The Army Marches On|Haven, Ilyamen

[Kender Bard]

A swarm of Minds, flanked and followed by a ragtag group of elementals, marches around the gates of Ilyamen. In the interest of keeping the peace, the gates have been barred to them, but they're causing quite a stir regardless.

"What do we want?!" One of the Minds shouts.

"Freedom!" the group shouts back.

"Who do we need to stop?!"

"The Clears!"

"When do we start liberating ourselves?"

"NOW!"

[wesker]

Collin worms his way over. He casually talks to someone one with any spark in their eyes to their cause.
"So...what's going on?"

[Kender Bard]

The man, an Earth type, grins widely and says with passion, "We're going to help the Minds rescue their master, and in the process, wipe out a bunch of slaving Clears!!"

[Kender Bard]

Talon, who was up ahead scouting, scurries back to the group and reports, "The army is at the gates of Ilyamen. Looks like they're causing quite a fuss."

[Northen Light36]

"Well, let's go talk to them," Amaro replies and calmly leads the group towards the army, only to snort in disgust at the sight of it. "Army? It looks more like a disorganised rabble to me," he mutters.
"I think you might be being too kind," mutters Acqua in reply.

[Kender Bard]

"Regardless, it's good enough for our purposes," Taurus points out. "Calim and I will go talk to the Minds and let them know what we know. The rest of you try to get the elemental followers stirred up. Try to get Lessa to help you too."
"But don't let her get hurt," Calim was quick to put in, then blushes. ~Tome you better stay out of the way for now. These guys look like they're out for blood and they're not going to stop to make sure you're a nice guy first.~

[iamtuo]

Tom nods in understanding and moves to sit in the back of his own wagon to keep out of view while Lessa moves to sit in the drivers seat.

"I'll stay here. I wont let anyone harm my father. Besides, I would prefer to stay away from such disorganized rabble."

[Northen Light36]

"Well what use are you then?" mutters Acqua under her breath before slipping easily into the crowd and picking out a boy roughly her age to stir up a bit. "Large group," she remarks to him. "What are you all gathered here for?"

[Kender Bard]

"We're going to crush the Clears," the boy says enthusiastically. "It's going to be great!"

[Northen Light36]

"But, there aren't any Clears in Ilyamen are there?" asks Acqua, faking a confused look. "I mean, I heard there was a group of them near The Great River, but I haven't heard there were any here... Shouldn't you be going to where there are Clears if you want to beat them?"

[Kender Bard]

The Earth type frowns and nods, and replies "Yeah, but first we're thinking of getting as many elementals as we can. Still.. I'm really itching to get in on the action."

[Northen Light36]

Acqua looks around, apparently thoughtfully. "Looks like you've got a lot already," she remarks. "I bet there's enough Elementals here to beat any number of Clears. Maybe you should suggest to the leader that it's time to go teach the Clears a lesson they won't forget?"

[Kender Bard]

The earth elemental frowns in thought, then nods and heads towards the group of Minds. At nearly the same time, a Fire type and an Ice type join suit, and Alethia and Talon flash each other knowing grins.

The minds, who were busy with Taurus and Calim, turn to address the elementals. The two Minds rejoin the group.
"They want to know if we'll come with them," Calim reports.

[Northen Light36]

Amaro looks thoughtful then glances around at everyone else. "What do you all think? Should we?"

[Kender Bard]

Calim nods his head and Taurus shakes his. They frown at each other pointedly.

Alethia glances at Acqua and Talon nods his head so eagerly one would think his teeth were going to rattle.
