[quote=@13org] [color=f26522]"Aren't you worried about what will happen after the duel? If we kill their commander, the others may get out of control, and losing is not an option if we want to stay alive."[/color] [color=f26522]"You still haven't told me your name, colored man."[/color] she said, looking to Stefano. [color=f26522]"I'm Aimée, but everyone calls me Lala."[/color] [color=f26522]"I was going to your camp to hear stories about battles and what happened with the blackstone fortress. Although i may be too early to hear stories about the battle, and instead ended up participating in it."[/color] she said, sticking her tongue out playfully. [color=f26522]"Anyways, I know you said that it would be a duel, but i want to celebrate and have a big party after this. Any plan in mind if things start to go bad?"[/color] she asked, getting the ring blade and reflecting the sunlight in the orc commander's face, hoping to help their champion. [color=f26522]"It might be a good idea to call all our allies to discuss a plan while the orcs are entertained with the duel though." [/color] She said, whistling to call the others nearby. [color=f26522]"We should be near our allies. Especially due to the fact that the enemy greatly outnumber us."[/color] she said, still concentrating in using her ring blade to reflect the sunlight on the orc commander's eyes. [/quote] Stefano answered her second question first, [color=fff200]"I am Stefano Di Lucca, and I am honored to make the acquaintance of one such as yourself Miss Lala. But on to business, your very right. The key to a successful hunt is understanding your prey." [/color] he said studying Carthurg and his cheering horde. [color=fff200]"These savages outpower us and are fresh as a daisy, yet if our dear commander can triumph the orc may be cowed into retreating. Yes..." [/color] he stroked his chin in concentration, [color=fff200]"Yet Silas cannot simple win. He must dominate Carthurg, humiliate him! Yet above all else Carthurg must not survive the duel and the orcs must not suspect treachery. Otherwise they will cut us down regardless. If Silas is doomed I will shoot down Carthurg. I trust your swiftness will have no trouble navigating this crowd. If he still lives I need you to retrieve him. The only thing that could hurt the mens morale more then seeing their commander lose is watching him get cut down. Now we need someone to hold the orcs at bay if things go wrong while the rest of us retreat to go wrong..." [/color] He scanned the crowd and his eyes settled on a knight in full battle armor. [color=fff200]"There! the knight, the men should know to trust a figure like that! Now we also need someone to watch our retreating forces. How about..."[/color] He scanned the crowd until he settled on two women, one wearing a strange fox mask, [color=fff200]"Those two! I saw them go to the commanders unit. The men will associate them with leadership."[/color] at this Stefano pulled paper from his pocket and wrote a letter to the women for Drusilla to carry. [color=fff200]"Miss Lala would you mind carrying our plan to that knight? In my experience men of honor find me... displeasing." [/color] he asked the dancer, [color=fff200]"Unless you have a better plan? I'm making this up as I go along and am of course planning for failure."[/color] [hider=Letter to Odessa/Sonya] [color=fff200]Salutations ladies! A fine day for a duel is it not? While I have full confidence in our commanders success we must have an escape plan should the Orcs find the outcome dissatisfying. I need the two of you to lead the younger less experienced men in a retreat while the rest cover you. Don't worry about the commander. We have him covered. -Stefano Di Lucca- [/color] [/hider] [@13org] [@Lyla] [@SimpleD] [@KaiserFranz]
