First, I think Suchet needs to be the one to present the "deal" we decide upon to the Duchess as I think she is our most charismatic negotiator ... we should check our Diplomacy skills to verify.There is no way we can allow these people to fly Mithguard ... it would only result in another flying fortress in the hands of Mottul. I think we would all agree that Mithguard would be in the hands of Mottul were it not for our actions. They didn't even know they were in trouble whereas we came from "halfway across the world" to save them (and just in time). I'm fairly certain the Duchess would not like to see more huge, old dragons at the heads of undead armies heading her way which will very likely be the case should she try to fly Mithguard. We need to make this point very clear to her ... we shouldn't embarass her or her duchy, but we should sound her out on how willing she is to go "toe-to-toe" w/ the armies of Mottul making it quite clear that the king was unable to withstand such an assault.Also, not wanting to underestimate or undervalue the work of the Duchess and Severus in discovering these ancient secrets, we should be willing to make sure that they are greatly rewarded for their efforts. The ransom for a dragon such as Acrilug will no doubt be huge and we should allow her to keep all of it. Also, I don't think there's any loot that jumps out as stuff we have to have. So, it seems we could use the loot to sweeten the deal if necessary.If the Duchess recognizes the soundness of these arguments (she gets lots of money at the risk of very little threat from Mottul), we need to decide what to do w/ the control rods and mercury. My suggestion would be to take them to Castelleon and determine how much more mercury we would need to fly a more substantial fortress ... one that may more easily be able to deal w/ the forces of Mottul (for starters it has Leonus as it's steward as compared to Severus).How does everyone feel about such a plan?Princep</blockquote>
