Rainca is not. Rainca remembers Warrior Gath at her feet, close to death, because of such ill-timed bravery. The actions of the hoarsuns cannot be tolerated. If they will not listen to reason, we will track and kill each. We will hunt them down like rabid wolves." Rainca is shaking and her eyes blaze, her voice rises, "Rainca will drink hot blood from their broken skulls."  She stops suddenly, panting. She calms herself forcibly, "But Rainca thinks such measures will not be neccessary." She glances at the captives, mouth twitching.She brushes a hand over her flushed face and takes a deep breath before continuing, quietly addressing her words first to Dioran, and then the others, "You are right, Dioran Uthelem, information is what we need to decide our course of action. Rainca does not think that Council Man Therick should be present when we meet with Hiznibs and Council Man Therick does not need to know that when we leave we go to speak with Hiznibs. Council Man Therick only needs to know that when we return, no matter what we have done, the people of Bluerun are safe." She glances at Gath and Lupic and breaks off for a moment, studying the floor and rubbing an odd bone-colored knife tied to her arm with strands of beads and trinkets... Bukun'e, Rainca needs your wisdom... The young barbarian smiles briefly... For, she already has your long-windedness...She begins again, "If Council Man Therick were reasonable about the hoarsuns, Rainca would tell him of this plan herself. But he is not. He is blind and full of hate. We cannot be like him. Or like Hiznibs, taking by force what we believe to be ours. The lives of these hoarsuns are worth our caution. Their meaningless deaths will mark our spirits forever. And the Blood Father's Wife would turn her back on Rainca with such a mark on her spirit. Rainca will not wander the Spirit Home alone for an eternity because she was too afraid or lazy to do first what is right, and chose instead what is easy."OOC: Hooboy. She's all fired up now. I fear for any bandits who cross her path with ready blades. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I don't mean to railroad, anybody who wants to stand up to Rainca, feel free. This is good times. Or, if you hate these sorts of debates, let me know and I'll scale it back a bit.</blockquote>
