Interlude 1

“It’s been a long time since all the Religious leaders from all the different races have gathered like this.”, said Nexus, the high vicar of the elven clergy.” Now I hope we maintain some semblance of peace; well we discuss the problem at hand.”

A massive fist struck the table, startling everyone present. The orc war priest stood, his massive form towering over the others. “This problem is easily solved, find them and purge them in the names of our gods.” Tarth snorted.

“The child of Gaia won’t be so easy to find. The Night Crow did a good job of scattering them. From what the diviner’s have seen, most have appeared in the wildlands, so far.”, said Lilith, the priestess of the moon elves.

“And just, how accurate are your so-called diviners? How can we trust the word of you scum? I can’t remember the last time I met a moon elf who wasn’t a whore or a thief.” Tarth practically spit the word out.

“What do you know of mine kind, you filthy green blooded bastard. Your kind is too busy raping and murdering us, to get to know any of us. When was the last time you actually talk to one of my kind? After you murder them or raped them?” Lilith voiced with rage.

Tarth hand reach for his sword at his belt, but before his hand touched the pommel, a blade appeared at his throat. Tarth froze as the cold black metal gently touched his skin.

“THAT WILL BE ENOUGH OF THIS NON-SENSE. Put your petty racial dispute aside or leave. But I warn you now, if you leave, you’ll no longer be considered a member of this counsel.” Nexus said in a cold and firm voice. His eye’s glowed with power, and body exuded so much power the room began to shake.” Now, sit”

The knife and its wieldier vanished without a trace. Tarth let out a sigh of relief and sat without saying a word.

A tall and wild looking man stood and coughed to gather everyone’s attention. “Ahem. My spies have already confirmed, several locations, based on information given to us from the moon elves. So, we the druids will vouch for the moon elves accuracy, and HONESTY.” Berus stared at the orc as his finished his statement.

Nexus turned to the druid, while visibly calming.” What details can you give?”

“We’ve have found nine large groups, approximately a hundred in each group, that have appeared around the west Wildlands. We’ve also found one group on the eastern side. There might be more, but we can’t scout any further to the east, due to the goblin population. We’ve already began hunting down the groups in the western side. Unfortunately, it will be impossible for us to strike at the group on eastern side. Their just too far into the goblin territory.”

“Should we even worry about them? I doubt they’ll survive long, with goblins hunting them down.” Lilith questioned.

“Actually, they’ve appeared in the entrance to the Abysmal One’s temple. Even goblins won’t enter that place. Luckily the only thing there are Slimes, which they can’t eat due to slimes acidic nature.”

“Well, we can forget about that group. Goblins or slimes their odds of surviving are non-exist. Let’s move on to the next topic. I was hoping to form hunting parties made up of at least one member from each race. Let’s take a vote, by show of hands. All in favour?” Nexus eyed the room.

All fifteen hands, excluding Tarth’s, raised. After a few seconds Tarth raised his too.
