the massive komodo grunts.

"I was born before dad concieved you with nmother, then they split....I went with dad you went with mom...Its simple."

Johtenm growls.

"we can talk family matters later, i have buisness Gage."

The large reptile grunts and motions at you to follow, jarvan chuckles as he whispers.

"They dont get along too well.."

[Armoured Priest]

"Yea, you know, I'm starting to think there is alot I don't know." He said to Jarvan as he watched at the two large varghen walk away. He looks over to him. "Do I even want to know why they don't?" he asked him as they followed them again.

[Thugren]

" they abdobdoned johten after promising him dupport...."

You enter a tent where a massive Komodo sits . His armor is heavy interlocking plates covered with rust.

" so..... You are the pale one.,"

Johten stops across from the figure.

" your buisness is not with him shale."

The larger varghen chuckles, his voice gravely like a landslide.

" I will get to you soon jungle cat.."

[Armoured Priest]

"Well, I'm kind of here for the same reason Johten is." He said with a nod to the Tiger. "I'm just going to guess that you are my dad." He said as he looked over to the huge komodo. He was starting to feel very scrawny compared to him and his brother now. Although he was curious as to why he was using rusted plates of armor, seems kind of a waste to him. "Like I'm going to guess that there was a good reason as to not fufilling a promise of support. What happened excatly?" he asked, more to both Shale and Johten as he wanted the full story.

[Thugren]

the massive lizard waves your question aside.

"that is none of your buisnESS honestly.."

hE LAUGHS, klooking at johten.

"YOuve come for my support....And ill deny it again..You are not worth my time johten..Neither is the pittance problems of your kind,."

He waves the tiger aside.

"Sorry to have wasted your time..But leave."

[Armoured Priest]

"No, it IS my business." Thaes said now as he took a step forward. He can already feel his mind starting to pick up pace as his ire rose a little. "I would normally expect this kind of behaviour from some meager little shaved monkey of a human, not someone who is a respected warlord of powerful settlement." he said as he looked at the other komodo in his eye. "So tell me, where the hell did your spine go?" he asked. "Are you really going to let mother and a whole village suffer just because of your distaste for one varghen? If I remember right....that's pretty shitty leadership decision making." he said to him. "I don't know what is digging under your scales against this tiger, But I have more respect for these two then I would normally give anyone. And that's including you right now." He said causticlly. "This man, had to make a choice for the betterment of the people that made his own wife blind almost permeneantly. And what are you doing? You are going to let a village suffer more ghoul attacks, supply shortage, and maybe even switching their alligiance to the Black Raja." he said as he finishes the rant part. "So, tell me, who is really the good leader here? Or as another respectable person I knew once said, 'Who has the bigger dick here?'" he said in closing.

[Thugren]

Your brother growls dangerously and you hear the metallic rasp of blades as jarvan steps forward.

" johten may not be able to beat you beast.... But I will release tht head from your shoulders without a second thought."

Your father stands, bits of rust flexing from his armor as he growls.

" and who exactly gave you right to speak worm?"

He takes a step forward only to be shoved back roughly by johten.

" you watch your tone warlord... I killed to get my position and I will kill to protect t friend."


Shakes eyes flash.

" you know why I hate you johten? You're a hot head. Just like your father. But unlike him you don't know your place. You brought the rajasveyes wen you hunted his pet stalker.... You brought this blight on the land .. Your fathers death was tragic yes. But you answered it by waging a four man war that ended with your wife losing her eyes!"



Johten growls as static courses his fur

[Armoured Priest]

"So what, you been letting that bastard walk all over you like a scaly carpet?" He says to shale. "Are you that complacent in your place then? To be a bootlick for Damion? You want johten to learn his place because it's the same place you let yourself get in with him?" he questioned the warlord, his tone caustic and cold. "Johten maybe bit of a hothead, but he seems to be the only one who sees just how wrong this whole picture is." He adds. " Letting people be playthings to the black swarm just because you don't want to 'upset' Damion? How long do you think it will be before start picking off more leaders sport? Or just entire villages while all the time you are sitting here because of this 'I know my place' stupidity that you seem to whole heartedly agree with, like a good little trained animal?" he finishes once more, still unbelieving the fact that shale thinks the system they are working under would last.

[Thugren]

your brother steps forward with a growl and jarvan blurs in place, his blades make a deadly scissor aroundd the massive lizards neck and johten has his blade out in a flash, pointing it at shales heart.

"How dare you..."

the warlord growls, standing to his full height.

"are we to follow this fool? fighting the swarms and dying lijke fools when we can be safe? damion is not like the other ghoul rajas...he takes care of his subjects!"

[Armoured Priest]

"Because any child likes to have a huge collection of toys to play and break you blind idiot!" Thaes shouts at shale. "In his view, there is only room for ghouls. He keeps everyone docile so he can pick off all of you one at a time at his pleasure and without actual resistance. When one gets picked out, the rest of you sheep just sit and are glad it's not you." he said, glaring at him now. "What are you going to do when it's your turn? Because as far as I know, everyone else is going to sit on their ass like you did for his tribe." Thaes said, motioning toward Johten.

[Thugren]

Your brothers jaws begin to drool and jarvans blades pess his throat.

" ahh ahh...."

He coos, pressing tighter." Lets not get hasty...."

Johten points at shake who growls..

" we come as emissaries..... Assassins if need be."

He Griaia as shake spits.
" what choice do we have......"

[Armoured Priest]

"What any cornered animal should do.....fight." Thaes told them both. "Damion keeps throwing his swarms into wars far elsewhere, I doubt he will be expecting a force breakind down his backdoor, especially if he thinks he has them nice and pacified." he said, somewhat acidly on the last part of it. "And I doubt we are the only ones who hate the black raja either." he added, considering how he treats his subjects, having allies might be quiet obtainable. "I was told there was a lab back near the village, and an abandoned hive. How many other labs and hives are here in the Islands?" he asked, knowing they would be asking why he would ask for such information.

[Thugren]

Shale raises an eyebrow.

" there are over 20 labs within the immediate area.... Why."

Johten looks at to sidelong lowering his sword.

[Armoured Priest]

Although only a small smile was seen forming on his face, in his mind he was absolutly giddy with the possible information he could reap from all those labs. If it wasn't for the fact other people were around, he would have been bouncing on his feet. "Because damion is not the only one who can make ghouls." he simply said.

[Thugren]

shale slams his hands down.

"absolutely not!"

he roars, making the ground shake lightly with his anger.

"We will not Make those damnable abberations to fight even more of them! NO i will not allow it!"

[Armoured Priest]

Thaes looked at shale with a look that could only be described as 'really?" "And yet you allowed the ones controlled by your enemy to roam and take advantage of your lands for this long and kept your complaints and rage silent......but when it comes to the creation of ones by me that will fight the black swarms you suddenly have a voice, interesting." He commented. "I'm sure he's been in your lands long enough to know where all the settlements, warriors, and supplies are. If we get victories, that will show those who been allying with him that he is not as strong as he claims, and get them back to our side What he won't expect is a swarm that could fight his....so tell me, if you are you so oppose to it, what do you have anything that could give you that kind of advantage that is needed?" he asked him.

[Thugren]

shale growls but stays silent as johten looks at you sidelong.

"How quicjky can you make this swarm of you pale one.....If we do unify that is."

your brother growls and looks at his father..

"THey speak truth father...It will spare uis the cost of war and give us a chance to fight free."

[Armoured Priest]

"Depending on the condition of the labs, the resources I can gather for creation and arming, I would say a time period of months." he predicted as he went over a numbers of factors and variables in his head as it went into a burst of activity now. "Actually....how well protected are his own facilities would you say?" he asked, wondering if they would trully know as other ideas formed as well.

[Thugren]

Johten shrugs as shale stands.

"He guards them with his bone fiennds....GBhouls specific to this region...They can rip through infantry like butter.

[Armoured Priest]

"Hmm, know anything else about them, at all?" he asked, wanting any more detail if possible from them for he did not have much to work with. Meaning it would require for himself to go out and actually observe the creatures himself and work out a solution then since any infantry move would be too costly to make taking one lab worth it. His claws were folded to there and the fingers tapping on each other as he thought.
