Planting the seeds... [Open to Green]

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?

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.

[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.]

[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.]
