Azmun swiftly took the paper that the old Warlock handed him and looked it over, paying more attention to Alastair's debriefing of the mission. He grinned. There was clearly to be a battle ahead in this mission and Azmun for one was eager to get it started, he was looking for a real actual battle for days now. His attention shifted to the door behind him as he saw yet another daemon pass through it and take a seat at the table, as far away from anyone else as it permitted. This one was known as Malvo, a demon of pestilence. Azumn didn't care much for Malvo's ways of spreading disease and infections though he did admit that while it unsavory it may be quite effective. He looked around the room and started counting, 2, 3, 5 and 6 with him. There were 6 of them to be sent in this mission, 4 of them daemons and he had a feeling that this was not everybody. That just made him wonder if the task was truly so crucial or if the battle to come would be that great? The later would be rather welcoming he ultimately judged. Iabor was the first to speak out after the debriefing, apparently he would be aiming to complete this task with as few bloodshed as possible. [i]How noble...[/i] Azmun knew better than to believe that this can actually be resolved peacefully. This king knows damn well what he is doing and its very unlikely that he will change his mind. Killing the king and removing the army by force is the easiest and simplest of solutions. [b]Aye, ser. Death [/b] Azmun answered to Iabor's earlier question [b]If negotiations fail, and trust me they do so more often than not, then we simply remove both the king and his troops from the city by force..[/b] He grinned [b]..Deadly force[/b] He finished with a brief chuckle. If it were up to him, they wouldn't be wasting time trying to talk to this power-hungry human, but ultimately its not his decision. If in the end it is decided that they should try and resolve this peacefully then so be it [i]Let them try. It will come to blood, steel and flame either way. Some things never change and war is one of them[/i]. Herunes then spoke out, pointing out their numbers and wondering how come the Order is willing to send so many for this task. Azumn simply shrugged to that. He didn't knew but didn't much care either. Whatever the Order's plans were he was simply eager to leave these headquarters and bloody his blade. His Contract must be fulfilled after all, the sooner the better. Herunes then suggested that they know a little more about each other if they are to go on the field together. Azumn grinned and concurred [b]"Aye, agreed. We should start with the newcomers"[/b] he said briefly indicating towards Jason and Janette [b]"I have been around here for quite a long time and have never seen you before. Introductions would be nice, I'd like to know who's going to have my back on the battlefield when it comes to that"[/b]
