[GreatWyrmGold]

Sorry about not starting earlier. I got my charging cord, then I got distracted, then I left for a family thing.


The barracks door slams open. Two people walk in, one a handsome nobleman in fine clothing with brown hair and sideburns, the other a tall woman wearing a leather jacket and skirt, armed with a sword on each hip and a large crossbow on her back. They walk over to you.
"Greetings, sorcerers. I believe you all know why you are here?"

((We could go for the main idea of the nation...

Not-Britain))

"... No, the fact that you explained before you stole me from the gallows didn't tip me off at all."

[kj1225]

"I think consensus is your using us for something sir."
Kyle says after walking over to the two.

[RangerCado]

"I... I don't know..."

[Parsely]

Logan remains sitting. Ooh. Prolly got something really important for us if big britches here is anything to show. Tell me something: how much ass did you kiss to convince your precious king to allow people like us into the army?

((Added to my list of Things To Do With a Time Machine.))

"... No, the fact that you explained before you stole me from the gallows didn't tip me off at all."

"I'm not sure exactly what you were told, because I wasn't there. Glad some of you were informed."

"I think consensus is your using us for something sir."
Kyle says after walking over to the two.

"Indeed."

"I will pretend for the moment that that inquiry was phrased in a polite manner and deal with that...improper attitude at a later date. It was the exigencies of a unique war."

"I... I don't know..."

"Unfortunate...do you remember the freak snowfall a couple years back? A few days in the middle of summer, heavy snowfall, with the snow vanishing faster than it came?"
"Freak snowfall, caused by a freak."
"...Yes, more or less. We're going to war against her, for that and other reasons. The problem is, a sorceress--particularly a powerful one, particularly one with time to hone her skill, particularly one with her resources--is a hard target to deal with, one capable of creating other problems. This is where you come in."

[RangerCado]

"Y-you want us to kill... kill a queen...?" Selina is only slightly disbelieving at this point.

[kj1225]

"And what are these other reasons? Hardly a good idea to go to war if we don't have good reasons. Or more power."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"What, worldwide famine isn't enough? She also cut off trade with a couple major trading partners, treated foreign dignitaries with disrespect, and is keeping me from marrying the woman I am engaged to. Those are the most easily-explained reasons."

[RangerCado]

"...I-it was that bad...?" A few days snow didn't seem THAT bad... she had been able to find enough food for her and her friend in the woods from plants... would crops have been affected a lot more?

[kj1225]

"What benefit is a worldwide famine? It sounds like part of an accident. Maybe a bit to much power and not enough control. It happens to... well it happens to me so why wouldn't it happen to the her? And I doubt it'll happen again if she's gotten as good as you say."

[RangerCado]

"...wh-what kingdom a-am I in...?" Selina has no clue.

[GreatWyrmGold]

"What benefit is a worldwide famine? It sounds like part of an accident. Maybe a bit to much power and not enough control. It happens to... well it happens to me so why wouldn't it happen to the her? And I doubt it'll happen again if she's gotten as good as you say."

"Perhaps she will never cause such an issue again. Are you willing to risk the lives of everyone in the world on this? And consider--she could use those powers on us. What kings wouldn't bow before her, knowing she could destroy their lands? It goes beyond the obvious as well. I've seen her make monsters, a snow-monster with claws of ice, tall as a house and strong as ten oxen, unstoppable as a snowstorm. Imagine if she made more, even only a handful. What army could stand up to a force? This is, among other things, a preemptive strike."

"...wh-what kingdom a-am I in...?" Selina has no clue.

"Currently, we are near Weselton, preparing for the final voyage to Arendell."

[kj1225]

"I'm fairly certain that any magic can do that, but okay. I yield to your judgement."

Kyle turns to the woman and gives her a polite nod.

"Oh, how rude of me. May I ask your name miss?"

[GreatWyrmGold]

"I'm fairly certain that any magic can do that, but okay."

"Indeed. One step at a time."

"Oh, how rude of me. May I ask your name miss?"

"You may."
"This is Finna Svensdottir, a witch-hunter who I have requested help instruct you."
