Before they departed, Kiet Kiet notified Tacyon of the possibility that Klaes Cadogin could possess documents pointing to the locations of the other cells, which would allow the ALF to rebuild. | Before they departed, Kiet Kiet notified Tacyon of the possibility that Klaes Cadogin could possess documents pointing to the locations of the other cells, which would allow the ALF to rebuild. | ||
===Exile=== | |||
Tacyon and four of their closest companions headed south, hoping to cross from Ante to [[Elixis]]. They encountered a fellow ALF member and companion of [[Lyss Cadogin]] named Phree who had participated in Tallas's operation, who confirmed that Tallas and Lyss were dead. She also confirmed that a final letter from Lyss had been transmitted to Ardrigde. | |||
The group managed to escape to Elixis, bar one member who was killed or apprehended by Antan forces near the border. The remaining members of the party decided that continuing on to Sylthe or Basillera would be safer, as Antan security forces could operate in Elixis as part of the international presence there. | |||
Their journey continued onwards to Nycen, where the party agreed to stop. After a short discussion, a decision was made to form the ALF-Nycen Branch as a cell in the old style. | |||
All five members of the ALF-NB attempted to integrate into Nycen life. Tacyon found employment at a local shop, taking the name '''Howie'''. They, like all members of ALF-NB, save a portion of their wage as part of a collective fund, intending to use it to buy weapons and a ship to travel back to Ante. | |||
During their time in Nycen, Howie was able to contact the ALF agent at Ardridge, who stated that Klaes had left Ardridge, presumably going home to avoid his upcoming exams which the agent believed Klaes would inevitably fail. | |||
Almost exactly a year after leaving Ante, Howie was startled to see a young human who almost exactly matched the description of Klaes Cadogin Lyss had given him enter the shop Howie worked at. The coincidence was incredible, as Lyss had assured the ALF that Klaes was unlikely to leave Ardridge at all, let alone Ante entirely. Howie probed the wizard with a few questions and learned that he was indeed Klaes, and that he was camped a short distance away from the centre of town. | |||
Howie approached the tent where Klaes and his companions were camped at during the night, after discovering that the members of [[Group 7422]] still awake were engrossed in playing music. They poked around the bags, locating one that seemed to belong to Klaes, but were interrupted by [[Gerardanson Durand]] exiting the tent. Howie attempted to distract Gerardanson by complaining about the music being played, which included an Antan military tune, and as soon as the ex-general had turned his back Howie struct him across the head and ran off. | |||
Lamenting the missed opportunity, Howie resumed their work at the shop. The ALF-NB's collective fund was reaching enough to buy a ship, and one of their members named [[Bornei]] had intercepted a cartful of pikes and swords which had been stashed near Nycen. Unfortunately, only a few days after the run-in with Group 7422 the second Woodhollow expansion occurred, engulfing Nycen. | |||
The ALF-NB helped organise the evacuation from Nycen, remaining among citizens who had fled the town after they arrived in Adyta. Although they had been forced to leave many of their weapons behind, they had managed to bring their funds with them, but ultimately agreed to spend it on chartering a much larger ship in order to bring as many refugees to Basillera as possible. | |||
===Howie and The Antidote=== | |||
The ship chartered by the ALF-NB arrived in Cutler Cove immediately after the successful operation against [[Rockerluck]] had concluded, meeting the returning soldiers and Group 7422. One of the first people to spot the arriving ship was Gerardanson, who also recognised Howie. Howie, who could not recall punching Gerardanson at first, offered the extremely angry ex-general a [[Dibble|bowl of soup]] as an apology, which Gerardanson refused. | |||
