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?

[ There's a pause, and then in a cooler if still polite voice: ]

Sect Leader Jiang.

Others are already in the tunnels, or are preoccupied with the dragon.

[ Look both his parents didn't die bloody for people to go around calling him anything but Sect Leader. He'd love to have his parents instead of this title, but what he's got is the title so he's gonna fucking have it. ]

...Wei Wuxian better not be preoccupied with the—

[ Jiang Cheng realizes in that moment with sudden, dawning horror that Wei Wuxian is 100% preoccupied with the fucking dragon. ]

—I have to go. Where are we meeting? I will be there. I have to—

I believe Master Wei is working on controlling some of the undead. [ There's no hint of how Lee Chang feels about this, if he feels anything. He's had lots of practice in keeping emotion out of his voice. ]

The Banquet Hall.

Do you require assistance?

Not unless you can help me beat sense into my brother—

Sect Leader Jiang.

[ Hi, he pulled out the Regal Tone TM for this. ]

Master Wei has proven to me that though his techniques are - [ a pause ] - unconventional - he is doing what he believes will do the most good in the time we are currently given. Wasting our energy attempting to dissuade him will take our focus from that which must be done.

If we can clear the undead that he has not controlled, we will be in a better position to help him and the others - the sooner, the better. I trust Master Wei and Master Lan to do what they must, as well as they can. Let us do the same.

He's always doing what he believes—

[ Jiang Cheng is multitasking. He is bitching about his brother while sprinting, something he has quite a lot of practice doing. ]

He's died doing it and it sounds like he's fixing to do it again and I'm going to kill him—

[jeoha]

[ Lee Chang lets out a long breath, steadying himself. He wants to go straight into command mode, and has to remind himself he doesn't have that power, here.

There are things he misses about home. ]

He believes that killing the undead may release spiritual energies that the necromancers can reuse. [ Just gonna talk business I guess. ]

Are you also versed in such things?

[consignation]

[ There's the distinct sound of Jiang Cheng tripping over his own feet, narrowly avoiding going sprawling. ]

No, but— I mean yes, but not in the way—

It's dangerous!!
