((Make a topic yourself.
))The agent cleared his throat to draw attention to himself. He raised his hand to show an ornate bone signet ring with several different symbols carved into it. Jarlson seemed to take the hint and showed his own. They were identical except for one of the symbols which made each unique. Most notable was the Thaendil symbol, repeated and in a larger size. "These can only be given, not taken," the agent said. "Made from wyvern bone, which by law becomes property of the ruling bloodline upon discovery." |

((You are the one who actually makes stuff difficult here, despite me agreeing to play this with you... )) Karte did not need to look for long at the signs before nodding, "They are real enough." Then he gestured towards the chairs, "Now, I believe you're not interested in wasting time so let's get straight to business. Have a seat?" |

"Thank you," Jarlson said, and both sat down. "I suppose a more detailed explanation is in order. Do you know of the Shattered Sword?" |

Karte nodded, "We know of them around these parts yes. Not much trouble with them though, they are worse further east." |

"Apparently worse than we had imagined. They are responsible for Endral's fall, and they are the ones who are in control there now. The militia and city guard are no more." |

"Rumours about Endral has reached us," Karte nodded. "So this is what's happened. What do you plan to do? Brute force?" |

"Brute force is unlikely to work inside a city of civilians, with so many places to hide. I think it will be more difficult than that to uproot their hold on the city. We will need to outwit them and outmatch them at their own game before they will try to fight us properly, but at the moment we do not have the strength to defeat them when the time for real battle comes, or to defend ourselves as we move through the city." The agent added in a quiet tone "We have to distinguish between civilians and enemies. As it stands, they do not, nor will it be difficult for them. Until we secure ourselves in the city, we may face many ambushes and attacks of similar nature." Jarlson nodded. "We want to answer that with levelled crossbows, strong swordarms and sheer defiance the likes of which will turn them all back to the shadows, where they belong. Our plan of action may not be based on brute force, but without it at our side, our plan of action will fail before it has a chance to begin." |

Karte nodded and smiled, "I presume you want our aid fort the brute force." |

"Not yet. But I do not believe they have anyone within our ranks, certainly not high up at least." |

Karte stroke his beard, "But why do you think they decided to do this now then?" he asked with a frown. |

"Perhaps they have been building up their strength until they felt they were powerful enough, or perhaps they thought that we would be too focused on the south, or too weakened by the White Realm, to retaliate," Jarlson said. "At least, I hope that is the case, because they could alternatively have allied themselves with the Defiled Kingdom or with Rathor and be attacking for that reason." |

"But what do they hope to achieve then?" Karte responded. "They can't hold the city for long nonetheless, and will probably just return to hide among the civilians again." |

"No it makes no sense," Karte said. "They do not earn anything from that. They will loose everything they conquer in the short end." He looked to the tablet, studying the wood then his head rose again. "Where is Elandir? Will he participate in the operation?" |

"No. Elandir specifically left captain Amakiir with the responsibility of this problem. That means he must either be busy, too far away, or both. We have his army at the ready but we cannot expect any help from him." |

"We have no choice," Jarlson responded with a sigh. "The evacuees are going that way, along with the relics of the tower." |

"Past Endral?" Karte asked with surprised. "They should come to Daulinen. If there's one place that is to be safe in these times it's the Dwarven realm." |
