Sir!” Yells a Krakon guard as he rushes down the manor hall and flings open the beautifully engraved double doors to the dining hall. Inside at a unnecessary long dining table sit four Krakons, two adults, and two children. “What is so important that you disturb my supper with my family?” says the largest Krakon sitting at the table, he is holding a spoon and looks like he’s about to stab someone, probably the guard, with it. “I’m sorry my lord but there has been an accident near the border. A group of about a dozen humans were captured and one Krakon was injured, I can because it could be-”. The Krakon lord stops the guard from saying anymore with the wave of his hand. “We will speak of this later,” turning to the other three Krakons, “I will be right back my dear and Joey, remember not to stay up late, you know how cranky you get when you don’t get your sleep.” “Yes, Father.” says the smallest of the Krakons. “Come back soon Goard.” says the second largest Krakon, she appears to be the female and wife. Following the guard, Lord Goard closes the double doors behind them. “Now tell me the story from the beginning.” “Yes Lord Goard. As you know, the border south of here is always patrolled in case of invasion.” “Yes I know, now get on with the story.” says the lord impatiently. “Well, a patrol of about half a dozen Krakons soldiers were patrolling near a small village when they noticed a group of human-like figures with a cart full of crates. There was a confrontation, the man delivering the cart managed to escape but the remaining humans were captured and the cart seized. A krakon was injured after one of the humans glazed his neck with a sword. The cart was full of crates of gun powder, cannon balls, and rifles, enough to storm this town.” “Show me to the humans, I want to speak directly to them.” says Lord Goard. A few minutes later, they arrive at a wooded area and a group of figures were slouched by the trunk of the tree with five Krakons surrounding them. The guards part way as Lord Goard walks up to the figures. They are clearly human as one of them looks up at their visitor before slouching down again. Crouching down, Lord Goard says “I would like to speak to you for a few minutes.” “I got nothing to say to you.” says the human, only lifting his head to spit in Lord Goard’s face. The guards lift their guns and aim it at the humans but Lord Goard raises his hand to stop them. “I just need you to answer a few questions and I could easily let you go.” The human says nothing. “Your buddies too.” The human says nothing. “Guards, take these criminals and throw them in the dungeon.” “My lord, do you think they were supplying the Haba Resistances?” says the guard that lead Lord Goard here. “I don’t know, I don’t know.” says Lord Goard, “I want a messenger sent to the King and I want extra patrols near the border.” [b]Other Major Events[/b] While this was going on near the south, in the far northeast a Horean cargo ship was damaged by a Elthana ship with two sailors injured. The Minor Militia was partly assembled by the local human and elven towns as a number of incidents caused the death of twenty elves and humans, witnesses report that they were injured by human and elves. A large number of Horean Air Guard members were recently reassigned to the upper Elthana border. The humans and elves in the middle lake region are requesting help as violence is rising. [u][b]Economy[/b][/u] “You know that with the violence in the lake area is affecting our economy.” says Councilman Kes of the Hapore Council to the council. “And what do you expect us to do? We can’t do anything without Geward here.” says a Horean with a slightly bent beak. “May I say something?” says an elderly looking Horean. “According to law, an action can be performed if less than two member is missing and all featured members support the action, as long as the missing member is informed.” “Well that settles it, we need to conduct some trade routes or we are going to go bankrupt.” says Kes. “I suggest sending messengers to the nations of Helor, Achnon, Obana, and I would also suggest requesting access across Achnon waters to reach the nation of Uaruneria. Who supports this action?” All the hands in the room go up. “Well that settles it, I will be dissipating messengers right away, meeting dismissed.” [b][u]Diplomacy[/u][/b] A defensive treaty has been sent to the nations of Achnon and Helor A diplomat is sent to Obana. Trade agreements are sent to Achnon, Helor, and Obana. A messenger is sent asking permission to travel across Achnon. A diplomat is awaiting permission to travel across Achnon to Uaruneria.
