It wasn't because of the fact that the defenses needed strenghtening that he wanted the houses torn down, but to deny enemy archers sniping positions above the barricades. But he simply shrugged and nodded, not bothering to press the point. He had done what he felt he could, and felt his mouth twitch as Maura reacted to the other female making a move on Daminor. He poked the bard with his staff, before tilting his head toward Maura, silently warning him about the threat to his health should he even appear to be considering even entertaining her offer. Before everyone of note left, he rapped his staff on the floor, and added a final note. "Considering the circumstances, I have an ability that I normally don't use that would nevertheless help the city. I can easily create undead, and more powerful than most of similar construction and spell components. I have several that I gathered during our assault on the lizardfolk holding, and will be using them to help plug the first hole to appear. I intend to do this and use the fallen enemy to create more, regardless of what the clerics of Pelor think of this ability. My undead that are created will be immediately destroyed after the city's defense, and will be used as shock troops and to counter enemy charges, blunting their force."<br/><br/>He turned and looked at Tredora, before nodding slightly to her. "I understand that is the sacred duty of the servants of Pelor to destroy all undead, but this is an unusual situation, and if the situation was any less dire, I would not be using this ability. I only ask that all be tolerant of the undead during the fight, and let them lead the attacks."
