- It was a cold night on the shores of western Mossflower Woods. The ocean stretched on to the horizon line then faded into the night sky. Amid the sand dunes and the rocks stood Salamandastron,the mountain of the fire-lizard. The huge rock tower loomed high into the air, an impenetrable fortress. A knock on the door behind him broke the silence, and a deep voice called in, "General, may I come in please? I have something for you." The old hare turned and called out. "Come in Colonel Ropaus." The door opened, and in stepped Colonel Gideon E. Ropaus with a tray heaped high with food.

| - The Conquest is the third scenario in The Cultist campaign.
- It was a cold night on the shores of western Mossflower Woods. The ocean stretched on to the horizon line then faded into the night sky. Amid the sand dunes and the rocks stood Salamandastron,the mountain of the fire-lizard. The huge rock tower loomed high into the air, an impenetrable fortress. Sitting at a window high on the mountain's face, was an old hare in a pink regimental tunic with medals and badges pinned on it everywhere. By his side was strapped a rapier, thin and perilous looking though old. The hare was gray with a few white spots on him here and there. His eyes looked tired and worn out. His bristling mustachio was waxed and trimmed and in his hardened old paws he held a cup of tea. A knock on the door behind him broke the silence, and a deep voice called in, "General, may I come in please? I have something for you." The old hare turned and called out. "Come in Colonel Ropaus." The door opened, and in stepped Colonel Gideon E. Ropaus with a tray heaped high with food. "The cook sends his compliments and this tray of tucker, he knows how you like to eat up here in your room, the bally mess hall can get rather noisy at times wot." General Norbew Warpaw smelled appreciatively from the tray as Colonel Ropaus handed it to him. "Ahhh, leek and onion pastie, my favorite! Oh, and some fresh salad, top hole wot!" "There's also some cordial, though I know you prefer tea these days sah." said Ropaus. "Oh I'm tired of filppin tea, wot. I'll have some of that cordial." said the General. As Ropaus poured him some cordial Warpaw looked the hare Colonel up and down. Colonel Gideon E. Ropaus was a very large beast with a huge barrel chest and a deep booming voice which he used when giving out orders to the Long Patrol hares. Strapped to his belt was a formidable looking sabre. He also wore a regimental tunic but his was red unlike the General's. "Thank you very much for coming up here, Colonel. Though why did you bring two trays?" asked Warpaw. Ropaus began pouring himself some cordial as he explained. "Well like I said sah, it gets rather rowdy in the mess hall so I decided to join you up here, that is if you don't mind sah?" The old hare started in on his salad as he replied. "Mind? I should think not Colonel! Why, I'm very glad of your company, it gets rather lonely up here by myself. Of course you can join me." Ropaus sat down next to the General and began devouring his pastie. "Thank you very much sah." he said. The old hare watched the Colonel eat pastie after pastie then turned and stared about the room thinking. The Colonel stopped from eating his salad and inquired of his General. "Whats wrong sah? You look like your doing some hard brain work wot." General Warpaw turned and gazed out the window. "Yes I am," he said. "I've been having dreams lately." Ropaus sat looking at the General. "What sort of dreams sah?" Warpaw kept gazing out the window as a breeze came through and ruffled his fur."Not normal ones, no, these are different, it is like they are trying to give a warning." Ropaus leaned forward. "What is the warning General?" He asked. "A warning of a great evil that is coming to Mossflower country, a horde of vast proportions, these vermin will try to destroy and conquer everything that gets in their way." The Colonel leaped up sabre in paw. "An evil horde you say sah? By golly if they try to set one paw in Mossflower I'll have the Long Patrol on them in the blink of an eye. We'll give them blood and vinegar, the caddish fiends!" he roared. "When are they coming sah? And where?" "I don't know Colonel, but I know that if I did you would have the Patrol there and waiting for them," said Warpaw. "It is a shame we do not have a Badger Lord right now and I have to rule the mountain in his absence. But nevertheless we must be ready for this evil that is coming." Colonel Ropaus stood up and began walking to the door. "Don't worry sah, we will be."
