There are a number of council members who would like to see our guards raised to full militia level.  And to some extent, most of us have agreed that expansion is necessary now that Eliaesel is gone.  Others have suggested that stronger leadership is needed, with someone at the head of the council.  After all, they point out, Eliaesel was the head.  They ignore that she very rarely overruled anything the council agreed on but point out that by her very presence she probably kept away most dangers.  Gregof himself was competent and a good man, but maybe not as ambitious as some.  And perhaps, with him out of the way, someone else's agenda might be able to be enforced."  A sideways glance at Rikolai as he adds, "And there are some of us.  The minorities in this town.  That fear what a strong militia might be used to enforce."At this, Rikolai bursts out, "Your slander is what we need to fear dwarf!  Not a stronger militia."  The councilwoman sighs... "Please.  Not this endless bickering. First the incident yesterday at the well, and now this.."As Glasia mentions the well, something tickles the back of Antares' mind:[sblock=For Antares]A flash of one of the creatures crawling through the darkness comes to you.  Small body.  Large, wide head with sharp teeth.  What would it look like in daylight?  And not so pale...[/sblock]</blockquote>
