Dawnforge - The True Kings

[Widowmaker]

These magical steeds are wonderful, but they are not real animals. Shade is a much finer animal to control.

Sir Aravir will hand over the King's orders to the scouts. He will then use the pull the magical powder from its pouch and dust it over Shade. Once the horse is at full size he will calm the animal and make sure everything is okay.

As Sir Aravir looks into the camp he will sit high in his saddle. Letting his noble heritage show. How I missed the feel of the men, the smell, the comradiere. One day I hope to command such a force.

"General" Sir Aravir will state and nod his head, giving the man the courtesy he has earned. "The two elves Galan and Jillian and myself are the Thunder. The others have devised a plan, they are the rain." As he speaks he will nod towards the two elves.

Galan looks toward Jillian, glad to have someone else from the Sildanyr on the trip. I miss home. "I hope the King sent word ahead that we were coming," he says. "I'm going to be annoyed if every Kingsmarch soldier we run into along the way thinks that we are spies," he says to her quietly.

Jillian simply nods at Galan's words.

"General" Sir Aravir will state and nod his head, giving the man the courtesy he has earned. "The two elves Galan and Jillian and myself are the Thunder. The others have devised a plan, they are the rain." As he speaks he will nod towards the two elves.

The wood elf slightly nods to the general as Aravir mentions her name.

Hiitar Vain, male Teifling soldier.

Hiitar frowns at the scouts as the horses come to a halt, but he says nothing, letting the others do the talking.

The Teifling remains quiet for the rest of the trip into the camp. A couple of things are bothering him. Firstly there is the Grimoire. Hiitar wonders about the wisdom of taking it with them into enemy territory. Darvekis left it behind for a reason, it is too valuable for the enemy to have. The second is the healing potions. With their cute little heart and sun, they are obviously from Kingsmarch. They have to expect to be searched, and the potions would be something of a problem to explain. Hiitar continues to mentally pick appart their story.

The Teifling bows to the General as Sir Aravir point out those who are the Rain.

- ooc -
Isida, sorry about the lack of posts. Got a bit caught up in things. Was there an answer to this question: "One last question; how well has news of Darvekis's capture been disseminated through the Dominion? Do we know?"

*Haedyn is silent for the majority of the journey, and doesn’t become any more vocal once they reach the camp unless asked a direct question...leaving the talking to those who are best suited to it.*

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Excellent then. Archer, mage, and knight, I think we can make quite a show for the Dominion dogs with you three! For the Thunder, I think I have some additional ideas. Jillian, I will put you with our Andlemere archers. We don't have many elves in our ranks, so you won't look too odd for not being with them. We want to create a little rain of our own, with arrows, to get their attention.

"Galen, I'll put you with our warmages. I want you to discuss with them what will work best, but I'd like to concentrate on destroying the towers. Our previous efforts were to destroy the pits, but they're impervious to damage from outside while the demons are summoned within. The only sure way to damage them is from the inside. Needless to say, we're not doing that this time around, we don't need to get that close.

"Sir Aravir, I believe you will be with our mounted knights. When we get their attention with arrows and exploding towers, I need you to help lead the charges against their front ranks. We need to inflame their tempers, I believe, to make them think of us and not of the Rain. Now, would either of you do better being somewhere else? And what other ideas do you have? I'm not adverse to trying something different.

"For you of the Rain, when do you wish the assault to begin? Dawn? Twilight? Night? I'd prefer dawn if at all possible, or close to it, their demons can draw strength from the darkness. And is there anything else you need for the rescue?"

 

[Starman]

Galen nods. I welcome the chance to speak with more wizards. I'm not sure how much I have to offer them, but no doubt they will have much they can teach me.

 

[Widowmaker]

"I would be proud to lead the knights. I would like the chance to scout the area out. Once the action starts I may need the support of the warmages and archers. Maybe we can suprise them." Sir Aravir will state to the General. Aravir stands tall and proud. Finally back in the saddle at the lead of mighty men.

""For you of the Rain, when do you wish the assault to begin? Dawn? Twilight? Night? I'd prefer dawn if at all possible, or close to it, their demons can draw strength from the darkness. And is there anything else you need for the rescue?"

"Ideally, I would like to be with Davekis when the attack begins. I think it will probably take us an hour or two to get permission and get to his cell. That would mean arriving in the small hourss of the morning if the attack is at dawn. Or we arrive earlier and put off visiting until dawn. The longer we are there, the more chance there is that we will be discovered. But the closer our arrival is to the time of the assault, the more like it is they will draw a connection."

Hiitar looks to the others to see what they have to say.

'"I am also not sure taking Davekis's grimoire in with us is a great idea. Some wands and potions would be acceptable. Some robes to dress him in we need. But Davekis obviously didn't want his grimoire to fall into the hands of the Dominion, or he would have taken it with him."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"That timing is probably best. For stealth, the attack would need to come first, for deception, after. I am still highly doubtful as to the possible validity of the bluff, but in order for it to work, we need to wait on the attack. I can, of course, send a signal at any distance between all involved, Alharra willing, to begin the assault."

Haedyn, Male Lowlander Spirit Adept

“Well Davekis won’t have time to read his book anyway, once all the commotion starts, but I’m sure he’ll want it once we get him out. So why don’t we leave it with Galan,” Haedyn interjects.
