    Gwo remain silent and then say to all.


    "Ok, let's do it like that. We should get prepared for the next Rift in Paolo Trutz.


    Whenever this one will open, we will have to be ready to go as close a possible and if possible... cross it.


    We will spread in two distinct teams, with two specific goals. All should be fast and capable to defend themself in case of problem.


    The fist group will need to be fast and skilled fighters able to win time and distract the ennemy.


    This will allow the second team to seek for the information we are looking for and identify the potential targets. Wizzards, Priest, Artifact I don't mind, we will try to get you the time to do some magical research. Their job will be to identify what potentially control this blood Rift and spread the information. Elimination must be last resort.


    If we have to cross the rift same story but in addition the second team will have to look if they can identify the governor of Paolo's Trust. Do you have a painting or at least a name to give us, Thul'een ?



    Sik, if we have to go in the Mirrorworld i'd like you to join one of my man called Ryldan to be in charge to find us an escape path or at least a retreat area"

    Gwo listen the Vorn's last words very carefully and reply quickly


    "Do we have an idea where this Rifts is ? or will be open... ?


    He turns his head to the people behind, watching all of them carefully in the eyes, trying to read their inner will, their focus and feelings.


    Then he looks Vorn again and says


    "Give us the opportunity and we will do the rest"

    Gwo noted carefully the intervention of the Rhaon and let the basic drow protocol waste time and ressource as it will ever be.
    Then he replies to the Thul'een


    "We are here to serve the North, wherever is it. We will be pleased to stay in Paolo Trutz and help you securing the North. However i guess that at the moment the combined force of the element will engage the doubters troops in the Mirrorworld, their attacks on Mythodea will loss their intensity"

    Gwo nods slowly and add
    "We will manage perfectly well with this old barracks, the Night Squad will be honnored to train with the new squad you established for the protection of the northern capital"


    "regarding the supply, i guess if you have some spare food and drinks i guess all this people will greatfully accept it"


    Then he turns to Corbus,


    "Lieutneant, please dispatch the men and inform the people. I want everyone installed correctly by the end of the afternoon"


    Corbus nod quickly and rid back to his duty.
    Shorty after the men and people from Drada D'issan are spreading in the area. Discharging their horses and looking for some space in the assigned locations.

    During the ridding Gwo welcomes Naira, Keleath and Sinafay by a head sign.
    Silent and very focus behind his mask his eyes looks in every shadows of the city. He seems to get ready to anything.
    As the Eastern city walls and the city barracks appears Gwo noticed the Thul'heen and his guards. He immediately stops the column.


    "Corbus, Gar'esh with me"


    Two men, dressed in black leather with some chaos signs on their outfit step out of line.


    With a look he also invites the Ost Noir protector, the small white elf, Rhaon of Leyvyas and Sinafey of house Laelirin to follow him.
    Arrived in front of Vorn, he dismounts and kneels, his right hand on his chest.


    "The Northern Night Squad is at your service Thul'heen”
    “Let me also introduce you Corbus and Gar'esh intendants and officers of the Night Squad. If it pleased you, trust them as you trust me."


    Talking about trust Gwo smiles shortly and continue the presentation


    " I think you already have met Sinafay of house Laelirin, we fight with her in the South this year and her party joined us again in this troubled times. We also have the honor to have the protector of the Ecstatica’s Islands, his support in training some of the Night Squad men was more than appreciated. And last but not least, Naira, she will be acting as one of the Night Squad counselor. “


    Looking back to the civilians and the mass of warriors in black behind them.


    “As you can see Leaving Drada D'issan was not that simple, we also bring some extra with us, as per the information i have more might follow in the forthcoming months"

    Just after a few steps the guard nearly ran into Gwo but the drow swiftly dodge him at the last moment.


    Staying quite a few second letting the man overcome his surprise and get back his breath.


    He askes politely but with a cold voice full of deadly promesses.


    "Would you please also grant the free passage to the latest newcomers, I reply of their good behaviors. Our time is precious, as said i have to meet the Thul'heen. I am sure you don't want to waste our time, don't you ?"


    As the men nods, Gwo disapear quickly and joins the Drada D'issan people in the gate courtyard.


    After a quick talk with one of his intendant, he jumps on his horse back and make a sign. Shortly after that the collumn starts moving towards the city.


    Guided by the city gard escort the troup has the time to admire Paolo Trutz as the sun rises to the east.


    Apparently Paolo Trutz paid a large tribut to the war against the Ratio.


    This remember Gwo the last discussion he had with Ryzzil about Edonil... "unharm and safe, but for how long ?"

    On the northern road, shortly before the end of the night, small lights appears to the city's guards and those who were standing at the Northern city door. In view of the number, surely a large convoy progressiong slowly.


    Shorty before reaching the arrow distance the travellers stop and five horsemen ride along the last hundreds meters.


    In the glowing dawn, it is obvious that most of them wear black leather armor, weapons and from here to there painted chaos runes on their clothes.


    At around ten meters from the gate the front ridder yell.


    [color=maroon]"Here is the men and women of the Night Squad"


    "We have also forty non-fighters with us"


    "Open this bloody gates, would you, Master Vorn Zress is waiting for us"[color]

    It's the middle of the night. Forty to fifty men, women and child, wearing the black sheish (a kind of turban) and white and black dresses are loading their belongings onto donkeys, trolleys and horses.


    The Hydreshies, former guards of the city of Edonil, are gathering on the main place, which is in front of the protector's house. They were recruited by Gwo in the first mirror campaign as fierce warriors that would protect Edonil, yet were true only to him.


    Gwo leaves his own house and closes the main entrance door behind him. Before leaving, he carve a drow rune on the front door which means “traps”. This place was the first real house he ever had since he left the underdark. A lot of memories that would need to be erased...


    After a few steps back, he looks at the torch he's holding in his left hand, looks again to the house ... "to burn or not to burn the whole thing down ? "


    The old Gwo that was a scout in the underdark would have buried the place down that's for sure, and not only the house… His eyes now embrace the whole city of Edonil in the night, its giant tree, the little houses made of wood, the tavern of Bran the northman... again a lot of good memories.


    Gwo finally drops his torch in the street wheel and puts the house’s key in one of his leather pocket. Then, he climbs up swiftly on his horse and rides to the main place, where a few of his people and the Hydreshies are waiting.


    He stops in front of the protector’s empty house. After a few seconds, he takes his knife and cuts all his familial sigil, then drops them and the Drada D’issan emblem with anger on the front door of the Protector. He then throws his knife that lands straight in the middle of the door.


    Riding back to center of the area he stands on the top his saddle and yells : “Time to move people “ “Paolo Trutz, await us … The mirrorworld is calling for blood… the Night will be ours”


    Then the people around replied in one voice. “Shadow of Death, Storm in the Darkness” and all start moving through the night and their destiny.

    Gwo fixe un instant son interlocuteur dans les yeux puis lance


    "C'est mon boulot de savoir Tul' et veux tu arrêter de me balancer ces phrases toutes faites dont vous autres Sénateurs avez l'habitude d'abuser"


    "Si tu parles de retourner sur Toril, je pense qu'il faut être complétement fou ... y a trop de putain de dieux qui se foutent dessus si tu veux mon avis et beaucoup trop d'imbéciles prêt à mourir en leur nom"


    "l'Ombreterre par contre me manque quelques fois même si j'y passe encore régulièrement du temps en opération... pour moi c'est le Nord qui m'importe .. ensuite ou physiquement je me trouve importe peu et rien de matériel n'est irremplaçable "


    Gwo sirote son verre non sans l'avoir au préalable reniflé trois fois

    Gwo hausse les épaules.


    "Depuis quand on en a quelques chose à foutre de ce que le monde peut penser de nous ? Toi plus qu'un autre... "


    "Y a longtemps que j'ai compris qu'ici rien n'était donné et que tout doit etre forgé dans le sang et l'acier de ta volonté"


    Gwo marque une petite pause avant de reprendre


    "C'est Kop-tar qui m'a dit ca pour la première fois... pas en ces mots exacte évidement mais c'était un fichu bon conseil. Tiens t'aurais pas une petite bouteille dans le tirroir derrière cette armoire ? "

    "Ce n'est que moi... je crois que d'autre membre de la famille vont arriver"


    Gwo se prend un siège collé contre la parroi droite de la pièce et commence a se balancer doucement.


    "le bateau part bientôt ? J'ai dégoté quelques infos sympathiques qu'il serait bon que tu commences a consulter


    Gwo balance un fin registre à travers la pièce. Relié en cuir noir ce dernier atterri en face de Tul'Sanya.


    "Sinon concernant la Night Squad, j'ai recruté quelques runistes chaotique pour s'occuper de l'intendance et j'ai une dizaine d'Hydreshis qui viendront avec moi... je promet pas que tout le monde rentrer vivant... C'est des nomades sans trop d'organisation ... risque d'en perdre un ou deux... "

    "no thank you, i am only drinking my own stuff... "


    Gwo stand up and go behind the bar grab three iron glass and three sealed bottles.


    He put the bottles on the table at the disposal of the guest. On the bottle it's written "Porto"


    "Pick one master Tarabass, it's from my own reserve. Don't take it personnaly Jerdur, it's cultural I would say"


    Then Gwo sit and ask to the gray dwarf


    From which protectorate are you from again ?

    Gwo looks to Tarabass in the eyes and raise his glass.


    "There is thousand ways to die but only one to live..."


    at the same moment some music can be heard from outside of the Inn.

    “I see… “


    The drow turns his head to the Duegar
    “Jerdur Son of Urtnar. Come and join us at our table, we are talking underdark politics… we will join the party after “


    Then Gwo continues his conversation with the weapon master.


    “I am no priest and I don’t follow too much the logic behind all this. All I know is that I am a bit tired to kill other Drow… especially here in Mythodea were we are so few…“


    “Since my time in the Braeryn in Menzo, I only believe in functional and practical solutions. If someone think that dancing naked under the moon is good, then who I am to judge this. Same with the ladies who rip heart out of slaves’ chest in the name of the spider queen. Even if one seems more productive than the other.”


    Then with a side smile he continues…


    “What I don’t get, is that when our people arrive in Mythodea via the Duegar harbor: They are incorporated in Shalzad’s army. Then when they start fighting on the surface for the North, in the mirror world for example, they have to learn to cope with orcs, take orders from humans like the Archon, or whatever the kriegmaster Gorathiel is and fight side by side with white elf.


    After all this, back in Shalzad, Drada D’Issan or Gales Morgan. We ask them to forget abt all this ! Do you think they will be able to start again hunting white elf and follow the spider priestess dogma without questions after all that? “

    The Duergar can suddenly feel the tension inbetween the two drows.


    After a slightly too long silence Gwo says


    "Regarding the forthcoming war in the mirror world we are on the same page"


    Then the drow takes a deap breath and continue.


    "You are on Mythodea much longer than us, so i would like to understand a bit better the forces here: A few years ago we killed many of the Jarra`ruud because they were threatening the Nyame and saying that she was a traitor. Since then, we conduct our own reseach on the source of mythodea's magic. Our own Mistress refused to come here as no outside gods have powers unless the element agree with it. They said the territory here is cursed by Lloth".


    " Am I correct, Master Tarabass ? ".

    Gwo's surprise can be red during only a second on his face.


    Tarabass is handeling his people well...


    and here come a new guest, a Duergar... sweet... they are not so commun on the surface...


    "Hello Traveler and welcome... the inn keeper is outside. If you are seeking for a good night rest just leave your bag in the first room on your left. As it's an holy night tonight food and drink are on the owner account. The party have already started just follow the music and you will find a clearing 500 meters to the North"


    Then hiding his fingers to the new comer he signs to Tarabas



    P:S: sorry for the time of respond we were organizing a LARP last weekend and as you probably know it's quite demanding in terms of time

    Our Quellar lives in the surface for years. I need to coordinate troops and manage to have the best combination of people skills. I've seen what the Quellar Xaran is capable of last year. Powerfull and sure of their strengh in the battle. During the last month of campaign in the North, I've seen Drows soldier refusing to be healed by talented and trustworthy white elf. In fact, I've seen many stupid behaviors. Not that this behaviors are good or bad, I am not giving you my opinion here, but in a battle you have to trust your allied and they should also be able to trust you. You know, more than any other, that as Drow we need to show unity and no failure to the ennemy or the Rivvin.


    Gwo takes a strange voice then, inspired but also slightly mocking.


    In Drada D'Issan we belive that Drows have to be United as the North is. The respect from the other races has to be earned and not coming from a potential fear from a shadow [OT:near the toilet usualy].


    We are Drows ! If we are organized and united, we can be deadly and feared under the Sun and still be the most efficient race of all during the Night.


    Gwo light up a pipe and inhale a heavy puff.


    So, do you think the jalil from Arach Sullis will fight side by side with white elf or shall we take special measure to avoid such encounter ?

    Gwo stand up and reply to the priest,


    "Vendui Weapon Master"


    Gwo flash a glance at Hurdur’nand this one disapear immediately in the kitchen. A few second later both drows could head a wooden door noise.


    "Thanks for replying to my invitation, let's take a seat... I am not offering something to drink but help yourself if something woudl fancy you"


    Gwo takes his glass and sit at a round and dirty table in the middle of the Inn.


    "So, we didn't had much time to talk last time we saw each other... As always your time and mine are too precious to waste in chitchat"


    "Darada D'Issan gathered allied, mostly Rivvin for the mirror world campaign. Trust and Unity is what will help us to face the army of doubt. You and some of the Xaran family will be also crossing the portal. How far are your people and especially your jalil are adapted to the surface ? "
