Your city is not far from our own homes. If someone does not repel the demon army, then likely they will spread, and we will be one of their targets.

On a personal note, demons have no place in the natural world. I will assist you in ridding our plane of thwir corrupting presence.

Alav was leaning carelessly against a carriage.

"I assume you have some kind of plan or idea, and the incentive to make it worth our while?"

of course, you have the drow, so skullport is open to you, and we will give you positions of some prestige in our court, and your pick from our personal army, along with the prestige that comes with reclaiming a major city for the forces of good, im sure the church of helm will reward your sacrifice (not meaning your life, but injury and effort, of course) to close the gate to the abyss, we would recommend you reclaim an outlying farm and use that as a rallying point to strike out from, remember, the goblins will probably have looted our armories, feel free to recapture and re purpose those arms and armor.

one of the nobles, the oldest, turns to another and says "i like this one, he has his prioritys straight". he then turns to grunyar and says "we know that the goblins number in the tens of hundreds, and there is about one demon to ten goblins, and that this entire army is controlled by a vrock named ezecraviel, and that few demons leave the keep, as, while they are on this plane via the portal, they die as if they were in the abyss" any other questions, those are the basics.

why would we face them all at once, now five of us, against thirty goblins, those are satisfactory odds she says smirking confidently also, a vrock is a form of vulture-like demon, very destructive, they can fly, the drow often use them against svibnerblin settlements, the end result is rather difficult to describe while in proper company she jerks her head in the direction of the royal family, suffice it to say, it is dangerous

Well, we can't know anything until we start. And very goblin patrol killed is one less for their army. Let's see about retaking some farms, eh?

the nobles turn to you and say "good work, the drow should be able to get you as far as skullport , from there there is a series of tunnels that lead to the surface, from there, farms are scattered every which way"

Alav straightened his posture and strode around the caravan.

"Well the good news is, if its actually a vrock, it shouldn't be that hard to outmaneuver."

"im afraid there has, the nearby nations attempted this, and were turned back by the horde" they say uneasily "but that was twenty years ago, the time is ripe for another try."

"What did that nation send?" the dwarf asks skeptically. "An army or just a scouting party?"

"well, i wouldn't exactly say an army, so much as a large contingent of their forces..." the old man says "besides, you are an elite strike force, not a bunch of blundering commoners recruited right from the farms."

He smirks at Grunyar and remarks, "Now that seems up our alley. Let's meet back up at camp and discuss our plan. We'll probably want some kind of reconnaissance to begin with."

With a nod to the noble Alav began walking away.
