I understand that you wish to speak with me, or at least meet me and size me up for yourself. How do you do?

"Greetings Jorga. I felt it would be an appropriate time to begin to speaking to each of the gods with my future goals and to address concerns you might have."

I keep getting all of the gods mixed up anyone have that picture of each ones symbols and basic information?

Greet Jorga and have a seat.

You drop down on one of the larger logs set about the fire before replying "I thought it would be best to speak with all of you while I had a chance, and you seemed, less than pleased with me when I last checked."

The fiery haired god laughs "Not angry, friend, simply curious, and concerned. It would seem that despite what resources you have available, you have yet to even the scales with this, Seventus character that so wronged your... lover now I suppose."

>>14309832
"I haven't had more than a week off active duty since I came to learn of it, and that week was filled with more than a little business already. Have no fear, I fully intend to see him paid in full for the wrongs he did Sansa, but I need a strong powerbase before attempting anything lest I bring even more harm to those close to me. A cohort commander is a powerful man, bastard or not."

>>14309832
"Despite what I have on hand, I do not believe I have what I need to deal with Seventus. I would like nothing more than to deal with him and solve Sansa's situation but if I am not careful, I'll lose everything I've managed for now. It might take longer than I'd like, but I assure you I will deal with him."

"I wish to outrank him first. He is a superior officer during a time of war. It would be difficult to move against him now, and downright treasonous if he is currently serving on the front lines. I love Sansa, but we both serve a greater cause."

>>14309885
>>14309949
>>14309971
any one of these will do

You sigh, before replying "As much as I love Sansa, and want that man punished for his crimes, I lack both the powerbase, and evidence to move against him without being slain for treason myself."

The god sighs, pulling a bottle from the pack beside his log, and drinking from it "Powerbases, rank, evidence... For a friend, a lover, none of this should matter. He wronged someone close to you, someone you would gladly die for, he deserves death or worse at your hands or hers, and the sooner the better. You have been lax in your duty as a friend." he is not so much admonishing you as philosophizing it would seem, though his words are harsh enough without a tone to match.

>>14310073
If he is the god of frienship and we are friends to him, and warriors, well, friends help friends help friends. Have him help us, so we can help our friends in the name of our Friend, the God.
Someone smarter than me redact this, I can´t brain today. I have teh dumbs
>tesswa potatoes
I don't even

Woah. Careful. We don't want to get indebted to the gods.

Point out that Sansa would be sad if we/Justinian were to die, and that we've been pretty good to our lovers so far. Revenge will be taken when the time is right.

Resolve to pay more attention to our male retinue members / captains better as well.

>>14310073
"Dealing with Seventus directly is easy enough. However, the consequences for his death would still be there and what he did to Sansa wouldn't be addressed. Wouldn't I fail just as much in my duty as a friend if I got revenge on Seventus but failed to protect or correct the other ways in which Sansa has been wronged by him?"

>>14310073
" Believe me, he will get his just desserts but I doubt the other women in my life would appreciate me throwing my life away in a premature attack on someone who wronged Sansa."

>>14310147
Seconding this one.
No sense getting revenge, if all it does is put Sansa in an even worse position than before.

You feel your face set, and as you reply it takes all of your effort to keep your features from dying "That bastard will reap his just deserts" you vow as calmly as you can, considering the topic "however, to directly confront the man, while simple, would end in my death, and leave Sansa in a position no better, if not worse, than her current one. And that failure is one I would never be able to atone for due to my, cadaverish state by the end of it."

The god finishes drinking, before replying "I understand, though I dislike the time it may take. The dish is well past cold, and may spoil before long. Aside from that discussion, was there anything else you wished to discuss with me?"

We don't wish to avenge one friend simply to harm all the others who depend on us. We love Sansa dearly, but should we put retribution on behalf of her above the welfare of all the others who love and trust us? Above our men who will be slaughtered should they be reassigned to an old guard commander? We can't do that. We want /all/ of the people we care for to be hale and happy.

I can't think of anything else. Lets go see Neshai next

Oh oh oh.

Ask him for intel on Lamynus. Can she roast us alive if we were to visit her?

Another god of fire might have more insight on this than Raynha.

>>14310277
"Other than that, I was simply curious as to how your re-entry into our world is coming along."

I believe that's all we have left with him. Next on the list is Neshai, I believe.

>>14310318
Maybe we should just ask what kind of things the gods could do to us in general. Ask if he or any of the other gods could seriously harm us if we approached them or not.

>>14310325
Yeah I think so. He's warned us we need to get to dealing with Seventus and he seems to like us well enough overall. Perhaps bring up if he knows what we're aiming to do and if he has problems but I don't think there's anything overly important now.

List:

Neshai
Raynha
Nyetini

We can visit the last three another time. Alternately:

Neshai
Raynha
Lamynus
Baashek
Denarius
Nyetini

If we want to visit them all at once.

>>14310346
seconding

Neshai next then Nyetini and Raynha. Then the rest in whatever order

Lets just visit neshai and skip the rest we're not obligated to speak with all of them are we?

You shrug, before replying "Aside from whether or not I am in any danger from the other gods while in these realms, nothing, save for how your own re-entry into the realm of mortals is faring, I suppose."

The god of friendship and fire leans back, turning on his log to lay on it "Currently? nothing a particularly good healer couldn't handle over a few of your months, though in these realms the damage would be permanent. As to my return, it is progressing well enough, though I have yet to choose a first champion in this new age."

You nod "Thank you, and I wish you luck, however..."

Jogra chuckles again "For mortals time is an important currency I suppose." for a flash your mind feels engulfed in flames, then, normal again. " I will send you on your way to Neshai then, and I do hope you can find it in you to give even the less amiable of my estranged friends fair treatment should your plans grow to fruition. They were not always as they are now, and I sincerely hope that they will return to their right minds eventually."

Before you can reply you again feel the strange sensation of being moved to another dieties realm.

-----CQ-----

Again you find yourself standing on the endless, nearly formless stretch of coast that is the far side of the Bleak Sea. The familiar robed deity standing beside you "I was wondering when you would arrive to speak with me. It is a fine line you are walking, you know."

>>14310547
"Indeed. One which I intended to speak to you about. I'm aware of your stance on necromancers that deal with the undead but not those that don't deal with them."

>>14310577
Second. It's the reason why we're here, after all.

That fine line being Rufus i assume? I know your disposition towards necromancy and trust me I do not intend to use him to steal from you."

"Greetings, Neshai... Where is Rufus?"

>>14310654
>>14310577
seconding these

"However, I would be a fool to not walk it, considering my position. Where is Rufus, since it is him we are speaking of?" you ask, nodding for your greeting.

The hag chuckles "I am speaking with him further down the coast. As to your worries, so long as he does not dabble in the so called arts that would steal my due from me, he will reap none of my ire. Now, aside from the boys situation, what other boundaries do you expect you will be pushing, while we are here?"

"Are there ways he could be forged, so to speak, in ways that would require him not knowing? To push him down a more... hmm... harmonious path?"

"What manner of options exist for him, power-wise, as one of his talent, without the use of the dead?"

>>14310702
"I felt it would be wise to inform Rufus of his abilities and at least teach him to use them in ways other than those stealing from you. If I didn't, there's always the chance he would be one of the ones you warned me of. As to what boundaries I may cross, well, I can't say I plan ahead of time on when I intend to cross lines so I am unsure."

At least I myself can't think of any boundaries she might dislike us crossing at the moment.

"We have an shared interest in foiling the necromantic cult. Any intel that you can share with me would be appreciated. Right now I still know very little about them, their true aims, their schedule for their goals, and so on."

>>14310731

So, basically, "How should we train the boy? Unfortunately, there is no one else in my pool of elementalists that seems to be suited for showing him the proper way to channel his abilities. And more than any of the other elementalists, failure to show him that proper way could be...disastrous."

>>14310702
"What of undead which have already been created? Would destroying them return the souls to you? And what of using a necromancer to fight other necromancers? I have not yet been able to find effective means to fight large groups of undead, except through the use of necromantic arts."

>>14310702
"Other boundaries I push? Well, I suppose the first open declaration of my intent while still a mere maniple commander could be called such. I would rather have waited patiently for the right time, but you and your compatriots have forced my hand by returning so /very/ quickly.

Would there be any other aspirants I might need worry about?" Flash a smile, "It seems only fair, after all, seeing as I've directed the boy away from the necromantic arts."

>>14310765
>>14310801
seconding these

"I was wondering what schools of that school I should direct the boy too, or what other skills he may be able to foster, to start. And, does destroying the undead return their souls to you, or are they lost forever?" you reply.

The hag turns to look at you, mismatched eyes peering out from beneath her cowled robes "The two 'lesser' schools, curses and devastation, I beleive you would know them as, are acceptable, and not to terribly difficult to find tomes for." the hag sighs "Yes, the destruction of a reanimated corpse will return to me the soul, though its form is oft mangled for eternity. For flesh golems, oblivion is a gift to those souls so abused and desecrated." Neshai pauses, her eyes hardening with anger "Though ghosts, and those sinners most abominable, worst offenders of those who deny my right, Liches, I do not allow across The Sea, no, I leave them to drown forever yet never die in the crushing depths that stretch for eternities."

>>14310801
I think this and then there isn't really anything else to say. Based on what Jogra said about damage the gods can cause us, do you guys think we should avoid talking to Lamynus at this point? She's been angry at us for ages and hasn't had the chance to even attempt to vent her anger at us. Might be best to wait until she has had that chance unless we want to take a risk. Might not be a good idea in the middle of our campaign though.

>>14310957
Considering that it seems that on this plane, our soul and mind are open to direct attack, I think we should wait until we have enough favors built up with one god or another, who can act as a middle-man or mediator for us. At the very least, wait until we have restored the temples of the other gods.

>>14310957
Yeah, I'd rather not dive into something that can put us down for weeks in the middle of our hardest campaign yet. No Lamynus.

>>14310913
"So, he would be able to banish ghosts to your tender mercies? Good to know. Dragon's Reach is probably old enough to have an... army of them lying around.

That sounded a lot worse coming out of my mouth than I thought it would. Could a necromancer use ghosts to animate corpses?"

>>14310913
"Do you have any recommendation, then on how to counter-act the actions of liches, or of the armies of undead which I may face in the future?
"The tomes available to me only spoke of having a necromancer take control of undead away from an enemy; if said undead were to be destroyed at the end of the conflict, would that be acceptable to you?"

Well, she asked what limits we were going to test, and this sounds like a good limit to explore.

>>14310957
Yeah I'm with ya

>>14311026
You know, if that was the case, it may actually be easier to do so using ghosts, since they're kinda stuck adjacent to the material plane in practically every source you can ask.

>>14311037
Additionally:
"What of the use of ghosts, souls which have have spurned your mercy, in the powering of flesh constructs, or constructs of any type? I am loath to waste a resource when it is available to me."

You nod your head, not wholly surprised by the goddess' response "Then , do I have any competitors you know of?"

The robed figure shakes her head in a negative "None so bold as to announce their intent, or contact us directly, so far as I know, do you truly intend to use me as an informer of some sort?" you almost think that there may be mirth in the goddess of deaths voice for a moment, then you write it off as temporary insanity.

"Of course not. However, our mutual interest in stopping this cult leaves you as one of the divine with whom my relationship is the healthiest and most professionally functional. Lamynus, however..."

Now the most grim of the gods does laugh, and it is terrifyingly wrong on the most fundamental levels possible "Would set you ablaze and violently fuck you until your mortal form was as broken as she could leave it. She would be sure to see that you would not reach a single climax, though she would greatly enjoy the act. Unless she has changed a great deal since I was last forced to converse with her, that is. And she is rather angry with you yet.">cont'd

You instinctively flinch away from the very thought of what the goddess of lust may do to you "That is rather, unpleasant, to say the least." you reply, buying yourself time to overcome that particular terror. "Since you asked about boundaries I may push, what of using ghosts, as you only punish them when they finally are sent to you, for flesh golems, or to power other arcana?"

The goddess laughs again, and the fear it stirs in you is even greater this time, matching the strength of the hags mirth "You already posess such an artifact, though some mage was kind enough to silence the blade at a later point. So long as the remains of no thinking creature is used for the golems, and the ghost is not used for a task it would enjoy, I have no qualms with such acts." you tilt your head, confused "A pacifist for a blade, a keeper of beasts for flesh golems, a warrior for some mundane item of utility. Know the soul before you use it; for if you enjoy the task you make of their eternity..."

Okay then let's not visit Lamynus...

>>14311248
Can't really think of anything else to say at the moment... Except maybe if she knows if there's any way we can protect ourselves from hostile gods in this plane? Otherwise we should move on.

>>14311248
A blade in our possession has a soul in it? or did at some point? Interesting.

>>14311248
>for if you enjoy the task you make of their eternity...
"I understand, quite clearly. I wouldn't wish to impose upon you for consultation with every piece of ghost-fueled arcana created, but I doubt that I shall have enough ghosts contained that it will become a problem."

>>14311352
Most likely the phantom blade dagger arcana we have. It's ability to bypass any armor sounds like a ghost-fueled power, especially since it's primary purpose would be assassination; a purpose that would provide no end of consternation to a pacifist's soul.

>>14311248
>derp, that was supposed to read "if *they* enjoy the task..."

"Is there any way I could converse with one of you on this plane more, securely?" you ask, almost nervously.

"With practice, child. Now, I must be sending you along, young Rufus will awake as you do." the goddess replies at once peering into your mind, and sending you onwards on your trek through the divine realms

>so, Raynha next, or skip ahead a few?

>>14311424
Raynha, then Nyetini, and we're probably done.

Alternately, Raynha, Baashek, Denarius, Nyetini.

>>14311424
I honestly don't have any business with Raynha, or any of the remaining gods except to get their feel on our progress.

>>14311424
I'd say raynha and then go on to nyetini

Raynha, then time to put the moves on Nyetini.

You find yourself outside the great hall Raynha protects, and houses her chosen in, the sounds of merriment and light spilling through the open windows, though they are to far from the ground for you to see inside. The door opens and the goddess steps out, dressed in simple leathers, dirty in the way only a blacksmith can be. "Justinian, what brings you back to my hall?" she asks amiably, wiping the sweat from her brow.

>>14311608
"just thought I'd stop by"

>>14311608
Just wanted to stop by, say hi, and see how your return was going. Everything cool?

>>14311736
Pretty much. Maybe officially state our goal in becoming the 7th since I don't think we have told her but overall that's all we have to do with the gods at this moment. Although people want to hit on Nyetini so more might go on there I guess. Unless she has anything to say to us, I imagine this should be quick and we can get back to mortal business.

"Making the rounds to make sure my already precarious balancing act is still working. And, also, seeing if you have any input into the way I've been making war."

>>14311759
this

>>14311760
Second.

You shrug "Simply stopping through, perhaps making sure that my more... aggressive campaign did not anger you unduly."

The goddess sighs "It is, strange, to have a mortal acting so familiar with me, but... considering your intents I should not be surprised. As to how you carried yourself on that campaign, you showed no undue violence to noncombatants, and it is not lost on me how wars must be waged. Though, unless I am mistaken, you will be a very busy mortal fairly soon. And I have more suits of armor to forge, now that I have enough power to take the fallen heroes for myself, instead of needing to trade favors with Neshai for them." The goddess scratches her head, and you can feel her in your mind "Bold of you, and remember that I lover her as a sister." the goddess quips before sending you on your way.

-----CQ-----

You find yourself in a warm grove, lush with trees and flowers in their mid-spring glory, some of it visibly growing. The goddess rises from the small pond at the back of the grove, vines leap from the floor of the grove to her pink skin, covering her intimate parts, though nothing more, seconds after she is visible. Nyetini walks over to you, pushing her long auburn hair back behind her shoulders to rest at her waist "Justinian Trentz, how kind of you to finally come to visit me. Would you be so good as to tell me the occasion that finally brought you to my realm?" she asks in her light, songlike voice.

rolled 34 = 34

>>14311897
I'm not here for occasion, but perhaps our first meeting is one that we can preserve as an occasion on a later date in my time. (ooooo subtle hitting on, what now) I'm actually here to see everyone of you and your equals to further address how my standing with each of you are. I assume that you were expecting as such sooner or later. Perhaps, even looking forward to?

>>14311897
"well I was in the neighborhood and I just couldn't bear to visit some of your kin without visiting you as well" not very strong but you get the picture

>>14312026
I prefer this actually

>>14312026
This is good enough. Second.

Perhaps we could use this occasion to see if she might be able to help us get information on Seventus. Or better, point us torwards evidence.

>>14311897
"First, I would like to thank you in person for protecting Laelith from the wrath of her former mistress. She is dear to me, as all my ladies are, and it was a great favor to me.

Next, I would speak with you on your desires and intents for the world in the future, and converse with you in general, that I may learn your mind on these things having not spoken before."

Best to start the conversation on familiar subjects and learn about her before busting out our groove.

>>14312106
Right. Forgot she did that. Nice reminder.

>>14312101
That's not a bad idea although in theory we should have asked Jogra instead. Ah well. She could suffice I guess.

>>14311897
We should totally ask for a boon before leaving, and then when she asks what it is reply with, "Merely a kiss, my lady. Something to remember you by when I awake... and perhaps for you to remember me by as well, should I be so lucky."

Mojo time.

>>14312138
You a smooth muthafucka anon

>>14312137
>>14312101
I'd rather not ask the goddess of peace for advice on revenge, we can ask Jogra later.

>>14312138
NICE. I like it, we should totally do it. Smooth as hell.

>>14312101
We can ask Jorga better; he'll probably be happy to help, since he wants to see vengeance done.

rolled 53 = 53

>>14312207
vengeance is just a crude word for justice in this case

You shrug, shifting on your feet as the goddess circles you "No reason in particular, though perhaps this can become an occasion to save."

Nyetini laughs "You are a bold one, though I suppose with your plans, its part work to come and talk with me." she drops her voice into false seriousness at the second part of her statement.

"No, I had to thank you as well, what you did for Laelith, for Kyria..." you trail off, at a loss for words confronted with the being who did so much for them.

"Did you bring me a gift at least?" the goddess teases, running her fingers along your shoulders as she walks back in front of you.

>>14312227
"only the least of gifts for now, My gratitude"

rolled 77 = 77

>>14312227
Well, I know a few lovely ladies who would actually consider one thing from me a most precious gift, given only at times when we are either in a fit of passion, or perhaps just teasing.

(no, not Justinian's cock, though that could be what is referenced at this point)

A mere peck on the cheek will do if I can say so myself, or perhaps the kiss of her hand. If she is willing, let her be the first to make a move.

Ladies, ladies, there is enough for everyone

Justinian.jpg

You just have to come get your slice.

>>14312227
Smile our best Trentz smile and slide our arms around her waist, "I have, though seeing your beauty and grace it hardly seems worthy. As we speak I have a dear friend purchasing your lost temples from the previous age, and it is my desire to see them restored first, along with your sister Raynha's. Love and happiness are something that all should have, and I hope to see them flourish in this new age.

Perhaps, if I may be so bold, would you grant me a boon?"

Then move in for the kill! Err, kiss. I meant kiss. Use the line from before.

You smile, your most honest, caring, deceptively innocent smile before responding "two, actually, though one hardly seems worthy. I plan to restore your lost temples from the First Age first, alongside your sister Raynhas... love and safety are things all deserve, after all." you pause, looking into the goddess' eyes. "And, you have my deepest gratitude." you add, sliding your arm around Nyetinis bare waist slowly and smoothly.

The goddess looks back at you, smiling, such a smile that the grove seems brighter, her eyes seemingly pulling yours into hers. Then, she plants a light kiss on hour cheek, and your whole face feels to be on fire "Oh dear, I seem to have stolen the words from your mouth... I'm so very sorry." she quips after you stand silently grinning for nearly a minute.

Gentlemen. We are outclassed.

>>14312406
Well, she seems pretty adept at this game.
Are we done here? Can we see about the requirements of our mortal shell, now?
I understand that hitting on goddesses is sort of Justinian's thing, but we've got a campaign to run.

This must be what Justinian's work ethic feels like.

>>14312441
indeed and this makes the thrill of the chase all the sweeter

>>14312497
Nod, and bow. "It appears that the Goddess of Peace has been the first to defeat Justinian Trentz. Being an honorable man, I shall withdraw... and hone my tactics for the next encounter. I do hope, though, that it has proven to be a memorable match."

A wink, and I think we're off.

>>14312518
this, on to debriefing rufus

>>14312518
We have consensus. :]

"I- thank you, again." you eventually manage.

"No need to thank me. I look forward to the next time we can meet here." she smiles trailing her fingers along your back as she steps back from you.

You smile, and bow ever so slightly "As do I, and, perhaps, you will not so handily... steal my words, perhaps I will even manage a few of yours." you wink, and are surprised to find the gesture returned.

"It has been an enjoyable exchange, however, your love awaits you." she replies, putting a finger to your lips as you open them to ask which one, and as you fade away, so do her vines, though, once again, she keeps her secrets from you.

-----CQ-----

You awaken to the sound of Sansa polishing and honing her blades, reclined in your cot in naught bet her smallcloths. A few brilliant red lines show the recent work of life elementalists. "Daeseu is removing the corpses, two more blades came earlier tonight, the two of us handled them however." she takes a sip from your flask, wearing a predatory grin, for a brief second, all sweetness and love, save her eyes, still full of her subtle mischief as Rufus' eyes open.

The boy lights up red, his eyes screwing open as he fully returns to consciousness. "I- um, I" Sansa barely represses a laugh, and rolls out of your cot to don a robe.

"Work boy, and remember, your betrothed." she chides, patting him on the head as she kisses you, whispering into your ear "They came just after you started meditating, I saw you harden twice during the meditation... but dont worry, I'm here for you... after you've finished your work of course." and at that, she drops back into your cot, turns to face the other direction and goes back to her blades.

"Is it always like that, talking with her?" the boy asks after a brief silence.

>>14312406
>>14312518

>>14312657
"With Neshai? Pretty much. The best that you can manage is as long as you stay away from her bad side, your afterlife is assured. That is some comfort at least, even if conversing with her directly isn't.
"Now, how did she take your abilities? Did any concerns come up?"

Also, 2 assassins? I'm impressed; the enemy must have been trailing us, and waiting for an opportunity such as this to strike.
We should see if the assassins had any arcana on them.

>>14312657
"Not always, but you'll learn the value of a beautiful woman who speaks what is on her mind without hesitation in your own good time. Tell me, how did the conversation with the Neshai go?"

>>14312657
How nice that we don't even need to go hunting for our enemies; they conveniently come right to us!

You smile "Most of the time, yes... though you will learn to value beautiful women who speak their minds soon enough. Now how did your conversation with Neshai go?"

Rufus tilts his head, his right eye twitching ever so slightly "She was, wary, though... she offered me enough help to ease my nerves." Before you can reply the young man begins to speak again "She, mentioned something about tools you would need during our conversation, early in it, when she still seemed angry about my talent even existing, what was she referring to?"

>>14312831
"Training materials. I also spoke with her, though further down the coast that is her realm, and she mentioned two other ways you could use your talents, as well as the fact that getting the books for either of those ways is actually easier than getting it for pure necromancy. Should you chose to evolve your skill past controlling it, that is."

>>14312865
sounds good

>>14312831
"Tomes, instructional texts, and training manuals that you will need. She has stated to me that there are two sub-schools of necromancy that may be good for you and whose texts I will be able to find easily. As long as you do not take souls from her, she will not bother you."

I think we have a training glove for him as well.

"Training materials for you, tomes and such. I was told that there will be two schools of your art that she finds acceptable, and so long as you stay within those bounds, she will neither bother nor punish you." you reply honestly.

Rufus stutters "No, I, she told me that too. Neshai was referring to something else, that I shouldn't have heard... mumbling to herself like someone who has been alone for a long time would."

>>14312992
"Tools I would need? Well, as a maniple commander on campaign, there are many tools I could use. I will bring it up with Neshai when next I speak with her."

She probably meant arcana or something to help us fight the undead, but I don't know why she didn't mention it to us. Either way, it's not something we should let Rufus know about.

>>14312992
"Tools -I- would need? hmm... She may have been referring to the fact that one of the few ways to effectively counter a necromancer is another of the same. A strong or lucky enough one could wrest control of the dead from their master."

What if Rufus is one of the tools? Maybe he cannot counter other necromancers, but we might be able to use him to interrogate captured prisoners, especially any cult members we capture in the future.

"Tools that I could use?" you ask, hiding what you suddenly feel suspicious of "more likely than not her noting that if I am clever enough you could be very useful for me during this campaign, or something to that effect. I will ask her about it when next I speak with her."

Rufus shrugs "I, I suppose I should leave your tent, it is late after all. And, thank you Commander." you nod amiably as the lad walks from the tent. You make your way over to your cot, tired but willing to get a little more tired yet tonight.

Light flows into the tent, waking you rudely "Justinian, the scouts are back and..." Jayne trails off, forcing out a sigh "These are not easy, nor are they free for the two of you when we're on campaign" Jayne greets you, and you feel a hand run across both your shoulders and then Sansas. "As I was saying, the scouts found signs that the enemy is moving from some of the ruins away from the forest towards one of the northern iron mines. They estimate that they will reach the place within three days, considering the goat-trail the elves are using."

We will need a time estimate for how quickly we can set up defenses at the iron mine.
Also, we need to see if Blackbird is back, so that he can be sent to confirm the enemy force size and target; this could be an attempt by the enemy to attempt to defend one site while they attack another.
