=== Timed events === {{TEheader}} {{TErow| 1 | History|Freeing the [[Erathia]]n-[[Tatalia]]n border from the grasp of [[undead]] you push further into [[Tatalia]], fearing what you see. This [[Death Knight]] has a good lead on you and your troops. And he has not squandered that lead. Smoldering ruins were here not too long ago. Now the land is recuperating, but it will be a while before the lush swamps heal the land. For the time being plants and trees are starting to quickly grow back in certain areas, but others are still a little bare. The First Lieutenant asks why you are smiling to yourself. "It is difficult to burn these swamps, there is much water to extinguish the fires. These fires burned large sections of the forests and mountains, but the land is healing faster than they might have expected. Only outsiders do not understand how quickly our swamplands recover." Your smile turns to a grimace at the sight of decaying bodies.}} {{TErow| 2 | Purpose|You begin to look around, searching for a place to set up home base. Reports tell of such a town to the east, but the path is blocked by undead. Scouts are sent out to look for the enemy and discover their strengths. The rest of your forces are to spread out, find the town and wipe out the undead.}} {{TErow| 5 | Reports|Scouts are beginning to return and the news is not good. The first to return did not get far before running into groups of the [[undead]]. It seems the [[Death Knight]] had an ingenious thought. His troops were left to guard the dwellings of all citizens of [[Tatalia]]. When the new recruits, ready to fight for [[Tatalia]] emerged each week, the undead were to attack. Powerful magicks were placed so if a group of undead simply stayed in the area, their numbers would cause the fallen [[Tatalia]]ns to rise from the dead and join the ranks of the enemy. With this tactic the [[Death Knight]]'s armies will swell each week, and soon be unstoppable. The next few scouts reported this tactic as being used in a widespread manner. The [[undead]] must be cleared from the land and the [[Tatalia]]ns freed from their bony grasp. }} {{TErow| 7 | Scholars|It has been rumored that [[Scholar]]s have knowledge of great spells, but are heavily guarded. Seems these [[Scholar]]s do not want to be disturbed by the fainthearted. Only those willing to destroy the [[Diamond Golem]]s blocking the path will learn of the powerful spell each [[Scholar]] has.}} {{TErow| 10 | Scouts|The last few scouts return with more news. None of it is good. Fleeing [[Tatalia]]ns went deep underground into the marshy tunnels that run underneath this area. [[Undead]] blindly followed and have continued to do as instructed. Deep beneath the earth are several dwellings of powerful [[Tatalia]]n citizens who are being slaughtered and turned into powerful [[undead]]. Wincing at the news, your troubled looks are hard to hide from the men. Word spreads of great forces of [[Undead]] ready to erupt from under their very feet. It will be some time before the rumors fade away. }} {{TErow| 15 | Intelligence|It may be that the troops of [[undead]] are not all that smart, but it seems one of the [[Death Knight]]s or [[Lich]]es got a brilliant idea. Because [[Tatalia]]ns rely so heavily on wood and ore to build their towns and cities more powerful creations would guard them. Leaving the lowest creations to guard the least needed mines, more powerful ones can be found lurking around the wood and ore mines. It seems these [[undead]] are more wretched than you had imagined.}} {{TErow| 20 | Rumors|Rumors of [[Basilisk]]s trapped on one of the [[Great Lakes (Tatalia)|Great Lakes]] have reached your ears. Seems they were trying to escape the hordes and swarms of undead only to be brought down by some [[Water Elemental]] who did not appreciate the invasion into their territory. With any luck some could still be alive.}} {{TErow| 25 | [[Lord Haart the Death Knight|Lord Haart]]|A scout returns, [[Lord Haart the Death Knight|Lord Haart]] has definitely moved out of the area, leaving only two of his minions behind in order to keep the area under his sway. You will have to defeat both of them in order to free all of [[Tatalia]]. There is one far to the north and west, and another not so far and to the east. The latter will be of greater trouble.}} {{TErow| 30 | Trouble|"My lady, there is trouble. An outside [[Witch]] has come to the area in order to aid us. She was pleased to find some were already working hard to rid [[Tatalia]] of this plague, until she found out about you, [[Adrienne]]. Your use of [[Fire Magic]] has caused her to leave, going to the Leaders in order to report of your transgression. Her fear may very well cause our efforts to be for naught." The advisor's face is solemn. He has been a good advisor, honest and forthright. You are waiting for the bad news. "If she does make it to the Leaders it will be several weeks from now. Then she must wait in order to present her case to the Leaders. With the advent of the [[Festival of Life (event)|Festival of Life]] in [[Krewlod]] our leaders wait to see who will be the new king, if there is indeed one. Until [[Krewlod]]'s new leader is assessed our leaders will want to keep heavy forces on their border." He pauses, and continues, "But once all of that has been determined the Leaders will be able to turn their attention to you. If we fail they will blame you, even if none of this is your fault. Because of your use of [[Fire Magic]] [[Tatalia]]ns will shun you unless their lives are in jeopardy." He spat on the ground, disgusted at his own people's view of [[Fire Magic]]. Only with such knowledge have you been able to rid the border of those [[undead]], and now free the citizens. People have such short memories. "We should be well clear of this area by then, and hopefully hot on the trail of the real menace." "I agree, my friend. My choice in power is my burden to bear. It is not one you have to bear as well." You say to him, knowing his answer. "That is rubbish and you know it." He replies. "Now we should get back to the matter at hand - destroying these abominations." You nod in agreement.}} {{TErow| 35 | Information|In order to see how things are going you send a scout to the [[Krewlod]] border. There they can find out who wins, if anyone does, The [[Festival of Life (event)|Festival of Life]]. Once the King has been decided [[Tatalia]] will know how to react to the king, and have time to turn attentions elsewhere. It would be best if you had freed another area before they hear the other Hero's case. }} {{TErow| 40 | Great Treasure|Rumors of great treasure far to the northeast have trickled into camp. Much needed supplies could be found there, along with other riches beyond the wildest imagination. You're not so sure about that, you can imagine quite a bit. Either way it is worth checking into.}} {{TErow| 50 | Treasure|The rumors have been confirmed. There is a great treasure far to the north. Of course you'll have to go through the [[Necromancer]]s. Also, there is a catch. You will need to visit someone named the Key master - as a matter of fact; you'll need to visit two. Apparently there are two areas of great treasure, but both are heavily guarded. Only word from the Key master will let you pass.}} {{TErow| 60 | Below|Below the surface the stacks of [[undead]] grow as young creatures leave their homes each week. Several dwellings of [[Hydra]]s are there, but the [[Dragon]]s cannot create more of themselves from the Hydras. At least that is one bit of good news.}} {{TErow| 75 | [[Kilgor]]|It has been confirmed. [[Kilgor]] is the new King of [[Krewlod]], having successfully passed the [[Festival of Life (event)|Four Trials]]. You know nothing of this young [[Barbarian]], but he must be an excellent warrior. It does not matter. Soon the Leaders will have time to turn their attentions toward your activities here. You will need a distraction.}} {{TErow| 90 | Birthday|Today is a depressing day for you. It is your Birthday. Unlike so many others you cannot celebrate with your family, and not even your countrymen would celebrate an event with you. Quietly, you go into the forests to be alone and contemplate. A day of quiet would be nice, but a few hours in the early morning shall have to suffice.}} {{TErow| 95 | Birthday Present|"Excuse me" One of your lieutenants approaches cautiously, knowing your bad mood the past few days. "We understand it was your Birthday a few days ago. Well we have gotten you a little something." Curious, you accept the rolled up scroll. This is what it says;<p>Leaders:<p> The situation is dire. We are overrun with undead. All of the villages have fallen in the area. We are few in number, and the enemy is twice as great in number. It has been confirmed that [[Lord Haart the Death Knight|Lord Haart]] was raised from the dead and is leading his followers, who are all [[Lich]]es and [[Death Knight]]s. They are burning the swampland until there is nothing left. Help us or all of [[Tatalia]] will burn.<p>[[Tiva]]<p>You love your Birthday Present.</p>}} {{TErow| 105 | It worked!|With the delivering of the message the Leaders had no choice but to investigate such a claim. If [[Lord Haart the Death Knight|Lord Haart]] were truly on the loose, then it would take precedence over a [[Witch]] using fire. The Leaders have been stalled - at least for now.}} {{TErow| 115 | Leaders|The leaders have responded:<p>Tiva,<p> We have assessed the immediate situation. It is definitely [[Lord Haart the Death Knight|Lord Haart]] and his followers who are burning [[Tatalia]], not the [[Fire Witch]]. Henceforth any indiscretion on her part will be assessed at a later date. We will send aid soon as possible. Continue with your excellent progress.<p>Leaders.<p>You laugh out loud. Any other response would have turned ugly.</p>}} {{TErow| 130 | True to their word|True to their word the Leaders have sent help. Some troops are now assembling in [[Scarlum]], having returned home from the border. These will be seasoned, and hardened troops, ready for battle.}} |}
