The Storyteller speaks
In the Land of the Silver Elves, there are two opposing parties. The larger of these has taken two hostages. The smaller group will set out to rescue the hostages, kill the opposing group’s leader, and then kill as many of the hostages takers as they can.
It is a good day to die … and be revived.
A Group of Ten had taken two hostages. A small 4-person strike force set out to attack with the goal of rescuing the hostages. Unfortunately, the strike force failed in their first attempt because an incredibly powerful weapon killed the entire strike force in a single blow. A great debate ensued. Decisions were made. The strike force retreated to strategize and decided to take out the leaders of the Group of Ten. Unfortunately, they were not swift enough and the Group of Ten vanished, secretly hiding inside the Faraway Leaf Inn. The strike force decided that since they couldn’t find the Group of Ten, they would consign the hostages to their fate and instead have fun playing winter games in the freshly fallen snow.
