Your party has disbanded.

Ren The Conjuror: Then she lists her demands...

Ren The Conjuror: The city of Vesper is be handed to the Empire....

Ren The Conjuror: "Such simple demands, and so simply met. We await your reply".
Silverbrook: Hm.
Ren The Conjuror: Signed by Zarra, Senator Morgana, and Denator Velturasa Viaxus.
Saipher: *eyes flash*
Ren The Conjuror: That...is the extent of the message.
Silverbrook: Two lives for the sake of two others and the lives of a city....?
Silverbrook: Preposterous.
Ren The Conjuror: The Empire will receive nothing.
Ren The Conjuror: I have little more to say on the matter.
Mikhail O'Danyon: Ren, why would they want Vesper?
Tanda: *Nods*
Ren The Conjuror: Vesper is a deep water port...
Silverbrook: They wish to futher their hold...
Venus: *looks confused*
Justus: Something has to be said on the matter.. two lives are still endangered!
Ren The Conjuror: and a natural striking point, to establish a base...
Takashi Mandaka: If at first you don't succeed........
Ren The Conjuror: to expand into Britannia.
pabII: aye would be good strategy
Venus: I think I can in on a very strange conversation.
Ren The Conjuror: The Military has been aware of the absence of these two individuals for some time now...
Ren The Conjuror: We have already examined every known drow stronghold, an excursion into Nujelm...
Ren The Conjuror: the places of the underdark...the Temple of Mondain...
Ren The Conjuror: all known cities...
Ren The Conjuror: and every other conceivable location they could be held...
Ren The Conjuror: We continue the search.
Ren The Conjuror: We will not however, give into any demands, and this "Message"...
Ren The Conjuror: is an attempt to showcase for Zarra...
Ren The Conjuror: She feels better when she demonstrates how "Smart" she thinks she is...
Justus: Rather than continue a futile search, however, should we not attempt to use the demands
Justus: against the Empire? Make them come out and turn the tables?
Mikhail O'Danyon: *looks back at Justus*
Ren The Conjuror: Have we met?
Justus: Aye
Takashi Mandaka: How did this package come into the possession of Calibus?
Ailieve: I'm not giving them Ren's head....
Justus: *points*
Justus: That too!
Takashi Mandaka: Could he know more than he's letting on?
Justus: And why did he leave so quickly?
Ren The Conjuror: *Sighs*
Takashi Mandaka: *nods*
Ren The Conjuror: There are many details....
Tanda: If I might interject
Ren The Conjuror: Calibus has been...questioned.
Mike The Trainer: Please no weapons with the council room
Tanda: Drow slaves aren't given much room to act
Tanda: on their own
Tanda: accord
Takashi Mandaka: *looks to Bishimi*
Takashi Mandaka: did she just say Drow slaves?
Tanda: There are many ways to coerce someone
Bishimi: *nods*
Tanda: into compliance
Charles Doom: Thank you
Ren The Conjuror: The matter of Calibus has been examined, and continues to be looked into...
Justus: Did Calibus not wear the badge of the Yew Militia?
Ren The Conjuror: Currently he is being forced to act as a messenge, by Senator Zarra.
Ren The Conjuror: Threats have been made, specifically to important members of the community, such as Mayor Willa.
Ailieve: *blinks*
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Mikhail O'Danyon: *looks at Polynikes*
Ren The Conjuror: There may also be a magical element...in Calibus's response.
Ren The Conjuror: The military continues to examine these matters...
Ren The Conjuror: While the retrieval of my officer is of high concern, at this time...
Ren The Conjuror: Our principal objective is to ensure that Miller at least is brought safely home...
Ren The Conjuror: as he is a civilian.
Justus: Well....
Justus: Knight Superior of the Minoc Knighthood....
Justus: civilian?
Ren The Conjuror: Yes, he is.
Ren The Conjuror: He may serve within Minoc's knighthood, but he isn't part of Britannia's military.
Kayne: ok, ill be there in a second
Ren The Conjuror: This isn't meant as a slight...
Justus: *nods*
Justus: *looks at the men leaving*
Ren The Conjuror: Trust that we are doing everything we can, to see them safely home.
Justus: *nods*
Justus: Any plans forthwith save a search?
Ren The Conjuror: The Field Marshall and I have been working very closely together this past week...
Polynikes of Yew: *nods grimly*
Ren The Conjuror: Zarra is too cowardly to act on her own, or to expose herself in the open...
Ren The Conjuror: She sends messengers, assassins, etc.
Justus: Aye
Justus: *nods in agreement*
Ren The Conjuror: We have, other...
Ren The Conjuror: pieces in play, but I will not go into details at this time.
Justus: *nods*
Justus: Understood
Tanda: are there any other comments regarding this event?
Ren The Conjuror: members of the Council...
Ailieve: *tugs on her bangs*
Tanda: *looks to the Grand Marshall*
Ren The Conjuror: While it is within the authority of the Grand Marshall to continue the war as previously authorized
Mikhail O'Danyon: *eyebrow raises*
Ren The Conjuror: and to send a suitable response to the empire...
Venus: *appears to be deep in thought*
Ren The Conjuror: It is of course within the power of the council, to grant the empire Vesper...
Ren The Conjuror: I suspect this isn't the case...
Ren The Conjuror: But...
Ren The Conjuror: *Shrugs*
Ren The Conjuror: Your response to this message?
Silverbrook: Excuse me, Lord Ren...?
Ren The Conjuror: Yes?
Silverbrook: Do you actually think for a moment we would condone handing over an _entire_ city over two host
Silverbrook: What signal does that send?
Ren The Conjuror: Of course not.
Ren The Conjuror: I however, will not pretend to speak for the council.
Simon Godwyn: I think it's merely a suggestion that we formally tell them to kiss our buttocks...
Venus: I believe the Grand Marshall just was thinking you would respond with a full no.
Ren The Conjuror: So if the council is in agreement...
Ren The Conjuror: *Nods*
Mike The Trainer: Please no weapons with the council room
Mike The Trainer: Thank you
Silthanis: sorry
Silverbrook: Let her listen to a deafening silence. We do not deal with her kind so easily.
Ren The Conjuror: Very well then....
Mikhail O'Danyon: Hmmm
Ren The Conjuror: I shall arrange a suitable response, in the form of an invasion.
Silverbrook: And for the prisoners.. I trust you and your forces... whatever they have planned.
Ren The Conjuror: I shall keep the council updated as I proceed.
Silverbrook: *nods*
Polynikes of Yew: *nods in agreement*
Ren The Conjuror: Field Marshall, we shall convene sometime this week to plan for the invasion of Nujelm.
Ailieve: *tugs on her bangs again and sighs*
Ren The Conjuror: *Looks down at the lock of hair for a moment*
pabII: Gods speed to the BAF
Ren The Conjuror: *Looks up stern faced*
Mikhail O'Danyon: *looks a bit sad and depressed*
Ailieve: *sighs*
Polynikes of Yew: yes sir
Tanda: So is there a consensus
Tanda: of the Council?
Tanda: I have heard in general an opinion
Tanda: of we do not negotiate
Tanda: nor give in?
Tanda: Would that be correct?
Simon Godwyn: aye
Ailieve: *nods*
pabII: aye
Mikhail O'Danyon: Yes

Ren The Conjuror: Ailieve and I both have duties we attend to, she and I both feel, that Britannia comes first.
Ailieve: But what has this got to do with anything?
Ailieve: Please continue with the meeting.
Tanda: *Nods*
Tanda: Very well
Tanda: Then it would seem the response is none?
You see: window
Tanda: Am I correct? Or do we send a reply telling the Senator
Justus: *coughs*
Tanda: we will not comply?
Silverbrook: I say we should bide our time... ask for time.
Mikhail O'Danyon: What of the prisoners though
Ren The Conjuror: The Executive branch will move forward with our plans, to send a response.
Ailieve: That would entail sending a response, Councilor.
Mikhail O'Danyon: Silverbrook
Ren The Conjuror: It just simply won't come in the form of a letter.
Tanda: *Nods*
Silverbrook: Yes it would, Ailieve... I am not totally apathetic to two brave heroes plights.
Silverbrook: We ask for time for a response.

Venus: When I went to check on Kalan as I heard commotion...
Venus: Genghis did push me out of the way and help his partner in knocking Kalan unconcious.......
Venus: I managed to slip downstairs and hide before they came after me.
Venus: But they both ran off
Ren The Conjuror: How is Kalan? And was the prisoner not disarmed?
Venus: Genghis is now concidered high risk and should be kept in custody if arrested again.
Venus: Kalan is alright i saw to his wounds.
Venus: I believe the other brought him a weapon.
Ren The Conjuror: *Nods*
Ren The Conjuror: Not like the savages to put that much thought into things.
Ren The Conjuror: I shall alert the Knights, and I'm sure the Field Marshall shall do the same for the Militia...
Venus: Genghis is now considered a fugitive.
Ren The Conjuror: Do you have a name for the other Savage?
Venus: Should he be found and arrested he should be detained with armed guard.
Venus: And remain until his trial date.
