We go ask him, what he would like done, and what his plans are for the attack.
You find Arion, Nisoru, Martine, King Oliver, King Rosetree, Michael, Ajax, an Ice Gnome and a dwarf with blond hair and an ill fitting tabard bearing Stasis' symbol all standing around a table with fairly sophisticated models of the castle, Messada and the surrounding countryside. They all appear to be listening to a figure most of you have seen before: Thanis Whiteknight, the former Lord Protector of the Kingdom.
They listen to your ideas, a few of them with looks of genuine fear, before responding. Nisoru says: "Drawing Uscis away from the army is an excellent idea, but this is very bad ground on which to challenge the wyrm. You would have to get it very close to the castle for the defenses to be of any help. Unless you could paralyze it in some way."
Thanis says: "Unless Uscis is a madman, and they typically don't rise to positions of power in armies, I don't think there is any chance he intends to try and breach the castle. Even if we assume he has only a minimal knowledge of the disposition of our armies he must know that there is no force capable of breaking his siege within a month's march; and not until the spring. He means to trap us here and force us to fight or starve. We must find a way to drive off his barbarians and disable the juggernaut. I am confident we can dispatch the zombies with the forces we have on hand."
Ajax says "I disagree. Uscis knows of Stasis' plight and it is also likely that he knows it will soon end. He means to strike now."
