"Gavin, I am the bearer of both terrible and joyous news. Which would thou hear first?"
"Umm... how 'bout the joyous news first?"
"The three armies of Roawia are united once more against a common enemy in the culmination of all these months' preparation. We fight back against the evil Queen!"
"That is excellent news, sir knight. But please, before we go any farther, who are you? I believe I recognize your voice."
"I was the second-in-command at our <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/classical_jazz_piano/11878186564 ">last meeting</a>, and I have since been promoted to a general."
"Well, my heartiest congratulations, my good man."
"Thank you, Gavin. And now for the terrible news. We are in dire need of your assistance. While we recognize magic is forbidden in Roawia, we have turned to you because we know you can be trusted to use it for good. But understand this: if it is used by you in the wrong way, or it gets out of hand, you will be instantly be placed under arrest by order of the Prince of Loreos. Is that understood?"
"Completely."
"Good. The next order of business is to ask you a difficult question. We have need of you to fight on the Royal Isle against the Queen's forces. However, there is a high chance that you will be killed or wounded in combat. The Queen's army is gathered in force there, and many brave souls will not survive the battle. But as you can see, we are desperate, coming to Outlaws for assistance. We need you Gavin, more than we ever have before. On behalf of the Prince of Loreos, I ask for your band to come and help us in this long and dreadful war."
"My good general, I have never been able to resist a fight. While I try to abstain from killing, if it is the evil Queen, I will gladly come rid your land of her. Perhaps then, we may have some peace. I recognize the peril in fighting on the Royal Isle, and I thank you for your warning. When do you need us?"
"As soon as you can get there, Gavin. We're gathering our forces. But beware, there are knights of the Queen stationed all around the area from here to there."
"Ah, well, we have our ways of travel. Recently we have discovered a network of tunnels running great distances under the Outlaw lands. We can use those until we are free of the majority of the Queen's army. We should be fine."
"Gavin, on behalf of his Majesty the Prince, I thank you. I pray you and your band will be safe."
"And you, General. Until we meet again."

"Halt, in the name of the Queen! State your names and your business!"
"Name? We're just an Outlaw band. Nice to meet some more Outlaws!"
"We're not Outlaws, we fight for the Queen, the Queen of all Roawia, her Majesty Galainir!"
"Oh, well, that's a shame."
"Huh?"
"ATTTTAAACCCCKKKKK!"
The battle was over in 15 seconds. Althalos and William (the assassin) easily dispatched the two guards.
"Galainir, we are here!" declared Gavin of Lockwood.
The war had begun.

After months of strategizing and planning, the rebellion broke out. All three factions of Roawia - Loreos, Lenfald, and Garheim, and even a few good Outlaws attacked the Queen's castle.
Things were not looking good on the south corner of the castle. Gavin, the Loreesi general, and a Lenfald squad decided to coordinate their attacks. Gavin put the Lenfels in charge of the bombardment and the Loreesi utiziling their cavalry and charging down a large hill near the corner of the wall. Gavin's band attacked the South Gate. The Queen's soldiers with other recruited outlaws came out of the gate like a wave and crashed into Gavin's band. The battle was joined! Projectiles from the Lenfel squad hurtled through the air as the Loreesi cavalry hurtled down the slope at full tilt and Gavin's band fought in hand-to-hand combat on the path. It was complete chaos!
