The Red Dragon Confederation

[TheRudeDude7]

The family heads of Yu, Yan, and Yuyang have always been close comrades. During the short war against Dong Zhou, the three warriors fought side by side destroying their enemies on the battle field. Now, as China falls into a state of anarchy, these three warlords have made a plan to quickly increase their own power.
Together, they will grow in might and lay waste to their foes. Nearby warlords recognize the threat of battle-experienced commanders, and The Red Dragon Confederation are prepared to fight.

As of now, in order to speak to the leaders of the RDC, one would have to approach the gilded gates of Yuyang and state their intentions.

It was time, she figured.

Her eyes perked up to glance at the sun. Yup, past noon at least, time to call it a day. Without much of a try she pushed herself off the wall she leaned against and looked around to spot a familiar face dressed in similar armor. "Hey," she called out to him, "I'm off duty now, gonna go see the boss."

The other soldier seemed almost reassured and simply nodded with a faint smile. "I still have a few hours to go. Damn, guard duty sucks."

"Yeah, good luck with that." With a faint wave of the hand she simply dismissed what he'd said and turned around to walk towards the main quarters of the commander. Once there, she greeted the guards stationed outside without much formality, as if she had known them for a long time.

"Is he here?" she asked them both, glancing out a curious look. "If none of the commanders are busy I'd like to speak with any of them."

One of the guards nodded at her arrival. "Yeah, he's in there, but he's in a bad mood right now.
Apparently, those barbarians to our northwest have been gaining quite the following the past couple of months. Some notable figures apparently are raising an army there. Won't be soon before they come for us."
The guard sighed.
"Anyway, he's arranging bounties on their heads and planning his next move right now. I'd be careful."
With that, the guard opened the door inside.
"If you wanna make sure he doesn't bite your head off, I recommend you'd offer to get some jobs done for em."

[RedRyder]

Her features formed a frown as she crossed her arms around her chest. "This is news to me," she said with a confident tone, almost non-worryingly, "Alright, I'll keep that in mind." She thanked the guard and took a deep breath before walking past him and into the building.

Slowly, she entered and took a hold of her weapon, lowering it's covered blade to make sure it didn't hit against the entrance.

"Sir," she said without much raising her head, "Jiang Xia reporting, my watch has ended, I'm off for the day," her eyes finally rose to meet the figure of her commander, "Is there anything else I can do for you before I leave?"

She paused briefly.

"I hear some people up north are giving us trouble, anything you need me to do about that?"

[TheRudeDude7]

Yu Yang sighed, writing some scribbles down on his map. He seemed to be in deep thought. However, his concentration was broken as Jiang Xia entered the room.
"Ah, Jiang Xia." he said. "Good job on watch duty."
He rubbed his temples a bit, as if to snap himself back into reality.
"Something you can do? No, I think not... unless.."
He once again went deep into thought.
"Actually, there is something you can do for me.
Lately, some impudent warlords to our northwest have been stirring up trouble. The perpetrator, of course, is none other than that pesky Tso-lin. They'll be coming for us soon, I expect. We have to prepare a defense.
I do have a number of jobs you could get done. I need information on these new warlords. Find out information on all Fei Lai, Sun Zhong, and Zhengzong Li for me.
If you think that task is too difficult, raise 300 troops for me, and bring them here.
Or, if you'd like you could try whittling down their numbers. I'd say killing off 200 troops from that dastardly alliance would get the job done.
Oh, and one last thing. Distribute these bounty posters to all nearby towns and villages."
Yu Yang brought out a stack of papers, each one with the faces of Fei Lai, Sun Zhong, and Zhengzong Li on top of them.
"Heh, they'll be horrified to find out we found them. Our spies are the best, after all."
The bounty on each of their heads appeared to be 350 gold. They were wanted alive.
"Of course, these tasks aren't necessary. Go get some rest now, Jiang Xia, and let me know if any of these are done."

(OOC: Get spy information on the three figures mentioned using the "spy" action, kill 200 troops from the North-west alliance by any means(note to say that the three figures mentioned before are not associates yet, so killing their troops will not add to this kill counter), or bring the RDC 300 troops to gain associate status.)

[RedRyder]

With arms crossed around her, she listened intently to the commander. She let out a smirk once he mentioned how good their spies were, "Was that a compliment? You know I do a lot of these.." She leaned in closer to take a look at the assortment of papers and reports before the commander, "Nevermind."

Once the drawn portraits were brought out, she took a few steps closer and took a look at one of them. "Hmm," she wasn't impressed, "Fine." With both hands she began to methodically grab and arrange the wanted portraits.

She began heading for the exit with portraits in tow, before stopping for a moment and looking back at the commander, "Give me a few days and I'll have some news for you," she said before nodding and quietly making her way out of the building.

((I have the spy reports, can I join for reals now? :P ))
