• I had it all set. That coward Steelbane was the only thing between me and taking over this warband. Then you came along and beat me to it.
• At the end of the day, I don't care whose banner I serve under as long as I'm the one giving the orders.
• Like right now,"boss." I'm ordering you to die.
• Smoke Shaman
• The Flame Legion must be getting desperate if they're resorting to cow bombs.
• Desperation is a weapon, Legionnaire. If they're targeting our defenses, they're planning a major assault on the city.
• Tactically, a night attack makes the most sense. When it comes, I need you and your warband in the field.
• When the fighting starts, your orders are to maneuver behind their front line troops and take out the rear guard.
• Without mages and artillery to support the main force, they'll never breach the Black Citadel's walls. It's an important job. Can you handle it?
• My soldiers are ready, sir. We won't let Blood Legion down.
• Good. Dismissed.
• Ahh, you're back. Snarl and Galina have already complained to me about you. Apparently, your designs are too good and you're too cagey. Well done.
• I have to agree. Anybody who can stay ahead of Snarl and make Galina wait is doing something right.
• Both tests went well. Either warband would make good use of the weapon.
• Time to choose. Which weapon application do you want to pursue? Which legion are you going to bless with our machinery?
• Tribune! I have reports of a large ghost force massing near Ashford Forum.
• Hmm. They aren't usually so organized. This could be trouble. Tribune, shall we send both Galina and Snarl to deal with this threat?
• Works for me. The more force we apply, the better.
• Then the only question is who gets the weapon? It's your call, Legionnaire. Let me know what you decide so I can send word that you're coming.
• Blood Legion Soldier
• Well? What do you think?
• It blows up ghosts real good, sir. I'm itching for a chance to try it out for myself.
• It'll work even better once we train your soldiers on it. Your tank isn't perfect, but she's a good fit for my weapon.
• Hah! Just what I wanted to hear. When do you install your fancy new weapon permanently?
• I can't say. I have to meet with another warband before I decide anything.
• Hmph. Well, do what you have to do...then get back here. If Iron wants results, they have to give us the right tools.
• Snarl Backdraft
• Zemzer Undercut
• Ears up, soldiers. I'm here to conduct the weapons tests.
• I'm Snarl Backdraft, Ash Legion. Good thing you're on time. If this Bloody hardhead said one more word, I was going to kill her myself.
• You? With your bad aim? Keep pretending, Ash-trash. I'm Galina Edgecrusher, Blood Legion. Once you see our cannon in operation, Legionnaire, you won't need to test anything else.
• Go ahead—test Blood's cannon first. It's always good to start on the bottom of the pile.
• Fine. Blood goes first. Galina, how are you using my Ghostbore weaponry with your cannon?
• We launch flares and broadcast taunts to draw out packs of ghosts. Then you blast them to smithereens.
• Sounds fun. Get ready to taunt your tails off. I'll keep my finger on the trigger.
• Galina Edgecrusher
• Not bad...for loud, pointless noise. Come on, let me show you a more elegant use of the Ghostbore weaponry.
• Our turrets are powerful and portable...a single soldier can deploy up to three on a battlefield and coordinate fire.
• So you kill the ghosts where you find them, instead of luring them close?
• Exactly. For this test, we're holding ghosts in a containment unit. You place the turrets, we'll release the prey.
• Sounds like a plan. Let's get started.
• Officer on deck! Tribune Goreblade, the tests are complete. I've got all the information I need to decide.
• Not too difficult, I trust? Between Galina and Snarl, you were lucky not to be ripped in half.
• Well done, Legionnaire. So, which application of your weapon earns the upgrade?
• Excuse me, Tribune! A large ghost force is massing near Ashford Forum! They're calling a muster to fight them off!
• Ah, an opportunity. If you have no objections, Brimstone, let's send both Blood and Ash to confront the ghosts.
• Definitely. The more force, the better. But which side gets the Ghostbore weaponry?
• Let me confer with my Legionnaire, and I'll let you know.
• Trybulus is definitely in there, with a full complement of Flame Legion troops.
• It'll be tricky to get close without alerting the guard. Looks like your kind of battlefield, Ash. What's the plan?
