"Let's hope they do..." he muttered, leading Morrowind in the direction of Base's tent.

Morrowind nodded as Base looked up, somewhat surprised to see Lady Morrowind there.
"Greetings..." he nodded, looking around and noticing several of the surviving trolls giving angry glances to the three night elves. "Why don't you come inside?"

Armanion gazed warily around him at the trolls, whilst Linmarion took a mental note of where all his weapons are - keeping in mind that the trolls didn't know that he was with them.
"Thank you." said Armanion, entering the tent.

"So..." Base began, looking at the sentinel. "Let's cut to the chase. Why are you here?"
"I'm here in the hopes that you will return the Priestess to the Night Elven government for trial and sentencing," Morrowind answered. "I know that you won't want to do this but--"
"You are correct in that prediction, my lady," Base interrupted. "If I turn her over to the Night Elves, I might as well have simply set her free, as far as the views of my people go. They will settle for nothing less than her death for what she's done here."
"I understand that," Morrowind replied. "But she is a Priestess of the Moon. If my people were to learn that a tribe of trolls publicly executed one of Elune's chosen, they would rise up with a ferocity not seen since we fought the orcs in the Cataclysm War. If the Night Elves went to war with your tribe, that would mean not only another--larger--attack on your tribe, but possibly a full scale war between the Alliance and the Horde if the Horde comes to your aid. I don't want that to happen."
"Neither do I," Base rebutted, "but the same thing is possible if I turn her over to you. If my people do not believe that I have served justice to the murderer of their families, then it is entirely possible that they will turn on me and my family, and go to war against the Night Elves with equally savage furor. We'd be wiped out, certainly, but think about what they could do to your people in the forests if they really wanted to. Even gravely outnumbered, trolls can make a forest hell for anyone passing through."
"Are you threatening us?" Morrowind asked, somewhat shocked.
"No, of course not," Base answered, waving the notion away. "After all, for that to happen, they would have to outright rebel against my family, and that would mean the deaths of all of us. It's definitely not an outcome I want..." he paused. "But it is a possible outcome, should I turn Taelani over to you. I am almost certain that you would not punish her harshly enough to appease my people."
"Well, then what do we do?" Morrowind asked irritatedly. "I cannot claim to cre about your people as much as you--their chieftain--do, but I certainly do not want a war between our people, which seems inevitable if you execute her."
"I will delay the execution as long as I can," Base answered. "Perhaps we can fidn some way to punish her that satisfies both my peoples' thirst for revenge and yet does not require my people to actually kill her. You should talk to your head priestess. See what you are allowed to do."
"Very well..." Morrowind nodded, exitting the tent. "Hopefully you'll hear from me soon. If not..." she paused. "Well, know that I'll be doing my best to prevent a war."
"As will I," Base nodded, looking down at his table.

The two night elves remained silent during the exchange between the two leaders, carefully listening to the discussion. After thinking for a while, Linmarion whispered to Base. "I don't suppose torture is out of the question?"

"What are you suggesting?" Base asked, looking over at the elf.

"Well, I think your people would justify it as blood, and mine wouldn't justify it as a murder of one of Elune's chosen ones..." replied Linmarion.

"You might be right," Base nodded, rubbing his chin. "But I don't know what the night elf people would have to say about it. Perhaps you could catch up with Lady Morrowind and go with her to Darnassus to find out?"

Linmarion saluted and nodded, leaving the tent and quickly found his hippogriph again, trying to catch up to Lady Morrowind.

Morrowind was mounting her hippogryph when Linmarion suddenly rode up.
"Erm, ishnu-alah..." she said. "Do you plan to come with me?"

"No, my brother intends on coming with you." said Linmarion. "I'ts just that, there is a method of punishment that the trolls define as blood and that isn't killing her..." he trailed off.

"And that would be?" Morrowind asked. "I'm certainly open to alternatives. We could be talking about a war here if something is not done."

"Well, I don't really enjoy saying this... but what about torture?" said Linmarion hesitantly, forcing out the last word.

Morrowind narrowed her eyes. "You are suggesting that we
torture
a fellow night elf?" she paused, thinking. "I don't like it..." she muttered at last. "I don't like it at all. But we do not have very many options. What did you have in mind?"

Linmarion shook his head. "I don't know - and I don't really care. Please, don't make me think about it. Just as long as she doesn't have to die and we don't have a war on our hands."
Armanion arrived by Morrowind on a hippogriph, waiting silently.

"Well, we'll leave it up to Lady Whisperwind," Morrowind nodded. "If the trolls will be satisfied with it, and the night elves do not have too great an objection, then it may be a solution..." she paused. "However, we must consider the ramifications of this compromise as well. From what I have heard, it was torture at the hands of the orcs that caused such fanaticism in her in the first place."

Linmarion nodded. "Good luck, then."
Armanion waited silently on his hippogriph, waiting for the conversation to finish.

Morrowind nodded to Linmarion and spurred her hippogryph, beckoning to the other elf to follow as she soared into the air.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, before Armanion dug his heels into his hippogriph's side and urged his mount after Morrowind's.
