Nephish slithered at a moderate pace toward the largest tent in the rebel encampment as his troops busied themselves setting up their camp. It was only after entering the relatively secure location that he began to speak about the coming conflict openly.

[color=00746b]"On the off chance that you are unaware"[/color] Nephish said casually [color=00746b]"the crown have some rather nasty surprises prepared for us when the time comes that we choose to meet them on the battlefield.[/color]

Nephish's relaxed expression turned to a bitter scowl. [color=00746b]"Chief among them, aid from the elven kingdom of Asur."[/color]

Nephish sneered as the words left his jaw.

[color=00746b]"I'm certain that their reputation for martial prowess proceeds them, yes?"[/color]

Nephish returned to his more calm expression. [color=00746b]"That said, I'd like to hear if [i]we[/i] have any resources of interest I should know about."[/color]
