(brought to you by Liz)First Order of Business: Oath-taking.The core group needs to swear an Oath of Alliance to each other.If anyone refuses, at this point, I would say their character can go a seperate direction.  It is essential for us to have a *bond* outside of happening to fight together.  This creates a "Circle of the Phoenix" inside the Army... we become the core of that Army.Individual oaths, vows, and whatevers are completely optional and up to your character... but the Oath of Alliance is a necessity.Second order of business:  Gathering an army.This is to be done through several means:(1) A message is to be sent out to all high elves detailing The Woodshadows forgiveness... and asking them to come to our aid-- to fight for their dead hero's cause.(2) A message of conditional amnesty is to be sent out to Bluemages.In exchange for their service for an amount of time that is yet to be determined, we will offer some Bluemages (wizards) a pardon.(3) Lord Miagee doesn't have very many fighters left... but, we send a call out to the ones that remain.(4) If Arfin can swing it, and I hope he can, he sends a message to his Dwarven cousins explaining the nastiness that has befallen their race... and hopefully, they will come fight for us in order to get revenge.(5) Any other marginalized peoples within Ares need to be contacted (the Rhynns, too).(6) Fairithir and Arfin continue to train individuals as warriors.  Justice would also be willing to help here... possibly pass along some Apectan teachings... have a few low level paladins around.Third Order of Business: Protection!Our camp and the entirety of Hyrwl is pretty open to attack.I suggest that Tim's character start organizing a guard for protection of our camp...This can be done through the warriors that he is training, our group, and any animal friends we happen to have... But, it has to get done and quickly.--What's the best way to contact Tim so I can let him in on this??Fourth Order of Business: Team Sneak.Though flying in on Thane, Justice has discovered that Syvatagor (sp?) is obviously not the ring leader in Oceanus.  As such, we need to send in a covert operation to discover exactly who happens to be in charge.That's where L'Aurel and Archon come into play.  They are by far the sneakiest. (yes, they are very sneaky, sir).They get into the city though an elaborate plan including lots of magic-- take a little look around... gather some information and head back to Hyrwl to fill us in on what's up.Fifth Order of Business: Build an interconnected series of tunnels like the Viet Kong....Well... not exactly...But, we do need to gather small teams (say, between 10 and 15 people) to do a little guerilla work in Oceanus.This is a VERY risky idea... but, one that Jeremiah, the military master, had brought up... and, so long as they are well organized (read: Gong Free) I feel that such attacks could be VERY useful.Sixth Order of Business: Take Back Oceanus!!The actual plans for this are what I would consider "working plans"--they are not finished... and really, it's going to take a lot of work on everyone's behalf in order to make it a reality.But, the take back of Oceanus will, quite possibly, be the most important thing we've done so far because:(1) It will get us one of the spirit blades.(2) If we have one of the spirit blades, the king's quest to have them all is (at least for a while) thwarted.(3) We have a strong base of operations for the Army of the Phoenix.(4) We are sitting at the front door to the Isle of Mourning... which is where we'll be headed once Oceanus is ours.There is a lot more information that needs to be added... things that are being planned...</blockquote>
