JainaQuest, giving SV voters control of Jaina in the Warcraft 3 era

"We will send the messenger it would be for the best." Jaina stated before swiftly giving orders to several troops and one of her sorcerers to move out with the letter she is writing at the moment.

After the troops start to leave Jaina takes some of the grain with here to look into the plague on it once she has time and a lab before the troops destroy the grainery and burn the rest of the grain to ash.

"Well everyone that is that let's move out and see if we can't find a location for a base somewhere nearby as soon as possible." With those orders the army moves out onwards to the town of Andorhal and hopefully somewhere to set up some defenses in the region.

TIMESKIP

As the troops are on the march they hear screaming coming from the woods as well as a few sounds of combat.

"There must be survivors nearby! Everyone, quickly we must save them!" Jaina orders swiftly rushing towards to noises.

As they get closer the sounds are more and more overtaken by the moans of the dead and they hear a cry of "AHHHH!" Followed by the crunching of something biting through flesh and bone. Then finally almost through the treeline to the source of the noise they hear someone say "No...stop..please... STOP!!!" before seeing a massive burst of light flash through the clearing with everyone noting it felt like a holy light spell from a paladin but more powerful and desperate.

Finally making into the clearing as the light fades they rush into the clearing and see a young teenager with long white hair and covered in blood kneeling while crying and looking at the remains of what looks to be several people and a baby.

"Quick we have a survivor" Arthas stated rushing into the clearing as he scans the area for any remaining enemies.

Jaina swiftly moves over the the girl and picks her up looking into her watery red eyes stating "It's over now. Your safe." even as the young girl falls into unconsciousness exhausted by the events of the night and her powerful outburst of holy magic.

"This looks to be her former family given the resemblance... Damn no child should ever have to go through something like this." Arthas states grimacing in disgust.

"Indeed I can only imagine how badly this is going to traumatize her." Jaina states. "This just confirms we made the right decision on staying in the area. If we weren't here then she would likely have died as well lost out here in the wilderness."

"Agreed, now we must get moving and find a spot to camp for the night before moving onwards to find a base tomorrow morning. First though let's gather up a few of her parents belongings for her so she at least has something to remember them by." Arthas then moves towards the corpses and salvages what he can. Once done he takes inventory of what he found a pair of wedding rings, very nice looking earrings, a dagger, and finally a tome on the holy light.

The group then burns the remains and moves onwards to find a place to camp dispirited by what they witnessed.

Timeskip

After finding a clearing they set up camp and go right to sleep not feeling hungry. Jaina took the young girl to bed with her holding her close so she would hopefully have less nightmares.

The next morning everyone wakes up and they throw breakfast on while Jaina stays in bed holding the girl close to let her sleep in. Finally she wakes up and sees Jaina holding her.

"Huh! Who are you? Where am I? Where is my family!" She asks in a panic.

"Be calm child, My name is Jaina Proudmoore. As for where you are, you are in a military camp where we brought you after finding you last night. However for your last question I am sorry to ask you this, but do you remember what happened last night?" Jaina asked her eyes showing her empathy and sorrow for the child's situation.

"I... last night? ummm, well my family and i were travelling through the plains and then my brother collapsed and... no. Dad he bit daddy! And then mom ran and then dad bit her and then ni.. nicolas." She starts sobbing holding her hands to her eyes.

Jaina swiftly hugs her. "shh, shh it's okay you're safe now. I am sorry we were not able to save your family but we salvaged what we could from their bodies to give to you and then gave them a proper burial." Jaina then shows her the items Arthas was able to salvage.

"Sniff... thank you, but why did this have to happen why did my family have to die?"

"Sadly some very bad and evil people are starting a magical plague that kills people and brings them back as undead. Both myself and Prince Arthas are leading an expedition in this area to protect as many people as possible and deal with the people causing this. Sadly we can't save everyone." Jaina states with sorrow. "Now, I need to know your name so I can hopefully stop referring to you as girl hmm?"

"S-Sally, Sally whitemane, Miss Proudmoore." Sally states still sniffling a bunch but looking a bit better as she fiddles with her parents rings.

"Good, now would you like to come out and meet with Prince Arthas and the rest of the people who rescued you? Perhaps some breakfast as well?" At the mention of food Sally's belly grumbles. "Yes miss.. and thank you. For saving me and for giving my parents a burial." "Its alright Sally, any decent person would have done the same."

Jaina and Sally then leave their tent and move towards the campfire where Arthas and a few others are sitting around talking and eating. As they notice them coming the group by the fire quiets down and everyone but Arthas gets up to leave and make space for Jaina and Sally. Jaina swiftly starts preparing Sally and herself a nice breakfast of oatmeal with some dried fruit and nuts. Handing Sally her breakfast she sits down and begins to eat after introducing Arthas and Sally to each other. They then eat in silence as Sally quickly scarfs her food down in hunger.

"Well then Sally we are curious about whether you have any other family you know of where we can bring you after we are done here?" Arthas asked.

"No milord, I do have a very close friend whose family would likely take me in but he only has a single parent and I would not want to impose on him."

"I see... well then perhaps you would like to stay with us? As I am certain you can tell I am a paladin of the light and alongside the priests we have with us, I am sure we can train you to harness the power you used to eradicate those undead. Though I will warn you, if you stay with us we will be bringing you into likely combat zones at least for awhile."

"Is... is Lady Jaina going to be there?" "Well, yes of course. She is actually the one in charge of the investigations in this region. I am mostly here to provide protection and an escort for her." "Then.. if I can stay with her yes, please I would like to go with you. besides if I go with you I will be able to avenge my family deaths against those undead."

"Great, it is settled then. You will be training under me on how to use the light to protect, heal, and smite the undead as needed. Though it will be awhile before you will be ready for proper combat." Arthas stated to Sally. "Thank you Prince Arthas, Lady Jaina." "It is no problem Sally, no one should have to go through what you went through, and I will be damned if I would leave you behind after that." Jaina said a slight smile on her face.

"Well then we had best be off, We need to find a location to start up a base of operations today so we have a position to fight the undead in this region."

so vote

[] write in who gets the two new magic items.

"There look ahead, its some Cultists like the ones that were with that necromancer. What are they doing to that mine?" Jaina asked as they come upon a clearing with a mine in a corner of it. "Lets not wait to find out! Attack!" Arthas ordered as the troops moved in to chase off the cultists.

The cultists all start running away with the main one stating "Damn these intruders! they must not interfere with the masters plan!"

Arthas is able to chase down one of the cultists and slay him with a single hammer blow to the head blasting his brains out.

"Let's build a base camp here. With all these cultists creeping around and the undead on the loose I don't want to continue without some extra backup." Arthas stated.

"I couldn't agree more." Jaina said, as the few villagers who you were able to gather enough equipment for moved in to build the structures you want... that is what do you want to build?

Vote time, turns for the next bit TURNS WILL BE IN 6 HOUR INCREMENTS until you have your base built up decently. You also start with 10 peasants 5 for you 5 for Arthas

you need at minimum 1 peasant per building to start building it, every peasant you add on to help build on top of the original peasant halves construction time. DC does not matter unless someone is overseeing building everything, if someone is first DC passed reduces costs to build and 2nd DC passed grants small bonuses to the building. (for example if you pass the barracks DC 5 more troops can be housed in all lvl 1 barracks built from then on.)

TO ASSIGN MORE THAN 1 PEASANT JUST ADD X2-5 AT THE END OF THE VOTE!

if you want to assign Jaina, Arthas or captain Marwyn to help build something for the DC roll just type X-Jaina or whoever you want to supervise the project after the number of peasants you add to it.
