This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

"So foolishly bound to their duty, they are," she replies, "they have lost the heart of our common solder, but you still know to inspire and cavort with them. Go forth and show them the might of Dyonysus' progeny and inflame them for the war to come.

"And if you do it well you may win the heart of a lady," she says with a wink and only partially hidden leer.

An older man standing a step behind her frows at the words.

Discreetly, so as not to draw Ignatia 's attention, Deinos asks the old man about the other heroes.

"Gathered in Athens are too many of the great heroes of our age. No city, even one as well defended as Troy, can withstand our mighty gathering. Agamemnon, Menelaus, Ajax, Achilles, Petrolucus, Odysseus, Protesilaus, Philoctetes, Diomedes, and yourself are among the greatest. The Trojans can send less than half that number of heroes against us. Let them have their great walls and topless towers, we will tear them down and set Priam and Paris to the sword." he says fervently.

"Come, hero Deinos," Iphigenia interrupts, "the games await and I wish to see you ride that horse first then compete in the wrestling after."

Although the woman is young she is fully aware that the wrestling is done naked.

"Tell me the truth of why you frowned. Have the gods given you insight?"

"Well, it seems that while Agamemnon is devoting all his time to preparing for this war his daughter is using her new-found freedom to try and, ah, make friends in the camp." he frowns again.

"We all need friends! Let Agamemnon know I will look after his daughter. Now I go inspire these young soldiers!"

Deinos runs to the horse and jumps on. "Let's go!"

The horse buckles and has difficulty finding its feet (hooves, I should say) when the giant demi-god first lands on its back but it is a strong and well-trained animal and quickly takes to Deinos' lead. The other competitors are easily outclassed b Deinos and he quickly wins the event.

Iphigenia claps and jumps with joy watching Deinos win the race.

Deinos bows and then says to Iphigenia, "Come, let us watch the others in the wrestling event!"

"Yes, my Lord," she says with a squeal. "But I am so much more interested in seeing you compete in the fighting!"

The older man continues to frown and with every exchange between Deinos and Iphigenia his mouth draws down more. More than seems possible in an ordinary man.

Deinos ignores the old man. "These others would have no chance against me. I am here to inspire them to greater feats."

"Certainly, my lord, but will they not be more inspired when they see the awards you will earn from the competitions?" she says with a wink.

"Excuse me, my lady, but I just remembered that I must confer with the king."

Deinos gets up and walks past the old man. "Watch her."

"Certainly, Lord Deinos," the man says and for the first time seems less gloomy, "Her care is my duty commanded by King Agamemnon."

The girl is less pleased and Deinos can tell that she stamps her feet under the dress and begins to pout.

"Just because you have to guard me doesn't mean that I can't have whatever fun I want, Calchas. Just follow at a distance and don't scare off my friends. If my father knew -"

The rest of the harangue is lost in the noise of the crowd as Deinos walks to the general's tent. The guard at the tent recognize him and he is granted admittance. The crowd inside give him a respectful wave. At the centre of the room Agamemnon sits with Menelaus and Nestor.

"Greetings, good kings. How may I serve you?"

"Deinos, we were just discussing your exploits," Agamemnon says, "Your defeat of the Scythians has freed up many of our kings to join in this war against Troy but a few of these cities are now becoming more bold and unruelly without the threat of invasion hanging over them.

"By the way, has anyone heard from Rhesus of Thrace?" he asks the assembled crowd.

"You exploits in the games today," he continues to Deinos, "have made you a hero to the common soldier. We say you should keep your voice in their ears and maintiain their high spirits during the journey to Troy and in the war."

Deinos sees the old man Calchas enter the tent and continue his frowning. Achilles looks uncomfortable and morose.
