Intrigue In Candara

[National Acrobat]

"Now," Ariel begins, again directing her eyes towards the council, "do you see what we are dealing with? Do not be so quick to judge or to suggest action until all of the facts are known. The fight needs to be taken to the enemy, not the other way around. It seems," she waves her hand towards the group, "that the Gods have destined this group for some purpose, which is now clear. The focus must be on defending our people while we try to deal with this savage artifact which plans to dominate the world. The Former Emperor's son is now it's thrall, and it is towards his freedom and the freedom of all good people that we direct our efforts." She pauses for a moment, "Father Antonio and his Lady have given Sanctuary to the Former Emperor, in the hopes that it will provide us some answers that will help us defeat this evil. You should be greatful for his wisdom in this manner. Let us hope that we can find some weakness which can be exploited."

OOC: Sorry guys, I was waiting for CS to finish his speech, and I kinda lost track of the thread... SO CS, was that all Gustaf had to say?
IC:
The head councilman glances at Ariel, nodding in agreement "ah, yes, I beleive what you say to be true. Perhaps we should send someone.. yourselves? to investigate this.. egg." He then looks at Gustaf "... And the fourth what?"

 

[National Acrobat]

"Yes," replies Ariel. "I think we had already agreed amongst ourselves that someone needed to go investigate this egg and I believe that we are in agreement that we shall be the ones to go."

Talisian steps forward (using diplomacy here if needed) Honored Sirs. I am Talisian De'Artain. Son of Hirio De'Artain Vizer to the king of the Realms of Ukko . I request we be outfited properly for this mission as the importance of our sucess determins the fate of your country. I also request humbly the use of your librarys to research this egg further. Tal will wait patiently for their reply. Spook jumps from his arms and starts rubbing up against Will's legs.

Edit: spelling

Auld sits back, content to let Finn take the lead, and listens amusedly to the discussions flying between the "Elders."

He smiles, knowing the eventual outcome of the discussions.

The discussion carries on for a long while yet.. although just rulers, the council tends to be overly cautious and likes to talk through things (Sometimes nearly to death).
In the end though, it is decided that you will be sent as agents of Candara, and will be able to use your own discretion as to what to do once you are in 'enemy' territory. Any actions taken by you that end the war prematurely will be seen as justified. You will take the former emporer with you and the council will outfit you with any (non-magical) items you need, as well as doing anything they can to help you on your journey, including allowing Tal (And any others who wish to help him) unlimmited access to the libraries.

OOC:
24 hours from this post the council meeting will end, anything else you need to ask the council ask in that time, and I'll answer it.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Tal will do heavy research into the "egg' and legends of the type.
He will also lok into posession asking the clerics for advice on how to deal with a posessed person.

Thomas asks if he could acquire a map or some information on where the enemy forces are attacking and where they are stationed. Using this with a Knowledge (war) check and with the help of the others (namely Finnegan and the Emperor), and any military peoples in the council, he will try to deduce the best point to slip into the enemy nation.

Other than that he'll try to estimate the amount of distance to be traveled, with that how many days of travel. If it is a large distance Thomas will ask if the council could supply mounts for those that need them (Abesh being in that list, Thomas has his wings).

 

[Lichtenhart]

Father Antonio will ask the council help making an antidote for the beats' poison, which could be beneficial to us and to Candara troops, offer Tal the help of his church about how to deal with possessions and asks his help finding a way to communicate with the council when we'll be in Kelt and a way to protect Wil from divinations.
"We need his advice, but it's obvious that the Eldritter is looking for him. This could jeopardize our mission. It shouldn't know we're coming until it's too late."
