To the Elf commanders credit he did not show the incredible discomfort he felt from the hand shake of the barbarian. With another sack of money dropped on the table the men left the room, from outside Migeria could just make out the man who had escorted the two barbarians in start indicating the way out, before the door was slammed shut with a crash..
Eying the two bags that now sat on the desk, Migeria could not help but feel a sense of responsibility. He had just gave the lives of his men over to a unknown purpose..for what....For the items they needed and for money which was there primary purpose. With a sigh the elf placed his hands on his head and fell back into the chair behind the desk.
It was not until a faint knock sounded on the door that the elf looked up again. "Enter" Remarked Migeria in a calm voice, very unlike what he felt. The door soon opened moments later to admit the current scout command Ssavatt. The Saurid slowly made his way over to the now empty guest chairs and flopped down in one. "Ssow I's Takes itss thisss whent wellsss, Yesss." Remarked the scout command, his head bobbing up and down. The Assassin just eyed the Saurid, as there where Two bags of money now sitting on the desk..anyone could have figured that out. "Ve have a Contract if that is Vhat you mean...Bah I can't tell if this situation is good or bad. It's a confusing feeling. But no matter Vhat's done is done, Go..Get Lrass and Dunbar we have things do discus."
Jumping back to his feet Ssavatt gave a quick salute and left the room leaving the elf command once again with his thoughts.
************************************************** **
It had taken some time but the Scout commander soon returned with the men Migeria had asked to be brought. His second in command Lrass, The company druid. The Archer commander Landon, and The Company Medic and Arms captain Dunbar Drakes. As The elf commander eyed each in turn he could see the readiness they all showed. There was no question they all wanted some action. However, this particular situation was not going to be a normal one. The Raven's Wing in a way was about to be placed on show for all archadoon to see. With there Success of failure would depend all contracts from now on. Even if that meant there would be no one left to except such contracts.
"Vell I have gathered you all here becouse Ve have obtained our first contract. That is our first contract after our return. It Vould appear there vhere some incidents since last the Raven's ving Existed on these grounds. A fire apparently swept through most of the area burning down much in it's path. In doing so the fire Viped out most of the old militia. Currently, a group of Mercenary's now holds command over the city and they are the one's Vith Vhom our contract is set." The elf commander stopped there for a moment to let what he had just said sink in and then continued.
"The Particulars of the situation at the moment are not important. Vhat is, is that there is a section of the city that is resisting reconstruction. Apparently there are some undead running around this particular section of the city and the current city keepers, a barbarian clan, are unable to spare the man power to clear out this problem. That is Vhere Ve Come in. Our orders are to Lend a hand to the Current group of Mercenary's to clear out the location." Almost as soon as Migeria stopped speaking Landon, and Ssavatt burst out in protest.
"This is Preposterous, Ye know we Work Alone." Yelled the Archer commander as he paced the room.
"Ssavatt agress with'ss the Archerss thiss is notss what Vincentss would have'ss doness." Remarked the scout commander seconds later.
"Do I look like Vincent." Yelled the elf commander in response. "I care little for your objections right now, if you have not noticed Ve have no food, Vater or any other times...Ve needed this contract, and besides Vith it the Raven's Ving has obtained 400 gold and the promise of Provisions aplenty till ve get on our feet again. Even Vincent could not have turned down such a bargain."
The response silenced any further objections, only Landon appeared to still harbor and feelings of upset. "Lrass, I need you to get a list ready for the quartermaster of the barbarian force, giving a accurate list of our needs. The rest of you I Vant your men ready and in gear Vithin the next two days. Understood."
As one the men yelled back "yes Sir"
"Good, then you are dismissed"
