Lacking the will to do things properly is a known failing of other armies. He's not disappointed; being disappointed that your model of reality is correct is among the clearest signs that you've gotten things twisted inside. There are more practical matters to be handled regardless.

"Have the sunrise sword briefed you on the enemies we have been dealing with?"

"They said they took a lot more hitting to take out and that cold iron didn't help as much as it should have. Have you learned anything else about them?"

Permalink

"Yes. The fundamental issue they failed to recognize was that our foes were not demons at all, but a tribe of Gargoyles. Many of them appear to have demonic blood or empowerment from the fiendish powers, which allows them to overcome much of their weakness to magic, but they are fundamentally mortal. This is why neither blessed nor cold iron weapons find purchase and smites manage only a partial stopgap. The surest antidote we have found, for organizations lacking in magic weapons, is that of a coordinated defense; they have little ability to strike at range, and if enough force can be concentrated it is possible to slay them between when they first dive for a victim and when they take off again. A lucerne hammer is ideal, when they can be brought to bear."

"I'll aim to get you some of those, then, if you don't have enough. And more arrows." And raid their base again; maybe she can kill a bunch of them and take some of the pressure off.

"My unit would find use for another twelve such hammers, arrows up to four thousand, and wands or scrolls of magic weapon up to five hundred castings; I will approve payment for their transportation from citadel Dinyar or purchase them from your stores at up to half again their Arodus market values in Absalom, under the authorization of Paralictor Regill Derenge."

She takes notes, though not anywhere Regill can see them. "Excellent. Is there anything else you'd like to discuss before I go get the second wagon? Or after, I suppose."

Permalink

"Your crusade's campaign plans, or at least the public details thereof. It seems likely that operating completely independently is inefficient, and if nothing else we could press the demons in multiple places at the same time to divide their response."

Permalink

"I agree. Do you have a suitable meeting room, or would you prefer to come back to mine?" Hers has the advantage of being able to easily grab her staff if they want additional heads, but if the Paralictor wants his own staff and maps and so forth or just doesn't want to bother with being teleported here is also fine.

"Our meeting tent is sufficiently secure for what I planned to share of our own goals, but it does not fundamentally surpass the second level of security; it's a static location inside the wound and not covered by a sanctum. Whether that is secure enough for your own purposes is something I cannot determine, but I am willing to join you if you deem it prudent."

After he sets things up to ensure the result of him being compromised is the order losing him for its purposes and not risking his unit, of course. There are some things you don't chance when taking an unplanned Teleport.

"Your tent is fine." She'll just not say anything it would be particularly bad for the demons to learn. It might not even be hard, with the much more imminent risk of embarrassment about Regill thinking she said something she shouldn't have.
