Sylvi has been looking at Jordan thoughtfully, then asks the group, "Do they still seem to be targeting centaurs? Or have they completely shifted focus to vengeance?"

"So far, we centaurs seem to be off the hook." Jordan shrugs "Course most of us have been dropped off by your dad"

She nods. "I was just thinking that if they were still trying to capture some, maybe a volunteer centaur could lure them into a trap...but I'm actually glad that's not needed."

"So am I" Jordan blinks

Brekke clears her throat. "When can this be put into motion?" She seems to be asking the group as a whole.

"ASAP sounds good" Siv nods

Brekke nods to Siv. "How can I support you?"

She looks over at Symonn, then back "Truthfully, I think we've got this with the crew already mentioned. We might end up capturingg someone that a good Gwydion truth check would work on, but we have Dagmar for that too. Nadeen, Sylvi, you're the politically savvy types, anything I'm missing on mom's end that her title and pull allows?"

"Well, clearly the Chieftain is the one the aid will be offered to from our respective holds, so as they say, the dross stops with her," Nadeen says respectfully "But I suspect that was a givenn"

"Um...a lot of that depends on location. Y'know, knowing who's in charge of the places we're going to be. If it's all in Rivervale or Bergen, we're pretty much good...but beyond that? We might need to have a get-out-of-jail-free card of some kind."

"That's the only thing I can think of, though, right now." Sylvi adds.

"I can demand your extradition, if it comes to that," Brekke says. "And if not I, then Hemlock."

Siv nods "We'll try to make sure that's not needed. Don't want you to burn your favors and influence. "

"Definitely not" Nadeen says "Though Silverwolf might chip in with that too if asked. "

Brekke nods. "Noted."

"Then...I trust you to enact this, and I await word of your success." Brekke sets the wilders (plus Vali) on their task.

"Yes, Chieftain," Sylvi says with a grin.

"Yes, Chieftain" Siv and Nadeen say.

Zane looks over at Frank (or were Frank was) guiltily, then nods

Sylvi gives Zane a questioning look at that, but doesn't say anything just then.

"If you need supplies," Kerri says, "Let me know."

"Some of the healing cookies are always good, Hearh" Siv admits

"On it," she grins, and she gives Sylvi a quick half-hug before vanishing into the kitchen.

"Your mother is amazing..." Nadeen tells Sylvi "I think what surprises me is how much care she puts in each cookie. They vary so much"

Sylvi grins proudly and nods, but doesn't say anything.

Brekke rises from her chair by the balefire. "I will leave you to it. Excuse me," she says as she goes to the front door. "I must see to the horses."

Several folks bow as she goes, or give a troll salute

Sylvi salutes, then bites her lip after the Chieftain is gone.

"Are you okay?" Kelby whispers to Sylvi

"Huh? Um...yeah," she whispers back, then louder, "Yeah. It's just...like...getting the band back together, right?" She grins.

Siv grins "Getting to be the size of an orchestra but yeah"

"I love a parade...." Sylvi half sing-songs.

Others chuckles

Zane smiles "More like Black Parade..." Annd he lifts his voice and sings, not as good as Piper, but not bad "When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?"

Sylvi nods along, smiling, to the tune. It's a good one.

And the wilders, nnot all, but most, harmonize and join in. Wtihout even aware they're giving a performace

It may get a little loud in the Lodge when the beat drops after the first part...but that's NOT a bad thing!

Poor Symon knows enough to put those ear muffs on

Sylvi starts with just humming...and then singing...but then she gives herself right over to it and belts out the song un-selfconsciously, eyes closed, arms out, and living it.

At the same time, Zane is already there, he had plans for a soothsay cantrip.. but then Spring, as Spring does, pokes i... even in the summer time

Symon sinks UP into the farther point of the rafters.

There's almost certainly room for both cantrips in this glamour...and perhaps the Spring enhances the soothsay!

and the glamour mixes... the Bale flares, images form.... a centaur rising, over a one armed figure, Leech! The centaur holds out a hand, and the Sluagh writhes...and suddenly bursting out of the chest of the sluagh is the reaper, released. The skeletel figure turns on the sluagh tha once held it, laughs, and twirls a sycthe while the centaur watches. The blade goes down, and where once there was a slaugh, there's a glowing cenntaur.. and a flower of new growth in the ground

The last strains of their singing are fading out as the vision completes. Sylvi stares at it, breathless.

"I ... I was casting an omenn, for a clue. I think.." Zane's looking dazed "Used you all as a bunk... but then you that in"

"I...wow...I didn't really mean to," Sylvi stammers, adding, "...sorry?"

Dagmar can sense that it was all true.

"Don't apologize..." Zane blinks "Did you all see that?" They all did

"What does it mean though?" Symon sinks down to whisper.

"The centaur...released Leech's death? So it could kill him?"
