"You summoned me?" Aramir? "I'm sending Tacitus away with three quarters of my Tempestatii and half the cavalry. I've decided on a tactic we don't usually resort to, known as Contingency Order 37. We're going to send Ioreth a message saying that if the city does not surrender, we will destroy five royalist-controlled villages and all who dwell within. If she refuses, we do so and demand surrender again, adding that the cycle will repeat until either she does surrender or we run out of villages, at which point we move on to royalist towns, starting with the smallest and working our way upward to the actual cities. Some prominent inhabitants however, are captured and crucified where they can see them from the walls. Barbaric, I know, but war is cruelty and one cannot refine it. The crueler and more total it is the shorter it is. The message is already sent, and I'm simply waiting for a response."
