Aten knocked on the door of the large mansion. He whistled to himself, waiting for someone to open it.
A slit opens and two eyes come into view.
"Who are ya?" says the servant.
"My name is Aten. I have come here to inform Ishtar of the dangers he is in. He had slain five young goblins near Foirin about a month ago. The goblin council is assigning several warg riders to storm this castle within a few days."
Fear grows in the eyes of the servant.
"Hold on a minute ok?". With this, the slit closed and the servant ran towards his master, Ishtar.

"Yea.. its true allright. Who knew that warg riders still existed? Wargs are more or less extinct in Rythanis.
Anyhow.. what should we do?"

- 'Fu, Fu! So he really did manage.' Alsdair thought as he road up. He had found it hard to believe that Ishtar had managed to buy himself a small castle, but here it was. Alsdair dismounted and knocked on the main door, surely Ishtar wouldn't mind offering some hospitality to an old friend.... How was the knight soppused to know that it wasn't a good time for simply inviting oneself in?

ishtar already standing in the hall, jumped at the sound, then said to aten,"that was quick, we didn't even set out to find somebody, maybe god up there is smiling on me." ishtar went to the door and seeing alsdair smiled,"greetings old friend of mine, on countless quests we have been, but now i will give u shelter however, troubled times lie ahead of us, as aten has heard a band of warg riders are heading towards my home, and if my worst fear comes true, the goblins and orcs may have united for a commaon cause. i wish you no harm and would let you remain in the house, unless of course you would help me out yet once more alsdair!"

Alsdair seemed to be absolutly calm as he answered, - 'I'll lend a lance and sword to the fight. Deep down inside he thought, 'd**n! And here I was simply wanting to see his house and live on his expense for a while... A well I was needing some exercise latley anyway.'

ishtar smiled," thank you my friend, you till the oncoming fight shall live entirely on my expense and will have acess to all rooms except one, the portrait room, i am sorry but this has to be done for personal reasons, i have many rooms in which both of you will be alotted one of your own choice. Warg riders are fast creatures but will only be here till the dawn of the day after, till when you are my guest." ishtar lead alsdair inside and announced him to aten.

Aten looks at Alsdair and thinks - 'Not that goody two shoes again!'
"Hello Alsdair. Nice to see you. How've your travels been? Nice place innit?"
Aten looks to a passageway.
"Hey Ishtar.. show him the conference room. We can discuss there."

'A highly impressive place.' Alsdair answers Aten as he is ushered along, 'While my travels were neither interesting nor profitable.' He finish's his reply and turns to admiring the rooms again. 'How do we know that they're coming?' He starts suddenely, 'And what sort of forces can we expect to meet?'

"Atleast 6 warg riders are headed this way. They got directions from a bunch of scared villagers in Foirin. Luckily, I know a shortcut from Foirin to here and somehow, I have arrived before the wargs did.." ((A warg rider - img-fan.theonering.net/rolozo/images/sotomayor/Wolf_raider.jpgThe party had already reached the large, impressive conference room when Nightwolf entered. Aten seems surprised. "Nightwolf? Have you been eavesdropping all this while? How'd you get in?"

ishtar enters the room, and then looking at aten says,"oh, he spent the night here yesterday, he said he had just come from fighting the goblins, on seeing them make a hasty retreat, he decided to spend the night here instead of following them.it's funny because i have never seen a goblin give up, they normally have a fight to the death, i think it's because of tis they are planning to hold a raid." ishtar sighed then sat down,"ok , lets analyse the situation, 1) goblins are really stupid, 2)wargs are a part of the orc clan, 3)the goblins may have joined with the orcs, 4) goblins and orcs are both afraid of the light, hence will attack at dawn, in the early hours or at night, and the last point is 5)there are 4 of us, 6 of them."
"it looks bad, however it may be worse, the 6 wargs might have been a scouting party, they might have reinforcements, so even if kummo and aten are able to call for their eagle and wolf allies, we are grossly outnumbered."

'It could be difficult for orcs to simply enter this city, even if they did than this house seems to be a fairly defensible location, we could wait for them here, only sending out Atens eagles from time to time to see teh area... that is if it is possible,I don't know what his eagles are willing to do.'
