A long hard journey is ahead.

will there be explosive acorns and pine-cones on the journey (the important part) to this "eventually" you speak of? What i don't see any problems with them provided to have been clearly labeled with a symbol of a mushroom cloud with a ring on it or they only look like those color wise when armed. You know grenades that one wouldn't know to yell "duck and cover" for. the acorns would just leave a nasty hole on contact, the elder would be a master of such weapons.

Now time to think of combat rhetoric for the war... "Oh yes revenge of the food as if heart burn wasn't bad enough." "I don't think you got enough Tums to fight us with" "Not such small game now hu?" "See thats the issue with bipods, they think they're yet so great yet easily fall over or lose the contents of their hostlers" "Come get me you over priced rat" "Ha this is gonna be easAck" "these zombies got nothing (right before being demolished by one of Lan's more effective forces)"

also note his foretold death 4 arrows to the chest followed by being torched reminiscent of how his parents died and as far as we can tell, exactly like how they died. also note Warmwind learned Lan dies and his house is burned, from the time storm. but he doesnt learn anything after that. also the choice of weaponry as I've stated in the past rules out government involvement in his death, soldiers and mercenaries would use guns, the flamethrower will probably be left over from the war. I conclude that Lan will be killed post war by diehard (likely high elf) priesthood mercenaries in a last hora at containing the pooka people or in an attempt to "Purify" what in their eyes is the most unholy creature in the land a half pooka mutt heir to the throne of below with incredible skill and power over the dead, the people whom he's killed would be icing on the cake. They see pooka as unworthy of life, mutts as unholy, and necromancers as evil, they wanted Lan dead before all this started.

Doubt it clem. His mother was more likely considered carrier of the heir, Hades didn't step down nor planed to in his daughters lifetime he probably even arranged the meeting of Lan's parents, the unfriendliness Spencer alluded to in LWD with Hades was likely really an act, Hades being a hard ass and being hesitant to let his little girl grow up so soon, he had a hand in Walter finding Lan possibly set them up so Lan would cross paths with Spencer, shifted Lan's aim as not to kill Spencer, likely pulled the strings to have the trolls catch Lan. Hades wanted Lan to be raised in a dragon family so he would be inclined to with the right push lead the charge in the pooka's war he couldn't interfere with free will but he certainly took extra measures to make Lan happen he may have even pulled Lana through time once he ensured Lan would get to this point to put the last nail in the coffin in Lan's fate.

lan is maturing fast. he's becoming less impulsive and more thoughtful. he's growing into his future role. makes me wonder about his predicted demise. apparently his mother was hades' heir and with her dead the role has passed to him. if he does die, will someone else have to take the job? boo? perhaps lana?

aww.

but isn't spring a winter for the pooka? in thats when they are hunted the most and when thousands of kit are slain annually so then they should really be praying for is a "Bloodless Spring" or rather a "Spring of Equal Blood". I imagine a conversation with Lan going like this "and if they refuse to recognize pooka as sapient before spring?" "Then we teach them what spring means to a pooka"

great page

Couldn't Lan use the Necromancer's network to negotiate his terms remotely? Oz I think dark magic portals that short cut through hell are worse for nestlings and unborn kit than summoning spirits is that and they would be easy to trace.

I thought that the pooka's were going to ride in the Walker, but on the other hand, it does make an excellent distraction. Can Lan open portals for them to travel through?
