It was late afternoon, and well into the evening, when their small meeting finally ended, and the course for their future was set. Damian had done his best, without revealing more than what was already known about him, to help prepare for what was to come. The plan was ready, and they would execute it at dawn the next day. That was the fastest they could mobilize the entire army.
Damian handed his iron golem to the runesmith, as it needed to be as strong as possible. In addition, the runesmith promised to craft some equipment for Damian, since he would be fighting as well. Damian noticed the change in the beastman runesmith's attitude but, with bigger things to worry about, he had no time to dwell on it. After giving instructions and the list of spells he wanted, Damian, along with Vidalia, dismissed the runesmith, allowing him to return to his forge.
