Do not approach the undead if you do not know how to fight them - these are more dangerous than the ones we have met before.

We need two groups. With me, trained fighters who are confident in decapitation.

With others, those that are trained enough that they can protect and move those of you who are not.

Do not take the undead lightly. Do not risk yourself needlessly. We have healers among us - seek them if you are wounded.

Who will come to hunt?

Master Lan.

Let me make myself clear. I do not wish to kill the creature, or relish its demise. But I do not value its life above every other innocent life in this tower.

I will kill the undead, and buy you and the others all the time I can. I will cede it’s fate into your hands. But there is a line after which we have no choice, and I have no intention of making sacrifices of lives to the beast.

If Eleven has another way, I will do all I can to let him try.

Am I clear?

[downswing]

As fresh ice.

[jeoha]

Then we have an understanding.

Good luck.

[downswing]

How much time do you give?

[jeoha]

Until we can no longer sustain a siege.

Or it starts swallowing people from the walls.

[downswing]

It need not feed of humans.

[jeoha]

If may need not, but that doesn’t mean it will not.

Would feeding it soothe it?

[downswing]

Its territory was assaulted.

[jeoha]

[ A little wryly: ]

I will take that as a "no, that is very unlikely" and pretend I didn't hear "you idiot" at the end of it.

[downswing]

( And a little warmer: )

I would not presume.

[jeoha]

Master Lan, you are one of the few people in existence from whom I would allow that presumption.

But I appreciate your defense of my ego.

[downswing]

Some name me abrasive.

[jeoha]

And some may be right. [ A hint of amusement. ]

But I have never known you to say something you did not believe, or twist your words to suit the ear rather than the truth.

Trust is a hard won thing. But you have never given me a reason not to cede it to you.

So, you are allowed your abrasion.

[downswing]

And you, your hunt. Aim well.

[jeoha]

Good luck.
