[ Someone should tell Cairistiona that she could get other clothes than the ones she has on right now - armor's good and all, but it sure doesn't help her not scare others away. Oh, well. Anyway, she's figured out the device as best as possible and will wave at the camera. ]

From what I've seen during my time here so far as well as what's been going on the network, I have to wonder: How often are training sessions held? And... would anyone care for me as a trainer? I can provide swordsmanship for those who would like to take up a sword as well as defensive maneuvers in combat.

[ No, sorry, she won't teach you how to summon ghouls or gargoyles. B| ]

[ FILTERED FROM ARTHAS MENETHIL ]

To those familiar with the name Arthas Menethil or, if he goes by the title here - the Lich King, could you explain in full what he has done during his time here? The reason I wish to know is that I want to prevent any further Scourge uprisings from happening here as well as try to think of a way to deal with him beyond what has been tried beforehand.

Thank you in advance.

[ FILTERED TO KOLTIRA DEATHWEAVER ]

Are you busy, Koltira? There's something I want to ask.

[busy stressing out over all of these new Azerothians, maybe, but otherwise not so much.]

No. What do you need?

[ She'll bring some tea to help or something. ]

Do we have a runeforge here?

We do not.

Would you want to start to build one for our use and in case if more of us come?

Mmnh. I dislike the thought of more death knights here, but ... a runeforge would be useful. Yes.

... On second thought, I can understand that apprehension towards more of us here.

Though, all right. What do you think we would need?

[Any death knight that comes to Exsilium is his personal responsibility--or at least, that's how Koltira sees it. He would defer only to Highlord Mograine himself, and his presence here seems unlikely. The task of keeping any other death knights in line thus falls to Koltira, and he does not relish having to mind a significant population of them--especially when many of their kind are not nearly so stable and calm as Vyeth, here.]

Metal and stone, mainly. There are plenty of places around this island to collect scrap.

[ Her lips purse together in thought for a few moments as she ponders on her word choice. Sure, having more death knights to show Arthas that they're not meant to be trifled with further would be great, but not very many would have the chance to recover after a bout like the one they were dealt. She'll sigh, but keep her expression mostly hidden for now. ]

Very well, I'll begin scavenging what materials we'll need. Where would you like to build it? I can't imagine the apartments being secure enough should he want to use it, too.

There's a lake where I spend a great deal of my time, and a cabin I built on its shores. We'll construct the forge there.

[...] That I did not think of - alternative housing, that is. How long did it take you to build the cabin?

But, very well. I'll begin working immediately.

[ Quest accepted: Even More Grunt Work. ]

you're another death knight

[ question or statement?? A MYSTERY, brought to you by a complete lack of punctuation. ]

you'll want to ask Koltira about the Lich King, though.

Yes, I am. I take it you haven't seen many of them.

no, i have not. You'd be the third.

What are your plans regarding Arthas?

If you have any questions on how we work, I could answer them to the best of my ability.

[...] Containment, as Thrall's suggested. Beyond that, I haven't planned out much yet, but I intend to make it my priority.

Not yet.

and what would it take to keeps the like of him contained?

Very well.

A lot of dedication, time and power. He is as strong as he is smart and will do whatever it takes to be freed. One must not fall to his whims.

dedication and power may be easier to come by than time. if this is a long-haul duty then you will have to watch whoever your companions in this endeavor are. not all of them will be here for long.

besides, the Initiative has their own plans regarding the transports. Arthas likely included.

[...Alistair is unsure whether he really needs more training in swordsmanship, but there seem to be relatively few people who are forward about actually using it, so...

might as well. Alistair is in his armour, but it's more of a function of being concerned the battle isn't truly over, yet.]

Training sessions seem to be something self-taught here, but if there are a handful of people interested in swordsmanship specifically, I would be pleased to join them in training.

[ Cairistiona will look at Alistair up and down, trying to discern what that armor is made out of and if it needs any further repairs done to it in the future. ]

So I see. Would you care for dusting off the cobwebs if it's been a while for you?

[Wow, rude okay]

Whatever anyone else might tell you about my swordsmanship, I'm not out of practice -- honestly.

[ She ain't trying to offend you. ]

Mm. When would you like for us to meet?

I'm free more or less any time in the next few days, now that the monsters have apparently been taken care of.

[Meliantha's sword-hilt is visible over one shoulder; she does not appear to be wearing any armor at all, actually.]

I would be interested in crossing blades in training. There is often much to learn from one whose methods are not your own.

[ Armor can be quite a few things, ranging from cloth to leather to mail to plate in her world. So, it's not too surprising to see someone not have the typical appearance of it. ]

I agree. When would you like to schedule it?

I usually am in one of the training rooms at...

[She does something to the side of the screen.]

Ah. When this device says 'five oh five" - I try to be there at dawn for my morning exercises. If you wish to join me at any time, please feel free. Or if you have a time you prefer, let me know and I will join you.

I am Meliantha.

I wouldn't mind a duel with a zombie.

[ a pause ]

"Zombie" isn't... offensive, is it? What do you lot prefer to be called, anyway?

[ gurl you are so lucky that Cairistiona has that weird helmet on 'cause she's trying so hard to not show that she's offended. ]

"Zombie" refers to a mindless wretch who will do anyone's bidding as long as they're given remains to feast upon. If you must call me something, call me either "undead" or "Forsaken."

[ Okay, dial the anger down a touch, Cair. She'll take a few moments to recompose herself with a nod when she's ready. ]

With that said, when would you care for a spar?

Didn't mean anything by it; that's just the word we use where I come from. I don't have anything against the undead, believe me. Like you lot better than living humans most of the time, to be frank here.

[ He takes note of her words, and gives a nod. ]

My schedule is open.

[Eddie visibly flinches for a moment, Cairistiona's appearance reminds him vaguely of the Drowning Doom, but as far as he knows, he's the only one from his world here.]

I'm more used to an axe, but I wouldn't mind having a training partner to keep me from getting rusty.

Fellow with the hungry sword? He made a pretty impressive army out of corpses.
