[QUOTE="BSF, post: 2548612, member: 13098"] Tholnar nods at Lune. "I will ask for volunteers and make a choice. I am sure I have at least one servant that will be suitable." He then turns toward his camp. At his approach, a Trumpet Archon flies toward him. Moments later, the Archon rises into the air and calls forth a muster of Tholnar's forces. Almost immediately rigid formations fall into place. Tholnar surveys this small portion of his army with pride. At the far end, a huge Solar stands at attention. Berothaemial, one of Tholnar's generals. "Friends," Tholnar's voice carries over the army, "I seek a volunteer," before he finishes speaking nearly the entire army steps forward in zeal. Tholnar stops, shakes his head slightly, and then continues. "Please, I must finish what I am to ask for. I need volunteers that will be taken away from the direct battles against evil. This is an important mission, but you will forgoe most of your comraderie, you will forgoe your right to fight at my side, you must act independantly, and you must act with some degree of stealth. There is no shame if you are not willing to undertake such a task. I gladly have any and all of you at my side to defend all that is good in the multiverse."
