Namfoodle reclined in the fine chair and listened to what had quickly turned into a heated debate. He peered at those who spoke, each making sense in a way; except the one in purple, too much insulting, too little persuasion, in Oneshoe's opinion. The undead devil-worshipping wench and the lowly pick-pocket had caught Namfoodle's interest most of all, though. He listened intently as they went on about being for and against the plan. Looking down at his staff, the thief began speaking again of worst-case scenarios and such. Suddenly, Namfoodle realized he was indifferent to the whole state of going-ons. Why should he care? All he wanted was lichdom and more power. He represented the Citadel nomes, yes, but he truly didn't feel as compelled as one should. Oneshore reassured himself that there'd be other things benefitting him along the way; maybe even lichdom itself. Then, the human thif stopped speaking. It was a convincing speech, for a human; no doubt about it. Then, Namfoodle stood up.

"I.. though I loathe to say it.. agree with the human. Many of you not in favor of this plan bring up valid and important points! But listen, if we do not do this, what shall we do? We have no other plans to turn to, and certainly shouldn't sit here for a week formulating one. We waste precious time as we wait, and surely the caravans of evil-folk coming to the citadel drew some attention to ourselves, no? We have to take this chance because its simply all we have! No longer do we have the strength to assemble unholy armies, or to create some doomsday weapon. Let us win the world before our old hatreds set in and we're at each other's throats. If someone were to steal a scale, or try to assemble all of them for their lord they'd surely fail. That over-ambitious faction would be targetted by all the others before they could make any progress. At least let evil itself win the world over before you try to steal the scales, for the sake of us all, including yourself. Now, can we just draw our damned sticks and get this over with? I know most of us are getting bored and irritated with the slow progress of this meeting."

When a new day reaches dawn,
I feel it's worth the wait,
But I tumble and I fall,
I'm up against my fate.

When the barricades come down,
I'll build them up again,
When I'm just about to drown,
I still don't know the end.
