[19:04:25] [Solus]: *rubs my back*
[19:04:27] [Queen Arya]: lmao
[19:04:38] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you all for attending this Emergency meeting on such short notice.
[19:04:53] [King Blackthorn]: We had an Orc walk in to Britain today.
[19:05:03] [Tala]: *looks around at the lack of guards*
[19:05:21] [King Blackthorn]: Through the city, saying nothing, crossed the bridge into the castle grounds.
[19:05:37] [King Blackthorn]: The Kingsguard halted him at the gates, and we spoke briefly…
[19:05:57] [King Blackthorn]: Our brief talk was enough for me to call this meeting.
[19:06:09] [King Blackthorn]: I have invited him to speak, in this public forum.
[19:06:21] [King Blackthorn]: Please show him respect and calm when he arrives.
[19:06:28] [King Blackthorn]: I think you will find him unique among his race.
[19:07:21] [Tala]: Does he come from the same hole you did blackthorn?
[19:07:30] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: Move it.
[19:07:40] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: *climbs on table*
[19:07:41] [Galathan]: *chuckles*
[19:07:52] [Queen Arya]: wow
[19:07:53] [Tala]: *looks at man on table*
[19:07:53] [Queen Arya]: sir
[19:07:56] [Queen Arya]: sire
[19:07:58] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: That’s better.
[19:07:59] [Queen Arya]: stand back
[19:08:00] [Tala]: yep…he must
[19:08:06] [King Blackthorn]: *chuckles*
[19:08:22] [King Blackthorn]: You asked to speak, you have your forum Orc.
[19:08:41] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: I am Ruuh’glax of the Blood Chosen!
[19:09:09] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: I am Chief among my people, this be a recent thing.
[19:09:27] [Khaleesi]: *nods intently*
[19:09:28] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: My speech and my mannerisms may seem strange, for an Orc.
[19:09:31] [Tala]: Did you make yourself chef like blackthorn made himself king?
[19:09:43] [Khaleesi]: but you do not speak their language well
[19:10:00] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: I have recently been given a bit of insight to the ways of the world by a mutual friend.
[19:10:12] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: The White Hart, I believe you call him.
[19:10:21] [Queen Arya]: hmm I had heard this
[19:10:21] [King Blackthorn]: *strokes his beard*
[19:10:33] [King Blackthorn]: That is an interesting statement.
[19:11:19] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: This creature spread before me the fact that you humans dispite your racist tendencies
[19:11:23] [Khaleesi]: *ears perk*
[19:11:29] [Khaleesi]: White hart
[19:11:38] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: Toward my race, have come to a cross roads.
[19:11:44] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: As have my own people.
[19:12:02] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: Too long have we been trampled underfoot, driven out of our ancestral lands!
[19:12:15] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: By your farms and your outposts!
[19:12:41] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: You build a farm over oooour temple grounds, you kill us by the hundreds!
[19:12:54] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: Thankfuly, our women are much more receptive than yours seem to be.
[19:13:00] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: *laughs loudly and snorts*
[19:13:06] [King Blackthorn]: *stifles a chuckle*
[19:13:29] [King Blackthorn]: Chieften, are you here to argue the crimes of our people against yours?
[19:13:38] [King Blackthorn]: Surely such a debate would only cause a greater rift.
[19:13:44] [King Blackthorn]: This is not what we discussed.
[19:13:52] [King Blackthorn]: *crosses his arms*
[19:13:57] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: *snorts*
[19:14:15] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: I just want these humans to realize that my people do not trust them.
[19:14:23] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: We have no reason to.
[19:14:32] [Khaleesi]: Just be aware
[19:14:37] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: However, the Orcish people are in trouble, and not from you humans.
[19:14:49] [Khaleesi]: Orcs in Vesper
[19:14:50] [Queen Arya]: oh?
[19:14:54] [Khaleesi]: is not welcome
[19:15:02] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: Something has infected many of my kin, and I fear the infection may spread among you.
[19:15:05] [Khaleesi]: we have had much repair to our bridges
[19:15:20] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: My clan is as of now far too small, and could spark a civil war…
[19:15:31] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: If we step in.
[19:15:39] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: *looks down*
[19:15:53] [Solus]: We should kill the healthy ones too just to make sure it doesnt spread
[19:15:59] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: I sat praying at my morning prayers to our diety, the BLUDGOD.
[19:16:18] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: I speak to our God as if he were a friend.
[19:16:37] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: HE has given me many blessings, many victories, and now sent the White Hart…
[19:16:43] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: to guide my clan.
[19:16:58] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: In return I pay tribute and prayer in his name.
[19:17:03] [King Blackthorn]: *nods slowly*
[19:17:28] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: Today as I took to my knees, the blood at the base of his statue began to overflow.
[19:17:43] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: It seemed to boil and churn.
[19:18:08] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: The blood began to coagulate and form into something.
[19:18:12] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: A beast.
[19:18:24] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: I retreated and began to watch.
[19:18:33] [Tala]: Can’t we just put an arrow in his head? and move on?
[19:18:34] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: As it started to infect others.
[19:19:02] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: My Orcish side screamed for me to attack it and die in the glory of my attempt.
[19:19:24] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: However, this newly aquired intelligence has caused me to come here.
[19:19:42] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: If you can keep this infection from spreading.
[19:19:54] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: Keeping my people from an all out blood lust plague.
[19:20:07] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: Then the Blood Chosen Clan would be in your debt, for now.
[19:20:14] [King Blackthorn]: Hrm.
[19:20:22] [King Blackthorn]: Governors?
[19:20:28] [King Blackthorn]: Governor Solus, your take?
[19:20:37] [Solus]: Lets go kill anything that moves
[19:20:39] [Solus]: Thats my take
[19:20:44] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: *seems to glare at Solus*
[19:20:46] [Queen Arya]: heh
[19:20:55] [King Blackthorn]: Governor Andrasta?
[19:20:57] [Tala]: *nods at solus*
[19:20:59] [Andrasta]: yes
[19:21:05] [Andrasta]: my Liege
[19:21:14] [King Blackthorn]: What do you think we should do?
[19:21:24] [Andrasta]: i think we should help this man
[19:21:25] [Shmeigal Shmooze]: off with his head !!
[19:21:30] [King Blackthorn]: Help this Orc, or let them swim in their blood plague?
[19:21:31] [Andrasta]: and show some compassion
[19:21:38] [King Blackthorn]: *nods*
[19:21:42] [King Blackthorn]: Lady Khaleesi?
[19:22:16] [Khaleesi]: *takes thought*’
[19:22:49] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: The statue never runs out of blood I assure you.
[19:23:29] [Queen Arya]: research
[19:23:33] [Khaleesi]: I am at odds with this
[19:23:34] [Queen Arya]: take samples
[19:23:37] [Queen Arya]: if its dead
[19:23:41] [Queen Arya]: how do we know
[19:23:44] [Queen Arya]: anything
[19:23:50] [Khaleesi]: We have had issues of late .. as we have noted
[19:23:52] [Blood Guard]: Orc Meat… tastes like dirty chicken.
[19:24:02] [King Blackthorn]: I think our delay and inaction in Trinsic should serve as a warning to us.
[19:24:21] [King Blackthorn]: A delay for research and comittee could very well exasperate the situation.
[19:24:27] [Queen Arya]: well if like trinsic we could party with the dood
[19:24:34] [Galathan]: My King Lord Lew is on his way
[19:24:34] [Khaleesi]: They have made our bridges untraveled
[19:24:40] [Khaleesi]: and well documented
[19:24:57] [Khaleesi]: so..
[19:24:58] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: My clan has not attacked a human city since we formed.
[19:25:03] [Andrasta]: Consider New Magincia a safe Haven for these people if they need one
[19:25:19] [King Blackthorn]: I agree with Orion.
[19:25:22] [Khaleesi]: What is my thought?
[19:25:30] [King Blackthorn]: I think we should render aid to our neighbor as a show of goodwill.
[19:25:33] [Khaleesi]: It is for the best interest for Vesper
[19:25:40] [King Blackthorn]: However, I think we should keep our wits about us.
[19:25:52] [King Blackthorn]: What is your plan Chieftan?
[19:26:11] [Tala]: Orcs…Lets next help the Necromancers in umbra…
[19:26:16] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: At the statue of my Bludgod you wil find many infected.
[19:26:29] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: Kill them, and any others that may be infected.
[19:26:45] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: If you se the creature crawl from the blood pool, kill it.
[19:26:54] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: It may serve to stop this plague.
[19:27:04] [Queen Arya]: destined to break a nail tonight
[19:27:18] [King Blackthorn]: Go! To Orc Dungeon!
[19:27:26] [King Blackthorn]: Ruuh’glax, we will help you.
[19:27:34] [Lew]: i think ill stay here sire
[19:27:36] [Blood Chosen Chief Ruuh’glax]: *nods slowly*
[19:27:37] [Lew]: I am rather sore still
[19:27:43] [King Blackthorn]: *nods to Lew*
[19:28:03] [Blood Guard]: I shall go back and report to Lord Tazar.
[19:28:20] [Galathan]: *sighs*
[19:28:26] [Tala]: Will you join us? false king?
[19:28:37] [King Blackthorn]: Tala.
[19:28:37] [Tala]: *looks around*
[19:28:38] [Queen Arya]: sighs*
[19:28:39] [Tala]: no guards
[19:28:40] [King Blackthorn]: Don’t test me.
[19:28:45] [Lew]: has anyone seen Solus
[19:28:45] [Galathan]: *chuckles*
[19:28:58] [Galathan]: he’s there Lew
