Briefing for Fort Ranik (Mission)
Lord Darrin: "I've seen this sort of thing before, and it does not bode well, not at all. What is it you desire, my friend?

Player: "Your words are quite grim."

Lord Darrin: "Today is a dark day in the history of Ascalon."


 * Player: "Why?"


 * Lord Darrin: "The Charr have breached the Wall again. They burn our homes and threaten to take what little we have left. The guards who man the Wall have fallen back, and the Charr army marches on Ascalon City."


 * Player: "How did this happen?"


 * Lord Darrin: "The Charr are beasts, but it appears they are not as stupid as many think. They organized a large invasion force and simply overwhelmed the garrison at the Northern Gate. Prince Rurk is directing an organized defense. Even now, he marches toward the Wall from the captial city of Rin. Even so, Rin is far to the west. By the time he arrives, Ascalon City may have already fallen."


 * Player: "Never fear, Brother, we will rise again."


 * Lord Darrin: "Your words are inspiring, but I'm afraid the end of Ascalon is near. How long can we hold out against such a beastly race as the Charr? They have only one goal, and that is to see the end of us all. You've heard the rumors... even Prince Rurik thinks the time has come to abandon the cities and make for the mountain pass.


 * Player: "What must I do to save Ascalon City?"


 * Lord Darrin: "The Ascalon Army is scattered and in retreat. But small teams are regrouping and making stands against the invaders. If you can push back the Charr, force them out and retake the Wall, Ascalon City will be saved."


 * Player: "I'm on my way. See you at the Wall."


 * Lord Darrin: "The events of the next few hours will either be written about in legend or torn from human memory by the claws of the Charr. THe choice of which of these things comes to pass is up to you. Good luck."
