[backdated to August 2nd, sunrise.]

I require several shardholders who can accompany me to Redgate within a few days. Aside from your availability, I also require that you be skilled in combat without magic and that you can take directions without raising a fuss. None of this is negotiable.

If you believe yourself to be capable of this, please respond, and we can arrange to meet.

We are to slay a dragon. To that end, choose whatever you think would be best.

[of_the_lake]

I will need three things, then.

[He added, very curtly--]

It's good I responded, then, my lady. When it comes to slaying such beasts, you may refer to me as an expert.

[erythristic]

Tell me if any of these three things I can help provide for you, my lord.

[of_the_lake]

A steel shield. If you can find anyone who's made one of tungsten, then I'll take it. Next, I'll need a steel lance--you need not have it sharpened. I can sharpen it, myself. However--the entire body of the lance must be steel.

Finally, a light wood-stock war-club. If you can provide a nail-head for the end of it, that would work, but I can still modify it quickly, myself.

[erythristic]

I'll go to the smithy and see what I can do. [if she relayed his words to the smiths directly, they would know if things were on hand rather than her having to guess.]

When can I anticipate your joining us?

[of_the_lake]

If I run, I will arrive in Caer Scima tonight.

[Which meant he should have shut up and just done that.]

[erythristic]

I look forward to getting to see you again.
