The village of Prumen

[Manzanita]

Solomon

Solomon eyes Telic suspiciously. "I am in the militia. I obey orders. If you're interested in helping, allow Marcus to fit you into the operation as he sees fit. He is an exceptional commander." Solomon pauses, and contemplates the situation. "You might also consider staying here. Ten men is not enough to defend this town against an attack."

Solomon resists sharing his suspicions with a relative stranger, given his paranoia about his own acceptance. He will instead approach his friend Marcus and try to get a word in. "Marcus. Perhaps a select group of us should discuss a plan. There seems more to this than meets the eye."

 

[DarkMaster]

"Looks to me like this lot will warn whatever's out there. On the other hand, a few people alone shadowing along beside it might find something. Interested?"

The half ogre still following Telic. Gives him a pat on the shoulder, his large hand covering almost half of Telic upper body, and whispers "If you need any help, you can count me in"

Jasper Conrad

As the speech concludes, Jasper looks lost. Why would we mobilize the whole town to catch a small group of attackers?

The wizards: The two soldiers, that are supposed to protect you are getting agitated at the idea of fighting, but seems confused about the strategy that will be used. They think that a small stealthy group should investigate the area first. "Bha, What the heck, as long as we keep our arms busy we are happy, we will show these snipers what we are made of." They turn toward you and say"Hope you are coming, otherwise we will have to protect the village and this is not my definition of excitement. This Marcus guy seems Ok, while he is still young he seems more talented than the other militian".

"We're not going anywhere yet. Mobilizing the whole town like this is absurd, and I'd wager that it has something to do with that box the councilor received." Jasper walks over to the source of the box, Dai. "Um, excuse me, could I talk to you for a minute?"

Marcus says to Solomon, "I agree."

He lowers his voice so that only Solomon can hear.

"I have severe doubts in this plan that the Mayor announced."

"As for the group", Marcus continues in a louder voice, "who do you have in mind?"

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon

Solomon chooses his words carefully. "Sir. An operation of this size and importance must be planned carefully. You have been given operational control, doubtless because you are the most capable of making the necessary decisions. A mark of a true leader is wise delegating of authority. Perhaps the operation should be delayed while a bit of scouting could be done. Perhaps including some non-militia personel. Logistically, providing food and organization to this endevour might be done by a beaurocrat instead of a soldier such as yourself, leaving you open to other important duties. In any event, I am at your service, of course."

 

[DarkMaster]

The councellor approaches Marcus and Solomon.
OCC He didn't hear your conversation.

"Haaa, the two I wanted to see, my friends once again the village will count on your skill for their safety. Don't worry, after that operation, I will personally recommand you to the baron. Skillfull soldiers like you shouldn't waste their time in small village. Marcus what is your plan for the operation? Also while you were investigating the fields did you find anything that could help us? I received a message this morning containing a warning that an army of evil was at the gates of the village ready to attack us."

Behind the councellor you see the mayor getting up slowly and quitting the room.

Solomon Kreel

Solomon bows slightly. He nervously contemplates the box they found in the field. (Does he still have it? I can't recall. If so, it's in his backpack.) He lets Marcus do the talking.

 

[DarkMaster]

OCC Solomon still has it.

Oculus goes with Jasper, gesturing for the soldiers to stand guard a little further back.

 

[DarkMaster]

"We're not going anywhere yet. Mobilizing the whole town like this is absurd, and I'd wager that it has something to do with that box the councilor received."

The two soldiers obviously not happy with Jasper's descision, stands back not saying a word after Oculus give them the order to do so.
