Jumalla 2844 Azyan-Jumalla Action 1,2&3 Traitor comes out of hiding. "Were are we now?" "In the so called palace, now shut up and get your club out, there could be trouble." so saying the group of five continue to stalk along the corridors, each pumped full of adrenaline. Their first obstacle proved no problem, the napping guard fell noiselessly to the floor and into eternal slumber. As they entered the Greyspear apartments there luck ran out. For unbeknown to the would be assailants Naylia, her guards and several of the council were in silent thought mover the building project and noticed almost comically how the group opened the door and began sneaking across the moonlit room. What followed however was not comical, as guards fell upon the assassins with spear and club, leaving four pulped figures spread about the floor, and a fifth pressed against the wall surrounded by angry faces. Naylia stepped forward. "Who are you and what was you purpose" silence was the answer. Taking a spear from one of the guards she proceeded to probe the mans most sensitive areas most professionally. This continued until dawn break, finally the man broke. "The Tribal leaders, allies of Rimues late Northern rival, asked us to take the Karish spawned babe and kill him as a sacrifice against Rimue." The Tribal leaders were brought before the Council and one by one sentenced to death, the ceremony however was received with mixed feelings those related to the condemned were naturally agitated others all for giving the wild cats a feast. In the next few days things deteriorated to the point of street fighting between the two factions, indeed things would have got worse were it not for Rimues timely return with the Azya-Jumallian army. Addressing the Crowd (with his men behind him) he called for order and summoning all figureheads of the trouble asked for a explanation. For 4 hours did the meeting go on. Climbing to the Palace balcony he addressed his people. "Over the last decade we have gone from mud grubbing primitives to a people to be respected, yet some among us require that we return to the old ways....I have been fair, indeed more then fair to all who came, now my sons life is nearly taken, enough those who wish to stay may do so, those who wish to leave may also do so. Be warned those who leave are to leave completely, not just from Kumalla but from my realm upon pain of death, there shall be no more kindness to those who oppose me, no more equal rights, from this day forth we of Azya-Jumalla shall conquer, lay waste and enslave all who oppose the will of our state. Those who wish to leave have a week to leave then I shall hunt you from Azyian soil every man woman and child of you, there will be NO mercy. Now choose" Having said his judgment he reentered the Palace. ** Primary Determinant: ? ** ** Weight: ? ** ** Actors: ? ** ** Secrecy: ? ** ** Difficulty – Very Hard (-2) ** +1 Bonus for Rimue (from previous action) +1 Council rules to stay as a whole +1 Most of the army remain (after a decade of fighting, living and training together, the army IS their family) +1 The successes of the past are hard to ignore +2 (2 extra actions) Modifier +6 ** -2+1+1+1+2(-1000)=+2 The people support Rimue.
