Oh General, you clearly know how to command your minions well enough so that you never have to leave what little crevasse you hole up in on a regular basis. If I didn't enjoy a good midnight hunt once in a while, I might consider asking you how you do it. Regardless, though. We?re just a little interested in the progress of your conquest.

Frankly, we're confused. Perhaps you could enlighten us. Were you trying to fight the Consanguine? I remember you all throwing yourselves futilely at the Primus not long ago. We?re still recovering from the ordeal. Mostly still cleaning up your blood from His throne room. Thank you, for your generous donation.

How is the war inside your city's walls? You seek to condemn Bloodloch for welcoming Consanguine, however choose to live amongst them in your own home? That must be terribly frustrating. I see you have managed to dig your grubby little fingers into city politics a little farther.. keep at it, you just might get that third Syssin Senator and replace the ones stopping you from your purge of Spinesreach. I won?t lie, I thought some of your leaders had a bit more spine, but what do I know? I?m young and ignorant.

Wait. Are you fighting against Consanguine, or Bloodloch? I've kind of lost focus on what exactly it is you're trying to do here. Are the Consanguine that share your home off limits, or friends? I see you all fighting together for ylem, so I assume you just selectively stick your fingers in your ears and sing loudly, so it doesn't count. Effective tactic, that.

I also see that theft has certainly worked wonders for the Syssin, in regards to fighting the good fight. You've truly stuck it to Abhorash and the Dominion by robbing a few of Bloodloch's shops, really weakened the bloodline. I suppose I should have also capitalized on a faulty artifact that, well... I?m terribly sorry that ability has been robbed from you now, too. I mean, we aren't taking it too personal, anyway. Your members have also been ripping off Enorian's novices, so. Stay classy. We'll still offer Spinesreach's novices assistance if they are looking for anything during their travels through Bloodloch. We don't need to take paltry pocket change from teenagers to feel significant.

Nice work trying to cover the fact that your ignorantly enlightened lackeys failed to learn that the Carnifex have a shop in Bloodloch, and tried to rob that too. That must do wonders for public relations. Go ahead, stick your fingers in your ears and sing louder.. I hear if you believe something for so long, it becomes true. It might work out for you.


At any rate, maybe you can understand some of our confusion, here. I know Spinesreach enjoys its spirits, but maybe your lot should lay off a bit and get your lives sorted out. Throwing yourselves at us for attention comes off as rather desperate. I'm no politician though, what do I know.
