"Come back soon. It's about time you graduated."
Glad to hear Reggie thinks we're getting ready too. But I'd still like a little more Shadow Magic - maybe the easier Shadowcloak rather than Invisibility.
The tale you were told speaks of standing at a certain point on a street corner and turning ninety degrees in six different ways; you opt for standing near that certain point and grabbing the first person that's glowing.
Ahahaha. Glorious practicality and common sense in play: make someone else deal with this shit.
But probably not helping inter-Order relations.
not as much as I'd hoped, but better than I'd feared.
This is becoming something of a catch phrase for Abelhelm, isn't it?
The third plan is to acknowledge that trying to ford a river in early spring is ridiculous
Assuming [the dwarves] can get across at all, they'll shave their heads and swear slayer oaths if they can't get something up within a day or two that lasts longer than any 'permanent' manling bridge.
River crossing feels a lot less ridiculous with dwarven engineering in play.
And I think there
probably isn't a River Kraken or anything of that sort which would stop the dwarves entirely, so...
[X] Plan Two: We can't leave the 'Countess' in play. Strike at the town of Drakenhof.
[X] By Van Hal's side, whatever happens.
I'm board with the large bloc for these two. Priority targets, short and direct supply line, and stick with the boss.
....The fucking Patriarch of the Amethyst Order came in person.
....There is some shit going on in the background and I do NOT like it.
I'm going to optimistically assume that he's here to recover a lost Orb of Sorcery that made its way to Sylvania.
And we dont necessarily have the numbers (and possibly supplies) to sustain a grinding invasion.
Food from the Moot probably helps a lot on the supply front, but I agree otherwise. This is a tamping down of the gnarliest bits of Sylvania, not an attempt to conquer and hold it all. We'll be doing it again in ten years, hopefully with a few dozen miles of the Haunted Hills being on our side of the border next time.
