Action by Isabeau
The time has come once again to rally allies from all avenues to defend Arx. Princess Isabeau Valardin will be spearheading an effort to ensure that it is not only the noble commanders and generals who are rallied, but also the soldiers, crafters, and stewards; smallfolk of all stripes. She will invoke whatever power and sway she might have as the Voice of House Valardin and a very persuasive speaker besides. She will not do this alone, of course, as no single noble could hope to rally an entire city such as Arx... but, perhaps, a selection of its more influential leaders might.
Action by Hadrian
Hadrian Mazetti's out in force... at least as far as charm, good humor, and a sly wink here or there will take him. He's out to spread the word among the various Houses, crafters, mercenary companies, and other figures which may not have fallen under the collective embrace of the Compact's efforts. The Lodge of Petrichor, and thus the investments of the Crown and Compact, are under threat. A threat that could easily snowball into a threat directed at the rest of the Compact should the defense at the Lodge of Petrichor fail miserably. Whether through sheer force of personality, utilizing his reputation, calling in favors, or constructing a compelling bit of oration to inspire others to aid in the defense. Friends, countrymen, lords and ladies, lend me your ears! Let's all not risk inevitable slavery and step up to defend the Compact against this new threat now rather than later, shall we? The Lodge of Petrichor and its defenders need support, from the highest to the low. Materials, financial backing, capable sword arms, and all the rest. Answer the call for the Compact and humanity!
Action by Cambria
In order to assist the war effort, Cambria Mazetti has joined forces with Isabeau Valardin. She brings her own strength of personality to the table. She speaks to those who may be uncertain of how they can help, and appeals to others who may be undecided on whether or not this matter is as grave as word on the street seems to claim. All hands are needed, and every effort, no matter how seemingly small, is important.
Result
Princess Isabeau Valardin, along with Marquessa Cambria and Marquis Hadrian, work hard at emphasizing that very point. They note how beneficial the Lodge has been to the people of the Compact over the last several years. How it has provided refuge, a place for people to learn about the lands and the animals that traverse it. How it has been a place for communion with Petrichor. How shamans too find solace in the grove of ancient trees north of the Lodge. How it has been a staging point for the Compact forces as well. With each word dropped they emphasize how important this Lodge is, and how much a part of Arx and its people it truly is, and so even if the people aren't entirely sure why the Lodge needs to be defended, even the average person starts to think it's smart to protect such a valuable place.
