Azathur listened intently to clais' general strategy. It seemed the man had taken quite a few contingencies into account. Azathur couldn't really think of anything off the top of his head to add to the conversation, so he remained silent. Blackvein answered Azathur's demands positively, which was quite enough for the gaunt man. The response he had to Blackvein's explenation of command structure was not much more than an approving grumble.<br/><br/>And then Clais set off on a subject Azathur usually didn't bother with. The image the peasantry and the uniniated held of necromancers, and the difficulties such would bring in discussing alliance against the bloodfountain. Of course, as this was already quite an unusual situation, the proposed solution was also unusual. "Necromancers? carrying a banner? The world as we know it realy is coming to an end" He half-joked.<br/><br/>Finally, he decided it was time to finalize his part of the agreement. "I do suppose your proposal sounds like it will benefit us all."<span style="font-style: italic">and me in particular if I paly my cards right</span>Azathur thought to himself. Really, he had always gained power by being in the shadow of greater necromancers, subtly scheming such that the outcome would always benefit him.<br/><br/>Azathur wondered if Blackvein, or any of the other members of the agreement, would ever catch on to this schemin. Then again, even if they did, he'd probably still be of more use alive than dead.
