[QUOTE="Redclaw, post: 3989859, member: 53791"] Larian shakes his head in sympathy for the difficult decisions the town's leaders must make.[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Sadly, I too have seen towns put to the sword, and it's a sight I would rather live the rest of my life without seeing again. The map, and the notes on it, suggest they aren't just after a bit of treasure. They have plans that take them all the way to Brindol. Your village is but a bump in their road, and I doubt they'll even pause to parlay with you.[/COLOR] He turns to Captain Soranna. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Realistically, how many hobgoblins could your guard hold off at a time? Given a few days to dig in and set up defenses, maye a hundred? There are a hundred times that many coming.[/COLOR] He turns to Kellin. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Your valor is admirable, but the reality is grim. Have you ever fought a dragon? A manticore? They fly, so those defenses you build will pose little hindrance to them.[/COLOR] He turns at last to Iormel. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]I understand your concern for what you've worked so hard to build, but I have just seen the remains of Vraath Keep, a fortified stone outpost, designed to defend those within. It was destroyed by a few giants. This force has more, and other powerful allies. Your town will be levelled in no time if you try to stand against them.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]I wish I were not the one to be bringing you such news, but your lives are about to change drastically. I fear that if you stay here and try to avoid that change, or to ignore it, that it will cost you your lives. This is no small inconvenience, and no short-lived threat to a few citizens. This is war, and you are the first town in its path. Save the lives of your townsfolk.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
