closed | project meeting

FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Vandelin Elris
RECIPIENT: Members of the Hostile Powers project who are not currently imprisoned
WHAT: Conference call to discuss recent events
WHEN: After people have returned from Tevinter
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: None

Enchanter Averesch and I-- [Because damned if Vandelin is going to dispense with formalities and titles just because he was told to.] --thought it best that we all confer about our collective priorities in the aftermath of Corypheus' assault. Priorities, strategies, suggestions for what we can each individually do.

Are we all met?

Mm.

[ That's a not a terrible idea mm. ]

How would you transport food to them?

As in seeds? By griffon, I'd think. Fill up the saddlebags, fly in seeds. You could fit a lot in, and the griffons wouldn't be likely to try to twist themselves around in circles wanting to snack on them.

Is it seeds they lack for? I would expect water and arable land to be the problem.
justice_is_blond: (Actually let's go with that idea)

Likely it's water and arable land, yes. But you asked about food.

[There's a short pause as he thinks.]

We could equally use the griffons for flying water? Not a great deal, though. Water's heavy. Let me think on what we could do for water, other than transporting mages who can make a lot of ice which would melt rather quickly.

I've no idea if there's anything to be done about the land. Animal excrement helps, but to get a large enough quantity to make any sort of actual difference would be miserable for everyone involved.

Isn't most of what they produce likely going to feed the army?

Likely. But they've also likely no idea they have any options there. If we reach out to them and give them an alternative while offering support, it could give us an inroad.

We need allies on the inside. They need stability so the country doesn't starve.
