Mirada returned a short time after the messengers with the directions to the meeting place had been dispatched, having already reverted to her elven form by the time he saw her. "The morale of the army seems to be fairly high," she reports. "A majority of them seem to be veterans or mercenaries, and the general consensus is that this mobilization is a show of force, intended to aid in their own diplomacy, and not intended to actually lead to a full-scale battle; minor skirmishes, at worst, which is what has happened in some locations. in short, most fo them are not expecting to come to harm, during this encounter."
