Wesnoth LSM Story
A long long time ago, in a far away land.
That was in spring. So far, the weather had been very cool for the season, but not on this day. This day, the air was heavy. Heavy with unanswered questions. And while they were walking in this atmosphere filled with electricity, every warrior was wondering... Why did Big Chief Dave convoke them for this unexpected council? Councils were not a problem, they had some regularly, but at fixed dates every moons, not like this with last minute convokations!
Every warrior was present in the circle now. Big Chief Dave was about to speak. And he spoke. "My faithful warriors, I asked you to come because of an important matter". Rasping throats. The men felt uneasy, something serious was indeed happening. "I have some news from the uncivilized world. In a far country called France, a Big Event will be occuring soon. A powerful leader will gather his troops there. You may have heard of him, it is Richard M Tallman, hence called because he is the tallest singing Dwarf of the West. Hordes of gnus will be assembling. Plans to fight our common ennemy, the powerful empire of Asheviere, will be discussed there, and we have been invited. Unfortunately, I cannot come myself, but I ask you to go and speak for Wesnoth there."
Hurrays everywhere, the men were eager to fight, things had gone quiet for too long, a little action would be welcome. "But", said Big Chief Dave, raising his voice to interrupt the tumult, "but beware! This can be a perillous trip. These people are barbarians. We have to be an example of dignity, you will be representing the civilized world. You shouldn't draw your weapons unless absolutely necessary."
And at said date, they were all ready for a long journey. But soon, the first unforeseen problems arose. They knew well
each others, of course, but they never met in real life. They always used the magical powers of IRC to communicate, but
no one could tell how the others looked like. For instance, Miyo and his wife were to be fetched at the caravan
station, but how to recognize them? Big issue... Fortunately, the Mighty Bard, Aleksi, had a clue on this: "They're
Northerners, and I know Northerners very well. We'll find them easily, they have blonde hair!".
And indeed they had, if you had drunk enough alcohol before seeing them.
Finally, every Wesnoth warrior eventually gathered in Bordeaux. All were safe and sound, and ready for some action.
