[QUOTE="Binks, post: 6677123, member: 6775039"] I stare hard at nothing for a minute, looking inside myself, my fingers absent-mindedly stroking Lucky's barely substantial fur. I want Lucky by our side during this. My eyes snap back into focus and I turn to Otthor. "If we get up the mountain as quickly as possible, we can prepare the battlefield in our favor. I can sweep the surrounding area for any animals that The Blood Queen might mutate and turn against us. It is very remote territory so there won't be much up there. Possibly a snow leopard den or a large avian predator's nest. We can trap them and displace them away from this area for the time being. If they don't cooperate, they will have to be slain unfortunately. It is a better fate than being turned into a mutated aberration and then being slain by us...or slaying us. If the dragon comes to our aid, great. If not, so be it. I like our chances here, with Lucky aiding us. What do you think, Otthor?" Before Three Bird takes all of the Coldland and World's End Refugees, I'm going to hand him a short letter that I worked up while I waited for Otthor's return. The letter is addressed to Master-At-Arms Kinsman. He is of Giliad's bloodline and is the primary authority figure of the settlement of Giliad's Rest. He sponsored our mission to investigate the absence of communication with World's End. The letter briefly describes what has happened here and why all of these refugees are pouring down from the Coldlands and into Giliad's Rest. It beseeches him to take these people in, fortify the settlement's defenses, dispatch a rider to warn all the settlements in the area, and prepare for conflict with aberrations from the Far Realm should Otthor and I fall. "When you arrive at the gates, make sure the refugee family from World's End is front and center to remove any misperception that you are an invading force. They will be familiar faces to whatever guards greet you so you should face no hostilities. Give this letter to them and bid them to give it to Master-At-Arms Kinsman. Make sure to tell them it is from Saerie Woodwalker. That will confirm the urgency of the situation. I have sent missives to Master-At-Arms Kinsman so he is familiar with my hand." I thank him for his primal evocations and bid him good luck in his difficult journey down the mountain. I do not envy him. I fear their road may prove more difficult than our own. [/QUOTE]
