"I appreciate your consideration, I get the impression from the looks of you that a good number may fall by your blade. Tell me, did I miss you earlier or did you just show up?"
The woman smiled at the kinder and took a long drag from her smoke.
"I suppose it helps some to keep mementos from the past, personally I have tried to forget most of mine but that may be unusual..."
The woman grasped at the monocle in her pocket, rubbing her index finger over its glass sheen. Her eyes dropped as she thought about returning to her homeland for the first time in years, she immediately put on a smile as soon as she became aware of her demeanor and attempted to play off the moment.
"Of course I could just be lying, you really don't know me at all beyond the fact that I am a Greevan Drow which would already make my last statement very hypocritical."
"A mistake that my trade as a peacekeeper has led me to make one too many times, I find that the minds way of judging people at first appearance is more likely than not one of the minds defense mechanisms, albeit one I am remiss to endorse and ashamed to apply... I apologize."
"From my time in Greevan, all I can tell you is that the elves typically either focus on magics or physical combat and at their highest levels raise either to an art form. They can be very formidable foes. The elven city is built from the bottom up, with my people at the lowest levels and the elites at the highest. If we can sway the Drow to join us, we may be able to gain a significant advantage although some of my people have grown into a regrettable complacency."
Juris will be set to take only the standard 100 LP..
Hearing that the battle plans had been settled and soon he'd be fighting for the people of Greevan that had been unlawfully treated, Juris turns toward his teammates.
Juris to Sum'era and Arl - Yes, we will become recognized as heroes and champions that fought and still fight for what's right.
*Cee had been worrying about something since Bree started talking, but remained silent as he feigned sleep*
Arl had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, staring intently at one of her paper swords, when Juris and Sum'era made their comments to her.
Arl- Huh? Oh! Yeah, we're going to be helping a lot of people. *Arl smiles at the thought before mild unease regained control of her face* Have you guys been in a battle like this before? My hometown had some crazy brawls but I've never been done.. something like this...
Arl's swords begin to fold together as she looks towards her companions, the blades becoming a single halberd.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eizen had pulled out a very fancy and comfortable chair..seemingly from his cloak... for someone to sit on he and Gerr planned various maneuvers and strategies with Magnus while Bleu acquired more information. He pulled out an empty crate for someone to sit on if they so desired. Eizen himself sits on the ground in a meditative style.
Eizen- I sadly lack enough chairs for all of us. I hope you don't mind, Mr... I don't think I heard your name. I'm Eizen and this is Gerr.
Juris - Well, ever since I joined the Peacekeepers, my main assignments were to make sure that local businesses weren't being harassed by any members of the more unsavory elements of society. This is the first time I'm involved in a situation in which so many people are fighting, let alone for their lives and livelihoods.
Arl - I see. I've seen people fight for their lives and livehoods before but.. not in a fight I participated in. Not really. Although the Crimson Smile bounty sorta devolved into chaos so maybe this will be a little like that. Only.. with more death.. I don't like killing people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eizen - Ah. Void items and magics are not that uncommon, but I was born with an unusually strong affinity for them. Objects I store appear to be kept in some sort of stasis, among other peculiarities. Aside from that I can hide in shadows, create 5' radius spheres of darkness, and summon monkeys.
Bree turned to Arl, taking solace in the child's words.
"Very few of the crimson passed thanks to our care Arl and MANY of the elves we will be facing deserve death. We will do our best to avoid fatalities, particularly amongst the middle and under class."
Sum'era
At first she looks with pity on the young girl but then her face softens. "I have only participated in a battle of this magnitude in my dreams, but I can feel it,this is what I was meant for. My blood thrills at the thought. the only thing I can do is point my lust for battle in the right direction. But let me tell you this, battles are won by the strong of heart. If our cause is just and our spirit strong then there is no way our enemies can stand before us, and when they surrender we will show them mercy, for it is the honorable thing to do!"

Maeve answered Bleu. "They will all be dressed in their usual armor. They are all elves, though, so I would suggest wearing a closed helm if you try to infiltrate."
The dawn_ was near.
Un-looting is possible, but you only get 50% of the LP back. Battle will begin in a moment, in a new thread. People may still have their character converse here retro-actively if you'd like to have any pre-battle conversations, actions, or rituals.
"Looks like we are going to leave soon..." Gerr said.
Gerr held up a handful of leather straps used to hold gerr onto somebody back
If anybody big enough to use it on red or purple team it would help Gerr keep up since he has small legs. But he waits for Eizen to explain this because he is the one Gerr is holding the straps at and staring with his irresistible eyes.
Juris to Arl - I'm from Epicrin. My family used to run a small spell shop there. Although they are mostly retired now.
Juris looked from Arl to Sum'era and then at a few of the other people he had spoken to. He had a feeling that he'd met some people that he'd be glad to fight alongside of, even if he put himself in real danger doing it.
Arl - They ran a spellshop? That's cool! I'm from a town in My'Kurr. My um..
Cee suddenly wakes up. Or rather, quits pretending to sleep.
Cee - Speaking of parents with spells, I'm burning Aro's scribbles if you die in this war Arl!
Arl - Wait, WHAT?!
Arl quickly looks around for something as Cee takes off. He projects his voice back to where Arl and the others are sitting as he does so.
Cee - You heard me! Or maybe I'll give them to some crazy mage. So you better focus on not dying rather than not killing Arl! You won't be helping people in the long run!
Arl - Cee.. I don't think you'll.. ok, I promise. I'm definitely going to survive this Cee. So you better keep the book safe!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eizen - Of course.
Eizen, having packed his stuff back into his void, scoops up Gerr and lets the Greel set up the straps as he heads toward the staging ground.
The woman smiled at the kinder and took a long drag from her smoke.

As the kindir spoke he pulled a small hide bound book, scratching something into it with a black quill.
Bree's inquisitive nature got the better of her as she stared at the mans journal.
"What do you keep in that little book of yours anyway Mr. Storyteller?"
