Diplomacy wars, round 2

[Anastasia]

Thus do Seira and Alicia head to Hope's Landing once more, everyone gathering there a second time and...

Go ahead and intro yourselves in, everyone, and we'll start rolling from there.

[Corwin]

This time around, Seira arrives together with Alicia, Valar and Honeydip accompanying her on behalf of the Cauldron. Hopefully, the presence of both commanders of her armies will convince the Sultan of her seriousness and lead to a diplomatic breakthrough. As before, Seira doesn't bother with any visible weapons, choosing to wear Morwel's gift to the summit.

[Nephrite]

Moore is there again to greet everyone just outside of the archway leading in, his companions behind him and flanking his sides.

He wears his pearly white dress coat and raises a hand in greeting and a polite bow to all the arriving individuals!

[Ebiris]

Alicia is armed and armoured as she always is. Everyone will just have to hope she doesn't draw her sword and start stabbing people!

Though if asked she'll surrender her weapon to Celestia's care during the talks, but it's not as if she's much less dangerous without it, and everyone should know that. It's more of an image thing.

"Hello again Moore," she nods to their diminutive host as she arrives with Seira and her contingent, adding greetings to the rest of his entourage.

[Nephrite]

"It's an honor to have you all here." Moore  says with a proud smile. "I hope we can accomplish much today."

[Anastasia]

As you all chat - you see it. A pillar of fire rises from the ground in the distance, just like last time.

[Corwin]

Seira lets Moore play host as she waits for the Sultan to arrive.

As before, MMoP is active to help with opposite checks, and so are Greater Heroism/Good Hope.

[Nephrite]

Moore will wait a dutiful amount away from the fire to greet their new guest!

[Ebiris]

Alicia turns to watch as the evil efreet defiles the shores of Mount Celestia with his presence.

[Anastasia]

Thus the flames slowly part, primal elementals coming once more. It is followed by the Grand Sultan, walking along as the light of Chronias seems to shine even brighter against him. Yet he is not the only efreet there.

Commander Nasir Farhad Madani walks along with with the Grand Sultan, a knowing smile when he meets Moore's gaze.

[Nephrite]

That doesn't bode well for the answer The Sultan is pursuing.

Nonetheless, Moore gives a proper bow of recognition to their guests.

"Thank you for making the trip again." He says sincerely. "Please, now that all the parties have gathered, follow me."

Moore will take everyone through the archway and to his diplomatic meeting building to find the familiar table!

As a reminder if anyone didn't see before, when you sit it fits you no matter what and you seem to be eye level with whomever else is sitting!

[Ebiris]

Alicia is silent as she follows Moore and takes a seat with Valar between herself and Seira.

[Corwin]

Perhaps he's now serious in trying to reach a settlement? Might as well see where it leads.

[Anastasia]

Diplomatic meeting building to find a...what, Moore? I don't think it matters but in case it does, could you clarify?

[Nephrite]

I will fix, but it was supposed to say 'diplomatic building to find the familiar table'
