Midday at the Pavillions (Thursday, noon)

[Sigurd Vask]

"If Levi feels he can handle running the primary defenses, I am happy to function in the aspect of a vanguard and harass our foes until such a point a time that we have an advantage. Whatever is required of me to ensure we all survive this, I am open to. I cannot condone following an untrained and unproven person into this battle however. I understand that people wish to see the Smith rally our forces, but I am not comfortable with this in any form."

Grimnir shakes his head sadly. "I want to see we all survive a force of united Orcish clans and a mercenary army and can continue to establish this place and ensure all here are made stronger for the outcomes. We must stand united, but we must stand united behind someone qualified to lead."
