Forcellia, or at least the part of it that contained the clearing in which the group now found themselves, wasn't exactly welcoming. The ground was little more than rocky soil, the sky violet-grey and overcast. Here, it was evidently late afternoon, edging into evening. It was slightly humid, as if from a recent rain; faint clouds of steamy mist seemed to curl off the ground, partially obscuring their view of their surroundings. Scraggly trees rose up out of this mist here and there, as if grasping towards fresher air.

The villagers in the area had supposedly been contacted ahead of time, and this had been the place they’d agreed to meet the crew. Whether or not they knew anything about this supposed Scepter of Domination, however, was not yet clear. What the Scepter even did or how it might contribute to their struggle was even less clear.

In the distance, they might hear the occasional whinny of a horse, or the lowing of a cow carrying up to them from the distance, though it was difficult, if not impossible, to tell from which direction the sound was coming from.

well, um... DISAPPROVAL SHIELD

He raised an eyebrow. "Let me guess. You're an 'idea' person."

...actually so was Soren.

"No but we Eldar have fought wars longer than you humans have existed. When you were primates swinging in trees, we ruled the entire universe. That experience runs deep," she stated, flicking her armored finger in the process.

As long as you don't call him a dragon he's cool

Soren waved a dismissive hand at her words. "Yes, yes, and I'm sure you're the almighty rulers of the universe still. But there's only one of you here."

A massive frown. "Either way, my specialty is deep-striking hit-and-run strategies. That and silent infiltration and ambush but that is not the equipment I have on hand. But I can make plans regarding that."

"Oh?" asked Soren. "And what are these plans?"

He had a dim view of basing his entire strategy around one person unless that person was Ike. He preferred basing his entire strategy around ten to fifteen people.

Hmph. "Give me a scenario, my options, and my resources and I will make a plan."

Soren was about to make a smart remark about how any moron could make a plan if they knew all the battle variables, but he didn't! He was being good! Ike would be so proud.

"I have no doubt you'll have your scenario soon. We shall see about our resources."

"Is that all then?"

"It is." With a curt nod, he left her to come up with her dumb plans.
