As the others gathered and explained their ideas, Twich took the time to listen but his mind was already gearing up with his own plotted course of action and that required getting the demon on side for it. Turning to meet That Which Consumes Peace's gaze despite his small structure, Twich felt much bigger and more confident due to the fact that their master favored him more then the demon and that if he was struck down there would be consequences. "[color=f7941d]My humans cannot pass for solders, but yours can. They are not going to be dying for nothing... they are going to be valantly sacrificing their lives in order to ensure that the cool headed and peaceful factions of both the dwarfs and the humans will be unable to get a word in edgewise about a peaceful solution when everyone else is drowning them out with a cry for vengeance and blood. Surely you've sacrificed more minions for less then a whole blown dwarf/human war? Besides, you can always grab two of the dwarves to replace the men you gave up; Not only haven't you lost anything from the exchange but you've increased the versatility of your minions and where you can have them operate; And with the coming human/dwarf war... well, you'll be able to have agents on both sides, egging it on to further heights...[/color]" It was an appeal to the demon's very nature and the Kobold might have been laying it on a bit thick, but hopefully the demon would be inclined to listen to him and commit to his plan if only out of self serving greed. Turning to address the group as a whole, Twich took a deep breath in order to puff himself up as much as possible and to give him some air to talk with. "[color=f7941d]In truth Ekusha, before I commit to either yourself or That Which Consumes Peace to enter the mine I wished for the ever delightful Clotho to send in her little friends first in a more covert role in order to get us an idea of what is going on inside. After all, the Master has made note they the dwarfs seem to have some means of blocking his magic and I would rather not send in the magic users until we can work out how they are doing so and figure out how to disable it. If nothing else, it gives us an idea of where everything is and thus better plan or actual assault on the place.[/color]" "[color=f7941d]While Clotho is information gathering on the dwarves, That Which Consumes Peace and Ekusha will be gathering a few pieces of equipment and information on the local human kingdom. Namely, I want you to find out the name of the king, the name of the local lord of the area, several of the human kingdom's flags and if at all possible, a blank document bearing the seal and signature of the local lord. Don't want the dwarfs mistaking this for simply banditry, now do we?[/color]" The grin on Twich's face could only be called delightfully evil at the thoughts that were going through his head.
