Ziebach slouched forward, one arm resting on the table and propping up his face. His expression was sour, but that wasn't any indicator of his mood. Many of the mans habits had been inherited from his dwarven foster parents, among them a resting stone face that always looked just slightly put off. At current he was trying to ignore the chronic rattling of bones as the necromancer overdid it and summoned a horde of skeletons to deliver him tea and focus on the most interesting thing in the room. Typically it was Ada and whatever mad idea she had about crafting her man of metal. He tried to follow along with whatever she was talking about, but it was proving difficult. Ziebach considered himself something of a genius, but though he would never admit to it whenever that woman started to get into "neural-networks" and "programming" the whole lecture started to go completely over his head. He wondered if she was truly that much farther above him in terms of artificer theory or if he could only parse what she said as nonsense because she was, in fact, off her rocker and talking nonsense. He gave it 50-50 odds. The others began to gather in short order, the first of them being Galeini the GREAT, who just appeared beside him somehow out of nowhere. Ziebach sat up straight in surprise at the mans appearance, awkwardly joining him in his applause. "Uh, yeah. Brava. Very stimulating as always." He said, sounding bored without meaning to. Thank you, again, stoic dwarven upbringing. It seemed the meeting was getting underway now, the Druid taking charge and asking what their plan was for the systems of alliances that was springing up among the good nations of the world. "You worried about that, nature girl?" He said dismissal. "This is simple; you find the biggest opportunist among the current crop of rulers, someone with a huge chip on their shoulder, and you arm them to the teeth. Gibe them a bunch of skeletons while we're at it." He glanced over as the Necromancer's servants still tying to offer him a oceans worth of refreshments. "We got enough. Then while they're all busy with their precious alliances pulling them into a spiral of war we loot the place blind in the chaos."
