[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8745354, member: 7030144"] [Session 122, cont'd] Kit talks to Grandmaster Farsensor about talking to the Blessed Wood. “They only have the Eldarborn Lord, his consort, his son, and one other Eldar. Since you wish them to commit their ships—you will have to speak to the Lord of the Wood. You will be talking to the Eldarborn Lord Tha’indri’al.” He creates a psionic connection. The elves speak in Eldar for a while, and then he says, “He tells me that you have need of the Blessed Wood.” Kit tells him that our holiest city is under threat from a great enemy and that we humbly asks their aid in stopping this attack that is coming by air. “What is this enemy?” Kit gets a strange word in her mind, probably from the Grandmaster Farsensor. She struggles and forms the syllables by force of will, and the Eldar and the wood elf attendants gasp. “Lady Katharine, we rarely interfere with the younger races, but that the ancient abominator has come again requires extraordinary action on our part. I will commit our vollers—all five of our fleet—and 100 archers.” As he fades out, his attendants strap on crystal armor. * * * Alistair has several priests perform divinations—"should we expect a significant attack on Canberry (excluding the people within the Holy See) within the next day?" Yes. Divination: "How best can we defend against the attack on Canberry, without Alistair or his entourage returning to Canberry?" Look far to the South, they attack where weak, open your mouth, armies there seek. Commune: Is Canberry City itself in imminent danger? No. Is the expected attack on Canberry in the former South Kingdoms? Yes. Is it targeted at their effective capital? Yes. Is the South Kingdom colony in the southern continent going to be imminently attacked? Yes. Can Dame Katharine, the Mouth, raise armies to defend? No. Can the Empress Kaitlyn raise armies to defend by her speech? No. Is the primary way to defend by providing warning of the attack? Yes. Will the attack be by air? Yes. Is it an attack by Zorplona-Aragoni? Yes. (Unasked because ran out of questions: Is it an attack directly by forces of the Unspeakable? Is it an attack by Skaven? Is it an attack by humans?) * * * Alistair reaches out to Lady Zel’est’ra Moriquendarim through a human Farsensor. They negotiate. She agrees to engage the enemy and to provide 8000 uruks (eight elite legions, with permission for the Glordiadelians to proselytize to them) to defend against the surface troops. She identifies the airfleet as Hanalian; Alistair promises a reasonable fee for their services, as well as any prize ships that they take (and he says that they’ll turn a blind eye to what happens to any prisoners taken beyond the borders of the Holy See.) She points out that there are also 57 surface ship troop carriers. They also talk about whether anyone can bring the Seventh Region to heel. Alistair gave her the information about the Prince of the Cities of Pain.
