The massive part of our success, the alliance with the merfolk, moves me to cement that arrangement by meeting the king again before the big test comes.

There is no reason to go after the Leviathan yet. I say ask for the assistance of the Mistfolk.

| I think it is of utmost important at this point to find out what the merfolk are thinking and planning. It's a loose end that needs to be tied up before we really get the war machine moving again. Once we find out where we stand with them, I would think requesting aid from the mistfolk and setting raids on the ships of the bullroars would take precedence.

I'm with you Random. We're asked to vote on what we want to do first, and whilst I think all the suggestions need to be done, I'm still wary of the Merfolks commitment. We are relying on them for an awful large amount, and even more to come, we have to make sure they're on side.

The only way to truely cement the alleince with the merfolk is the wedding. If it is going to occur, we need to spend what time we have with Lalomea in preperation for it. Perhaps time spent with her would fulfill the to purpose of understanding the merfolk motives in addition to getting to know our future wife. Just have to be a little subtle.
Okay Smee, ready for the spelling corrections hehe.

| I voted merfolk too, but not just to find their motivations. I would also question the king about Leviathan and his thoughts on the new Bullroar Fleet. I would also ask about the wedding as that would bind our relationship a little more. I would ask about tactics and stratagies before I questioned loyalties. Treat the king as an ally and father more than as a possible threat.

an enemy can be a powerful alie

Yes it would, saxon, it woud distract the bullroars and delay the attack, it would show your power, it would boost moral, gain supplies, free some more sheep heads,etc...it would also give the merfolk some time to deal with the serpent...why check with the merfoolk again? Whats the point? Haven't they always just reasserted what they said before and sent you back? At least thats what I think...

Although the other chapters are locked, you should be able to still read the story.

| Lalomea must know about Leviathan, and also probably knows her father's real attitude toward Lodevar and the sheepheads. She may know something about the mistfolk, too. If Lodevar has her confidence, he could learn much that he needs to know in just a short time spent with her. It's not necessary to hurry the wedding; the war can't wait for festivities like that, but I think he should talk to her and he will be in a better position to decide what to do next.

exactly, we can do that saxon. They will be very suprised, and then we move out fast, a lightning hit! Maybe this shouldn't be a priority, now that I think, but it should be eventually done... because we never really do anything to take our land back...Anyway, it could be easy to take. If one sheephead slave escapes his master in the city for a while, he can open the gate from inside for us.

Good question. In this case, I think it's possible to do a combination of the two choices. In general, maybe that's the only case when the author would vote.

Well, you said that you are going to put all the things in the poll into the story eventually, so at least I'm happy we are taking a city, the 2nd step to victory...

| Welcome back bherman. We don't know who summoned the thing last time. Just that it was someone powerful. Hoping it isn't the emporer because that would be bad for our cause.
