TIME FOR CIVIC DUTIES
...now with dead people.

Unhalad’s undead forces return from the mines, where some workers were stranded because of a snow avalanche at the start of the month. The convoy numbers around 21 undead and eight miners — chained, drained, unable to fight and midway in their transformation to undead.

The group is attacked close to the forest outskirts by eight of Anurr’s undead and nine allied forest inhabitants (some close to undeath, some human).

There will be multiple clashes spread over a two-day span (17-18 May), as Unhalad’s forces are repeatedly blocked from making headway. They benefit from higher numbers of proper undead, while Anurr’s assailants have a better understanding of the lay of the land and more opportunity to camouflage in the forest. Anurr’s forces are visibly more strategic in their attacks; Unhalad’s rely more on brute strength, but also seek to defend the miners.

The brawls take place a 10-minute walk from the farmhouse. Characters will be able to see and hear the interaction, and Haltham will also alert them of the squabble and urging them to think wisely of how they want to respond.

Please comment to this post with how your character(s) would vote on whether to help Unhalad, support Anurr, stay out of everything, or propose your own mystery option #4 by midday, 12:00 PM GMT @ 19 May (Wednesday).

There will be no mod-led posts, but you are welcome to make your own posts/logs — including one for characters to discuss their decision ICly, if you want to! And front/postdate as you need to.

Don’t let it get to you, but this decision will influence characters' alignment in the Sa-Hareth conflict and their upcoming missions. No pressure!

You can now imagine that Wei Wuxian was watching this in his moving around the citadel, from under his cloak, keeping a mental diary of notes the whole time. (Then telling Lan Wangji later because he's fascinated at this, really, they're still processing all this fine?!)
