[Video Post;]
[Is that a--? Yes, that would appear to be a crow, blinking into the camera of a Network device.

There are the branches barren winter trees all around it, snow in the air, and the sounds of labor and stone in the background. The crow looks over its shoulder (in that moment revealing a glimpse far below and behind of the Drowning Pool and the work going on in the middle of it). It turns back to the camera.]

My lord's plan proceeds apace!

[If a crow can grin, it seems almost to grin. A peck at the screen--peck!--and the video snaps back into darkness.]
[//video post ends]

[ooc: Cut for a large image of a crow's face. Another anonymous post! From a mysterious talking crow this time. Yes. Theo...darling, honey, sweetie... Yes, he's trolling you. Sry2say. But, hey, anyone can guess anything about a comment like that, now, can't they?]

My lord, I have. A thousand apologies.

[ooc: lmao meant that to be video--my bad!]

[OOc: No worries]

No apologies are necessary. Everyone's been busy.

Quite so. Quite so. As clearly my lord has been too. I have kept watch, my lord, so carefully.

[Of course he knows these are a different set of monsters, zombies, ghouls, whatever one wishes to call them, from the ones Theo called up those weeks ago. But it's the game that matters.]

And have you seen anything interesting, oh battle watcher?

[Yes. Yes. And Theo has been busy with those ghouls. Just not creating them.]

[Hoarse, cawing crow-laughter for a moment...]

Many things, my lord. Many things. I have seen these beasts fight tooth and nail with a ferocity that one would scarce believe. They fight as though hell and chaos were behind them always. And perhaps they are, my lord, perhaps they are. They will bite at the very throats of those who would stand against them. They bring disease and madness with them, my lord, and death. They bring fever as they come howling like wolves for blood. But I have seen fire sweep across a battalion of these beasts only to have ten times over more spring up from the ashes. They are divided and yet they multiply, my lord. I have seen them beaten and crushed and so they fall. I have seen their hearts cut out and so they fall too, my lord.

But now they are yoked and now they serve, tirelessly, there beneath the surface of the waters. Perhaps water will tame them where fire could not destroy them, my lord. Perhaps.

Or perhaps they will decay under the water and spawn some more. Just at a later date.

Even so, my lord, say true.

I just wish I could put them to rest.

[He bites his lip nervously.]

[He tilts his head curiously, those nigh-mechanical movements of a bird. Of course he knows better, but still, the game:]

My lord cannot?

Annoyingly.

[What's the point of being a powerful necromancer if you can necromance?]

My lord has all my sympathy, though little good it might do.

It is appreciated.

I suppose that I could just wash my hands of it and say they're not my responsibility.

It is true. Will my lord do so?

Probably.

Even so, my lord.

Even so, I dislike it. The undead are my responsibility. At least that's how I was raised.

They were raised too. Let us not forget that.

Yes, but in a different way.

[Well.............at least he got the joke...even if he didn't laugh.]

Quite so, my lord.

((ooc: fascinatingly you need to actually hit post comment for the comment to post.))

[Well he smiled a little. He's just not quite in the mood.]

I suppose all that can be done is to wait and watch.

As my lord so advises.

[ooc: A radical concept--it's escaped me a few times, myself. So no worries~]
