"Everything here. I want the slaves free, and the facility here."

[Anastasia]

A sniff, loud and haughty. "Ah, barbarism," Is the reply you get. "Forsake the law and rationality, steel and spell will carry force and your will. Take it all and leave those who earned it destitute and broken, if not dead for buzzards to scavenge them."

[Iron Dragoon]

"What I want is their freedom. What's in the buildings can be used to gain it for others. Those here, who run this place are far from being so powerless as to have no other options. They have enough power to go elsewhere and be."

[Anastasia]

"Ah, a barbarian's peace. Flee and leave your treasure, and you can live a life in fear. Barbarism!" The voice scoffs. "The tanar'ri would approve of every jot and tittle of your deeds here, woman."

"Fuck you." Jarem speaks up here, "Fuck you and fuck hiding behind the law to try and shield yourself from the consequences of your own crimes. You want to try and stop us? You know where we are, and we're coming right your way. Deal with that rather than whining about someone stepping up and doing what needs to be done."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Now wait. You expect me to be reasonable and flexible to your opinion, but not you to mine. I don't deny law; there are many who... Need it. But law and rules are different than slavery and ruthless domination. Those that patron this place go far beyond anything the reasonability you ask us for."

[Anastasia]

"Then," The voice says, "I do not believe we have any further negotiations. I will not mourn your deaths."

[Iron Dragoon]

"It is indeed unfortunate that your inflexibility will lead to a fight. Such is always the way with dictators and dominators. I had hoped you might have more perspective."

[Anastasia]

There's no reply to that, at least verbally.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa motions everyone forward!

[Anastasia]

Before anything else, are you warded against mind affecting?

[Iron Dragoon]

Mindblank, CL 32.

[Anastasia]

Images begin to form in the mists. Indistinct and hazy to you, yet the common soldiers freeze, several screaming. The swirling mists resume, spreading those strange images about.

"Fear attack," Jarem calls loudly, "Rally your wills and prepare counter measures!"

Emily stops, "Be strong," she calls, "Hope is with you."

Ianvasah growls low as she goes along, while Bastian shakes his head, "Mind games," he says in disgust, "Cowardly tactics by a cowardly wizard."

[Iron Dragoon]

My Mindblank hits 21 peeps. It's reasonable that I'd include as many as possible in it.

Alyssa gives Ianvasah a flat look at the wizard comment.

"It's effective, Jarem, can you help them?"

[Anastasia]

That's a fair point and would cover most of the army. In that case revising.

Images begin to form in the mists. Indistinct and hazy to you, yet a handful of common soldiers freeze, several screaming. The swirling mists resume, spreading those strange images about.

"Fear attack," Jarem calls loudly, "Rally your wills and prepare counter measures!"

Emily stops, "Be strong," she calls, "Hope is with you."

Ianvasah growls low as she goes along, while Bastian shakes his head, "Mind games," he says in disgust, "Cowardly tactics by a cowardly wizard."

[Iron Dragoon]

To be fair, I should have thought to mention it. Of note, most of my buffs were Chained which covers 21 people each spell, so I dunno if you wanna make a quick cheat sheet for it, since a lot of them are pretty significant (I.E.- Epic Mage Armor, Energy Immunity, ect.

Alyssa gives Ianvasah a flat look at the wizard comment.

"It's effective, though. Jarem, can you help them? I suspect our host might think much like I do, considering. Everyone might want to reevaluate how to fight him."
