Ellston, Donovan and Anvil... begin organizing the rest of the men, prepping them by squads and moving them out.Nevillom motions to Gerrold and then tosses his helm to the priest... who catches it awkwardly.  "Stonegaard, ir'Indari, Dael'dareen... here's how it's going to be.  I've been hunting the enemies of the Flame before you were even born." Khalia notices Dael'dareen about to open her mouth to contradict that assertion... she is an elf after all... but before she can, he continues.  "You do what I say, when I say it, and no questions.  The Flame guides us in our crusade.  The Voice tells us what we are to do.  We will heed the Voice, and all the things it makes plain... is that clear?"Gerrold and Dael'dareen immediately respond in the positive, and Stonegaard says 'uh huh' shortly after.</blockquote>
