Draiss thanked the priestess for the tour, before pleading exhaustion and retiring back to his room. He then sent out orders, having to really fight to get them out through the disturbances, but the gist was that the teleportation circle in Dragon's Roost was to be shut down until the Astral disturbances had settled, and all outposts guarding portals to the beyonder realms were to engage full war mode, and turtle down. He added he knew he was likely telling them what they already knew and had done, but wanted to ensure it.<br/><br/>He sighed, having not wanted to play that card just yet, but loosing an outpost was worse than playing a card early. It was a hidden function in all shadow stalkers and death squads, that would have them activate secondary functions which would increase their armor and weapon efficiency, at the expense of maneuverability, speed, and would also increase how fast their power cores drained. They would go from almost two months of not needing a recharge to about a week. Luckily all the outposts had recharge stations inside of them, and the survey teams wouldn't need to activate full war mode, so their lack of ability to be recharged was a non-issue. He simply lay down after finishing his orders, and channeled the rest of his spells inward, boosting his healing function. After a moment, a sigh issued forth, worried about his mate, consorts, children, and followers, but they would just have to endure. Daminor, Maura, Tysinni's father, Lord Jarmaath and his wife, as well as his high priests and priestesses would be briefed on the issues by shadow stalkers shortly, if only to explain why the constructs had suddenly gotten a lot more intimidating.
