Action by Violet

The Crimson Blades have come to the defense of the Fluffybottom's and the Lodge of Petrichor. It is the least that can be done after what happened earlier in the year. At their head is a determined and fierce Violet. Though she sleeps, her watch is almost constant. Whether on patrols she herself takes with a unit or standing atop the watchtower, spyglass in hand, watching. Waiting. Feeling.

Working with the Chapterhouse of the Fluffybottoms and the King's Own, only those who can push past their incredulity work closely with the animals. Others are set to scouting and keeping a moving scout perimeter of concentric circles. Violet doesn't wish to leave anything to chance.

The ballistae are ready, but one is kept in reserve and capable of moving to reinforce other defenses if needed. Those of the Fluffybottoms who are willing are welcomed to work with the scouts, hopefully extending the hours of watch well into dark and well before dawn. Signal arrows that trail colorful ribbon or give off different screams are with every scout, ready to alert that the enemy is near.

Action by Harlex

Harlex has been preparing for a long while it seems. His armor, his diamondplated sword, all provisions made toward the singular purpose he has set him to in this crisis--to meet the enemy and drive them back with everything he has and is. Since Violet is present, sending out orders from the command tent and leading patrols, he must only make sure his soldiers in Scarlet Company are keeping with the plan.

He's heard good things about the knightly Fluffybottoms and knows the talents of the King’s Own are up to snuff. So all that's left for him to do is fight.

He'll be joining a patrol unit as well. An intermix of King's Own and Blades, like they discussed at their strategy meeting. (@cal 2227) But the dark-clad mercenary is, above all else, here to fight. Harlex has warred across Arvum and so much of it he regrets. But this is his chance to give back, from all that he's taken.

Action by Thorley

Thorley has been an unofficial member of the Crimson Blades since the moment he married Violet Marjawn. With the Commandant heading into the field with their child, the knight knows he needs to throw in his lot to assist with the patrols. It also helps to have a Knight that has no attachments to the Blades or King's Own to assist - an extra blade in the field is always a good thing. So once again, the Sword of Westrock Reach is out to bring glory home and protect the precious fluffybottoms. Also, he plans to serve as Violet's personal knight as she needs one.

Action by Arianna(RIP)

Being in the division of the Blades that she is, Arianna's job is to protect the Fluffybottoms. She's learned how to do the duties without being invested beyond that, which means, she takes her work very seriously. While some people might have questions it's business as usual for the Corporal. She's equipped well, thankfully, for the task at hand and possesses a wide array of skills which help her be a very vigilant troubleshooter. When it comes to eliminating the threat she prefers to approach things from a more cerebral, calculated approach rather than deal with a head on assault.

This means skirmishing over standing and fighting and making sure that she can communicate with her charges, not enough to wax philosophy but enough to have several contingencies in place as well as secondary and tertiary locations to withdraw and recoup. She's good at moving unobserved and hopes her awareness of the threat can bring her insights moment to moment.

Action by Aiden(RIP)

Aiden signed up to specifically help the Fluffybottoms because of his understanding of, well, animals. Birds especially. This is particularly the best fit for him, considering he's also a friend of the Lodge and the Officator of the Menagerie. If he's surrounded by birds the entire time or if anything strange happens with the birds - like if they seem to be swooping down to him as if passing messages or rallying together in a flight or scouting ahead - one can probably look to him for it. He'll support the Crimson Bldes and King's Own by trying to be a go-between, between Fluffybottoms, the Great Bird Empire and well, those who stand for the Compact. Yes, he might get looked at funny for it but it seems totally normal to him to talk to the birds. Though of note, Aiden will put donations earned from the Menagerie Masquerade ball toward the efforts, supplies, and whatever else is needed for this part of the operation to be a success. The man is also a bit of command and scout himself, so he won't balk at leading any or participating in any patrols, not when he has help of fur and feathers! He's totally bringing his Alaricite bow, Starfall.
