After a few days of milling about and restocking, hibernaculum noticed there was unfinished business lying about- one of the FoD's first enemies- the [[Knights Templar]]. As they are wont to do, they had grown fat off their own complacency. They had begun to think Kempsterbank was now a safe place and had grown negligent in their duties and service to the local population. It was time for a not so subtle reminder that Malton is not some quarantined Oasis but is, in fact, a dangerous place to be where one must keep their guard up. The guilty must be punished. | ||

The | The Knights, and their slavering bounty hunter minions, did not disappoint with their first responses. The Knights, seemingly awakened to their danger unleashed a counter attack - something the FOD had not witnessed in quite some time. As the campaign edged on, however, the BHers' pitiful attention spans elapsed, and the FoD re-learned the lay of the land, their own causalities now slowed to a trickle. The funeral pyre of the Knights continued to burn, fed by heaps of Knight bodies. | ||
In an odd twist, [[SDN|Skynet]] approached the FOD with a deal of sorts. The price of the FOD's help - an assault on the Templars. They paid the freight and decided to enter the fray, not on the side of the flotsam but instead agreeing to enlighten the Knights Templar. Despite the many visits from the FOD to Skynet's chat which at least one Knight noticed and reported, the KT were shamefully unaware that anything could be afoot...their arrogance blinded them to the many possible outcomes that exist in Malton. The FOD held a mirror to the Templars - a damning indictment of how unprepared they were for the unexpected. An impressive kill-frenzy followed, SDN and FOD filling the wheelbarrows to the brim with more Templar Corpses. The Knights seethed. They cried foul, as if forming voluntary alliances was somehow cheating. Surely the FOD must have tricked or deceived the SDN...surely. | |||
The Lesson then ended with the FOD unsure whether their students understood the material taught. Did the Templar's learn something of value or, as the FOD suspected, did it go right over their heads, carried on the hot air of complaint and cries of treachery? | |||
