Editing Feeling Our Way Around (section)

==Meeting with Princess Alasta==
The Princess wants a debrief on yesterday; how did we know about the Walls, etc.  Vidan says we have a Priest of the Goddess, who is skilled at ferreting out such things.  Ah, she is Lore’s servant?  No, she serves the Goddess.  “She’s from Orange,” Vidan explains.  Ah.

Do we have any way of knowing if Mikaekovich was actually from Orange?  Not divine, no, although there were clues that he might not be– the way he introduced himself as from Orange, say.  We found Green spell components, so he could have been Rainbow, which means not from Orange.  Nesh thinks his Saurien wasn’t particularly accented; maybe very slightly closer to Blue than Orange.

The Princess is interested to hear that, though it makes her investigations more difficult.

The Wall was supposed to be in construction for another 6 months; Stella thinks maybe 4 if they kept up the pace they were going on.  So it wasn’t a short term plot.  It’s not clear whether there was a plan for the river.  Princess Alasta indicates that the river is fairly well-defended, they’ve mostly been attacking via land.

We give her a Tarn evidence packet.

Vidan wonders if this wall project is madness; Scout thinks it’s a bit mad to be doing it now, but when it will be useful once it’s done.  It’s probably a Resources country turn draw in a turn or two to make it an applicable defense.  It’s not a bad plan.  Especially if they have any kind of insight that an attack is coming, which, this being Yellow, they might.

It wasn’t Mikhailovich’s idea, but his arrival did make the idea plausible.  Scout wonders if he could have known about it before arriving.  There had been discussion of increased defenses for a few years, since the Comet lit the night sky.  There was debate about whether the wall was the most useful approach, but with his arrival the Wall plan seemed more useful.  Without an Orange mage, we’ll see whether it continues.  Does Stella have any recommendations?  Stella doesn’t off-hand, but her Sister Meraldi would know.  The Princess gets some details and makes plans to speak to her.
