/TG/heim:Wu's Manchu (Battle Monks of Cathay)

Intro

Far to the East lies a Great Empire of Cathay, where every word of it's Emperor Wu is considered so significant, that entire noble houses are busy with recording his thoughts and fulfilling his every whim.

Once, display of exotic jewelry had piqued Emperor's interest..

And so began near-suicidal quest for retrieving the most rare jewel known - a comet, no less, that have recently fallen in the far away lands. Led by the ambitious Dong Long, a group of twenty soldiers, accompanied by three gloryseeking Dragon Monks and a bunch of mysterious peasants, started a journey through the most perilous lands known to man.

Only ten made it to the Mordheim.

Dong Long's Journal

Day 1: Arrived in Mordheim at morning. By the looks of it our group is not the only one here...

..Fought over city outskirts with foreign knights. Lost one of the monks. Captured some of the least ruined buildings. Hopefully that will gain me footing in the city.

Day 2: Marauders in my neighborhood? No way I'm going to let them go with my loot...

..Seized their chest. It's empty. Damn marauders.

Day 3: Exploration of the city was interrupted by the arrival of ogres. They shall not pass...

..I changed my mind. Better let them go. Six men down. Them ogres.
