War

"Please, rise, Sir Derune." Moore says as he takes a look at the orders. "You are more than welcome here, if there's anything I can do to provide for you and your forces, please let me know. We can easily expand the fortress to accomodate you. Actually... we probably should start doing that anyway. Grias, can you please take care of that?" He asks over his shoulder.

They look to be in order. "I'll be under your command for the sake of matters relating to Hope's Landing, but otherwise working as an independent force," Knight Derune says, "I prefer Knight or Watchman rather than Sir Derune. My forces are en route, they are composed of an ascended elven brigade who served Lord Helm in mortal life."

"Oh yes, I'm on it," Grias says, drifting off right away.

[Nephrite]

"Very well, Knight Derune. You're free to call me Moore, or, if you're not comfortable with that, Duke is fine." Moore says, putting the orders away. "If you have any needs, just let myself or Grias know."

[Anastasia]

A slight nod, "I like the golems you have at the gates. Golems never tire or need to rest, they're excellent guards for simple tasks."

[Nephrite]

"They came with the place, admittedly." Moore says with a smile. "I hadn't added much else due to... well, suffice to say, this particular place is protected."

[Anastasia]

A look upward. Angels fly about with archons, but more than that, the light of Chronias shines brightly.

"Ahem," The Knight says. "Logically, this place will become a hub."

[Nephrite]

"I'd been working on that from the side of trade, but it may end up being a military hub first." A smile and a shrug at that. "What can you do?" A laugh follows. "...Ah, that reminds me, I need to request something if we're going to do this properly. If you need me for anything, Knight, please let me know."

[Anastasia]

A slight nod to that, "I will, Duke."

Anything to add here?

[Nephrite]

Not currently.

Moore goes to go write a letter of requisition for 5 Stones of Sending.

He's requesting 5 items that can be used as Sending, except that are instant. The going price for them that I believe we had agreed on previously was 60,000 gold each. He's basically just writing the request for the use of the people in Hope's Landing to be passed out as needed to stay in comminucation depending on where they go and all that.

I'm not sure who it'd need to be addressed to, specifically, but I'm sure we can handwave that if you don't want to deal with it.

[Anastasia]

Okay, that'll be sorted after your trip to Mineral. Who are you taking with you and any prep?

This is probably the last post of the night as I noted it would be a minor session due to positioning and needing to finish level ups, so think it over if you need to.

[Nephrite]

There's no reason not to take the whole group. I'll write out all the prep before Monday.

[Anastasia]

Well, tomorrow is Friday and we do game, and I haven't canceled it yet. (Unless you're not going to be here?)

[Nephrite]

I'm really stupid. I will have it ready by Friday.

Done and done. The party appears in a cavern glittering with veins of thick gold, thicker than Cresiel's muscled body. Pure gold, not a hint of impurity, solid glittering masses everywhere. A single path is ahead, inviting you further within.

Kaja looks around, a low hiss as he shivers.
