43. Call to Arms [voice]

[darkrangerqueen]

[Her tone is deceptively conversational.]The Warden has made it clear that we must prepare for war. He seems to think we are essential to defeating the Entropi. While I do not entirely believe him, he insists that the only way to ensure our return to our worlds is to defeat them. We shall see

You've done something like this before? I hope you don't mind me asking for further proof of your credentials. Besides having lead forces to victory before, what else makes you worthy of our aid?

[darkrangerqueen]

In my world, I run a large city. I oversaw its construction and manage its everyday affairs. I am also its general. Many times my enemies have assaulted the Undercity. A few of the lucky ones made it across the threshold of the royal chamber. It ended there.

Maybe now you understand why I find the current situation so...intolerable. I am not doing this for myself. It is for the rest of you. Being caught unprepared leads to disaster. I want to consolidate the efforts of individuals so that everyone has access to the same knowledge and resources.

Even those who spit in the face of "authority."

[consideritmine]

I see. You sound very qualified~

What sort of abilities do you possess? Surely someone of your rank must be powerful in battle.

[darkrangerqueen]

I have some skill in melee combat, but I am an archer by choice, one of the best in my world. I can enchant my arrows so that they stop the voices of nearby enemies or, if they kill, animate the corpse to fight for me. I have...other talents as well. You may have seen me patrolling the compound with walking skeletons. I summon and control them.

Some of this may damage an Entropi, but I do not know how much. My direct experience is limited to when the Keepers came down from the sky. That is a problem I am not sure we can overcome.

[queenofgames]

I personally haven't commanded forces - my priests were always in the forefront - but I still know how to fight.

Have you ever commanded soldiers yourself?

[darkrangerqueen]

Yes. I have commanded entire armies for decades. I also have experience leading smaller units.

However, I am not the only one here who is capable. Kragok is also.

(OOC: Notice how she is not telling you that she lost once...)

[queenofgames]

What is your method of leading? Do you delegate tasks, or take complete charge?

(OOC: *snrk*)

[darkrangerqueen]

Either and both, depending on who I am dealing with. There are capable people here.

[deaths_pilot]

Giving this another try? Can I ask why bother?

[darkrangerqueen]

...Because I don't want to see another massacre.

[deaths_pilot]

I don't think anyone wants to except for a few nutzos... but, seeing how badly it backfired last time, I dunno if it's really gonna work.

[darkrangerqueen]

Well, if it does backfire, you can say "I told you so." I have little to lose.

[desertprince04]

I'd like to help, Miss Sylvanas. I just don't know if my help would be wanted after what happened to the last attempt to unify everyone.

[darkrangerqueen]

Why wouldn't I want it? You are one of the few who have taken responsibility for the compound. I welcome your assistance.

[desertprince04]

I'm just not sure if people are willing to trust me again... if they feel betrayed by my attempt to help and defend my friend.

I would be willing to help... if I am wanted.

[darkrangerqueen]

You put too much weight on others' opinions. Stand tall. We can't afford to let our petty squabbles dilute our purpose.

[gaz4prez]

Yeah. Where and when?

[darkrangerqueen]

You can speak to me now. After this, there will be a sparring session to determine how to best use our strengths. It will include defense. I will announce it when I am done here.

I am at the fountain right now.

[gaz4prez]

I see. I'll be there then.

[screened to Sylvanas]

Be there in a few.
