My steps are filled with a spirit of urgency and in moments I am back where I started. "What is it Fadran?" My voice remains calm despite the urgent energy within. “You guys are throwing together a force of magical soldiers, right?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than myself, Vale, and Chrysler it would seem that our group of warders and fox dealers possesses no magic users." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re situated in a valley, and Wyrn probably has guards all over the mountains. We can’t move our armies outside a five-mile circle of land without getting buried under a rain of arrows. If we could take some mountains, though, we could start spreading our forces and pressing advantages. The problem, though, is that we can’t take a mountain by a regular military force.

There were basically no places through which they could move their troops. They’d have to take a region if they ever wanted to possibly flank the castle... but that would be costly, and they didn’t have the resources to launch a full-scale invasion on a mountain. Unless...

They are likely going to try and leave as soon as they can. The fox seems to be tearing through this land. it seems unlikely that they will wait to take it on. Can you instead of holding them back completely perhaps put stumbling blocks in their way? Could you make it so that attempts to leave by magical means would require them to expend greater power? If they try by physical means could you do the same thing. Forcing them to weaken themselves is the next best thing to setting up a full ward." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A substance that annihilates normal matter, and causes pain to living matter. Dyrlings are varied, but pain is universal. For construction, armored plating is your best bet. Your frail form will not be able to withstand many attacks without assistance. For jurisdiction, telekinesis. One of the most versatile offensive options, and useful for enemies that are hard to get close to. For perception, you may as well choose darkvision- it will help you better work with other Myrkaal. And finally, for augmentation..." He slid the blade across his skin once more.
