Storm King's Thunder + Against the Giants

OOG LOL, I really am tempeted to answer honestly, but I just say:  You'll see when you get there ;-). Totally agreed on the interesting story so far.

(OOC - AHHHHHHHHHH SO EXCITED!)

"These events, they are forming faster than I can comprehend. We must be steadfast in our resolve. Giants, sure. We can fight them, fight them all. But there is something wrong about all of this. I know you Nalla, your thirst for battle, but the rest of us are just here. In this void on the ether, floating towards destiny. We must go to Gauntlgyrm. There, in the forge of the dwarven folk is a primordial being, an elemental fire titan by the name of Maegera. Her power is more than any being you have ever seen or encountered. She is interred in the great forge of Gauntlgrym. I have reason to believe that she is going to be taken by outside forces in this crusade against the small folk. I came from my homeland to find the source of this power and make sure nothing happens to it."

Ren looks down at his hands, they were clasped tightly, entwined within one another. He could feel his fingernails digging into his skin, yet he persisted. "I don't expect you to care, Nalla, words lose their hold with your righteous anger and blood fueled steel, but the more I know the better your attacks will be. You're gonna like the way you kill. I guarantee it." Ren smiles and waits for a response. Willing them to hear his claim, to listen for the purpose in his words. They must agree to this, the fate of the North, and the South, depend on it. For this he was sure. 

(OOG I couldn't help throwing in a Men's Warehouse quote...sorry :P )

(OOC - Is Ren the new spokeperson for Men's Warehouse??)

"I meant no disrespect, my friend. Sometimes I can sound cold, even uncaring. I don't mean to be and if I came across as such I apologize. I do see. I see you, Nalla. I see your strength and embrace it. Your clan would be proud and is smiling on you from the great beyond. I see you too, Garthart, your cunning, and friendship. And Erakas and Marshmmellow, their bond has forged itself upon all of us. And Snowfall. Even you Sirac. The road ahead will be hard. What do we have left to lose except each other now?" He stops for a second before continuing, "I think we are on a path that we have no choice but to follow. So far, we've excelled when we have stood shoulder to shoulder with the dangers of this world. I will do everything in my mind's power to keep us safe and lead us on the right path. I will use everything at my disposal to fix this world, but I need to know that I have each of you by my side as we continue down this path. That we have an absolute trust in one another. I do trust you, my new friends. I do. But we all share the same path so we must all go down the same road. Together." Ren raises his fist high in the air and uses the deepest voice he can muster. "ORDO URSA!"

Snowfall lifts her head and snorts at Ren for his exclusion of her. Rockhand pats her on the head. "I'm here because I choose to be. I go with my friends."

"Then it is known."

Grathart listens to Ren's speech about the power beyond all else and is intrigued, but when he gives the speech about new friends it stirs within Grathart, "My allegiance is first to my conclave, they saved me and gave me the power I wield against our enemies..." Grathart pauses to reflect, "...But know that I will follow you Master Ren, for so long as it takes to defeat the Giants, thwart their plans, or at least die trying." Grathart nods and then turns his face back to the fire.

(OOC - Erakas suddenly feels bad he went to sleep now hehe)

"Not in me, the Ordo. But I know what you mean, friend. We must be one in our quest. For I foresee this being larger than all of us, larger than the Giants who run amok across the Realm. I too have a bond to my family and my people, my faction as well. But this, I will be unwavering. For the fate of the North, I place my trust in the Ordo Ursa. In all of you." Ren stands up and smiles at his companions. Knowing that he planted the seeds of what must come next. He did what he must. And they will do their part. "We are a clan, now, Nalla. We live and die, next to each other. Clan Ordo Ursa." He walks up and tussles Snowfall's head, "Welcome to our clan, Snowfall."

"Let's get some rest. Our journey is just beginning." With that Ren goes to his room and lays down. Closes his eyes and falls into the dream world. This time he only dreams of flying through the air, free from cares.

OOG Real bounding time!

(OOC - it's ok, Erakas is pretty committed to solving this mystery even without Rens speech.  I'll be curious as to what happens in Luskan)

OOC: Nalla Condensed? lol

(OOG Well...lol Erakas needs to know what we're up against and our resolve to figuring it out. I am sure he's on board, but it has to be said. Well, I believe it does. lol)

The next morning Erakas wanders in to the common room and greets Mil.  He takes a seat at a table near the door and orders a plate of food.  Shortly after the food arrives, snuffling can be heard and Marshmellow wanders over for breakfast too.

"Good morn Mil, hope all is well.  Have there been any local disturbances out of the ordinary that you've heard about?"

"Good Morning. No, pretty much the same here in Hundelstone. Breakfast?"
