face=Garamond>Listening to Unali's report, then thinking for a moment, Kell
bounces from one foot to the other. Then he stands still, listening to
Farseeker and Caladan. Never one to be quiet, most people probably wish
he's shut up more, he adds, "I agree, they don't know we are here. Were I
them, and I knew about us, I'd send a swarm of bug to eat us. Yet that
hasn't happened."</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face=Garamond>"Any attack should wait! Once they know we are here, it will
become a continous fight. We still don't know where the world brain is, or
where that portal is. If we can find those, we can stop the
invasion. Those are the keys to stopping it. Whilst attacking their
ampistaff growth pond could very well be something we must do, lets wait to
reveal ourselves as long as possible. Stealth is our best ally right
now. They may be able to send hundreds of warriors against us."
Looking around in the dark cavern at the group, including everyone as he
speaks. Some are more relaxed, and some, like the Captain, are more
tense. His vision is so much better than most, for which the half-elf is
thankful.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face=Garamond>Where are the entrances? There must be at least one into
it. Possibly only one. If so we can use that against them. If
there is more than one entrance, we need to plan for that. Whatever
we do, planning is key. We need all the edges we can get in this
fight. It's our only shot."</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face=Garamond>Switching to Marentian so the Captain hopefully doesn't
understand, "The time for hiding our abilities and who we are has ended.
The Captain has no choice now but to trust us, or he'll die. He knows
this. One or two of us can stay near him just in case he decides to act
foolishly once he knows more about us. But Fremea needs her wings back,
and we'll be using magic again soon I foresee. We can either tell him a
bit, or just let him see it as things unfold," giving Fremea a
hard and friendly look, a playful intonation at the
last.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P>Kiet looks at the gap, then glances at Raban. That might make it
tough for him to get through. Kiet whispers "Maybe one of you that can
go insubstantial can take Raban with you thru the rock wall. 'Course,
there won't be any retreat for him..."</P></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
