Ulrich McMannusRecent Info: Looking into the rumours of the Prince... The night Prince Kier fled is a dark moment in Cynar's history. Some claim to have seen the cloaked prince fleeing into the night, astride his charger. He rode west." Ulrich's Captain writes to him c/o The Red-Headed Lady and Dehl sent the missive onto Korbo, who forwarded it to Hardy. Ulrich, In only a few days time we will be taking Prevan. Scouts have brought the news that we near Leathe's Castle, the Duke's home. Frelik is arrowing straight for the capital, leaving a trail of tenuous pacts with the nobles at his flank. They will sell out to the winner - they always do. I should be worried but although the Duke's men are fierce lads, they've never met our band. Still the difficult part will be when Jerrin arrives. The Emperors forces are superb, I fought with them twice. Jerrin has been locked in the passes on the way to meet us and his men have suffered a long winter march, and while we have been living well, it is tiring work. All the nobles resisted Frelik at first, but the man has a brilliant strategist, a female elf who reads the battlefield and it's forces like a book. She is the daughter of General Krelik, (advisor to General Akjara III) Your mother fares well enough. She madams for the troops these days and is a fierce woman in doing it. The girls get paid and there is little trouble, just as it should be for men in our profession. Verily it is all action with Frelik, he certainly gets his coin. I oft wish I'd stayed in the army, I could have retired by now. Did you meet with Seth as I sugested? Did you know he and I served together in two battles. In the Melurian States, where I was born there were constant skirmishes and a man could earn a full purse with hand sword-arm. Seth was already captain and brought me in and showed me the ropes. I have not found a replacement for you, Ulrich. I cannot find anyone interested in strategy these days, the face of war is changing. I asked the seargent what he thought were the underlying principles of modern warfare. "Hit the other fellow, as quick as you can, and as hard as you can, where it hurts him most, when he ain't lookin'. Sir" Yours in memory, Captain Johan Hess Aryen, 2*2 6050 Ulrich meets with Korbo... The insurance broker's name is Hardy-Har, he has an office in the merchant's quarter in Cynar. Approach him, tell him you have the money. He has a vested interest in seeing you succeed and it is his lawyers who will take on the acting government for the retrieval of the money. If he succeeds in getting your money he will have achieved something in his tiny, warped, money-grabbing mind - got your no-claim bonus. For years, Englick tormented him with it, never making a claim. Sometimes paying large sums from his own pockets just to watch Hardy's face go purple! Just don't let on that losing the no-claim bonus doesn't bother you. Then, I will have one of our ships in Norek within the week. They will ship the money back. Escort the money back or hire someone to do it. Since we no longer have Oban's claim I should be able to start the business up again and we should be trading profitably within a couple of months. I will only need about 500 gp to do this, so the rest of it - use at your own discretion. Background & History |

Born to instant poverty as the son of a camp prostitute,
Urlich soon learned the horrors and the companionship of war.
His mother, Remara, is part of the mercenary camp currently
employed by Frelik – ‘The Usurper’ His father could have been any of the fifty men attached to
the unit, though they all treated him well.
His skill at the sword was matched by his sharp wit and soon caught
the eye of Captain Hess, a lonely man who enjoyed the company of the young
lad. Soon he began to share
with him some military tactics, and life skills but most of all the art of
diplomacy. Urlich is
looking for a bow, made by a half-elven woodsman called Seth, who lives on
the edge of the elven forest but brings his bows to market every month.
