*Dralen listened silently as she finished up her speech, then raised his hands in mock defeat.*<strong>I for one, am all against black powder use. Think about it though. Can an arrow fly fast enough to hit a Balverine when fired by just any person? This is the reason I even consider anything other than will when fighting balverines. It gives EVERY one of my people a chance against one of the quick beasts. I simply can't have them blowing my concentration away during battle so I silenced them. As for the will-rings, I've had my fair share of experimentation. Enough so that I KNOW they can be extended into a 6 circles of 6 with 5 extra. I've not had enough users of my own to get more than two of the required circles.</strong>*He lowered his hands on the tables. His eyes followed the grain of the wood as he thought.*<em>Reaver was one of the four. He is long past his time. Surely we can take some paltry sum from him. He probably has twice that holed up somewhere. Squabbling over money, what fools. Here I have a very real threat to my people. I can't leave to hunt the source for fear I won't be back by nightfall. We have hit a diamond vein in our liquid silver mine, but that's our ace in the hole. Much too early for that.</em>*He sighed and leaned back into his chair, pulling out a block of wood. He began carving a crude shape of one of the fairies of old that used to turn children into hobbes. (The little blue orb in Darkwood, in Fable:The Lost Chapters)*<strong>That is all I have to say. I have no wish to argue and debate anymore than I have.</strong>
