(yes, Xath has some vested character interest in this fact)2) The army is already armed, equipped, and south of the wall.I picture that we would give them the option of serving the Army of the Phoenix for a year, or remaining with the Bluestar.  Because of the circumstances in which they were sent over the wall, they would be more open to our accusations of the king's evil-ness, because they already know he's a dink.  Can you imagine the reaction of Caer Albion, if the Army of Prydein and the Army of the Watch came to their rescue flying the banner of the Phoenix?  Tell me that is not cool...go on...try...I dare you.  We will also want the ability to transport the troops about the kingdom, so some scrolls of Teleportation Circle should also be included in the deal.  I also think I have figured out a way for the Bluestar to travel south of the wall without us having to take down the wall.  If this were to work, we could trade information of such a plan for what we want.  This way, he can move about the kingdom, but his undead legions would still be trapped behind the barrier.  More to come on this when I've worked out the kinks.</blockquote>
