• Some other time.
• Ulma Ripleather, leatherworker to the Imperator. What I can do with raw hides would make you cry.
• You know Smodur the Unflinching?
• Smodur the Unflinching, Fume Brighteye, Bhuer Goreblade, Mia Kindleshot. I've made leather products for them all. If there was a Khan-Ur, I'd be tanning his hides too.
• Tell me about Smodur the Unflinching. What's he like?
• Tribune Mia Kindleshot? What can you tell me about her?
• You've met Fume Brighteye? Tell me more!
• Is Bhuer Goreblade as impressive up close?
• That's enough. Carry on.
• They say she's a visionary. I hear she's pushing the powers that be to sign the treaty with the humans. They also say she was instrumental in arranging the original cease fire.
• What about the others?
• That's enough. Carry on.
• It makes me proud to be Iron Legion under the imperator's command. If not for Smodur the Unflinching, the citadel would be just another towering mound of metal.
• She's new to the ranks, but you won't find a more vicious soldier. Her sire, Hothor Brightblood, was martyred by humans in Ebonhawke. Some say she's bucking to be the next imperator.
• The head of the Adamant Guard. He named his warband after his ancestor, Drub Goreblade, so he has plenty to prove. I hear if you make him mad, he'll use you as a sheath for his sword.
• This city sure attracts dangerous and capable looking individuals, don't it?
• My kind of crowd. Who are you?
• Maul Shadowharm is my name. My warband's here on leave from the front. We're cooped up in the canton behind us, but I was dying to explore the citadel.
• I'm %str1%. I see you're Ash Legion.
• I see you're Ash Legion. As am I.
• I am. My warband specializes in stealth operations. You never see us coming.
• How many are in your warband?
• Say it loud, say it proud—"Who can? Ash can!" How long you been out of the fahrar?
• Long enough to remember it fondly. You?
• Ooo! You ARE powerful! Skillet is very impressed.
• Nine. We kept it small because we have to be more mobile than other warbands. Then, we usually split up into smaller groups of three.
• Sounds like you know what you're doing. Good-bye.
• You have discovered great secrets!
• The same. I hope after my warband winds up this leave, we'll get sent someplace where we can see real action. I'm tired of just slamming ghosts.
• You don't like slamming ghosts?
• First off, they don't bleed. Plus, you can't kill them. Worst of all, no matter what you do, they pop right back up come the next sunset. It's like whacking dredge with a mace.
• Got it. I'd better keep moving. Bye.
• This must be a convergence of ley lines. Some are narrow, but one is quite wide. This crossroads of magical energy must be Scarlet's target.
• One of the displays shows a set of pulsing lines that all converge on the spot directly below the drill. Those must be the ley lines Taimi mentioned.
• Me? Born about three good spits from here. My mother swears I was born with an axe in my hand. Ready to fight.
• Ouch. Can I ask something else?
• Sure. Whatever you want to know, legionnaire.
• The name of your warband. What's the story?
• What are your warband's current orders?
• Who's your legionnaire?
• Never mind. As you were.
• We're the Strike warband. We chose Strike when we heard about a 'band named Strike who were massacred by Flame Legion. We honor the fallen.
• Good answer. As you were.
• We just got off junkyard duty. It's not as glamorous as it sounds. We're expecting new orders from the tribune any day now.
• Good. As you were.
• Fourteen. We've been together since the fahrar. We get along pretty good, though Faststrike drives me nuts with his yammering.
• Too much information. As you were.
• That's the problem. Faststrike is our legionnaire, though maybe not for long. I'm thinking of challenging him for it. He's just not leadership material.
• What does your centurion think about that?
• She's got a dozen other warbands to worry about. She turns a blind eye to the little clashes, so long as nobody important dies. She'd see that as wasting resources.
