[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7579852, member: 79141"] [b]Session 218, Part Three[/b] [B]Conference[/B] Following a sending to Harkover Lee, to inform him of developments, they arranged for the king’s key advisors to teleport on to the Coaltongue as it flew back to Flint. Lauryn Cyneburg, Viscount Price-Hill, Stover Delft and Sebastian Harlock attended in person. The Principal Minister attended in astral form. (Alden Wondermaker sent his clockwork avatar, too, but not to take part in the discussions.)
