Draiss grinned, and nodded his understanding, before taking the scroll and examining it, before bringing up the holdings given to him by Lloth. He grimaced slightly, for show, as there were three fortresses between his territory and it, and one of them was one that he didn't want to attack yet. The only problem was it was the center of the three, and trying to get supply lines around it was both suicidal and insane. However, it was also an outpost loyal to one of the few 'True' demon lords, who was at least a minor deity in its own right. He enlarged the map, and pointed out the logistic and tactical problems of taking it as it was. "I could take that area, and it would pull your orcs out to do even more raiding, but the problem is this fortress, as it was one that I had intended to ignore until I had no other choice. I am sure you can see why I would do that, and why I would need to attack if I accepted this territory. While it would allow you to move most of your defenders out to raiding, except for the few that would have to stay to man the fortresses, in exchange for several squads of veteran line warriors and heavies, I am not sure I can hold that area myself currently. I would love this area, as it gives me a pair of portals to areas I was planning on dealing with eventually, but..."<br/><br/>He shrugged, staring at the map with an expression that was slowly going from trying to find a reason to do it, to resignation on not accepting it. He was playing it for all he could, seeing if he could get more from the other god.
