[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 4807244, member: 7006"] The men and women all come forward one at a time and give their names to the scribes, who take them down quickly and efficiently. These sheets gets passed on to Maul and Forgeheart, who move around to the far side of the dais and begin setting up organizations and plans. What is interesting to many folks is that not only are there singles and paired volunteers, but also several full adventuring parties and mercenary companies, giving their services at a whole. A group known to many in Overlook called the Farstriders stands off to one side, obviously held in a different status than most of the ragtag volunteers. Occasionally, as Forgeheart comes back around the dais to get more names, the Farstrider leader, a mercenary captain named Edgar Sommerfield, steps up to speak to the priest and militia captain. Numerous times you can see Sommerfield speak intently (if not angrily) to the captain, and even one time go so far as mount the steps of the dais to speak to Elder Cadrick himself. Cadrick responds to Sommerfield's incessant tones with a placating nod and gesture, and finally Sommerfield returns to his group satisfied. Another few hours go by, with all volunteers allowed to come and go to grab meals or rests as they see fit. Planning and organization on this kind of scale, involving people without necessarily formal military training, is not something that they rush into. However, finally, several hours into everything, Elder Cadrick meets with Forgeheart, Maul, and several other military men, women, and the others in the council. Cadrick is shown a large parchment, a quick discussion is made, and the elder nods and then strides back up to the top of the dais. He raises his hand for notification, and many volunteers rush back into High Hall from where they had wandered off elsewhere.
