“Sufficient for whom? And you never answered my question. Does Wyrn know about this?”

"Sufficient to fight the invader, of course. And yes."

The Fellowship of the Thing returned to the camp. Countless soldiers looked up at them, eyes scanning for their generals.

Neither were to be found, however.

"Who's in charge here?" Fadran asks.

[Condensation she/her]

One of the soldiers stepped forward. "Begging your pardon, sir, but most of the high-ranking soldiers went against Daolan's orders and are now in Wyrn's possession. I'm one of the highest that's left, and I've only ever led a company."

"Soldier, do you think that it's better to slowly peel off a bandage, or rip it off in one fell swoop?"

"Rip it off, sir. It might hurt more, but it won't hurt as long."

[Channelknight Fadran]

Just now, Ookla the Grammatical said:

"Rip it off, sir. It might hurt more, but it won't hurt as long."

"Right, then. I won't hesitate." Fadran cleared his throat. "Wyrn has several unique individuals on his side; one of which had the ultimate choice of life or death over you general Daolan. To spare his life, Herate has given herself to Wyrn." He looked around. "She left me in charge, unfortunately."

"The Council help us all" Vale mutters. Chrysler just looks dumbstruck.

The soldiers had mixed reactions to this, varied between utter despondency and standing up taller. The soldier who had spoken before squared his shoulders. "I - We would be honored to serve under you, sir."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Rien skidded around the corner, blinking sleep from his eyes in the light of dawn.

"What's going on?" he asked, stifling a yawn. "Does anyone know where Daolan is?"

[Condensation she/her]

Andante spun. "Daolan? He was the one in the cell, right?"

"And how do you intend to enhance me?"

Psyder stretched out his hand. A small, translucent figure hissed at Herate from the palm.

"With a withergeist bond, of course," he stated.

 

[Condensation she/her]

Herate gasped and drew back slightly at the sight, then examined it closer. "What does it do?"

"Andante! Glad you're all right!" Chrysler calls.

"This your newest protégé?"

"In a matter of speaking. We didn't get to do much protégé-ing"

"It gives power," said Psyder. He extended his hand. "A concept with which you seem quite familiar with, given your reported tendency to collect magics."

"Oh, hey Chrysler! Who's this?" Andante smiled at the unfamiliar person.

"I don't collect magics. I just like to know how things work in places different from Sel. And... you said you bond it? Interesting."

Fadran sighed. "I was hoping that I wouldn't have to lead another war. What's your name and rank?"

"This is Stephen Vale. He's grumpy but he's also kind of like my manager so he gets a pass."

Vale snorts but cracks a smile.

"So, kid. What were you all up to without me?"

"Well, now you're Marshal Kailer, of... uh, how many Companies do you guys have? Maybe I should've familiarized myself with how this army's organized before I took the reigns..."

"It's nice to meet you, Mister Vale. We met and then all went to go rescue someone's lab from a monster, but this kid was controlling the monsters so we came here to get help. What's been going on here?"

Thanks.

Here's mine: Army - General(s)
Corps - Lieutenant General, 5-6 divisions
Division - Major General, 3-4 brigades
Brigade - Colonel, 3-4 companies
Company - Captain, 3-5 platoons
Platoon - Lieutenant, 2-4 squads
Squad - Sergeant, 9-10 soldiers

"We have - or had - four companies, sir. There should be a record of the established hierarchy in the command tent."
