Planting the seeds... [Open to Green]

[theshadowkissed]

Who: The Greensworn and possibly any Green Flight NPCs that feel like popping in
What: Rose has a Great Plan for the Greensworn and it's time to get the preparations going.
Where: Emerald Sanctum
When: July 1st
Warnings: no posting order - free for all

[Rose had decided that the Greensworn needed to create a presence outside of the Emerald Sanctum and had finally figured out how she wanted to handle it. So, she gathered her flightmates at the base of the rise where their great Aspect, Ysera, slumbered away. Rose wasn't expecting the dragon to bother with them, but it just seemed like the right place to have these kind of discussions. Or maybe it was that the dhampir just felt more comfortable with a great green dragon behind her as a part of her could pretend that the Dragomir Princess was there backing her words, not that Rose would amit it.]

Okay, I guess I'll start with thanking you all for actually coming. I know some of you are extremely independent or new, so again, thanks. I've been doing a lot of thinking since the Kaldorei from Sin'thalas captured several dragonsworn from other flights and something caused those of Silverglen Retreat to alter the way they saw those from our flight as a result of false accusations against Jacques.

What this has told me is that outside of this Sanctum, we have very few places where we can be safe or can work from as a more permanent base of operations against the Burning Legion. I want to change that. As Greensworn, we are representatives of those who protect the Emerald Dream. Now, I can't really tell you what the Emerald Dream actually is, but it's where she is [Rose gestured to Ysera's sleeping form up the hill] and its existence is essential for Azeroth. I also have learned that the Emerald Dream is very important to the Kaldorei. We should be able to use this to persuade some of the more... open-minded Kaldorei that we aren't their enemies.

[On a patch of dirt, Rose knelt down and drew a crude map showing where Sin'thalas, Silverglen Retreat and the elven city of Derenaar was located in relationship to them.]

This is Sin'thalas and this is Silverglen Retreat. Down here is the city Derenaar. From what we can tell, Derenaar doesn't have much in the way of defenses or military might, unlike Sin'thalas which is crawling with them. It's a city that's lively and... really, it's a hell of a lot more breathtaking than either of the other cities. These elves seem to be more artistic in nature than the others.

Now, I don't know how the elves of Derenaar feel about the dragonsworn, but this seems like a good city to extend a hand of friendship and aide to. We need some place where we can work from, a place where the elves can see we are here to defeat the Burning Legion and that we aren't the enemy. I think if we regularly contribute to the city through labor and in their defenses against the demons and any others that might cause them problems, we can win them over.

But this is going to require a lot of dedication from us and, let's be honest here. We're going to have to try to become part of this city in some way. We can't just show up, say 'Hey, let's be friends, here's some provisions' and then expect to get open access to the city whenever we want. We've gotta work for it.

So... thoughts?

[Jacques can't think of any Bronzesworn that he's met, himself. There was that one guy that had answered Rose's call during the whole thing with the Sin'thalas elves, but the hunter hadn't spoken to him either.

He has to agree that of the Greensworn, he's had no problems with any of those that have been brought to join them, and he's rather glad of that.]

[hectorcantgofast]

Regardless, I plan on finding out who did it, now that I know about it. You can't let people walk all over you like that. And even if you're okay with it, I'm certainly not going to let it happen.

[Because Lyn can be a bit vengeful. Especially when it comes to comrades and pals.]

[heartstorage]

[He frowns a little. he can see the logic, even if he doesn't like it] I guess so. But if it was a Bronze, it had to been one that did it without the others knowledge. I know she would've told me.

[He trusts Namine. Sure, he doesn't agree with everything she did, but he knows that she'd never allow something like this to happen]

I wanna find out who it was too. We can't just let them think they can play around with people like that.

[ninjacques]

[The hunter shifts his gaze away, perhaps almost thoughtfully. He can hear Hawk shift a little on the branch of the tree above him, but rather than look, he flicks a glance at the others, watching them, their expressions.

His eyes pause on Rose, but he looks towards the ground again thereafter. Talk of vengeance is exactly why the others that had been accused falsely had decided not to make it known whom they found to be the guilty party. The real threat couldn't be forgotten in all of this- they'd all been summoned to this world for one reason.]

One thing at a time, okay? Let's focus on Derenaar for the moment. Once we have that secure, we can worry about who started the rumors.

If there's one thing I know, people who spread nasty rumors eventually get their faces revealed. And if we jump and hunt down the source if every lie spread about us, we'll be too busy to do the things we need to do.

And really, we're better than that.

[heartstorage]

[He rubs his neck sheepishly. That's right, Derenaar. It was easy for Sora to get caught up in the moment sometimes, it was good to get him a leash at times.]

Haha...yeah, you're right. Derenaar and killing demons first! I'll worry about the other stuff later!

[Yep okay, focusing now on what she suggested earlier related to the demons]

So you want me to get some armor right? Is it hard to move around in? I've...never really wore it in fights before.

[hectorcantgofast]

I'm not suggesting a witch hunt. Just something to keep in mind as time goes by.

[But she was willing to leave it there. They did have other things to deal with.]

You should wear what you want. I can't really wear armor since it slows me down.

[ninjacques]

[Jacques gives the smallest nod, but he's glad that they've been steered back on track. He glances over at Sora.]

If you're not used to it, then it might just make it more dangerous to wear...

...if nothing else, at least something to protect this.

[He places a hand on his chest, over his heart.]

[theshadowkissed]

There's a bunch of different kinds of armor. Some are easier to wear than others, and it's important to find the kind that meshes with the way you fight.

[Rose shrugged a little.] I wear mail because the sword I use means I have to get up close and personal, and I'm strong and fast enough that it really doesn't hamper me. Now plate, on the other hand, feels like a metal coffin to me, so I don't wear it.

[heartstorage]

[He looks at the three, taking each of their separate advice and considering it. Considering he knows Rose has super strength- he's better mail is out for himself. In fact too much armor might hamper him since he's so used to moving without it, like Lyn. But, Jacques did have a point about the heart...]

[So he nods at all of them] I...guess it wouldn't hurt to look at different chest pieces. See if anything fits!

[Since man he sure is well over a foot smaller than most of these night-elf people]

[hectorcantgofast]

If you want to wear something but the weight is too much, you could always go with padded or studded leather. It is the bare basics.

[Part of the joys of coming from a medieval society.]

[ninjacques]

[Falling into his customary silence again, Jacques does offer one of his routine nods. He has little to add on those suggestions, and would agree with Lyn's recommendations.]
