Lycaon listened to his court argue over a solution to their problem and was horrified when Vescteseg sugested the trade. He wanted to minimize bloodshed; however, he knew that if his brother had that much adamant than he would be a far more dangerous threat tha he is now.

"Entitiorios's song is right!" The god-king said as he rose from his throne and flew to the rooms center. "If we are to retrieve this adamant than we most work together. When the bestial gods ruled this land I wasn't able to defeat the because I was stronger or even smarter. I won because I was able to get help. Help from a diverse group of gods like we have here now. Nymeria is part god and is one of the best warriors I've ever seen, but she is still barely more than a child. I've heard stories of Lorenthos, Fenris, Borne, and the exalted. They are all mighty on their own right, but they are no match for Ulm and his legions of giants on their own. Ulm doesn't recognize our government and if he were to realize just what he has with his adamant than I fear that he might become a threat to some of the members of our court. I understand that Vescteseg is wiling to make a great sacrifice on our behalf and I thank my brother for it, though I am sure there are alterior motives. The most important thing is retrieving this adamant without a war and I have come to this conclusion. We send our party of champions to the Ulmish mountains to try to retrievethe adamant by any means necessary. If they are caught or killed we claim that they are not ours and feign ignorance of the adamant. However after our good friend Ulm tells us about the intrusion of these mortals for his adamant we can mention how we've been looking for some and offer the trade."

Lycaon knew that this plan was risky especiall if he failed since I could cost him half the adamant and his daughter but he knew it was a risk that must be taken.

"It will be a dangerous quest and I'm sure that not all of our heroes, if any, will survive. But If the do oh the stories that will be told and the song that would be sung of their deads. I ask you not as your king but as your fellow god and friend to lend me and te party of adventurers we shall asemble your support for this plan."
