You attempt to send a pulse of anger to the warrior who escorted the Crystal Speaker, but even though you can sense the rage you planted in him, it feels like there is a thick layer of glass between you and him. You do your best to push through, but you are unsure of how much successfully gets through.
Then you return to the Bastion, impressed by the progress which is currently being made on the arena. A vast section of ground has been cleared, and a wall built thick around an inner circle. You inform your followers of the arriving delegation, and as much copper as possible is dug up, and forged into axes and blades and instruments of savage war. They are stacked in a pile in the center of the bastion, and it grows by the day as the delegation marches closer.
As they arrive, you sit on your throne beyond the copper. There are twenty men and women, wielding blades of crystal, surrounding forty others with their limbs bound together, making them shamble awkwardly. The leader of this band glances disdainfully at you, and then his warriors shove the slaves over to you, and begin piling up copper, placing it in large sacks. They then turn to depart, apparently having no wish to stay here.
