    Exie

    It felt like years till Exie finally came back across the Underground Marketplace, her legs and shoes completely soaked with water and shaking with mild fatigue.

    Wished there was a bridge, there's only oh so much water I can stand... Exie thought to herself, patting her legs dry before unrolling her skirt back down. She didn't like the feeling of wet footwear, but she'll have to ignore it the best she can.

    Exie was surprised to hear Keeper Kuroki speak after her long wade through the waters, hearing him speak about another presence and then about the missing Buzzard.


    "Eixe, as you are the closest one, would you mind examining Buzzard's last known location?"

    "Okay Keeper Kuroki, I'll see if I can find him."

    With that, she walked towards the Troll's Blacksmith, and then sees a corpse not to far from there. She blinks, moving slowly over to the corpse, and examines Buzzard's wounds.

    Grot, the Troll

    Grot re-emerged from the portal of Keeper Kuroki's dungeon. It had been a long journey and stumbling into the realm of Frozengard was only part of it.

    GROT HAS RETURNED TO YOUR DUNGEON!

    "Greetin' keepah, yah faithfo' troll be back, an' all!"

    Grot set up his lair again and began training.

    Grot, the Troll

    Grot bopped a dummy over the head with his hammer and decided that now was a good a time as any to finish up. He scratched indecisively.

    +)What tha' do, what tha' do? I, mahself, don' feel like startin' nothin' right 'bout now... Ah'll go see mah friends!(+

    The troll headed across to the Library, and despite being illiterate and somewhat clueless, started research Guard Room... at least he thought that was what the book said, it could have been anything really - especially since he was holding it upside down. The entire focus of of his mental capabilities on the task was barely a trickle, but it is the thought which counts.

    After a while he got distracted and approached a certain beetle.

    "So mah mighty fine Beetlin', this is what'chya do 'round here now is it? The Liber-roary... Libray... book hall?"

    Manufacturer of slight renown Grot de Groit slumped down on a pile of books closer to Beetlington and pulled his own volume back out. He tried not to get too much snot on the book as he wiped away his running nose.

    It was titled, "Lighting the Watch: Correct Arrangement for Torches in the Guard Room."

    Dreggory, the Goblin

    Dregs emerged from a portal down at the Portal settlement and headed towards a shadowy hooded figure lurking near the southernmost Casino.

    "Hide your shield, you fool!" the being hissed at him... the House of Nemier cared a lot about remaining low-key. Understandable if it was it was discovered they were backing both sides of a conflict. Dregs didn't care. He stretched, shield in the air, so that anyone in viewing range could see the Nemier emblem on his shield. Dregs honestly believed that of all the great Black Knight families, none were so meddlesome in the affairs of the Keepers as the Nemier dynasty.

    "Do you want me to report or not?"

    The figure was somewhat pissed, "Well obviously. Hurry up."

    "Mikaelios is going well... I believe he has a chance to victory in Frozengard."

    "Against Keeper Dimitrius? Hmmmm... I doubt it."

    "Then why the hell are you so eager to back him?"

    The figure ignored him. The goblin now realised he was a Rogue, and too incognito for even the House. He had not a crest or tattoo anywhere.

    "What is this? You don't strike me as the typical Nemier deployments officer."

    "Nemier is sub-contracting, I'm a freelance... they wanted someone who could keep a low profile, but you ruined that I see."

    The Rogue began studying a small ledger of some kind, making clicking noises with his tongue.

    "Right... before you head back to Mikaelios, we have a few odd jobs we want to undertake in this realm... under a Keeper Kuroki. His dungeon is north of here. When you've done you can head back to Frozengard."

    Dregs sighed, ~}Should have known. Again they order me around like I'm a bloody dog. Bollocks. They expect us to fight for our lives fighting for Keeper after Keeper, give it our all, uphold their reputation when half the time their backing the other bloody side.{~

    Dreggory trudged north into the dungeon of Kuroki, splashing through the freezing waters. He entered Kuroki's dungeon and introduced himself to the Keeper, repeating once again in monotone the meaningless words.

    "Greetings great and powerful Keeper Kuroki," he bowed before the heart.

    "Keeper, I am Dreggory - foot soldier, servant, messenger and lowly representative of the House of Nemier. I am here because my masters believe in your most worthy of causes, and that your victory in this realm would be be mutually beneficial for both our parties. As an expression of their support, I have been sent to offer my services in the hope that I may prove of use to your campaign here. Should you chose to accept our support, my master would like to make it clear that my stay here is only temporary - until a more comprehensive and powerful force can be mustered to your aide"

    Dregs bowed once more and departed the Heart Chamber.

    He then proceeded to create his sleeping arrangements in the smaller of the two lairs and began combat training in the training room.

    Eixe saw 2 barbed arrows sticking out of Buzzard's abdomen. Apparently, the attacker was some sort of marksman. Then Eixe noticed there were 2 sets of footprints that seemed to come right next to the corpse. Both looked humanoid - one seemed to wear flat-bottomed shoes, while the other was barefoot. The footprints came from the north-west, as if those humanoids were hiding behind the Workshop's wall, then ambushed Buzzard. After that, they went east. Unfortunatelly, it's impossible to follow them from there, as many creatures have passed through there and some have left similar footprints as the culprits.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Ah, welcome back, Grot. Your skills were missed. Still, not much have happened while you were away, I'm afraid.", Kuroki spoke when he noticed Grot was back.

    Soon after that, Dreggory approached Kuroki's realm and introduced himself.

    "I see...", Kuroki said to him, "I do not know much about the House of Nemier, but if they are willing to aid me it would be quite dishonorable not to return the favor. Welcome to my domain. Feel free to use any facilities you require."

    After this, Kuroki's consciousness shifted to his Library.

    "The Guard Room is almost within my grasp. But some of the information I'm getting is confusing...", Kuroki said to his research team, then noticed Grot was holding his book upside-down, "Grot, would you mind flipping that book? You're holding it upside-down, so I can't understand anything you're trying to read."

    After this, Kuroki realized some of his new recruits are unaware of the current situation in this realm, so he spoke to everyone in his domain: "As some of you are new here, I feel that I should fill you in on our current status. We currently have a truce with the heroes of this realm and I have given my word we would not interfere with them. I expect you to honor our truce and not attack any heroes or intrude on their territory east of us. Second, there is a band of skeletons in a cavern west from our position. They seem to be guarding the area which contains some sort of magical artifact. For now, we should prepare to crush them, as they have shown hostility by attacking anyone who came close to them. Grot, I believe your time would be spent more productively if you were to make us a Boulder Trap which we could use on those skeletons. The others are advised to train their combat skills for the time being. Except for you, Beetlington. You may continue your research."

    Dregs, the Goblin


    Dregs nodded to the Keeper in a single affirmative manner, and returned to his training, instruction duly noted.

    ~}That is what most say, good Keeper, but if it were me I would not hesitate in doubting Rostag Nemier III's sincerity,{~ Dregs thought. Some said he was jaded, but as far as he was concerned it was they who were deluded.

    The goblin lashed out with his short sword dealing a powerful blow, before ducking behind the cover offered by his rounded shield. A whirling mace smashed into it, knocking him back a step. He rallied, delivering a powerful salvo of jabs against his wooden opponents.

    Dreggory ducked another whirling appendage and took the opportunity to check if anyone else had entered the Training Room. Spies could be anywhere and this could be a test of loyalty. Kuroki sounded like a decent sort of Keeper, and after so many, Dregs had a way of telling. He whispered lightly to the empty room, knowing the Keeper had a good chance of hearing him anyway in such an empty dungeon - even with the racket of the training room.

    "I caution you not to trust the House so readily, Keeper... I work for them and I still don't. They have won battles and turned tides, but their true goals are shrouded in a thousand lies, they work like darting shadows... and I cannot guarantee their agenda here."

    Dregs coughed and recovered, face slipping behind a bleak mask, returning to his training. The training room was still empty.

    Grot de Groit
    ...............Master Work-Smith

    Grot was sprawled back on his head of books when Kuroki noticed him, "Ah, welcome back, Grot. Your skills were missed. Still, not much have happened while you were away, I'm afraid."

    "I be sayin' tha' is all righ' an' fine by mahself, mah good keepah, for ain't nothin' like a good ol' quiet realm like this for gettin' ya work done, 'ay?"

    Grot stretched, and continued trying to make sense of the strange symbols on the pages. The Keeper noticed.

    "Grot, would you mind flipping that book? You're holding it upside-down, so I can't understand anything you're trying to read."

    "By mighty Gnoll, ya right! I apoli-geese wid sincerities, Keepah! I hadn't not the slightest-most clue!"

    He finished up with a belch, and turned the book around and continued, equally unsuccessfully, to decipher the text.

    Grot kept reading for some time before another comment was addressed to him

    "Grot, I believe your time would be spent more productively if you were to make us a Boulder Trap which we could use on those skeletons."

    "Alritey, Keepah, what ya say is wha' I does. Ya want ya work-smith to be workin' his crafts than wha' else is ya work-smith tah do? Yah'll have a Rock-Trap comin' right ovah 'fore ya can say, 'Oi, Grot, where isn't mah rock-trap and where hasn't ya gone and not placed it?'"

    Grot clambered to his feet and made for the Workshop with haste, ready to start the construction of a standard Boulder Trap as quickly as he could.

    +)Sometimes, I mahself do find that speed is of more import than crafts-pride, an' tho itself should be not as such, yah got tah grit yah teeth an' cut corners. It may not be pretty, an' it may not be a wondah of trollmanship, but by Knud an' Faust an' all the work-smiths renown it had bettah got tah be done!(+

    Grot entered a frenzy, not even stopping to scratch that itch... you know the one I mean.

    A new creature has entered your dungeon
    Nothing crawls out of the portal. Perhaps the Mentor is wrong?
    ......Wherever it is.
    A voice is heard within the Dungeon Heart room.
    "I am Zaral, or Midnight Spawn, as others call me. I serve you, Keeper."
    A runt of a Demon Spawn walks out from the shadows, his hide looking like armor.......Black as a moonless night. He bows, then retreats to the shadows.

    Dreggory
    House of Nemier


    Dregs smiled. He had continued training until he reached Level 2, now he was training just that little bit further. He lashed out one last time at the dummy, a vicious stab around his shield.

    ~}Excellent.{~

    The goblin moved across into the nearby hatchery, got something to eat, and then returned to his training.

    "I could be researching, I suppose, I do know how. But the Keeper probably needs combat troops."

    Dregs sighed, ducking another whirling arm. If nothing else, the training room certainly put combat awareness to the test.

    A small, black Demon Spawn crawls out of the shadows and begins rapidly attacking a training dummy, moving quite fast.
    I remember when we used to use real heros for targets.......Then again, the Combat Pit wasn't the greatest idea.
    He lashes out at the legs, jumps over the flail, scratching at it's head twice. He then lands and begins rapidly moving around it, attacking it from all sides.
