[General] Your mind hears Asildu thinking, "A nice rainy evening, I see."

The rain increases in severity and is now a severe downpour.

[General] Your mind hears Xionara thinking, "Asildu! Come join at Forkbeard's! Drinking!"

[General] Your mind hears Asildu thinking, "Hmm. Sounds dangerous."

[General] Your mind hears Xionara thinking, "only if insult dwarves on beards. Otherwise safe"

[General] Your mind hears Asildu thinking, "Something tells me that wouldn't be the case for me."

The evening sky darkens, and a mass of winged creatures descends from the sky amidst the rain, circling slowly around Therenborough. As they lower themselves toward the ground, you can distinctly make out a mass of pristine drakes surrounding the Keep.

A Keep crier steps in and announces, "Asildu is surrounding Therenborough! Guards, to the walls! Adventurers, prepare for an attack! Defend the Keep!" He then rushes off.

[General] Your mind hears Asildu thinking, "This looks like a good night to take a stroll around Therenborough."

[General] Your mind hears Madigan thinking, "I hope to see you there."

[General] Your mind hears Xionara thinking, "will come find after drinking game. We have winner! Rhadyn proving dwarveses drink best!"

[General] Your mind hears Asildu thinking, "I do enjoy visitors."

Asildu Invades Therenborough

[Therenborough, Horseman's Run]
This wide dirt pathway borders the southern end of the town, providing riders with easy access to the main streets. A vast square, paved with granite and filled with milling people, opens up to the north. To either side of it, smaller buildings made from dusty red bricks and quaint thatched cottages are scattered between impressive marble structures. You also see the heraldic company, and a news stand with a couple of things on it.

A Heraldic commander issues forth a fierce war cry! Within moments, every soldier of the the heraldic company echoes him. The unsettling cry lingers in the air.

You notice as a white dog pads into the area.
