Yellow silently stands and salutes the Commander distractedly. She leaves the tent, following Undril out — doggedly looking at the ground to not make eye contact with anyone — and heads toward one of the water barrels.
Kaslo turns his attention to Vyth and gives him a hard stare. "Ye keep yer hands to yerself, and we won't have any problems, aye?"
Then returning his attention to the Command table, "Commander Breakbone, are there any maps of the area where this Undead Lair is located? I realize Panwan will likely be all the map we require, however it's sometimes beneficial to have general idea of what's where."

Commander Breakbone points to the map on the table. "We are here."He says as he points to Camp Vengeance. He shows you the red trail leading south along the river near the Aldani Basin. "This is where the lair is located. I will have a copy of this map made for you by the morning."
The Commander nods and looks at Kvothe. "I wish to speak with you in the morning Kvothe. I thank you for saving my man and you will be rewarded as promised. Go eat something and sleep for the night. We will all talk in the morning and make plans for the coming mission."
Ezio stands and says, "This has all been rather...enlightening." He says the last while looking at Eku with an unreadable expression, "I look forward to discussing this mission in detail tomorrow." He then bows and steps out of the tent into the darkness of the night.
Come, Ulcahne.
A black cat peels off from the side of the tent like a shadow come to life and falls into step with Ezio as he heads to his tent.
Thank you for restoring his hand Eku, he is young and brash and a little thick headed still. Taggart bows to Eku and leaves the tent. He will look outside to see if yellow is around and needs anything else, if he doesn’t see her he will retire to his tent.

The Commander gathers everyone back into the Command Tent early in the morning as the sun makes its way into the sky, the humidity is out of control. You can feel the sweat dripping down your backs already. You were able to get a good nights sleep and you were all so exhausted from the long day that you slept through the undead attack in the wee hours of the morning before sunrise.
There are fresh fruits and eggs placed on the table with a fresh pitcher of Ice Water for everyone. "Please everyone, I hope you have enjoyed your night's sleep. Have some breakfast, We have a bunch of things to discuss this morning."
Excuse me Commander Ezio says, "Earlier yesterday you mentioned that consecrating theground was a secondary objective to pursue if it was within our means. Taggart's suggestion at that time that we invade the lair with the help of your forces was a good one and you agreed to it." Looking around the room to catch the eyes of the others, "I suggest we retrieve this holy water, return here, and then move to the lair with a larger force. It may do us some good to reconnoiter the lair before returning to the camp as well"
"The objectives have changed. You will find the tube and escort Panwan into the lair where he can perform the ritual to cleanse the grounds and destroy the undead. We don't have the time or the resources at the moment to be running back and forth. You are supposed to be adventurers. So get adventuring. The Order is not afraid to die fighting the injustices of the world while trying to save the innocent lives of the Chultans. Are you? Are you afraid to die Mr. Ezio?"
The Commander goes over to his desk and pulls out a long map case and hands it to Kaslo. "Here is the copy of the Map I promised you. I hope it helps."He turns to Kvothe. "So what's your story friend? how did you come about my slaughtered patrol in the middle of the jungle by yourself? I am grateful that you did and saved my man but it is curious."
In reply to the commander's question Ezio says, "Certainly, if that death is for a cause not my own and I have little concern for injustices and innocent Chultans. I have seen much evil in my four decades, much more than any number of your men could hope to face let alone myself. Therefore I chose to fight on my terms and for myself." Ezio paused to allow his words to sink in. "Fortunately for us both, this undead lair and the information you are promising on the Death Curse are, admittedly, my largest lead thus far, so our interests align. However, I am troubled that you reneged on your earlier agreement to provide additional soldiers for this effort. This agreement you mean for us to come to relies heavily on your word and our ability to trust you'll do as you say." Ezio sits back gracefully and comfortably as he sips his ice water and awaits the commander's reply.
Having used a prestidigitation to cool his jacket earlier, he is not as bothered by the heat as some others, though is skin is somewhat uncomfortable due to the insect repellent he applied after waking.
"I am not Reneging on my offer to send help. You are getting Panwan to help you." He points to Panwan and Panwan gives a nod. "I am sure he will be more than capable of helping with any dangers that befall you. I did say he was my best man. His powers rival none that I know of. And since you yourself just said that you've seen more evil in your four decades than any of my men and have lived to tell the tale, I'm sure you are a capable warrior."
Ezio smiles roguishly and says, "You misquote my words, commander, but they are accurate nonetheless. Your man will do then."
"On the matter of weapons and supplies, I would like my armor upgraded to add studs or revits for additional protection. It would also be highly beneficial to our ability to gather information if I could be provided with some components I need for a spell. It requires incense, herbs, and a brass brazier. One set of the components is worth about 10 gold and 5 such sets would be sufficient for my needs."
Alright never mind....

Yessss, I apologize for any missssunderstanding....
Assss a token of good will you can have thissss, I crafted it mysssself....
Vyth will hand Kaslo a potion of healing and then bow before heading out of the room.
Krav scratches the back of his head with his left hand as he watches Vyth go, then turns his attention back to the Commander.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Vyth will take watch and look for any creatures in the jungle: 10

"Excellent. This will come in useful."
Kaslo yawns. "Commander, it's been a long day, if that is all for tonight, I will take my leave."
The Commander nods and looks at Kvothe. "I wish to speak with you in the morning Kvothe. I thank you for saving my man and you will be rewarded as promised. Go eat something and sleep for the night. We will all talk in the morning and make plans for the coming mission."

Obviously very tired, Krav says an awkward goodbye as he follows Kaslo out.
He'll look for an empty or near-empty tent (definitely not one of the captains'), and, if successful, set up his bedroll and catch some z's.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Kvothe nods to the commander and leaves the Command tent looking for a tent of his own.

Vyth will apply insect repellent and quietly eat his food observing what is going on.
Ezio smiles roguishly and says, "You misquote my words, commander, but they are accurate nonetheless. Your man will do then."
