//Planting this thread to start the conversation on planning for the strike team. Please list here if you are going on it and what PC you are bringing. Then we can have a virtual round table chat.
-
// Is this parallel to Fort of Last Hope/Hilm Castle? //
-
// It will not be parallel to what is going on at the Fort of Last Hope. It will, however, be happening at the same time as the plot finale at Hilm Castle.
People at the Fort of Last Hope can decide where they want to be. :)
-
//join as the conversation goes.
*Wren looks around the table* So we need a plan. We are going into a heavily armed under ground compound where we will most likely face a foe that is indestructible. There will be waves of powerful drakes, there will be many powerful mages as well. We will have to climb down a cliff face to get into the caves just to start and to do that we will be hovering above the ground where a small army is guarding the main entrance.
-
//guessing this is being held in a bunker or something deep under Hilm Castle?
*Vrebel sits slouched a bit in his chair looking to the others that share the table then turns to Wren*
How are we gonna be hoverin' above ground? Just so ya know Wren I can't fly yet. *a slight smirk*
Molvaren I heard aint indestructable, he's tough, but he can be defeated if thats who yer referin' to.
First off I think we need clear and defined objectives for this to be successful.
Then we can talk tactics.
-
*Görm, who was at Last Hope just not so long ago, has come back and joined the ranks of the SSS*
Strip 'is wards 'n' he ken be taken down.
-
*wren speaks up*
We have one clear objective. Remove or destroy the source of power used to create the drachs and the dragon poison. Everything else is secondary. As for hovering, I mean we will be descending down a cliff face with a army below us. Steel was working on a diversion plan. We need that plan to happen.
-
*Vrebel gets up without exusing himself and checks with the mages at the castle as to whether their meeting room is protected from scrying or listening in by magical means before returning and resting both elbows on the table and scratching his head*
A diversion would be needed fer us to slip into this cave seein' as there's a small army outside. What kinda diversion did you have in mind?
I've heard that the Broken One is the source of Molvaren's power. The Broken One, thought to be dead, is being used somehow to make the dragon poisons, create the mydrach's and control them.
Is this true? And if so do we need to destroy the Broken One and were good? I've also heard of blood pools bein' used as well. Do we need ta destroy them as well?
I got lots a questions on this and we're gonna need solid information on this before goin' in.
*He looks around the table to everyone eye to eye*
If you got information that'll help nows the time ta spill it. I dont care if its truth or suspicions. If we need to bring in someone who knows more then we do it.
-
Gel'larian speaks up from the back.
"Ruben Wintersby vouched that Molvaren is not indestructible, just one of the more tenacious and capable foes on Layonara.
Has anyone received word from Steel since the action in Sederra? If not, perhaps we should think of a back up plan."
-
*Tralek waves his hand a bit and begins to stand*
This is a mission of utmost importance and it must be planned to every degree possible. Therefore I have some questions and anyone may answer who feels capable:
1. What is the diversion Steel is planning? Who is required to attend his diversion team, or is it something he's going to do by himself or before hand? How does Steel intend to get himself and the others involved in the diversion back to the main strike group without signaling our position?
2. If the diversion allows us into the cave unnoticed, we need to know everything about our cave dive. What kind of resistance is in the cave (traps, guardians/enemy soldiers, barricades). Do we plan to fight our way in or go in stealth? Do we have the cave mapped out so we know exactly how to get to our target and get out? Has anyone determined the approximate time it will take us to enter the cave, destroy the target and exit the cave? How do we plan to get away to safety after exiting the cave?
3. What is our target exactly? If its the Blood Pool, then do we know exactly where it is? How do you plan on destroying the Blood Pool? How are we going to work on the Blood Pool with out being seen and attracting enemy forces to our position? This is very important, how do we get out of the blast radius of the Blood Pool in time to save our skins? Obviously you must know a way to affect the Blood Pool in a way that does not destroy it immediately, but does explode after some time....please elaborate on how this works.
4. The Broken One. If it is there, is that also a target, or are you hoping it will die when the Blood Pool explodes? I imagine it will be guarding the Blood Pool...how dow we work on the Blood Pool without it seeing/detecting us?
*Tralek takes a deep breath*
Please, some of us that were not on the first recon mission were not privy to much regarding this Target. Please be patient with us and bring us up to speed as much as possible. Our lives and destiny of Layonara lie in balance.
*He sits with a determined look on his face*
-
*Tralek takes anther look around*
Also, Do we have the right personel for this strike? I'm thinking we're going to need at least a cleric and a good scout. A bard would come in handy for morale and also a couple staunch dwarves in case things get messy.
So far it looks like Tralek, Vrebel, Jennara, Hayley, Wren, Steel, Hardy, Daniel and Gel. Hmm, if all those do make it we may just have a fair chance.
*He looks at the doors hoping more friends will volunteer*
-
*wren answers Tralek's questions*
I think Steel was planning a invasion by sea to keep the shore forces tied up and draw out any dragons that are guarding the caves.
It took a huge effort just to find the location and get out without altering them. It was of paramount importance that we did not let them find out that we found the location of the broken one. We are going in blind except for knowing where it is and how large the outside forces are. We know that and the location of the upper cliff guard posts. We have no idea how big the caves are, how large the forces in the cave are, or how long it will take to get in and out.
Our targets in order are the broken one, the blood pool, and then Molvaren. Now you should know that there is a chance that the broken one's body is the blood pool. You should also know that death in close proximity to a blood pool will result in a touch from the Soul Mother.
The location is fully masked by illusion and I am sure it is blocked to scrying as well. We have to expect that there will be heavy resistance inside the cave. I would keep a force of my strongest and best guarding my center of power were I Molvaren.
-
*Tralek nods to Wren*
Understood and you guys did a heck of a good job to find the Target and not let them know you did.
So, Broken One, Pool and Molvaren in that order aye? Alright, well if the Pool and the Broken One are one-in-the-same, thats a two-fer. Molvaren, I imagine may tome or portal from the front lines when or if he sences a disturbance with his pet project.
Blind once in the caves *nods and thinks a bit*
Still we need to know more about the diversion and the Blood Pool. If our strike team is going to be making the diversion and also entering the cave, I'd like to know how you plan on breaking away from the diversion without being noticed, so we can enter the cave? Or is it just some of us doing the diversion and they will meet us at the cave entrance? Or maybe, our team isn't involved in the diversion at all, and we have some valiant volunteers who plan to launch a suicide sea to land invasion? We need more details on this please.
The Blood Pool. I have limited *stops to think* strike that...no knowledge of Blood Pools. Jennara will be with us maybe she does. Do we know how we are going to destroy the Blood Pool in a way that will give us time to get out? Please, we need to know exactly how you plan to do this. Do you plan on throwing a chest filled with holy water into the pool, and expect that the melting of the chest and glass will be our "timer" and give us the time to get out. We need to know how we plan to take out this Blood Pool specifically.
If we need to bring in someone with more knowledge about Blood Pools....now is the time to make that call.
*Tralek regards those present for response*
-
Slips into the back of the room, arms folded, head down, listening.
-
When the opportunity arises, Steel visits Daniella and Lance.
"The fleet that delivered the Toranite and Rofireinite troops to Nith- is it still floating there? And how many fighting men remain aboard? In short, what do you think of that fleet sailing up to the Hollows and creating a diversion for the strike force?"
-
I think that Steel is working on a plan of diversion that will not include the strike team. Furthermore I have no idea how to destroy a blood pool. On that front Steel and Raz will address us on how to do it. Understand that there may not be a way to escape and that some of us may have to go down with the blood pool. I am sure that there will be no porting in or out of that cave, they went to great measure to protect it so we should consider that porting will be blocked to us.
There is a good chance that this is a one way trip for some or all of us.
-
"Kobal said there is a vial that must go in to the Blood Pool. Made by Xora. But the Blood Pool must be inactive for it to work. If we know that is the case, then I just need to get in to line of sight, mount the vial on an arrow and fire away. Unless of course the Pool is heavily warded against such nonsense...
Probably wont know that until we are there right?
That being said, can everyone agree that this is a stealth mission? Meaning that contact with the enemy is the last choice? Even if it seems the easiest?"
He looks around the room for people's reaction.
-
If we can do what we need to do without contact with the enemy then great. But I highly doubt that will be the case. It is more likely that we will have to fight our way all the way in. I vote for stealth but we need to be more then ready to be in a fight for our lives.
-
Gel grimaces.
"I'm ready, but we need to keep in our minds that violence is the last choice. Not because I am scared, but that we are more likely to succeed if we attract as little attention as possible. Even our violence should be stealthy I think."
Again he looks around for some sort of consensus.
-
"It could be that two groups will be needed - a double diversion. The first diversion being Steel's, the second diversion being the group "fighting their way in", and the third group being the stealthiest who actually get the vial to the Bloodpool."
-
Well that could work but we are assuming that the broken one and the blood pool are one in the same. If not we have two targets that both need to be taken care of. Of course if we can be sure it would work, destroying the blood pool could also destroy the broken one.
I just had a bad thought, what if the broken one is not just a big dead dragon body? what if it is some kind of undead dragon? *grins* Oh well we will deal with that when we find out *laughs*
-
"So then, as I understand it, we travel by portal to an area near the Hollows. From there, I assume we make a safe and quiet approach to the system of caves and simply wait until the diversion is launched. During that time, we gather intelligence to determine the best fashion to make our way to the complex. Once inside, we get a bearing on where the Pool or the Broken One are, track it down and destroy it? Does that sound about right?"
-
*Jennara enters the room, looking tired but determined.*
I can answer some of the questions.
First, there should be a diversion that surprises the Cult. It is not only intended to assist us, as I understand, but we will hopefully benefit. The surprise of the diversion may draw off forces from our target as the Cult scrambles to deal with the surprise. If the fleet can also attract attention, perhaps we will not have to worry about dragons.
In case we do encounter afflicted dragons, I have two doses of the cure. We should attempt to shatter them in their mouths. At the very least, this should remove any cured dragons from the fight, and with any luck, they will recover enough to attack the Cultists and make our escape easier. If a cured dragon should accompany us and help fight, we will all surely owe Deliar many presents and will be truly blessed to have any more luck the rest of our lives.
Second, I have the counter to the source. It is carefully wrapped in my pack, within two containers, and will be easy for you to access if I should be incapacitated. It is for use in the bloodpool. The contents of both containers must be emptied into the bloodpool. Pouring would be the safest method, but, as we will likely be rather pressed, smashing the containers together over the bloodpool will be faster. If I should fall and you are tasked with this duty, do not let the situation rule you; smash the containers gently so the contents go into the bloodpool rather than around the area. If things go very badly, we may attempt to throw the containers into the bloodpool, but they will need to shatter so that the counter and the bloodpool mix. Throwing should only be attempted as a last resort.
If the bloodpool is somehow within what remains of Fezrekthania, contained and hidden, the first option is to make a hole in her. This should be done as high as possible on her midsection to avoid spilling the bloodpool fluids. If those fluids are allowed to spill, they could easily destroy all of Kuhl and possibly all of Belinara. A safer but possibly less reliable alternative would be putting the counter down her throat. Hopefully, none of this will be necessary because the bloodpool will be open and visible.
Once the counter has been poured into the bloodpool, a reaction will begin. I have seen a reaction between the cure and a sample from Audira. It is frothy and vigorous, and I expect the reaction between the counter and the bloodpool will be worse. We will potentially have a few minutes to escape the area, but, if things go well, I suggest you already be on the way out while I add the counter, just in case. I can catch up.
-
Daniel enters the room as Jennara finishes speaking. He listens respectfully, before greeting those he knows saving Andrew for last. In hushed tones he asks Andrew to catch him up on the discussion.
-
*Ferrit speaks from the corner where she has been quietly listening:* 'I don't know why this thing is called the Broken One, but I think there must be a reason. I suspect it's not just because it's dead or even undead. I think it might also be broken in its relationship to our world. Perhaps it is stuck only partly in our world and partly in some adjoining, but very different, world--one that contributes to the potency of its poison. If we must attack it, one thing that might be tried is simultaneous strikes in exactly the same spot with weapons charged with silver and titanium. My mithril shortsword and rapier are so charged, and I hope others of you have the same. If I fall, take my blades with you.
-
*Jennara shakes her head a little.* Fezrekthania was called the Broken One when she was alive, long ago, just as Yzyartkadrania is called the Long Storm, Shadrixkayl the Deepening Dark, and Drezzun... Drez’zlunkhazhn the Black Plague. The designation is not new, though there may still be something unusual about what is left of her that may require special weapons.
-
Vrebel nods to Jennara in thanks happy to see her arrive albiet tired and greets those others joining the table
Quite a mouthfull.
He nods respectfully to Jennara a stern look to hold back a grin to his quip.
You've come well prepared as always Commander. I thank you fer the breakdown but I got some questions in case like you said *a brief pause* you get incapacitated.
If we encounter any diseased dragons I assume you have a means of gettin' in range to their mouths to shatter the cure before yer a snack?
He leans back in his chair a bit
If we have ta throw the vials of counter in the pool as the last option can we count on the blood pool to disolve the vials and release the counter?
I take it we dont really know the status of the Broken One whether she is alive or undead and could pose a threat or if she's just a big mound a rotten flesh?
I'm not really sure why the blood from the dragon spillin' is all that bad if were expectin a blood pool on the ground in the first place but I'll take yer word fer it as I'm no expert.
We gotta exit plan? How we gonna get away once the counter is planted?
Should we plant some explosives in the cave to detonate on our way out to cut off anything chasin' us or contain the explosion?
He regards Ferrit with a smile
I gota titanium or silver charged greatsword and I dont use nothin' less than mithril.
-
Hardragh who up to that point had been listening in quiet comfort, suddenly speaks up.
"I do not think we should be going out of our way to cure any corrupted dragon we might encounter. A dead dragon is still better than a cured one, aye?"
"Also, I reckon we should be mindful about splitting up too much. If groups are stretched too thin, they might fail if only one or two members fall. Relying on stealth is fine when the enemy is not expecting you, but if they are, you'll need more than secrecy."
He clacks his tongue and shows a slight smirk.
"For a diversion to work, it would have to be targeting something the Cult actually fears of losing. Whoever does it should make an honest attempt at fighting their way towards the Bloodpool, otherwise... might as well march up bearing flags with 'diversion' stitched on them, in golden threads."
"Reckon that our greatest weapon in this should be speed, not secrecy. And any diversion should strike at the exact same time as the group heading for the bloodpool. Ships might spoil the element of surprise, considering the Cult has the means to scout their seas far off the coast. They might recall more troops to the Hollows, if they learn of the push in advance."
-
Daniel speaks quietly with a glance at Jennara, "One of the virtues Toran seeks in his followers is sacrifice yet we the Lord Protector strive for Justice. I believe Justice is balance. Many souls have been taken during this long war, now some must be given to restore balance. I do not know if the gods mean for us to live through this, only that stopping this calamity is a duty that we must not fail. If that means one of must crush the vial in our hands and leap to our death, so be it."
-
*Jennara glances at Hardragh briefly before speaking generally to everyone.* An unconscious dragon is better than one fighting us. The cure is, in this case, a weapon. It takes too much time and effort to kill dragons, more than we can afford on this mission. I do not know how long it will take a dragon to recover from the reaction in its blood. It may take hours or days. Any dragon we cure may die from the destruction of the bloodpool.
To cure any afflicted dragons, which removes them as a threat, the vials of the cure are small enough to fit easily on arrows. If the vial can be attached so that the vial will break when it impacts, and it hits in the mouth of the dragon, it may be that no one needs to get close enough to any dragon's mouth. In the absolute worst case, the vial can be poured into a wound, but this seems almost impossibly hard compared to aiming for the mouth.
It may be best to prepare two arrows with the vials before we enter the cave. Please understand these doses are very dear. There is no way to create more. If you are trusted with one, please do not try to use it if there is nothing but hope guiding your aim. Try to be sure to hit within a dragon's mouth.
*She pauses and changes subjects.*
If the counter has to be thrown, we have done very poorly. I do not believe we can rely on the containers breaking within the bloodpool. They may break someday, but that is not good enough. We have to be sure they break. *She frowns and looks exhausted for a few moments.* If it is so dire, I am willing to charge the bloodpool and break the containers as I dive in.
*There is a long pause - during which she seems to be lost in thought - before she continues.*
I do not know anything about the current nature of Fezrekthania. I did not mean to confuse you previously when I mentioned spilling the fluid. It is not the dragon blood that is the problem. *She takes a deep breath and gathers her thoughts.*
You may have heard stories of the... the poison, how it almost seems alive. The source is the same. If we should spill the source, it will flow and spread. It will be unstoppable. It will destroy everything it contacts, maybe even magic. Xora estimates it could easily cover all of Kuhl. If we consider it spreading in all directions evenly, it would also cover much of Hilm. That is a conservative estimate; it could spread to cover all of Belinara, and I do not know what may become of it should it enter the sea.
It is this reason we must be very careful if the bloodpool is within Fezrekthania in a way that we cannot reach. If we should cause a spill... *She shakes her head sadly.*
At the risk of dampening morale, I am more concerned with getting in than getting out. I have died one hundred thirteen times, and not all were for such important causes as this. Even so, I do not like dying and would like to make it out safely, regardless of any... untenable notions of fairness. I believe we would all benefit by acting as a cohesive unit, in and out, but, as Xora said to me, "I think it is safe to say, you had better pour and run." Whatever else we do, we should run away first. The destruction of the bloodpool may destroy the cave by itself.
-
*Tralek nods as he listens to the discussion*
We are going to get this job done and we are are going to make it out. *stern look at everyone and a wink*
Hardy makes a good point about the diversion. The enemy tasked to guard the cave entrance may have strict orders to stay put except for dire reasons. They may not budge at all if an allied fleet approaches from sea, and worse they may actually put the cave on high alert status.
*he shakes his head and closes his eyes and the opens them*
I don't know what kind of diversion we need or what might pull the most enemy away from the cave without alerting the enemy in the cave, but we need to think on that. It seems simple, but maybe we all just go in the cave under greater sanctuary? Or if we could find a way into the ....*he trails off*. Well, lets think on that then...I don't want to abandon the diversion but it needs to be thought out.
Once in the cave is when it gets tricky, or trickier. There may be multiple tunnels so we'll have to scout each pass out, unless someone has a way of "detecting" the presense or location of the Pool? Also, if the enemy does block the passages in the tunnel and there is no other way around them...do we fight our way through and use valuable time? Some of us may not be able to sneak by, so we need to be considering those situtaions.
Also, just in case I suggest you bring a couple Cloaks of Watchers. I have 3-4 I can bring, but we may need them. Also, lets bring some rope and climbing equipment.
*Tralek bows out and lets the others discuss*
-
*Gel'larian listens closely to all that is said and in a lull speaks up again.*
Jennara, I am not as talented as many with th Al'Noth but one thing I am capable of is shooting an arrow of unerring aim. Perhaps I should have at least one dose of cure on an arrow. From what I see Ferritt is the next best archer here, I would give the other to her.
With all due respect Hardragh, I fear that if our diversion presses to hard toward our goal lest their defenses become concentrated. I am no expert strategist though. I'll leave that to more capable than I.
Has anyone ever been near a Blood Pool before? Do they make a unique impression on the Al'Noth? If someone knows we could look for that. Master Garvill I think has seen one. Perhaps he knows.
*He looks around the room, his stomach beginning to recognize the occasion upon them.*
-
*Jennara nods to Gel'larian's suggestion, but speaks on a different topic.*
If the guards have strict orders, and if they are disciplined, no diversion will matter. Good guards will immediately alert someone further within of trouble nearby, especially if they intend to investigate. A previous encounter with Cultists in the Hammerbound Peaks showed their care; while the majority of the force stood to fight and prevent our passage, a messenger was sent ahead to warn the Cult forces farther into the mountains. I cannot imagine we will face incompetent guards at such a site.
If distant diversions do not attract enough attention to have forces diverted from the cave, I think a quick advance is the next best option. If the outer guards are engaged quickly, forces inside will have less warning. An attempted diversion nearby or a slow advance will give forces inside warning of nearby danger and more time to better prepare against us. I recommend leaving the diversions to others elsewhere and hope for the best. We should focus on infiltration of the cave and reaching the target.
*She furrows her brow and thinks a moment.*
I believe bloodpools are rather overwhelming. I do not doubt they can be felt, but I do not know if it is possible to use that as guidance through a cavern. What if it feels strong forward, but we really need to take the left fork to go around? *She shrugs.* Someone else may know.
-
*wren listens to everyone then says*
First off, yes we will be ported to some where near by, maybe a day or so away. We will make our way to the cliff tops and yes await the diversion. From there I agree with Miss Jennara fully that speed will be our best weapon. I am prepared for this to be a one way trip if need be. I am fast but not as fast as you Miss Jennara, you are our best hope of reaching the blood pool with the containers. If we have to cut into the broken one to deliver the fluids then I will do my best to be at your side to do so. If Drexia could join us then the two of you can run it in as we bring what mayhem we can.
-
Vrebel nods to Wren
I think the best we can hope fer on the diversion from sea is to peel off some of the gaurds out front. With Nesar invading Kuhl from the south it possible the Cult may think the sea attack is part of the effort to take over Kuhl with the Toranites and Rofirenites taking parts of Northern Kuhl and working down and not an attack on the blood pool itself. The Cult might actually want less of a presense outside the cave so as not to give away the importance of the cave to any wandering scouts from them ships.
Gettin this deep inta Swarm Lake is no easy feat let alone actaully findin' the cave with the pool *a nod of appreciation to Wren and his group* The Cult is an arrogant lot and I'm bettin the least they expect is that we've discovered the location of the pool. They'll send whatever troops they can ta quell the sea invaders before they happen up on the cave.
I agree its a stealth mission but we're gonna meet resistance. We'll need ta scout our way all the way in and only come outa stealth when we have ta. The longer we linger in the cave the more time the Cult has to bring in reinforcements *coughs* like Molvaren.
If its gotta be a one way mission so be it but I dont stretch this pretty neck out on the chopin block unless I have ta.
Once we find the pool we may have ta create a second diversion ta let the Commander slip in and pour.
-
I'm not stealthy, but I do know how to make a diversion. Whatever the rest of us can do to help to help buy time we will try and do.
*Tegan moves forward a little deeper into the room*
-
*Wren moves to Tegan's side*
It sounds like we are all ready to make sure that Miss Jennara will get to the target. We stand together *he holds Tegan's hand* and we act as one unit. I say we set our plan here and now, pick a leader, and follow the plan and the leader. What say you all?
-
*Gel'larian grins a little and nods in agreement.*
-
*Gel'larian grins a little and nods in agreement.*
-
"Great.. shoot the last remaining cure at a dragon and I'm a dead man walking. I dare reckon, I won't be worrying much about how we'll be getting out, considering what'll be waiting when I return. No good deed goes unpunished it seems, though the empty promises back in Sedera are the salt in an open wound."
*he looks at Gel*
"You better not be missing any shots with those bloody vials."
-
Daniella finally arrives, looking battle-weary, but clean. She looks around at those gathered.
"So you all are the ones that will be going to Stormcry Hollows." She nods respectfully to Jennara. "Commander Creekskipper, I'm glad you'll be going with this team."
She looks around once more, pursing her lips.
"There are a few things that are important to know before you head off. If you will bear with me a moment, I will tell you quickly, and then leave you to your planning.
"It is our belief that the blood pool as well as the dead body of the Broken One are one and the same. It will be tricky to find a place to get through the hide of the dragon in order to destroy the blood pool within, but I believe it to be possible in some way.
"In addition to that, should a stonebound person drink from the dragon, it is believe that they will turn into Myr'drachs. There may be some that have been captured that the cult may be using to turn into more monsters. There may be slaves and innocents there that you may wish to try to save as well. Do what you can, but remember that the first and primary goal of this mission is to destroy the bloodpool. The fate of Hilm and very likely the world may rest on your one chance at this."
Daniella looks again at Jennara. "Since I had originally appointed the Mercenary, Steel, in charge of this group, he is still the leader. If he should not show up, or if it becomes necessary, Commander Creekskipper, I trust you to take control of the mission and see it through."
She looks at everyone again. "Thank you for volunteering. May the gods favor us in this task."
She waits in case anyone has questions, but does not linger long.
-
*Jennara looks directly at Hardragh.* Perhaps in the future, you will consider the consequences of promising something you have no right or ability to give. Keep trying and you may one day actually do a good deed.
*She turns her attention to Daniella's arrival and nods when nodded to.* I am not concerned with the position of leadership, but I will do my best if it should become necessary that I take the position.
*She pauses a moment, then looks back to Hardragh before anyone else can speak. Though clearly an acidic tone, there is sincerity behind it.* Despite your insistence on behaving as an eternally ten-year-old boor, I made a personal request that one dose of the cure be set aside as payment for Yzyartkadrania's assistance. It has not been delivered, so if my assistance is too much for you to bear, I can rescind my request. I would not want you to feel that I had made life too easy and prevented you from learning and growing.
-
Upon Jennara's last words, he raises his head a little to glance at both Hardy and her - then lowers it again, humming to himself very, very quietly.
-
**Lance arrives some minutes later, his gaze upo all of the members of the team , he nods at Daniella as she is already there, the man seems tired and yet somehow at peace *
I've come just to wish you all a good luck with this mission, I am sure you all know the importance of it, so i won't put more words to it, **he glances to each one and smiles*
May the gods be with us, The siege will hopefully took the majority of their troops atention. but still be careful. and may you return to us in good health .
**he stays in the room for some more minutes *
-
*Hardragh leans back and shows a slight hint of amusement and relief*
"Seems I spoke out of turn then. Ill mannered might be apt, but I prefer to speak my mind rather than offering curtsies. I shall do my best though to add to the success of our mission, if that means getting you to the bloodpool alive and well, so be it. Reckon I am looking forward to facing these Myr'Drachs in narrow tunnels, where they won't be able to scatter ranks."
-
He leans over to Hardragh and whispers with a smile.
"Dont worry Hardragh, I was not planning on missing anyway."
-
*Wren listens to Daniella and then nods*
If Steel does not show up then we follow Miss Jennara's lead. *He looks around the room* Any objections to that?. Commander Stormhaven what of the diversion? I believe that was something Steel was working on with you.
