Lustria; Late Summer 2514Igor grunted as he slashed open the Saurus warrior open it's dark blueish blood gushing out and wetting Igor's greatsword.
He turned and impaled a skink that had been comeing up behind him.
Pulling his blade free another Saurus was slain. the top of it's skull sent flying threw the air.
His last few bodyguard and for that natter, last scraps of the great army that had delved deep in to the jungle, had formed a ring around the paychest.
Rings. Igor thought. Thats what had gotten them in this mess in the first place.
***
Two and a half months earlyerIgor sat in the Blue Goblin tarven in Mareinburg tapping a coin against the grubby, tankard worn table, that he sat at.
The air was thick with pipe smoke and the smell of vomit and stale ale seemed to get in to everything.
Why his new boss had chosen this pice of crap to meet was beyond him.
Then again the place was filled to bersting with warriors and all other sorts of scum. Perhaps that was why General Galuci
had told him to be here.
As he watched the rooms three drunks stumbled out of the night and in to the tavarn.
Their leader was a thick armed, barrel cheasted man with a bald head and thick beard that spilled down to his cheast. He looked to be at least 54 or 55. A warrior perhaps? Or maybe he was just a thug? Looking at his Igor could see that he was raveing drunk, right up until he passed out in the bar stool and hit the floor snoreing like a prize wining pot belly pig.
He did not bother turning his head the next time he heard the door open again. He heard foot steps walking towards him.
"You Igor van Dwi?" asked a deep Tilean voice next to him
"Igor Waster van Dwi. You are?"
"I am General Valadini Galuci de Verezzo of Tilea. I am your new boss. I was at first frimly against this but my fr......"
Igor nodded and looked him over as he talked.
He was at least 43 amd a big man, made even bigger by his half plate. His skin was like leather and his hair was pulled back in a tale. A long white lock grew from a scar than ran from his right temple and down and over to his left eye, though his scar was mostly covered by his eye patch.
His belt was think and heavy. At it was a thin bladed sword and matching dagger and a heavy pistol of the Imperial style.
Over his back was a heavy dobble handed warhammer that had belonged do doubt to a Warrior Priest of Sigmar ay one point.
His thicklt stubbled, leather like face snarled as he talked
".... And so hear I am takeing on a new dog in the face of death with no training in the ways of war. Not onlt that but I am takeing him to Lustria a damn hateful place serching for some damn ring and ... are you hereing me boy?!?"
"Yes sir"
"Good" Valadini said sitting down next to Igor "Well do you have anything to say for yourself?"
"Just thank you sir"
"HA! You won't thank me when we get where we are goeing"
"Yes Lustria, I know"
"Know anything about it?" Valadini asked
"I have read a few books" Igor replied
"A few books won't help you lad" Valadini said leaning forward "I have been there, I know whats there, I have seen the vile things that live there with my own eyes" he paused 'Or eye rather" he added with a grim smile pokeing threw the thick stubble.
Igor nodded and gulped down a little. The look in the mans eye said he knew what he was on about.
"Anywho due to your lack of skill and most other things for that matter I will put you near the back of our battle lines. You said you had skill with money? Used to be a merchant? A banker?"
"Yes"
"Well just as it happens I don't have a paymaster. You'll do good at it I think and a paymaster's place is at the back of the battle lines defending the paychest normaly so you have even more reason other than my say so to stay back"
"Thank you Sir"
"No problem> Now he said you will want to know what we are doeing now don't ya?"
"Something about a ring right?"
"Yup but I think you should talk to the benafactor of our little stint. He will tell all"
With that Igor got up with Valadini and left the Blue Goblin and walked down the streets of Mareinburg.
