It started like any other day. We were preparing to rebash Fire&Ice's palisade (like we have been doing for nearly a week now), but something felt different about this time. We decided to make this visit special.
We wanted to send a message. It's a message that Dis holds very dear to ourselves. A message of Love and Peace.
To convey this message, we boarded our specially made knarr for the occasion!
Shortly after setting sail, it became very clear that the rest of Dis wanted to accompany us on our mission.
We decided to gather all of our warriors and of course, all of our farmers as well. We wanted to make sure that we really got our point across this time.
We split into 3 groups. Our main group on the knarr (our messengers of peace), a group on the water, and our jolly group of farmers who were waiting inland with inventories full of pies and other sweets for our soon-to-be friends!
We were worried that we might scare Kenpachi-san if we showed our numbers right away, so our knarr group approached the walls first to 'test the waters.'
Our sailors knocked lightly on their palisade door, but got no answer.
They knocked some more, this time with force!
The wall came down and our group entered the village only to be quickly pushed back by fighters!
As you can imagine, we were amazed when this happened to us. We have only heard good things about this peaceful farming kingdom and we had never been attacked any other time that we entered into their walls???
They chased our messengers back to the water and our second group lent our fighters a few boats to try and talk it out with them; to let them know that we meant no harm.
But the hate-filled Kenpachi-san demanded blood! He ran at us in a blind rage!
It was clear now that negotiations would not work with these savages. They could only speak one language; violence.
We knew what we had to do.
Our three groups met and a large fight ensued between our factions yet again!

It was a hard fight (for them by the looks of it) and we lost one comrade due to massive lag spikes o7
Luckily, his body was returned with the others
They ran back behind their walls.
We exchanged words with one of them
We ported home to think of better strategies of how to reach out to this hostile faction in the future.
We walked away with several enemy corpses, but these two stood out from the others
What went wrong? How can we improve our approach?
We may never know the answer
