Ciperel der Prad'm

"One thousand is a frightening sum for men, but a handful of sand to the stars and the ages," Ciperel says within whatever new vision he's entered.
"That said, Gahreen lies next to our path of retreat, and there's no reason those men and women shouldn't have the same choice we do: flee or fight. Send our fastest runners to the city with word of our retreat. Tell them the city's as good as fallen, but some of its people may yet live. Those who wish to join us must meet us here--" he points to a spot where the line of retreat would bring the army closest to the city. "They must know they will be pressed to service, but they will be fighting for their freedom should we succeed in our bid to retreat. Those who wish to flee on their own are welcome to, as well, though they should know they can count on no aid from a single man in our service. They will likely serve to distract some portion of the eastern forces, but that's a choice they will have made for themselves."
He looks up to the spectre then, uncertain of his choice but resigned to having made it.[/sblock]
