Bestowal Dialogue The Sickle, the Lotus, and the Lion "You have brought the leaders of Ambarûl, Khûd Zagin, and Imhûlar together in Iridír. Mizâdi has much to do before Girhâzi and Amalíbi trust her or her leadership." Background "You have brought the leaders of Ambarûl, Khûd Zagin, and Imhûlar together in Iridír. Mizâdi has much to do before Girhâzi and Amalíbi trust her or her leadership." Objective 1 Join Mizâdi around the war table Join Mizâdi around the war table. Objective 2 Listen to the conversation Listen to the conversation. Mizâdi says, "I have called this war council to discuss how we all can work together to defeat this Bârshud." Amalíbi says, "Now you want to work together? What about when we begged you for help, when Bârshud was overrunning our fortifications?" Amalíbi says, "You are impossible Mizâdi. A selfish child." Amalíbi says, "You did not answer our pleas, and for that you will have to answer our dead." Amalíbi says, "You were like a moth to a flame, Mizâdi. He played you for a fool." Mizâdi says, "I may be Queen of Fools, but at least I have a homeland." Mizâdi says, "I am not wandering the barrens, Queen of the Wastes.' Amalíbi says, "How dare you treat with me like this?!" Girhâzi says, "We need to focus on the matter at hand. We are all here now, with our skin, and that is what matters. Girhâzi says, "Mizâdi, many say you are a skilled tactician." Girhâzi says, "Why don't you tell us what you know of this Bârshud and his army? Mizâdi says, "<name>, I would speak with you briefly." Objective 3 Speak with Mizâdi Speak with Mizâdi in the war room. Mizâdi: 'Thank you for coming, friend. It is quite the aid, let me tell you. I know not how to make my words persuade others, I haven't the talent. What's worse, it seems my passion has gotten the better of me again. I wish I had not said what I did to Amalíbi. 'Could you gather the map from near the Subuzûri guard and spread it on the table? Now that we are discussing tactics and troop movements I feel much more in my element.' Objective 4 Gather the map from near the Subuzûri Gather the map from near the Subuzûri. Objective 5 Spread the map out on the table. Spread the map out on the table. Objective 6 Listen to the conversation Listen to the conversation. Mizâdi says, "We know not where Bârshud is, just that he controls much of Khûd Zagin." Mizâdi says, "His Umûn admitted to our friend here that Bârshud has designs on Ambarûl, and particularly its stores of grain." Mizâdi says, "I believe that Bârshud intends to seize Ambarûl in order to starve the rest of Shagâna." Numûru says, "That is not a bad plan. Without grain stores, none of our soldiers cannot stay in the field for long." Rahâzi says, "I could fight for a fortnight without food." Numûru says, "Oho, I believe you could indeed! But for many, their growling belly would betray them long before a fortnight ends." Girhâzi says, "He has not been able to seize much farmland." Girhâzi says, "The Dumûri halted his advance at Garash Kâru, within Ambarûl but far to the south." Amalíbi says, "Then we must reinforce our position outside Garash Kâru, and seize it once we have sufficient numbers." Mizâdi says, "Yes. I agree. We should eliminate his foothold within Ambarûl and then work to push back his forces from north to south in Khûd Zagin." Mizâdi says, "Since arriving here, I have instructed three scouting parties to start searching for large Ekhamâti encampments in Khûd Zagin." Mizâdi says, "I believe our best course of action is to gather our forces here, resupply, then assault Garash Kâru once all our forces arrive in Iridír." Mizâdi says, "Meanwhile my scouts will search for Bârshud's location, and if we find him..." Mizâdi says, "I say we launch a counter-attack with the aim to cut off the snake's head." Mizâdi says, "Without Bârshud, I believe the Ordâkhai will lose their nerve and return south, likely back to this Hûl in Ordâkh Bârshud mentioned." Mizâdi says, "He will lose his army and his head in one fell stroke." Numûru says, "Is it agreed then, that this is our plan of action?" Girhâzi says, "Ambarûl stands with you, Mizâdi." Numûru says, "Amalíbi?" Amalíbi says, "If it's a choice between Mizâdi and Barshud, I suppose that's no choice at all." Amalíbi says, "You may be fairweather allies, but yes, we will go along with your plan, Mizâdi. But don't push your luck." Amalíbi says, "The Khûd is vast and full of empty areas." Mizâdi says, "It is agreed then. Such as it is." Mizâdi says, "An alliance between the Sickle, the Lotus, and the Lion, for the protection of all Shagâna." Girhâzi says, "I swear it." Amalíbi says, "I swear it." Mizâdi says, "I swear it." Mizâdi says, "For the protection of all Shagâna." Objective 7 Speak with Mizâdi in the hall Speak with Mizâdi in the hall. Mizâdi: 'The alliance proffered here is uneasy, and fragile, but it is there. Let us venture back outside into Iridír. We have preparations to make.
