Alice turned back to look towards Marwen. "Here is fine. Oh!" She looked up towards the sky, as if there was suppose to be something to see. "He'll be here in a bit. Seems he went and lazied about the area while we were all discussing stuff." Crossing her arms, Alice lowered her head and shut her eyes, shaking her head in mock disappointment. "Such a problem child."

Within about half an hour, a small procession of people in somewhat more utilitarian garb than you've seen around come up the road, hauling a cart along with them. They seem to have fairly uniform styles, though no specific uniform save for a hammer and anvil insignia of the Forgelord's disciples. ""All we could spare on such short notice. I hope you've a damn good reason for having us pull it out of our inventory in the middle of the night Pelorite, Seropeanen business or not."
Marwen nods with a wry smile. "I wouldn't have bothered if it weren't dire, Farghlan. We'll see to it that the Forgelord's folks are reimbursed from Seropeanan coffers soon enough anyway. How much did you actually bring?" "Two containers, each fifty by fifty by twenty marks. First one's got what we could spare of raw materials, five steel stacks, four bronze, two of granite, and twenty plates of iron. The other is an asortment of tools, weapons, mostly mundane items and a few discarded projects; the latter are fit for repurposing and reforging, but weren't doing any good in their current state."

Alice was entirely absorbed in her thoughts as the half hour passed, and besides saying that there was apparently suppose to be some one showing up soon, there wasn't any sign of new company until the group of people hauling the cart showed up. Excitement lit up Alice's face as she bounced over to the cart and promptly started going through it herself. "Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Yes, hmm, alright, I guess I can do with this. Thanks Sparkly-Lady!" She said but without even turning to look at Marwen nor the people who'd brought the stuff. "Well I'm ready to leave now."
As she finished a sudden thunderclap went off above and behind most of the waiting group followed by the sound of roughly a dozen tons of metal landing without much finesse. Standing in the square now and in an attempt to appear majestic was a dragon clearly made of a golden-hued series of metals which entirely dwarfed everyone nearby including almost some of the surrounding buildings. Its attempt at a majestic pose didn't last much more than a few seconds after though as it promptly slumped and curled up on the ground, its face looking towards Alice and company. Alice hardly acted as if she'd noticed any of the commotion, but only turned her attention away from her cart of stuff to play with after the dragon had settled down and curled up lazily. "I needed something to carry all this out afterall." She comments with a wide, cheery smile. "That includes you people." She twirled about and fell to lie down in the cart near the edge where she hung her arms out and looked at them with an expecting look.

Nars took a step into the cart, taking in hand a sword with a gold hilt from one of the containers. "Excellent Craftsmanship to be sure." He said as he swung the blade getting a feel for it. He turned over to the rest of the group, not at all paying attention to the metal dragon that flew in. "So is everyone ready then? I am sure some of us are eager to leave as soon as possible."

"Of course, I was just admiring the craftsmanship. I have no use for any of this regardless." Nars said as he stepped off the cart. "Not sure what use some of this will be but who knows what lies ahead." He chuckled to himself.

After seeing to the notification of his people, 'William' left the Temple of Nuitari and found himself in front of an assortment of spellcasters, fighters, assassins, spies, and craftsmen, all either prepared for a long journey with their equipment and/or prepared for battle. After the Lords of this group saluted him, 'William' turned towards the cathedral, letting his shadows billow out from him, allowing his troops to move unhampered throughout the city. When arriving at the Cathedral Square he draws the shadows back within himself. Approximately 7,000 men and women dressed in the aforementioned regalia appeared out of the shadows. With 'William' and Court at the front. 'William' glanced at the supplies and at Marwen. "A large amount of supplies I see. I wonder did you manage to find some coin for my men? I would surely hope so. Please," he motions to a man dressed in an ornate set of black and gold robes, "Talk to Kassyr here, he will be more that willing to work with you on the details. I'm sure he can negotiate the best deal."
'William' turns towards the rest of the group. "Well it seems Miss Daziel has brought a fine construct to the city. I presume that is our transport? Are we walking into the dragon's belly as they say? I sure hope its more comfortable than the last one I saw. I believe we are just waiting for our esteemed friends from Vaylis."

Alice rolled over in the cart, her head hanging over the edge and looking at William upside-down. "That baby is just the little brother giving us a ride to pops, actually." She slowly ran her eyes from one side of the mass of people William had appeared with to the other side, estimating a count. She let out of long whistle upon finishing and putting her eyes back on William in the front. "I get to provide haven for all of them and in return get to utilize them as necessary for this little trip to save your-their home?" She asks him eagerly, but continues with her thoughts out loud rather than wait for an answer. "Hmm, I'm gonna need to clear one of the hangers...and...yeah I think we can do it in one trip."

'William' smiles. "Miss Daziel, you can ask them if they would like to help you, but they are a long way from home, so don't pressure them into working. Imagine being exiled from your home, would you want to have someone boss you around while on a journey to save it? So if there are any who might be willing to help you out they can. But please don't use them, they are people after all, and not gears or mechanical pieces." 'William' bends over to talk to Alice more directly, and so only those nearest her might be able to hear. "I can see you are quite skilled with machines and the arcane arts. I have always wondered what might happen if the powers of machines might work well or differently under the influence of shadow magic or other planar abilities. Would you be interested in experimenting in that area?"

Alice tilts her head at William's proposal and stares at him for a few moments before rolling back onto her stomach and propping herself up on her elbows. "Alice is always open to alternatives. So far I've been limited to only arcane stuff cause of the guys currently employing Alice. I've already got a sort of grasp on harnessing more planar means as power, but I can't say I've gone anywhere yet with shadow magic." She suddenly seemed to have actual interest in William finally as she just kept on talking. "As well possibilities on working with entirely zero magical aid has been mulling about in my head but I've so far been quite preoccupied to do much with any thing, so far." She paused now and let out a playful chuckle. "Mayhaps you'll be allowed to play in my workshop should this go anywhere, when the time is available that is. In the mean time, you're going to notice I'm far beyond just 'quite skilled' with my machines. Prepare for a doozy, good Will-Ee-Am."

Kaja's jaw barely managed to stay in place as the mechanical dragon loomed over her. She noticed several thousand people creep up on the group, but paid no mind as she walked towards the dragon with her hands held up in front of her. "Amazing... This is far beyond anything we have in Teshesai..." She placed a gloved hand on the creature's metallic hide. "I am experiencing a strange urge to climb him..."

The dragon didn't really move much in response to the cat's approach nor to when she touched it. However at her comment about wanting to climb it, a click was heard followed by a series of gears moving as one of its wings fully extended outward and started to adjust itself into a set of stairs that lead up to its back. "Like I was saying," Alice chimed in, glancing over towards Kaja. "Are we going or what?"

Honestly, Nars could not help but quietly adore the cat girl. It was adorable. Of course, any sign of this was hidden behind his creepy grin. Nars approached the stairs on the dragon and walked up to the top. "Yes, I believe we are all ready."

After taking a moment to smile in admiration at the mechanical prowess that Alice brought to them, she nodded her head and said, "Yes, I believe that I am ready now." She climbed the stairs, glancing around at various metal machinery that comprised the dragon and paying little attention to anything else outside of the marvel before her.
