The Orc gives the willowy elf a respectful nod at his return. While Mugthar speaks he makes no attempt to hide appraisive eyes that study the elf before him, a look of satisfaction emergeces as he has found whatever his eyes sought.
"If T'Char's hangs in balance all more reason make haste. Agreed any means combating foe must be found; Shallowmoore you up for task inquiring who capable of such research? Willing take lead such front? Need someone keep track of who study what, keep track results, make sure efforts spent properly. You close T'Char, orginized, good with words, think well suited for role."
He pauses momentarilly silently considering
"Will speak Rakoos of what ask. Training of warriors young vital task, trust few such role. I skilled in ways of war; strength of arms, use of blade, strategy of battle. Will help personally train those in need as well, have my word."
When Shallowmoore mentions "The Kingsmen" Mugthar's serious but calm expression twists to one of contempt
"King corrupt dog, little more. Once Kyranthia land united for purpose, that purpose lost; replaced with corrupt nobles with hearts filled with greed. My people suffer under his rule, as do many others. Goblins of Tog live in despair; Hobgoblins kept behind wall like beasts, Orc tribes forced live as savages forced raid survive, Wiltshire's chief wastes people's strength away like disease that plauge them, and the King does nothing. King's noble ancestory united Kyranthia defeat Shadowlord, King close Temple of Light over taxes. No have no respect for King, he not help, we on our own..."
Mugthar's voice lowers as he talks, unusual for the Orc as he has raged in the past; he displays a cold passion and his bitterness is deeper than ever demonstrated before.
"Not enough us make effective patrols, if stand together however think if simply respond threats as needed; be more than enough. When faced with foes too mighty to best seek help from rest of us, not speak for others, but Mugthar will always heed such call"

"The Elf brings up a salient point. We should focus more intently on researching the threat before us as opposed to allocating as much time as we have on our own personal endeavors."
Ciro shifts slightly, realizing immediately that implying that a few of those present among the makeshift consortium had not been exacting or stringent in their efforts was a broad-stroke. Mostly, he feared Mug'Thar's response to such a suggestion.
"...of course, I can only speak for myself and Vallon. We would certainly agree to share any knowledge we have which would lend itself to a more hasty defeat of the Lich, as well relieving T'Char of his... ailment. In fact, along with agreeing to concentrate our efforts on it, we think the town should organize a public forum in which those among us who have knowledge regarding that subject could openly disperse it to the town, and discuss it in a civil setting. In theory, such a discussion group would not be limited to discussion of the Lich, but would also be open-ended in the sense that any knowledge you've garnered that you feel is beneficial for the town to have could be shared."
"As for a locally organized Guard, I don't see it as a necessity. However, I like the idea of having a bell or something of that nature in town to alert those nearby to incoming threats."

The temple of Light is just a building to gather in, it is our faith in The Light that drives the shadow back. I have been praying for wisdom and patience for both are required down the path our community is traveling. I will tell you any information I believe is important but to many trails of thought just result in rumor and speculation. Gideon the Enemy has been able to infuse himself with shadow making him not only immune to normal attacks but also to light based attacks. I haven’t attacked him with the holy sword but I suspect without unlocking its power it will be just as futile. Gideon is breaking down the seals containing the Shadow Lord his purpose is to free his master. The Maggot Priest also known as the Plague bearers which we encountered a few moons ago were still in the area before the undead army amassed. They are the only beings I’ve seen that have had any effect on curing the plague and it’s at a terrifying cost. They draw the plague into their bodies to give them power. They most definitely don’t follow the path of light but have another divine source that they draw from. The Light is the one true God of the realm but many more seem deities have been cropping up recently. These despicable diseased creatures call there master Murzul.

"Gideon not hurt even Light? Not bode well, need find means slay treacherious worm. More immediate problem though is what in front of us in form of Lich and Dark Fae, Gideon have wait. If trapped by Lich can't stop Gideon anyways."
"I never hear gods other Light and Shadow until come here Valdarin's Gate, now seems hear of more and more. Why? Why suddenly hearing many gods, why never heard of before? T'Char often speaks godess Lyanna godess of magic. Plague Priests have thier Murzul draw power from, saw them in temple of Light they unfazed sanctity of temple. Defiled at their leisure, Moroth I unable stop them. Found other references Gods as well several named, Moroth can speak more when he return. Anyone else know of other Dieties? Mak'ton you say Light only true god, that mean Church not approve other dieties? Should Valdarin's Gate not tolerate such worship?"

Not to undercut good Mak'ton's faith, but I think it might be foolish to ignore the possibility of other good dieties. If our enemies have more than one source of power then we should not be hasty to overlook options that would give us an advantage. Although the light may be the only one to help us directly against the Shadow and his denizens, there may be others, such as Lyanna, that could give us the edge against the Lich.

About the Idea of having a guard see our Viscounts post about it. He plans to announce some kind of war master who will have something like 8 appointed guardsman. Im sure those 8 will work as a backbone of a militia when we need to get down to business. As far as patrols we should all do them when we can. I frequently patrol the road to the shore and the farms on my free time.

Ahh, yes. Thank you for reminding me Captain Citanul, I had forgotten about that. I think that you serve a wonderful example to the community by making patrols. I had thought that giving patrols the ability to make clear signals to the rest of the to town, be it through a horn or drum or some other method, would be a good idea albeit dangerous. That is why I recommended patrolling in groups for all but the most seasoned of fighters.
*Claps Citanul on the shoulder with a grin*
Not that you need my thanks, but I do thank you for your service to the town. It is admirable indeed.
*Turning back to Mugthar*
To return to another subject... from what I understand of the Fey, even the Dark Fey, they are precocious lot, lending themselves to games mischievousness, and folly. It is my firm belief that if we provide them a better form of entertainment, they may set their sights on someone, or something else. They are far more likely to be persuaded by words than the lich and his goons. But in the same breath their words cannot be trusted. I don't pretend to have a firm grasp on what it would take to convince them, but it's a start I think. That being said, we can't abandon the possibility that research and digging for information might yield a method to harming the Dark Fey with the blade of the Gyran order.

Mugthar frowns as he responds his distaste apparent.
"Hmmmm Not fond speach to best foes, but as said, swords no use here. Must do what can, if that means clever words are weapons, so be it. Do what think best, situation one, not know how deal with, look to others answers. What kind games think work? Idea worthy subject have researched?"
The Orc shrugs his plate clad shoulders and he looks back and forth between Citanul and Shallowmoore.
"Not think need patrols... most who dwell here capible of standing true and fight, very few helpless or weak. Even strongest finds fight cannot win tis true, but whenether drum, horn, clatter of battle, or calls for aid; others hear, help will come. Think waste effort orginize further."

The word entertainment comes to mind. Sebastian gets a smile on his face and seems like he stares out in outer space for a second, almost like Ril'l does. He uses this opportunity to shamelessly promote his events, hoping for extra coin. He isn't the kind to cause trouble or have something bad to happen to make money off a misfortune. Rather, he sees this as the perfect time not just to reunite the whole town again but maybe this is a plan that will work against the dark fae and there might be the off chance he could line the pockets of Copperware, Segora and himself all at once.
"We are hosting a hunt to collect hidden eggs around town next moon. There will be prizes for everyone including a big prize for the winner of the hunt. Also in addition, if enough performers and entertainers apply, we will have shows at the Tea Weevil. Of course, maybe this will draw the undesired attention of those few individuals. We may catch them at their worst moment. It could be possible to end this martial law that has been shadowing our town for some time now."
He pauses and awaits responses.

"Sabastian... not listen words before, listen now. You make assumptions, with no facts. Dangerous, not wise. If heard Fae said they want come, or find way learn Fae might come; then make plans around hunt. Otherwise, not include in any plan as no reason to. Even if Dark Fae do come, what then? How that their worst moment?! Sabastian's eggs leave them vulnernable to our blades? Nothing change, still can't defeat them! Only difference we fight and spill our life-blood on T-Weavil floor. You jumping conclusions based off nothing. Until find reason suspect helpful, not time talk about foolish paleskins hiding eggs."

"No, no. I was playing on what Shallowmoore said. He said the dark fae are mischievous. Also that they are persuaded with words far better than that of which the lich told them. Think about it for second. They did ask who your champion of the town was right? They were asking, you could have said anything at that point and they would have believed it. They made you fight after all in an honorable duel but they sure listened to you after you told them off about not killing the previous champion. Do you understand what I am getting at Mugthar? I am not trying to insult you or berate you. They listened to us after some force and reason. But their sole reason was to find the "champion". So now what if they are just begging to entertain themselves and perhaps a hunt or a festival of some sort will draw them back. I didn't say maybe either, I said will. That will get their attention."
"Look, I'm probably only going to be able to draw their attention here, I have no sound way of defeating them. I mean I could try to poison them but I won't do that because I respect your code of honor. Quite honestly, I don't think anyone in town has a way of defeating them until Moroth and T'Char get back. Lets just wait and we will unfold a last minute plan when they return. Sound like something we should do? I mean, in all honesty, they are probably the master planners of course including Captain Citanul as well."

How many people didn't give them gifts I wonder, they seemed appreciative when I gave them candy. This may be a stupid idea, but maybe we could appease them for awhile with some kind of gift, I would be happy to put some of my finest craftmanship if it would do any good. We don't know their ways but perhaps that certain townsfolk snubbed them hurt their pride, by giving them an offering and telling them how much we respect them it might appease them for awhile and buy us some time. I have no idea if this would work just thinking aloud here.

I doubt that the actions of the Dark Fae nobles were based on petty grievances with our tributes. Why bend the knee and give offerings? To me, they seemed more indifferent than aggressive. Let them be for now.

Mugthar looks at the picture left by the blue haired elf clearly unimpressed with it's meaning.
"They threaten kill Richard when I not bow before them, openly serve Lich, tyrants all. Some less hostile than Dark Fae Nobles, but all Dark Fae enemy for they serve ones who threaten us. Freinds with Ryl, Bilge, matters not. Servent of my enemy is my enemy, until prove otherwise."
The orc pauses for a moment his eyes light up in recollection
"This good, makes remember. DID hurt some of them... not Dark Fae Nobles but the lesser Fae were harmed in battle. When confronted one called Aremis, he show true fear of my wrath, when tell him I attack he fled... why flee if I not hurt him? Means lesser Fae can be fought, and sucessfully. Only Nobles out of reach for now."
