Gathering those that are Preparing for the Dracolich
-
Dwin places his hands on his hips and frowns a bit as he listens to Mariston. Once he finishes speaking, he addresses the entire group
Mariston… you have come to Norwick's aid more than once, when your Senate would not raise a finger to help us. I have always been grateful for that. I am grateful for the light that your Shrine spreads in the Realm. Don't let it be snuffed!
Geography sometimes provides a different point of view, eh? The Yuan Ti are our neighbors. The Fire Giants are yours. Ironically, both have come to our aid in the past. Would I call them allies? That is different. Neither are in this room right now! smirks
I know little of the holy-ways of palladins, but I do know that any god that would strike down a follower when he was defending the defenseless seems to have his priorities a bit mis-forged.
Last I checked, I am still the Lord Chancellor of this land, smirks and on Moradin's hammer I can swear to you that I have had no conversations with the Yuan Ti, and no formal agreements have been made with them.
I ask you, Mariston, old-friend, to ally with me. Should the Yuan Ti choose their own path against the same foe, we may be thankful for their acts without having to call them allies, yes?
-
Tis not a matter of old prejudices tis the fact that if a paladin or cleric of our Gods were to ally themselves with this endeavour the gods themselves wouldst remove their favour form them.
There is no such thing as the lesser of two evils, there is merely two evils. Evil is a force, a corrupting cunning one at that. Be wary of those that offer swift aid, yet hold sway to dark forces, for there will be a reckoning for that aid.
The Yuan-ti hath been seeking power and influence in this region for years, through manipulation and prophecies of doom.
There can be no alliance with such evils for any devote follower of a goodly divinity.
-
The Chancellor speaks up after listening to the banter.
If not for the Yuan-ti, we would all be speaking furball right now. chuckles Allies or not, they share the same enemies that we do, and they have come to Norwick's assistance many times in the past.
It would sadden me to see one ally walk away because of another's involvement.
At this point, Dwin glances at any of his respected kin from the Hold (if they are present)
Muamman Duathal teaches my people that one must learn to live with other peoples. He teaches hope. He teaches trust.
Knowing the foes that we are up against, I would hope that everyone… myself included, can put aside historical biases or religous differences and work together.
At this last point, Dwin addresses his old friend Mariston directly
We may have but one chance at this. Quarrels should be full, axes should be sharpened, armor should shine and banners should fly. All enemies of the Great Evil must unite --lest there be nothing left to argue about afterwards, anyway...
-
Yngdír gives one of his never-ending roundabout opinions to Theaon during the muster, after the Order-man speaks.
"I would prefer to have the Order on our side than the Yuan-ti. They rely heavily on magic, these Knights are Men with steel and bow, and divine conviction. Yet things are already so - and have been so since the dawning of these troubles."
-
::Mariston enters and speaks::
Tis spoken that the yuna-ti art aiding in this foray, if that is the case none of the Order of the Divine Shields knights may aid, and I wouldst caution other priests of goodly gods to take stock. For an alliance with such may see them removed from the graces of their gods.
So is it true that some alliance with the yuan-ti is under taken in this?
-
::The blonde High Priestess walks in clad in her golden and crimson armor as she raises her warhammer, leaning it on her right shoulderplate::
Lathander and I will see the demise of that abomination.
-
Arlan raises his hand
Hey uh, Not to sound pessimistic or anything. But if they do take Norwick what the hell do we do?
-
Aelfin quietly walks in the room, dressed for war. Apparently he's taken to wearing the brooch of the Shesae again. He remains silent, listening to what others have to say about the current threat. He does not say whether or not he plans to go into the battle, however, or that he will simply remain with those who guard Norwick's walls.
((Very bad hour for me, so I doubt I can make it in time to leave for the LC))
-
Apollo enters the Hall right when Benji starts shouting and stands in the back watching quietly.
-
Benji returns after the South Gate Massacre.
…
FARK!
...I NEED MORE GONDAMN TROOP COUNTS HERE. WHO'S COMING ALONG?
There is NO WAY I'm going to fight past all those FARKING undead super warriors without some SERIOUS SHITE backing me up!
AND THE DRACOLICH!
ARAMUIL! Do you still have that magic death killer undead slaying magic spear? Are we using it? How else can we kill it? Did somebody mention a phylactery?
Does anyone else have any Gondamn plans? SPEAK UP!
From what I JUST SAW down south they can VERY EASILY take Norwick.
IF WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO STOP THAT THING THEN WE NEED TO START GETTING EVERYONE OUT OF NORWICK NOW!
-
Celad is present, standing quietly in the back. He waits nervously to here his part in the defense.
-
One of the rare occasions when Yngdír is within Norwick's hall. He is clearly present for the muster.

@5538565caf=Araighn:
_General Theaon simply pats Benji on the shoulder after his announcement, then speaks
"Perhaps all involved parties should move inside to discuss this."_
((In my first post I said 'Once everyone is gathered in the Great Hall' so I'm assuming everyone is inside in the Great Hall in Norwick when Benji starts shouting))
-
Maya pledges to be there, and lend her axe against it.
-
Belma'r attends the meeting, but mostly keeps his mouth shut regerding specifics about the Dracolich. He does go a long way to insult it and say they will defiantly probably maby kill it. Among his long ramble he mentions Aramuil should be in charge because he's smart and knows the most about the Dragon Lich.

Val stands in the Great Hall, waiting to see if any of her Superiors step up to speak.

A white hawk sits on one of the high rafters of the Great Hall, observing.
