The Ulber's Seek

[Ashamn]

(The following event has just RP intention, we really dont expect to find Ulbers, just to have fun, be sure of that before start flamming..)

Arrives at the midle of the Plazaa a litle ashamed, and turnes himself to the population of Hydlaa:

Greetings! I\'ll try to be the shorter I can.
Has much of you know the Ulber are getting more agressive each day that passes, by taking offensive actions agaisnt the Yliakum population. Investigations showed that they\'ve left they major city, located in the old ruins. And this friends, are terrible news.. We could be facing a migration that will result on an invasion of our citys! In the wrost of the ways they could be marching to Hydlaa or Ojaveda right now!
But lets not be paranoy, it\'s a fact that they are finding a new location were they could meet with the rest of the Ulber Tribes to start an invasion, and it\'s almost impossible to them start marching to war right now!
That\'s why we must act!
Zan and I thought in creat an expedition to seek for their new location and if the seek has sucess, who knows, maybe join an army to destroy them! That\'s why we need cartographers, scouts and explorers to begin the seek, and warriors and paladins to use their weapons if they are needed! We must be ready to protect ourselves!

Everybody willing to join must contact me or Zan. The meeting point will be next Sunday at 18:00 gmt 0 in the Gates of Hydlaa (inside the town). It\'s with you now..

 

[Jekkar]

Pushes away the crowds on the plaza to reach Ashamn

Hmmm....Yes i have noticed it ! The ulbers becoming ever more agressive, terrorising the lands! This threat must be dealt with ...We must Unite with eachother and deal with the Ulber once and for all!
You have my Feather and paper to seek out the dangerous routs . And you have my sword too.

Wraps his cloak back on and returns to the shadows

[Lordbug]

*appears right next to Jekkar while he\'s talking

Yeah! You\'re right! We must find where they are heading to and if they are a threat to us, maybe find a suitable place for them and turn their attention away from our homes?

I shall meet you there too! My magic mugs are yours!
Lordbug\'s magic mugs jump out of his bag and run towards the Ulbernaughts
Nooo! wait not now!
*goes after his mugs

[zanzibar]

Shalmaneser leans up against a tree with a smug look on his face.


What?  You can\'t just kill them using arrow?

[Lordbug]

*comes back in time to hear Shalmaneser, with his mugs
Ulbernaughts are precious for the nature\'s balance we can\'t lead them to extinction. I\'m against killing them.

[Ashamn]

Looks surprised at Zanzibar

Of course we wont kill them, that\'s not our objective. This is an expedition, not a squad, the warriors only are need to act if anything goes wrong, like rogue attacks, Tefusangs or somethingt else.

[Drey]

They won\'t move without a leader, someone to direct them with a strong personallity and the will to do so.

I don\'t think you need to worry too much for now....

*dissapears off into a crowd of people*

[Ashamn]

Listen Drey\'s comment and then look at him

I cant prove they have a leader, but what I can prove is that they leaved their major city, and that scares me, a lot. They are needed to keep the nature\'s balence has Lordbug said but we cant just allow them to do what ever they want and put Yliakum population in constant state of alert. The only thing that this expedition will do is seek for them, then study them and see if they represent some danger to us. Nobody speaked in attack the ulber. Ok I did it, but only if they have dangerous thoughts agaisnt our population.
 
Looks at the crowd

Any more questions?

[zanzibar]

It\'s possible that they are following a leader, more likely it\'s a simple pack mentality.  Personally, I think they\'re being herded.....

[Zan]

*walks up to Ashamn and his friends*

I am glad to see there are still people concerned for the fate of Hydlaa. Of course I will be joining as well and have my magics and experience help where possible.

*turns to where Drey was standing*

He seem to know an awful lot about them .. I think we need to keep an eye on him.

*faces the crowd again*

If Drey is right we need to locate this leader and be ready to \'replace\' him with a more peaceful one. The Ulbernauts have always been a threat to us Yliakeans but as long as we knew where they were, they were a known threat. Now they are obviously on the move and more dangerous than ever. That is why this mission is very important.

We will not be heading out to kill the Ulbers or assassinate their leader yet though. This expedition is intended to gather information and discover what is going on, not initiate a battle. I would even like to remain unseen at all if possible. If the Ulbernauts don\'t spot us they don\'t know what we know, which puts us at an advantage. That is why I have to ask that nobody directs any offensive manuevres towards the ulbers. Those who fail to comply will be endangering the mission, the lives of those involved and could possibly seal the fate of Hydlaa.

*rests his eyes on Shalmaneser for a moment*

So if you want to come along, hoping to crack some skulls I suggest you don\'t bother joining us and spend your day at the arena instead.

Knowledge and the element of suprise are the key to victory so that is what I \'d like to have on our side should this incident turn into an open war.

[Niavard]

*Niavard has been standing nearby, listening until now*

This is insanity! Ulbernauts attacking fortified cities? from all what I\'ve seen, ulbernauts fear yliaki! they only attack us when they feel threatened! I\'ve travelled the path between Ojaveda and Hydlaa quite a few times, and I\'ve never been attacked by an ulbernaut!

*Niavard takes a deep breath*

Since when do Ulbernauts build cities? since when do they follow single leaders? they are nothing but ordinairy animals! thinking they might be plotting to destroy hydlaa is paranoia!

*Niavard pauses for about half a second*

at least you\'re sending an expedition to investigate first, I\'ll be coming along, to prove that they aren\'t aggresive

(ooc: shouldn\'t this be in the roleplaying forum?)

[Lordbug]

*starts clapping
Well said Zan!

The element of surprise is always a good advantage. Ulbernaughts might not be that smart, but they have fast reflexes and can react quite fast, only a very agile Enkidukai can dodge the attacks.

*lets Niavard finish his speech
Maybe that\'s the problem... someone might have angry them enough.
I don\'t think no one ever said Ulbernaughts built cities, they just live in abandoned places like the Green Ruins.
I think if they are really following a leader, something must have changed in their behaviour. Maybe that \"leader\" is more inteligent than the others... maybe we\'re facing the beginning of a new race of Ulbernaughts!

Oh, and remember the attack of the Ulbernaughts in Hydlaa? So much for the fortified cities... and the guards...

[Jekkar]

Looks amazed at the people that have gathered

Maybe they are under a spell or such . A spell casted by they\'re new \"leader\" . This threat must be faced with or the whole of yliakum will die under the claws of these befouled creatures.I have heard of a place , an open wide plain of liquid goo. Maybe we should lead them there .

Returns to the back of the crowd

(ooc: shouldn\'t this be in the roleplaying forum?)

( i think it does , but lets tease the gm\'s for this time .)

[Zulus]

walks out of crowd to Asham

Sir, i think i have the valuable information for you.
Not so long ago i was traveling to Ojaveda when i spotted two Ulbernauts at the edge of the hill. I carefully got near them sneaking in the bushes.

They were barking and mumbling to each other, and after a while third Ulber joined to them.

Considering that i was alone I stayed hidden, but after a short while all three Ulbernauts walks away in the Hydlaa direction. I dont know is this information is any helpful for you, but me and my sabres are ready to investigate this, and to defend citizents of Hydlaa in case of danger.

[Wired_Crawler]

He crawls through the crowd... Nobody sees him, nobody hears him, nobody feels him, because he doesn\'t want to be seen, heard nor felt. But he sees, hears and feels everything, what is happening around him.  If somebody had read his thoughts, this is, what he could see:

\"expedition... yea, yea.... ulbernauts... they are right... ulbers are very anxious lately... carrots around temple... funny... a leader they say... like evil drey probably... a spell ?... a spell... maybe... ah, yes... that wedding was memorable... and all those newcomers... they tease ulbernauts... then die... then smell of their blood make ulbernauts more and more irritated... next one asking about emerald lake... wha..?... ulbers... talking to each other ?!... (the thoughts are trembling like leaves in the wind)... get a job, freeloader... somebody mentioned enkidukais... enkidukais are agile...? well... better tell my master... he may be interested...  maybe he will throw some coins... or a yummy mushroom... go.. go...\"

He sinks into the crowd. Nobody notices, nobody cares.
