[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 8627989, member: 7015827"] The old warrior moved to the central chair and took his place on it, scanning the room before beginning his speech. He said that he knew all of them, and they all knew him, as well as having met each other at one point or another. Thessar stated that he could vouch for each of them, to some extent, and although he was not a trusting sort, these were tough times. While he was speaking, Njord looked around the room, clearly expecting some someone to walk out of the shadows, as Aerikoth maintained an unblinking gaze on the old warrior, hands folded in the sleeves of his robes as was the wizard’s wont. Thessar said they all knew what had been happening in the Shore and around the city, drawing a firm nod from Dermot. The vampires were coming out in force, taking more people. And they would not stop unless someone made them. Worst of it all was the fact the Night Mask leadership was the same as the vampire leadership. This revelation sparked a questioning outburst from Lady Tylanna, who still looked somewhat shocked after Thessar confirmed this. Njord interjected, saying that some of the Masks did not like that and were willing to try to purge the vampires. Thessar acknowledged this, but again said not to get ahead of themselves about the Masks, as they needed to talk about what they could do to make Westgate right, first – without anyone from the Masks in the room. He asked first what their goal should be. Njord proffered the Night King as their target, as the main player, but Aerikoth did not agree. The wizard argued that the Night King was important, without doubt, but another would take his place, if left vacant.

He then asked if they were in agreement, then, that the vampires were the real threat, receiving acceptance from all of the others.

Rosten frowned slightly at this, his yellowed eyes following the warrior as he went to the entrance door and opened and closed it twice in rapid succession.
