"If that is what the council wishes and as it knows how strong our armies are in this location... Then much as I hate to say it we shall withdraw from this place, but we cannot abandon this place until every last citizen has been evacuated."

*Weary from all that has gone on slumps down into his seat*

"Lady Alicia sound the order to evacuate and lead the troops and the magicians to the Poroda, Zantir evacuate whomever is left in the palace and take them to Torious send word that we will need reinforcements to retake Imardin"

*A shroud of darkness falls over the high lord and he settles into the darkness*

"My Lord... If I may ask. Were are we to go?" Sarah asked as she looked at him. "Were shall we go to stand up and fight this army?"

we shall go to poroda for the battle as the high lord instructed

Everyone ready yourselves.
we leave on my return

*leaves the chamber*

*Sarah nodded.*
"Alright." *She also leaves the chamber to go adnd perpare.*

Aye sir I will evacuate the palace although I don't know where Lady Elandra is

*Zantir leaves*

*bows to the High Lord before turning and leaving the chamber*

*walks into the chamber followed by melcar and weights for everyone to turn up*

*walks in*

*Walks back in.*

*Walks in, with his sword's sheath empty. Bows to the council members who are present, and stands at attention*

*returns to the council chambers*

right i think i have weighted long enough
I want each mage here to listen closely and pass the word to those who will follow

We head for poroda by the road,
I must insist no mounts please, lets keep our fall back position clear just in case we need to use it I want archers and healers at the back
swords at the front, offensive casters stay to the middle of the group
all of you are responsiable for your own lives, but if you see a fellow in trouble help if you can, but not if it puts you at risk
I will help to the best of my skills but i am only one person.
If you kill any un-dead get the closest mage to you that knows a fire spell to use it on the corpse, I cannot stress enough we do not want to swell enemy numbers by giving them more troops
I do not doubt they have necromancers on there side!

When do we move for Poroda? Do we have time to arm ourselves fully, or are we to travel light?

grab whatever arms you can
I have been telling you to prepare for some time
those who have not taken heed of my warnings,
must face there own folly on the field

"So I'm guess we will be leaving as so as everyone arrives then?"

I meant more along the lines of provisions...

<<>>


... Should we carry just what we'll need for a short hike, or will there be provisions brought to the line of fighting, what sort of terrain will it be on...

<<>>

take any weaponry and offensive spells you can carry without over burdening yourself.
poroda is fairly flat, but has a tendency to be marsh or swamp so please no heavy armour we cannot afford the time digging people out of mud....

And yet, at the same time, enough armour to stand in a battle... Okay. I'll go get kitted out. Be back shortly. *bows out*

Blake, or Kylen, your choice, walks into the chambers. "Elementalist Blake asking for assignment."

Welcome Elementalist...
I hope your blade is strong,
we have need of all to help in the coming campaign
