[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 3880428, member: 7006"] If either of the slights made against the halfork had any impact on him, there was no register of it on his face. However, the fact that he does make a retort tells you that their responses mattered to him in at least some way. [COLOR=DimGray]"Apparently you both failed to grasp my statements beyond the obvious... which of course tells me you both are a little too high on your own merits, and that you do not understand larger tactical consequences."[/COLOR] Again, he does not direct his statements to the people with whom he is speaking, but rather again just says them straight out... as though making his point to the specific individual isn't as important to him as just making his voice heard. To the more observant, perhaps he is vocalizing his thoughts in order to commune with the world at large? The gods? Those that might be listening in? It is hard to tell. [COLOR=DimGray]"If a group of eight is slaughtered in a matter of seconds... it says that there is a numbers superiority involved, in addition to skill. Which means regardless of how skilled a group of seven might be... whether it be seven Windwrights or seven so-called Gnomish giant-killers... those skills are meaningless if the giants outnumber them four, five, six to one. To believe otherwise is foolishness. You must 'spend money to make money' is the old proverb... and in this case... only by spending money on a numerically superior force will you hope to eventually make that money back by succeding in your endeavor. To use another old proverb, there is no use in 'throwing good money after bad'... which is exactly what sending groups of seven or eight people at a time obviously is."[/COLOR] As he continues, he this time does something somewhat out of the ordinary of what you've seen thus far, by raising his left hand and actually pointing his finger at Bendis at the front of the room... even though he still keeps his eyes staring out straight into space. [COLOR=DimGray]"However, if this man has received visions from those that commune with the spirits that they have seen a group of seven go out and try to accomplish this... then I am satisfied. Even if on the face of it the strategy is weak... I will in no way look askance at those who follow their god's will. And if we are the strategy their seers have foreseen... then I will follow knowingly and willingly."[/COLOR] Yoggrith then lowers his arm, pushes his chair away from the table, and stands up to leave with the group.
