Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deuce Traveler" data-source="post: 4393789" data-attributes="member: 34958">A small congregation gathers and forms a strange adhoc council of war.  Silgaan brings a stumbling Silas Generwine, while Silas the abjurer is happy to meet Kel once more.  Others join the group.  Altogether, there are Silas the human, Silas the elf, Silgaan, Kel, Commander Sassarius, Kyle Radnal, Cal Dorin, Caramip, Dartis, Phly Loughphray, and Lender Bermax.There were others left behind.  Alexander is taking care of the sick and dying Syra Dorin back in New Dorinth.  Barok left to track down Rix and his band of kobold rogues somewhere to the northwest.  He hopes to rejoin the group with a couple dozen of extra blades.  Danica, Chalik, Ventus, and Connavar have all stayed back either because of savage stages of the illness or to take care of the town.  Nikolos is with the army along with Heron Silvertongue, as they take care of the sick men.Dartis' cavalry contains 50 horse and Caramip, but there are over 150 Dorinthian infantry in the field led by Kyle and Silas.  Cal is in overall command of the Dorinthians.  The dwarves have brought 100 axe-men, while the gnomes have 40 members of light infantry wielding picks and another 30 with crossbows.  Three illusionists lead them, along with a quiet Phly.  The rebellious elves have mostly been defeated, but there are 20 longbow archers and 30 swordsman still willing to fight.  Silgaan is a talented wizard, but the fight seems to be out of the rest.  The Tallione Imperials have rushed forward with those that were still fully healthy.  They left many behind in this forced march, but they have 300 arrogant legionnaires and 30 cavalry led by Sassarius.  The enemy elves most likely number 500 men in chain mail and carrying either swords or bows, so the battle favors the allies.  However, it is acknowledged that there are unknown magical powers at the command of the defenders which may make your invasion difficult.Then there are the trust issues...The group of you stare for quite some time until Cal looks at Sassarius and says, "So... we should discuss our supplies and way of march."Sassarius raises an eyebrow and says bemusedly, "I suppose now is the time to discuss allocating our forces..."Finally it is Lender who breaks the tension with a whirlwind, "If you think that for one instant I'll allow my men to guard the flank of this bastard you've got another thing coming!"Sassarius struggles with his composure as he says tightly, "Afraid we'll show you up, short one?  Or would you rather guard the flank of the so-called elven rebels who up until now were for genocide?"The rest of the dialogue goes equally as poor and accusations fly loose, fast, and free.  The true challenge may not be in the battle ahead, but in keeping the forces under your control intact.  Never did a day and a half march seem so long.</blockquote>
