Offence is the best defence

Reima taps his armrest, "Alright, let's begin." he says, looking around the room before focussing on Ciaran.

Ciaran steps forwards and addresses the room, "As you all know, I was recently captured by a Vampire by the name of Vasile and held captive, fortunately, I met the Sorceress Margarita who with the assistance of some others, helped me escape.

Our first portal was made in desperation, resulting in us being left on the ruins of Aretuza, the magical academy on the Thanedd island. After a violent confrontation with some Nilfgaardian soldiers, we found refuge in a cave before Margarita was well enough to use another portal... With this I took the chance to investigate the nearby city of Caelf, and uncovered something rather dire...

Nilfgaard has allied with the Vampires and rallied their army, which is now heading for Ichor as we speak." she states, causing everyone in the room to frown.

Quelana "Hmm, maybe my sister was right? They'd not be able to annoy use further if they were all ash."

Asgore "Do you know what their forces specifically are?" he asks, resting his elbow on his armrest and his chin on his fist.

Ciaran shakes her head, "All I know is that they intend to destroy us, they know of our capabilities and are likely bringing a number of Elder Vampires to increase their chances of victory."

Reima shrugs, "The only troublesome thing is the Elder's, I doubt Nilfgaard have anything threatening other than them... Sure, they've got mages, but most of them are weak and forgettable."

Solaire nods, "Quantity of Quality is their strategy, one that doesn't work all that well when considering the lives that'll be lost."

Iorveth "So, what's the plan? Just muster all our men and meet them on the fields of battle?"

Reima hums, "No... I was thinking of just dealing with them myself-"

Quelana "What?"

Geralt "No way."

Yennefer "Absolutely not."

...

Reima sighs, "You guys know I'm supposed to be in charge around here right?" he mutters.

Yennefer leans forwards, "Of course we know, I just refuse to let you go off on your own to fight an army and potentially many Elder Vampires!"

Geralt nods, "You're powerful, no doubt about that, but I doubt they'd be coming to fight us without a plan to deal with you."

Ciri "I don't know, I think Rei can handle it... It's not like they know everything about him, even if they did, what can they do against their own men being turned against them?" she says, reminding everyone of Reima's use of Humanity.

Solaire "I agree with Miss Ciri, our friend is more than capable of handling some petty thieves hoping to steal what we've built."

Undyne "Ooohh! These talks are getting me FIRED UP! Asgore! Let me go fight them!" she exclaims.

Asgore "Calm yourself... I am in favour of sending our King alone, not only does he have the best chance of ending this conflict before it even starts, but he has the capabilities of escaping should something go wrong... I think this is the best case for everything, our warriors and citizens alike."

Yennefer sends a look at Geralt who just sighs and shrugs... "Looks like we've been outvoted..." he says quietly to her, receiving a glare inturn.

Reima "Hmm, alright... Do you know where the army is currently?" he asks, wondering how much time they have left.

Ciaran "Last I heard they were in Aedirn, taking into account how quickly a large scale army travels... I think they should be between Vergen and Ban Glean." she says, slightly unsure as she had no reference to what the army was actually comprised of.

Reima raises a brow, "That far? They must've been planning this for a while then, probably before I killed Emhyr..."

Ciri "Atleast he got what he deserved... Becoming a doormat." she says with a smirk, a few others in the more chuckling at the thought.

Reima claps his hands, "Then, I think we're in agreement... I'll go stop the army, you all should prepare the troops in-case something unexpected happens, be ready for an attack at any moment, and don't relax until I return... Understand?" he says, the others nodding and exitting the room and leaving on Reima, Solaire, Ciaran and Ciri left inside.

Solaire "Are you sure you don't wish for me to come my friend? I'm sure it'd bee jolly good fun." he says.

Reima shakes his head, "I need you here in-case the Vampires try a backdoor attack while I'm out... WIth you and Regis I doubt there'll be any problems."

Ciri "I'd want to come, but I know I'd be in over my head... Getting punted by an Elder Vampire hurts..." she mutters, rubbing her chest where the scar still rests.

Reima "If you were paying attention you might've been able to dodge it... Regardless, I need to thank you for picking up the slack while I was gone, I doubt Asgore would still be standing if it was just him doing all the work."

Ciri shrugs, "I couldn't really sit back and do nothing could I? I'm assuming you're going to leave immediately?" she asks.

Reima nods, "Yeah, no point wasting time... I just wanna get this over with and sit in a jacuzzi or something."

Ciri "You better come back in one piece then." she says, stepping forth and giving a peck on his lips before turning to Ciaran, "And you, have two people waiting for you." she says, grabbing her and flashing away.

Reima looks at Solaire and grins, "Sorry bro, I'm sure we'll have another chance to fight an army off together another time." he says, fist-bumping him before blinking away.

Solaire "Of course my friend! Go and teach those fiends not to get too close to the sun!"
