@Terminal Good point. Hmmm...I think Kuro would be one of the few humans Triala was actually afraid of. Besides the Captain. He seems like the type, and he'd probably remind her of the high lord to a certain extent. Anyways, she'd definitely be on her best behavior whenever he was around.

EDIT: Just out of curiosity, what is everyone's process for writing a post? I tend to just write non-stop, even if it doesn't make sense, before going back and editing the crap out of it.

"We need to send a small party - no more than eight or so people - to go and have a quiet, civilized negotiation with the city militia and convince them that we only want to pass through."

"Send the emotional trainwreck of a firestarter, the trigger-happy cutthroat, the unrestrained prankster extraordinaire, some random, newly-joined elf - make sure they are as stuck up as possible - a physically and mentally scarred monster hunter, a dwarven ranger - you never know when beast trapping will come in handy in an urban environment - oh, and the venerable swordmaster veteran."

"That last one was almost sensible, but the rest of that 'lineup' is a rout waiting to happen. Glad I won't be there to see it when the blood starts pouring."

"You're going too."

"WHAT?!?"

Hey Myke, just saying you may have misread the intro post. Or at least the intention of the post. The Company is not here to open up Orvston for the Imperial Forces. Their mission isn't to help the Vorstagian war effort at all only to investigate the strange happenings in the North, since the Emperor's spies can't make heads or tales of them and that worries him. So they really just want to be able to get through the city and out the other side. That being side Orvston is one of the most heavily defended cities in the Realms as one of the few standing gateways to the North not taken over by the Vorstagians, and so the garrison isn't stupid and wouldn't allow a force the size of the company's through their gates without orders to do so, especially since the Company was last seen heading south into Imperial lands. Because of that they can only suspect that the company is going to try and open the gates open and kill them all or something, when in actuality all they want is passage through the city. xD All the team is doing is going inside to do some convincing to the governing body to let them through so they can continue their real mission and get the main force through without incident. Or well that is at least their intent. Things may go awry from there.
