There should be a record of the established hierarchy in the command tent." "Thanks, sir... again, I'm sorry I had to put you in this position." Fadran looked around the camp; it was so small. "You had four companies?" Quote Ah, okay. I'll just pretend Fadran said Major General and call it a day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Just checked, and apparently we don't know any last names(if they have any) from Elantris to give me examples, so we're going first name basis only. "Yes, sir. We took down a lot of the tents after most of the others decided to attack Wyrn's castle without General Daolan." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?" "As far as I can tell, just one disaster after another. Herate wanted us to help her with a revolution here, but now apparently she's given herself up. If we're still planning a revolution, this is as bad as that time on Syderon." Chrysler shoots him a look. "We won on Syderon" "We had Deren on Syderon" "Am I not as good as Deren?"

She didn't seem like the type to just willingly give herself up without a good way out, but I guess looks can be deceiving." Andante looked around. "This isn't as many people as I'd imagined."

"I don't know." The words are far harder to get out then they should be. He's supposed to know how to deal with this sort of thing. "I'm an okay strategist," he offers. He's never going to get free of the YTP. They really did take his mind. He can't tell these people, never. They cannot know about those years. "This is very different from wars where I'm from," he settles on. "So I need to know more." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
