In Yew, two yewish Guardsmen joined the party, Wrental Roberts and Leo Madsen



The sun was shining as Watchman Kas Valentine made an opening to the Britain Moongate.
"Everyone inside!" John screamed for the bunch of Guardsmen standing infront of him.
"WAIT!" A high scale voice, yet smooth like a woman, Smedly the halfling trader yelled at the Guardsman to stop."Wha'?" John replies jumping from the sudden high tone.
"Maye we join you, we... we got some Things, to do in Britain"
"Why ofcourse..."
As they steped in the gate John tried to get the group of youngs guardsmen organized, but alas, a small group of Undeads attacked the party as they formed a line infront of their Junior, as the Undeads smacked their jaws togheter like mad the Recruits ran at one way and the watchmens ran another. John stod powerless as the guardsmens ran araound sticking the Skeletons then running away like scared chickens.

The Undead where scared away and finaly they could begin their journey to Britain



Already here one Guardsman deserts the party.


The road the Cove protectors traveled by was suddently split in two, Kiran suddently declared that he could read the sign as John asked the group wich way to take. They went for awhile and night creeped upon them.
"Hey this is'nt Britain!"
"KIRAN!!"




As they entered the huge city of Britain in the middle of night, they tried to find a tavern to spend the night

As night swept away the guardsmen went off to find the drunkard...
They walked into three or more taverns before finding a long beared muttering old man, sitting in the corner. At this stage, two more guardsmen had left the party.



John sits down at the opposite site of the old man.
"Who are You??"
"John Dell, sir."
"Wha ye wan't, little mongbat dropping you..."
"I've heard ye got some info for me"
"Wha!?" The man looks at him with widen eyes, "I know nothin' of no Legendary weapon!"
"That's it!" John yells out in triumph.



The man apperantly knew something about the legendary weapon, but did'nt want to give it away without be given something back.

"If ye help me get my, em... special wine to Britain, I will give ye some info, tall bastard..."The man muttered.



John and the remaining guardsmen took a moongate to Yew, where the mans 'Special' wine was located.
But the way back would'nt be as easy as it was on the way there. The man muttered something about the wine getting bad if traveled by moongates. They had to travel from yew, thrugh the dangerous Solen Caves, and that way back to Britain, the old Drunkard proclaimed.



As they made their way thrugh Yew, the Guardsmen stoped them and charged them for taxes.
"Will you help us escort this man and his horses safely thrugh Yew and maybe even all the way till Britain" John asked without even a bit hate in his eyes. Why was this? Had he goten over what Yew did to his beloved Commander? No probably not, maybe it was something speciall in that 'speciall' wine that the old man was carrying in his horses.

As the newly added members of the party and the Covian guardsmen continued till the end of the Solen caves, they got into trouble!





Preparing themselfs for the inevitable, the guardsmen set themselfs up in a arrow wedged shape. Taking the front, John watched the cave walls, when suddenly burrowing out of the ground the solen warriors attacked. With a incantation Kas grew a few inches, and started burning the ants to cinders with each strike of his fireballs. The stench of the ants assaulted the guardsmen, a revolting smell lingerd in the air

With a cry of command John held the formation tight as the first ant hit the wall of guardsmen. With a quick riposte Olchafa cut the legs under the beast, allowing Leo madsen to quickly strike his hatchet into the beasts underbelly.... Acid pouring out from the wound the beast screamed in agony and retreated, yet they kept coming.....

John sighted a horrific cretin in the distance of the cave, it stood double as tall as the other ants, its un-intelligent eyes seemed almost human, it knew the doom which was awaiting the de-moralised guardsmen....

Laying about with his twin swords, Roland cleaved a way through the enemy, dodging the acid with uncanny skill, quickly rolling under the pinchers of the ant, decapitating its legs. Quickly a spell blew its head off, acid spurting from it like a fountain.... Wrenthals sword melted as the acid hit it, leaving him defenseless. Quickly grabbing his belt knife he threw it into the eye of a nearby solen warrior, making it wail with pain, its voice making the rest of the ants freeze....

Boom, boom, boom.... The earth shook, the matriach had decided the humans needed to die.... the cave shook, its slime from the walls sending out ripples, making the walls seem alive, it charged.

Fireballs was deflected from the thick scales of the matriach, quickly it knocked Kas from its feet, leaving him to be in a certain state of death. John shouted a order, the guardsmen quickly cleaved into the matriach, letting there blades rip at its scaly legs. The matriach noticing the humans quickly flicked its legs to the sides, the humans went sprawling, leaving Kal infront of the giant queen ant.

The Matriach shrieked, Olchafa's axe had struck true, ripping scales and cleaving into the flesh of the ant from his mighty throw it knew it was defeated. Seeing this its minions ran off leaving the queen to its own execution.

Quickly Be-heading the queen with his halberd, John looked at his comrade, a exhausted smile appearing on his lips, they had won....


As they walked through the deep forests, they Covish Guardsmen started to recognise the suroundings, when the forest cleared and they came to open ground, and saw the first building...
"Wha?! Did'st you say ye wan' teh go teh Britain?"
"Yeh? Whas this then?" The Drunkard, also known as Quinn Jackson asked.
"This is Cove ye crazy drunkard!"
"Cove, Britain, same same but different" The drunkard replied "Oh, and stop calling me a drunkard, ye silly man"



As the party arrived to the barracks, Quinn Jackson gave his thanks to the Guardsmen, the Yewians fastly disapeared as soon they saw the wine trader was safe and sound at the barracks, A recruit fastly asked Quinn about the info as Quinn was turning his back to them.
"Oh thats right... Here is the info"He said, sounding rather sober, but just for a quick second as he went back to sluddering.


John Walks up to Sergant Arc's office. John was thinking about him retiring, then it hit him, they are all disapearing, soon maybe he's worst nightmare would come through, he would be the only one left... John sighed slowly as he put the parchment of papers wich contained the info of the legendary rune blade weapon. A good going away present John thought to himself...
