So, anyone have any bright ideas for how to solve the situation? At this point were sandwiched in a civil war between two greater powers and with no apparent allies to turn to... thoughts?
Basically, the situation is like this, as Kim said:
Northern Dsesnor (Esterock Keep, High Queen) and Southern Dsesnor (Serpenton, the Wizard's Trade Order) have been looking for an excuse to go to war against each other for some time. Lord Kimusho No Kanshu's trial was an attempt to force this excuse; when he admitted to stockpiling weapons against the WTO (thus siding him with the Queen), they had their excuse and executed him. We made it worse, but it probably would have happened even if we didn't kill the judges.
War begins. On the side of Northern Dsesnor is Icashi - where, of course, all this is happening - and the newly-liberated Lumi Town. Esterock Keep is also on this side (thus, the High Queen), and is sending what few troops she has (Iron Disciples, Amir conscripts) to fight. On the side of Southern Dsesnor are a lot of the Dsesnorian clans (Crab, Phoenix, Crane, Spider, probably others) who have, incidentally, been gathering for some months in preparation for this. Also on that side is of the course the WTO and all their various resources.
The new head of Icashi is another member of Wu Clan; I don't know what her name is. She's primarily a paladin instead of a samurai, which is weird because she's in charge of a prison town, but it makes sense 'cause vampires. She's serving as a general in the war, or something like that. And other people are taking sides too - Shang-Ti, for example.

Fortify, fortify, fortify. It'll help out in Icashi. Also, maybe make more farms? We already turned one into a fort with rocks. Maybe we could make FF (farm-forts) to ensure food/supplies.

Problem is finding people to do that in this time of war... most able bodied people are on the front lines are getting the heck out of Dsesnor, so that might make it difficult...
But if we could find people to do it, fortifying our food supply would be an awesome idea.

It seems like it would be pretty simple to do it as a mission where a guildmaster veteran (or veterans) stay contained in an area and are doing the fortifications while the rest of the players fend off WTO troops. As long as we actually physically did it it probably would work.

I'm sure me and dylan (both centaurs) or me zane and niall (all centaurs) could help out, like what we did with the farm.

We should get the salt warriors to help us as well. I'll assume they'll work the same way as the Terracotta ones.

Yeah... Guys, we have a plan for dealing with the salt warriors that is pretty similar to the way we dealt with the terracotta ones. If you can find things that do AV0 damage that would probably be useful. Prepare for that to get dealt with next month.
Bright ideas, let's see... We could poke Stonehammer or the Warden for assistance. I don't know if they'll side with us, but they may be able to figure out how to avoid getting crushed between Serpenton and Svodlun. Normally I'd say see if we can get Sorikonia to help us secretly, but I actually trust Kamanari enough to think that if he's gonna do something he'll do it on his own and he'll do it subtly enough that we'll probably never hear about it. If we can deal with Blackspire or Odilwatch we might be able to free Randwin up to help us out, but I'm not sure how we'd accomplish that. Other then that, look for legendary weapons and statue armies I guess.

I can "lend" my teleport bow to some one, but I need a reason other then attacking the WTO. I can't help directly because of Sorikonia. Please give me a good reason to help you.( oh I have studied Serpenton)

I think he's talking about his Water Monk who is distant Water Clan royalty.

Hm... that's an interesting idea, Quinn. The only problem I see with it is that, once we teleported in, what would we do? It is the home of the Serpenton Guard and the Wizard Trade Order, so they'd be able to bring such a high level of firepower to bear it seems kinda fruitless... but if someone has a plan, than great. Also- I think we need to find out what the Queen is going to do with Icashi. We can hold bigger aspirations for the greater ideological conflict (WTO vs. Queen), but if we don't know how we (as in Icashi) stand right now then what's the point? Problem is finding out that information...

Just had a thought - if people *are* going to go up to Esterock to help the Queen... how are they going to get there? Normally we'd take the river up, but... that means going through Serpenton. Which poses problems. Other ideas?
