beautiful and whole again. If he continues to be defiant, only death will come to him but his past achievements will not leave him behind. That is someone who deserves to be inked in our history books. <How a great warrior, blinded by his greed, eventually led to his downfall. A lesson for all Star Elves to keep in mind. Even the great can fall.>" El-Alquist laughs, "Did I just witness your weeping state when you lie unconsciousness on the ground, weak and meek? Do you think you deserve such a privilege for your named to be inked?"

"No one used to be, and wants to be part of your high riding race!" snarls Bain.

"I take it you've never heard of a Dark Dwarf, have you? They usually have blackened or gray skin, barbaric folk. They are feral if anything. Dwarves are born particularly in the same way... sort of. We do have a knack for engineering, mining, and metallurgy. We were born from the ground, that is all we know. My ancestors have surfaced in search of more ores, better ores.

I would help with my cause but I have a different passion... besides inventing and tinkering, of course." Mhinak says with a somewhat enthused tone mixed with a bit of depression.

"The Fenarians abandoned their duty set forth by the Queen and the Gods. They wanted more and even more isn't good enough for them. They were once Star Elves, yes, but they deviated from their roles as Star Elves, that disrupted the whole structure of our society. Everyone of us is born with a purpose. A warrior, a blacksmith, a scholar, a noble, and so on, each to their own roles. Selfless is the key to our success and selfishness breaks that. The Fenarians break that and they are no longer part of us. And if they continue to launch attacks on us, we as warriors will have to fulfil our duty to protect our people, that is our role."

"We live for half a millennium, which is long compared to other races, like Humans or Gnomes. You see, treasure, precious rocks, and tinkering is an ordinary Dwarf's livelihood. What else do you think Dwarves are supposed to underground? We're practically isolated from the outside world.

I just want to return these items, recover the Brown Nekrastone for the Krimwood Guardians, and go home!" Mhinak grumbles in a somber manner.

"As it stands, the Fenarians have undone themselves and they have no place in our society. Look at them." Pointing his mace to Bain and Naîm, "That is living proof of greed and selfishness. That is punishment from the Gods, that is banishment." El-Vuentei retracts his mace, "Anything happens outside the dome is the duty for the Army to deal with. I am not surprised that our General takes it onto himself, that is his duty. Besides it is also our duty to protect our forest allies." El-Vuentei scans the party, "We know who we are dealing with, not one of you can defeat those slytherins alone. It is best to leave this to the warriors trained in combat and tactics."

“Selfishness, greed and lust?” Na’im says incredulously “Nay major, my peoples quarrel with the star elves lies only with their choice of queen, one who sees fit to use Assassins and brute force to enforce her tyranny across Spelesia.

Tell your men to stand down majors.” says Na’im In a friendlier but still unyielding tone

"Do not insult the Gods and the Queen! Fenarian!" El-Alquist swings his broomstick and blocks Naîm's heal to Germ. "Why do you need Eckmar on your side, to launch an invasion on us? Do you assume we do not know what the Fenari has been planning underground?"

"A lot. But I usually let me weapons do that for me." Miderun glares at the Star Elves.

"Delivering justice. That's our role. Gods are not meant to lead and coddle, something they will see the error of shortly," snapped the orc.

"We are Star Elves, perhaps you are on the wrong side of Baltarok. We have no business with the orcs."

"Yo, my name is Bobby. Maybe we can all chat and figure out what's good. We're heroes of Heroica, yo! We can be pals with any old dude."

"We do have a long standing relationship with Heroica. I am sure you know about your predecessors lending their hand on our defence against the Fenarians. They knew what they had to do and they kept to their roles and did not meddle with anything else. If you say you are here to return something, do what you have to do here and leave. Do you have to dip yourselves into matters such as whether the Brown Nekrastone is lost or not? Do you have to break into a prison and save a rebel to return something? Or has that tradition lost over the years?"

"Nothing like a little logic to keep the party in one piece lady Nayasto!" Says Na'im with a demented smile, shaking all over with the force of keeping a cool head "But what logic will use when these star elves try to take in lady Bain and myself in the name of their God, as they inevitably will.

Forgive me for my impertinence, but we did not come here to make friends with some star elves, no matter how smooth they may be with their words!" Na'im exclaims feeling steadily more exasperated at his companions lack of appreciation of the danger presented by the star elves

"Just because they are his lieutenants doesn't mean they like him."

"There is a difference between personality and duty. Besides, why do we have to draw arms and waste our energies if there is no way out for you?" El-Aquist pulls a sly smile.

"Eckmar Mot used to be a gallant warrior in the Oswain Army. It is a pity that his loyalty to the Fenari brought him down to his current state, he used to be General Latte Oswain's sparring acquaintance, if that meant anything to you. They were masters in their own art. General Latte Oswain led the ground forces, Eckmar Mot and Grigorlis led the skies. We were invincible as a whole. Eckmar and Grigorlis need treatment.

Clearly it's not up to an outsider like myself to change that but you all should consider it and integrate them. Perhaps you both could create a thriving nation and put an end to an ancient rivalry. The past is the past, worry about the future." Mhinak says passionately. "Bain has told us that Eckmar could help us track down that Brown Nekrastone and truthfully, that is why we are here. We could use some assistance with returning the Brown Nekrastone to the Guardians. I gave them my word that I'll personally help them and that is what I intend to do. What do you say?" Mhinak says before pulling out the Guardian badge for proof.

El-Alquist hefts his hand and blocks Germ attempt at a potion.

El-Alquist swings his broomstick and blocks Naîm's heal to Germ.

Do you assume we do not know what the Fenari has been planning underground?"

What the BEEPING Hell you piece of $#!+! You let me put some venom on a weapon but you will not let me drink some dam potion. :damn:

I do not know what they are planing. But, from what I have sen so far I am more incline to help them out. And I am guessing the rest of the planet would have a similar idea. And I am thinking that is not good for you guys over all.

Look at the facts presented to us lady Nayasto, we are trapped in a room with four religious zealots, who hate last Bain and myself for what we we represent: do you really believe we can all walk out of this chamber in one piece?"

I get the impression that I am not to high on their "love" list.

"Just because they are his lieutenants doesn't mean they like him."

I get the impression that their lips are to firmly attached to his hind quarters.

Besides, why do we have to draw arms and waste our energies if there is no way out for you?" El-Aquist pulls a sly smile.

Then BEEPING leave I am tired listing to your "insanity". I got enough of my own "insanity" that I do not need yours on top of mine. :facepalm:

"We are Star Elves, perhaps you are on the wrong side of Baltarok. We have no business with the orcs."

"I wasn't talking about the orcs."

"We do have a long standing relationship with Heroica."

"That relationship is OVER," barked Miderun. She glanced at the party. "They're stalling us. We need to attack now."

"Yo, Mide, I'm with you, yo! Whatever you think!" Bobby pulls out his whip and narrows his eyes at the dude making the magical doors do their thing.

Enceladus · August 22, 2015

"Well majors I see not what you want of us. It seems you leave us with no option but to draw swords upon you, for I have no desire to be a prisoner, but you show no inclination of letting us go with the man we seek. I regret it, but you have bought this upon yourselves you know." Na'im says spreading his arms in a gesture of innocence "Come, let us end this contest of words!"

"That relationship is OVER," barked Miderun. She glanced at the party. "They're stalling us. We need to attack now."

"Lady Miderun, I beg you show caution. The star elves clearly despise our prescense, yet they refuse to initiate a fight-surely there is a meaning for this? I know we cannot keep up the pretence of civility any longer, but let us at least be cautious with our blows." Na'im murmurs anxiously

"Yo, Mide, I'm with you, yo! Whatever you think!" Bobby pulls out his whip and narrows his eyes at the dude making the magical doors do their thing.

Curious, thinks Na'im, that he should follow the Orc so recklesly, and with few contributions of his own-I wonder how she gained his loyalty? At any rate if I could win over his friendship he could make a valuable puppet within the organisation "An excellent idea young master Bucks! I fear this may be our only hope of escaping this chamber!" says Na'im doing his best to sound encouraging "You have much to fear from our friend here master El-aquiest. Back in Eubric he was a...master criminal! Few of his victims ever saw their asilnant and none recovered their valuables, but now he works for heroica so you have much to fear!" cries Na'im, mentally cursing himself for how stupid it sounded

"That's strange, I never would have guessed that Latte had a Fenarian as a friend. Ironic. But I do understand that Latte would want the worst for him since Eckmar seemed to have betrayed him but for a good reason. It's seems to me he wanted to help his kin out, even if it meant betraying a friend."

"We were a tight knitted society then. He did not betray General Oswain, he betrayed our people and there are no good reasons for that."

"If Eckmar was a loyal friend to your General, that must mean they could fit in with your society. Clearly it's not up to an outsider like myself to change that but you all should consider it and integrate them. Perhaps you both could create a thriving nation and put an end to an ancient rivalry.

We could use some assistance with returning the Brown Nekrastone to the Guardians. I gave them my word that I'll personally help them and that is what I intend to do. What do you say?" Mhinak says before pulling out the Guardian badge for proof.

"I wonder if you had to sparr with Marx to prove your worth." Sizing up Mhinak, "Apparently not. Looks like they have gotten weak. But if our General is on it, he will deal with it swiftly."

El-Vuentei's eyes turns to the the Guardian's badge, and then Mhinak, and then back at the badge,

"You decide your own fate, even though we know what will probably come of you if you thread down that path, but it is not our duty to interfere with the lives of others. My only question to you is, how much do you trust Bain and Eckmar?"

El-Alquist says nothing, simply laughing it off.

What the BEEPING Hell you piece of $#!+! You let me put some venom on a weapon but you will not let me drink some dam potion.

Then BEEPING leave I am tired listing to your "insanity". I got enough of my own "insanity" that I do not need yours on top of mine.

"That relationship is OVER," barked Miderun. She glanced at the party. "They're stalling us. We need to attack now."

"Well majors I see not what you want of us. It seems you leave us with no option but to draw swords upon you, for I have no desire to be a prisoner, but you show no inclination of letting us go with the man we seek. I regret it, but you have bought this upon yourselves you know." Na'im says spreading his arms in a gesture of innocence "Come, let us end this contest of words!"

El-Alquist turns to El-Vuentei,

"Should we continue to wait for the General? Looks like our new residents need a little pacifying."

"Try not to create a mess, El-Alquist."

El-Vuentei raises his fist and opens it swiftly, the Berserker leaves the chamber via the third door. El-Alquist swings his broomstick at the entrance door and it swings wide open, a multitude of Star Elf prison guards assembing outside.
