"Because we have no choice but to try," Karolina replied. "The resistance here is bare bones, there aren't enough Elves this far north of the Great Sea for us to be able to rely on their aid, and as for the other races...I don't see any of them agreeing to help us."<br/><br/>"Then we should leave now," Vennar said, smacking his hand against the table. "It is only a matter of time before the guard figure out we were the ones plotting, if we leave now we can lessen the amount of time the people of this city will suffer."<br/><br/>"There is no 'we' Vennar," Karolina said, turning to look at Vennar. "I know you imagine yourself a great liar, but...This journey would be a test for a healthy young man, and it doesn't take a genius to realise you are not a well man." She sighed as she sensed Vennar's stubborn side taking over. "Daric, I know you know less about this mission than I do, but do you honestly believe Vennar is capable of travelling north in this condition."
