Yay, a resounding victory! I am a bit lost on the current round at the moment, however. Lauretta supports the capture of the commander.

I've just posted so it's a new round and everybody can act. The raiders are all fleeing. R3N-L3 is in melee with one of the commanders.

Ah, of course I said something about being lost right as you gave us an update, haha. Thank you for the recap!

@Windyridge would you like to take the initiative this round?

Just confirming that you want to head to the shrine to try to intercept Invidian and their forces? Are you bringing all of your current forces with you, too?

Yes, Lauretta is wanting to intercept Invidian and their forces. Do y'all think we should send back some troops to the village to help give them some more support for defenses later? The midnight assault will hinge on those.

Also, would Lauretta know anything about fallen angels with her Preceptor of the High One profession?

Leaving some troops to protect the village is a fine idea. The rest to the shrine.

Sure!

The High One created the seraphs to serve and thus expects obedience from them all. If any show any deviation from the purpose for which they were made, such as the adoption of a name, a display of some quirk or mannerism, or, rank disobedience, the seraph becomes a pariah, stripped of their wings, and cast out of Paradise to wander the face of Erth for the rest of their days. Being immortal means their suffering lasts until slain or destroyed by mishap.

Archons, as they are called, resemble their seraph kin despite their lack of wings. The trauma of losing their wings and their exile from Paradise might not end an archon’s dedication to the High One. They might hope for redemption and serve their creator in the mortal world as they did in Paradise. For most, though, the pain, anguish, and shame poison their hearts and lead them into darkness, where they become effective and deadly agents of evil. One can find these fallen angels leading bandits or orcs, consorting with fiends, or, even, at the head of undead or demonic armies.

Awesome, all very good info for Lauretta to have. :)
