Okay, so here is a mission outline for your squad: The Black Hounds of Errith, a specialized band of soldiers fighting for the armies of the allied nations know as the "Six Fingered Hand of Highwater". More on those nations as I write them out. For now, I can share that the "palm" of the six fingered hand is Highwater, ruled by the beloved human king, Baereth Highwater, the Stormclaw. Also, the "thumb" is the Dwarven nation of Thrakendelve, ruled by the fierce and passionate warrior, Valdor Stonehammer, also known as King Wildbeard, and the peasant king. (Not because of his kingdom's economic state, which is the wealthiest of the kingdoms, but because of his humble past.)
On to your mission:
Two weeks prior, a specialized band of Black Hound infiltrators was assigned a mission to rescue the King’s Spear, royal symbol of the Dwarves of Thrakendelve, as well as King Valdor Stonehammer himself, should he still live. King Valdor was traveling to the Elven city of Shandrihel with his royal guard and was ambushed by a warband of elite Red Drake hobgoblins. It is believed one of King Valdor’s own guard betrayed him, allowing the Red Drakes into the camp with over half the guard dead before any alarm was sounded.
The Hobgoblin squad was traveling to a Troglodyte territory in the Greystone marshes. Information indicates that the mission of the Red Drakes is to recruit the reptile people of the marsh into their already formidable army. The Black Hounds were assigned a secondary mission to prevent the alliance if possible.
Unfortunately, the Black Hounds haven’t been heard from since, nor have they been seen by any of our intelligence operatives. You are the new Black Hounds of Errith.
Your mission, is to cross the Greystone Marsh in less than four days, infiltrate potentially hostile troglodyte territory, and complete the previous Black Hound’s mission. If any of the previous Black Hounds are found alive, you are to provide rescue for them only after your primary mission is completed.
We still shooting for Monday night folks? CFG or what?
