HIGHELD start look_at_p_proc You see an Elder of the Brotherhood. start->look_at_p_proc pickup_p_proc start->pickup_p_proc talk_p_proc I am too busy planning a defensive strategy. --- You gain --- experience points for convincing the Brotherhood to help. start->talk_p_proc critter_p_proc start->critter_p_proc destroy_p_proc start->destroy_p_proc get_reaction talk_p_proc->get_reaction Elder10 Good work with the mutants. We already heard that you destroyed their production facility. Thanks for taking care of that problem for us. talk_p_proc->Elder10 Elder12 talk_p_proc->Elder12 Meeting01 The meeting will come to order. All Elders are present and have agreed to hear out the claims of Brother --- . We shall determine what actions will be taken. Brother --- , tell us what you have seen to the north. talk_p_proc->Meeting01 Elder01 Greetings Initiate. I need to speak with you. (He motions for you to come closer.) talk_p_proc->Elder01 Elder04 Have you explored the entire northern territory? talk_p_proc->Elder04 combat ReactToLevel get_reaction->ReactToLevel Elder11 Err? What kind of response is Err? Leave! Now! Elder10->Elder11 Err? ElderEnd Elder10->ElderEnd No problem. Meeting02 And what did these mutants look like? Meeting01->Meeting02 During my explorations, I found a military installation being used by mutants. It is heavily guarded and patrolled regularly. Meeting13 Obviously we made a mistake. Elders, I am sorry for wasting your time. Would someone please remove this mental abomination? Meeting01->Meeting13 Norfa? Elder02 There is an urgent matter I need you to help me with. It's Maxson. We are pretty sure he's gone off the deep end. He keeps babbling about an army massing to the north. --- I'm not willing to send our troops up there into possibly radiated areas, unless I've got absolute proof that this "army" exists. --- I need someone who isn't a friend of the old man. Someone I can get an honest report from. Are you willing to check the northern region? Elder01->Elder02 About what? Elder08 Then you will make time to hear me out. Elder01->Elder08 I don't have time right now. Elder01->Elder11 Err? Elder05 And what do you have to report? Elder04->Elder05 Yes. Elder06 I didn't think so. You weren't gone for very long. Now, get back out there and don't come back until you have a FULL report. Elder04->Elder06 No. Meeting02a Meeting02->Meeting02a They are large humanoids. Their muscle mass is well beyond what a regular human could ever gain. There appear to be several of them guarding the gate in organized troops. Meeting04 What threat do you assume these "mutants" pose? Meeting02->Meeting04 They were big, greenish, and carrying weapons. Meeting02a->Meeting04 Meeting03 As you may know, our Head Scribe, Vree, has done an autopsy on a creature very similar to what you have just described. Do you believe these are the same? Meeting02a->Meeting03 Meeting04->Meeting13 Norfa? Meeting05 Frankly, your report has not shown us any proof that they are a threat to us. What proof can you give that they have hostile intentions. Meeting04->Meeting05 Just as the Brotherhood has been gearing up for battle, this "mutant army" has been preparing for something big. Meeting03->Meeting04 Yes. The description of the creature is nearly identical. Meeting06 So, by these actions they are taking, it is feasable that they will eventually come here? Meeting05->Meeting06 They have invaded Necropolis. They won't stop there. Meeting05a Meeting05->Meeting05a They are gathering an army. A heavily armed army. They certainly aren't going to just parade around. They intend to use it. Meeting08 What do you suggest? A preemptive strike at their military base? Meeting06->Meeting08 It is possible that they are already on their way here. The Brotherhood is the only real opposition they could have. Meeting05a->Meeting06 Meeting07 I don't believe that shows hostility. They could simply be protecting themselves from attack. Even we have to deal with the occasional attack. --- If they attack, it will be NOTHING like the occasional attack you get from the raiders. This will be a slaughter. --- Since they are coming out of that old military installation, I would imagine that they would have weapons comparable to your own. Meeting05a->Meeting07 Meeting09 So be it. You shall have three Paladins of my choosing to meet you at the Military Base to help you get inside. Elders, thank you for your time. Best of luck to you Initiate. Meeting08->Meeting09 Yes. I don't want them to know we are coming though.  A small team would stand a better chance of getting into their perimeter without being detected. Meeting10 If they are being led by a group out of the Boneyard Cathdral, then chances are they have a small army down there as well. --- If we take them out in the north, then it leaves our south side vulnerable. I can only spare a few men on this endeavor. Meeting08->Meeting10 That will only take care of one part of the problem. They're being led by a group coming out of the Boneyard Cathedral. Meeting10->Meeting13 Norfa? Meeting10->Meeting09 Give me a few Paladins to take out their base to the north. Meeting11 So be it. You shall have two Paladins of my choosing to meet you at the Boneyard Cathedral. Elders, thank you for your time. Best of luck to you Initiate. Meeting10->Meeting11 Give me a few Paladins to take out their base to the south. Meeting12 Elder03 Good. First go talk to Maxson if you haven't already. Report back to me when you've checked the northern territory. After that, we'll decide what to do with Maxson. Elder02->Elder03 I'll do it. Elder09 I understand. If you do travel up into that area and find anything, please, let me know. Elder02->Elder09 I can't do it right now. I've got other things I need to deal with. Elder07 I will inform the Elders. We will wait for Maxson's word on what to do. Go inform him on what you've found. Thanks for your help, Initiate. Elder02->Elder07 I've already seen a base to the north run by an army of mutants. Elder08->Elder02 You've got my attention. Elder07a Elder08->Elder07a You can go to hell old man. Elder08->Elder07a Forget it. I've got more important things to do. Elder03->ElderEnd Wish me luck. Elder09->ElderEnd If I find anything that resembles an army up north, I will let you know. Elder07->ElderEnd You're welcome. Elder05->Elder07 I've found a base guarded by heavily armed mutants. It looks pretty bad. Elder06->ElderEnd Yes, sir.
