[QUOTE="Guilt Puppy, post: 1034401, member: 6521"] Nathaniel claps a hand down on his companions back -- friendly, but still a bit more of a smack than a pat. "Ecgthow, we have another mission to complete, remember. Further, from the last battle I can tell you we stand no chance against these numbers -- it would take an army, and that is exactly what we need to raise." "And I'll fight alongside that army, to the last breath, [i]if we have retrieved what we were sent to retrieve first[/i]. But to fight alone, now, we would not only waste our own lives, but we would be letting untold others die and suffer as well. From these men, beasts, whatever you'd call them. From the Fire. We are [i]responsible[/i] for both, now, understand? Any life lost to them is lost to our carelessness and inaction as well if we fail to do everything in our power to take care of [i]both.[/i]" His voice is quiet, but as intense as a sermon, turning from a simple chiding toward Ecgthow to a true call to arms, directed toward all in the group. "Now, if the risk is minimal, perhaps we can try to find out more [i]information,[/i] which may aid the real battle -- one we should be sure shall happen, before we risk that we may not live to see it. Despite that, I think two of us should head back to the keep, to send word of what we know, and to rally arms." "I've had some success with that in the past," he says modestly, but with a knowing truthfulness as well, "although if you'd feel safer with my blade here, we can try to work out something else."
