[u][b]The Greatest Jubilee | Ponderosa Forest, Eastern Taeda Vale[/b][/u] [spoiler][i]Following the escape from Perth Hampton, the renegades spilt off into their own directions. Many of the nameless hunters follow the man who aided them in escaping the clutches of the Monarchy. The man walks to a small inlet. A pond shaped like a horseshoe, encompassing a peninsula with a broken tree stump. Fireflies sing songs of light that softly illuminate the small lake. He takes his Falcata from the half-sheath in his side, and sits on the stump. In his other hand, he twists a fragment of stained acrylic, feeling every nook and ridge it contains. The broken visor contains the right half of the cleft arrow insignia. With the visor piece still in hand, he reaches for his cowl and presses a hidden button from within it. An unmarked SOS Hums through all channels on the built in radio, hoping to call in allies. He knows if the Monarchy is listening, they will find him, but his chances of survival are nonexistent alone. He waits, slumped lazily against the stump, watching for whoever or whatever might cross his path.[/i][/spoiler] [i]As the rogues file in from parts unknown, the man hops up on the stump and opens his arms in a welcoming gesture. "I've never been good at the introduction and public speaking game, so I'll just let you all do the talking. In fact, why don't we play a game?" A plume of black smoke erupts from farther south in the forest. He sees this, and lowers his arms. "Five questions. That's all you get right now. So ask nicely.[/i] [u]Questions:[/u] [spoiler]1. [quote]What are we here for?[/quote] I've set bait, hoping that the most of you would come and find me. I see that it worked well, but many don't know why. The monarchy has grown from its roots. This land is plagued by its evil, and I can't stop it alone. 2. [quote]Who are they?[/quote] The Monarchy is a kingdom from a far off land. They've spread far and wide to expand their empire. The funny thing is that they used to be a land of peace. Now they've devolved into this: Slaughter, trafficking, the list goes on. They are void of humanity. I will give it to them in the form of blood. 3. [quote]So you are going to kill them?[/quote] No. You all are going to help me kill them. 4. [quote]Who are you? And who are the Marauders?[/quote] The marauders are a small, but very adept tactical response team that delves in the affairs of political and criminal worlds. They are heroes who selflessly give to the world what the world no longer can give itself: The will to act. They work extraordinarily well together, and have toppled crime organizations, militaries, and even a dictatorship regime. I do not consider myself to be one of them, not for all that's happened in between founding them and leaving. I am but a husk, who is looking to go back home and make things right. You may call me Faraway. 5. [quote]Why so mellow?[/quote] We're out of time. They've found us. And they sent an awfully familiar face to lead the charge.[/spoiler] [b]Directives:[/b] - Ask the shrouded man who he is. [b]Quest: START[/b]
