Archived:Camp Council

This page is Camp only, if you're looking for the Broken Covenant version of this page simply follow this link.

Hello all, and welcome to the official start of what I'm calling "Lilith's Letter", one of a series of "Campaigns" that I hope to introduce successfully over the coming months. Campaigns are effectively a series of story driven quests with a heavy emphasis put upon character choice, decision making, and input. Basically I will be presenting you with a situation, and it's up to you as characters to respond to it effectively. Although parts of this campaign are set in stone, I aim to make things as flexible as possible in order to make a fully interactive and dynamic experience that changes based upon your actions and decisions. Just to give you an idea of how flexible this entire thing is: I have no idea what the results of the following meeting will be, or what you all intend to do with the threat you're faced with. I will be taking your reactions, and then providing a response to them from the other side while, hopefully, serving to guide the conversation and discourse in a productive direction should it happen to get vastly off track. What your characters will be walking into, is a meeting of the Camp Council which is moderated by Alexander (Played by yours truly) but made up of the various cabin counsellors who make the executive decisions. Thus, anyone who owns one of these characters should take the following opportunity to put his or her best foot forward before the entire community and ensure that a productive meeting is held with haste and without significant disturbance.

The meeting will be structured as follows:

Cabin Counsellors will have the time to prepare a statement to be singularly presented before the entire body. I urge users to make these cover the breadth of their argument and then use the later time to clarify and answer questions. Given that many users with counsellors are often inactive or hesitant to speak, I will allow each Counsellor with something to say to note his or her name below before we begin. Once everyone on the list has spoken, the floor will be open for Counsellors to discuss things in a more natural manner. Please treat speech in a similar manner to how you would during a Quest. Regular characters will be allowed to voice their opinions though only once, and after asking for permission to speak. This is to ensure that the meeting flows smoothly and takes as little time as is necessary to cover the topic at hand. If you don't have a counsellor position, please remember that those that do have earned the position and have it for a reason. Your time to shine should come later.

Camp Council
''A large room on the second floor of The Big House has been cleared to make room for a large oval shaped table surrounded by chairs in which all attending counsellors are seated. Other chairs have been pressed against the wall, where other campers sit and wait for their turn to participate in the conversation.''

Alexander clears his throat at the head of the table, rises, and begins:

Alexander the Great: I assure you all, I am not foreign to times of crisis. In fact, the majority of my short life was utterly dominated by them, one after the other, and so I hope you will trust me when I say the one we face today may well be the greatest since the Second Titan War. The manner in which you all decide to face this threat in the hours to come may be decisive not only in terms of your lives, but in terms of the camp as a whole. Thus I implore you to act without restraint or hesitation in order to bring an end to Pagos and restore peace and security to our home. Thank you.

Vic: Alexander, I get that, really I do, but not all of us have seen as many trials as you. I mean the way I see it, Lilith went about this entirely the wrong way. She could have told somone, came to one of us, and we could have done something. I mean, if this has the capacity to mean war, then we gotta make preparations. Arm ourselves, gather forces, the whole deal. But the way Lilith put it, this is one guy. How much of a threat can one individual pose in all reality? I mean I personally have seen the defeat of monsters, titans, and even gods by forces of 5. Think if we banded together to face one enemy. I doubt there is a force short of Tartarus itself that can beat us if we come together! Which brings me back to this. If this comes down to war, we have to take the fight to them. I don't mean go in guns 'a blazing, I'm all for devising some form of plan, but when the times comes-He pulls Coal Buster from his neck and slams it into the table.-we need to be ready to drop the hammer.

Ven: Unlike Al, I'm not used to times of crisis. I'm usually a very peaceful dude. Obviosuly, this is a matter that can't ne left alone for any amount of time. Something needs to be done, and done as quickly as possible. SOme sort of attack, or spmething. Planning would come first... find his weaknesses, his strengths, and who he has on his side. Oh, and knowing how to find him wouldn't hurt either. I know he's only one man, but who knows how powerful he is? He could be more powerful than a god even. If Lilith's concerned... well it's safe to say that you should be concerned too. What concerns me even more is that he's against the BC too... Don't shoot me for saying this, but they could be a powerful ally, despite wanting to murder us and our parents. Oy vei, this is a mess.

Zeke: Perhaps, but not every enemy's enemy is your friend. Though you are right on a few points. This guy, whoever or whatever he may be, is powerful enough to cause Lilith waver. Believe me, I've had the horror of fighting alongside Lilith, and it not in her nature to falter or fear at all. Which causes me a great deal of concern. Think about it. This being is boasting a great deal of power in Lilith's eyes. And the fact that we had no idea someone so powerful existed illustrates a worrying ability to hide himself. If he's capable of doing this, why not just come up to Lilith, as she's the only one aware of him, and kill her? Why show himself suddenly? That is, unless he's ready. I have no doubt in my mind that he's revealed himself as a challenge to defy him. I agree with Vic's method there, we meet him with all the opposition we can offer. Though at the same time, we'll need a HELL of a plan to ensure we're not dead before we get within 20 paces, that is, assuming he's as powerful as it's been suggested........He sits and kicks his feet up, biting an apple.

Tsumi: Zeke is right why show himself now after who knows how many years of being in the shadows so to speak. The man must have some great influence over our Lilith to make her do this. I say we form a plan, devise a defense if this whatever he is tries and attacks camp, as strong as we are He gestures to the counselors that have gathered around we do not stand a Jigoku of a chance if we do not have defenses, The barriers can only hold for so long. I suggest we pick a couple of our bests, our best fighters, best healers and best strategists. The rest should stay here and defend in case this man decides to attack.

Matthew: Your a fool Tsumi your father may be mine's boss but your defense plan will fail. This whoever he is has power to influence a blood user. One who has the blood of the Sky in her veins! Do you really think as strong as we our with the camp can stand up and actually defend against a force such as that!? I found with Lilith on my quest she is a fierce fighter indeed. Whoever that guy is must be a formidible fighter. I say we gather everyone that we can and head straight for the stronghold or wherever this guy is hiding and start kicking asses and taking their names.

Cole: But Matthew we do not even know what this person's powers are, or even who his parent is. For all we know his parent could be a god that rivals Lord Zeus or even Lord Hades Gestures to Tsumi for effect No offense to you Tsumi but as powerful as your father is he does not have the strength to fight somebody that could rival the Lord of the Sky. I believe we should devise a plan try and figure out this person's strengths weaknesses and his patterns. Rule 1 of the assassins: Learn your target. Learn everything you can about said target before you make your move. If you fail to follow even this basic rule you could end up with your throat slit. I'm done speaking for now.

Vanessa: But this dude is like Batman, we know next to nothing, and probably won't learn anything either. I say, this a cruel prank. Cause, a dude as powerful to hurt Lord Zeus? I soooo doubt it, but if he is real....Pauses for a second...Then..Then, we are all gonna die...''Blinks. ''Oh gods no way am I dying this young! Let's get some weapons and smash up this dude, if the past demigods could beat a bloody titan, then we can beat a demigod!

Rose: Look, we have to find out as much as possible about this guy, first. What he plans to do, what he's capable of, etc. But in the mean time, let us also set up defenses and prepare for war, if it comes to it, which I think, it will. This guy will know if we try to hunt him, so why not let him come? We don't have to bring him the battle, we have home field advantage here.

Jax: Thank you Rose, and Vanessa, please calm down. As much as we love to hear about your theories, we all know you watched too much TV. In my opinion, this is a threat which will affect us harshly, I say, we must act. Some of you may be like me, and wake up each morning, to see your brothers and sisters and watch them move on in life, learning. If anything, I do not want my siblings to grow up too fast. I want them to be shielded from war, from fighting, from pain but as this is reality, I know it can not be so. But as the counselor of Morpheus' Cabin, i say it is my duty to try, try to shield them despite the odds. I say, we must act, get a plan, and stop the threat before it can attack. Before it can take lives, before it can change the peace. If it is to go in brutally with force, or to plan and be strategical, I think there is only one thing to be done, action. I hope you realize, that what I am not saying is to rush, but it is too not waste to much time. Because, every second we are chatting, is another second for the enemy to plan.

Tristan: However beautiful the strategy, you should occaisonally look at the results. Sometimes, it is wiser to think about what would happen if we stay here and try to defend camp. Our forces are not the best. Our forces are not the smartest. Our forces may not even be developed enough to take on the enemy ranks. Camp half-blood has been attacked before, and there's not telling when it will be attacked again.I say this, because I know that we are at a disadvantage. I propose we try and liase with the Broken Covenant.

Zod: Okay Tristan, I don't know you that well but I didn't think you were crazy... The Broken Covenant? Ok, maybe they would help but this is a force greater then any one on this camp, anyone at BC camp too. I think the BC couldn't take us, much less this threat. I never met Lilith but from what I heard she is one strong girl. I think that if she can't take this thing, then no one can. I suggest we send some one to the River of Styx, and only that person can defeat this threat. That is how we won the last Titan War so why not this one too?

Caspian: Zod, sending someone down the River of Styx will be a gargantuan task. First we have the desicion of who to send down, and then we have to get him to the River Styx, dip him in the water, and get out without the great god Hades noticing. In Lilith's it says Pagos intends to utilize something then it is cut off. I propose we send a group of people to find out what Pagos intends to utilize. After we are able to find this, we should have another meeting on how we intend to destory whatever his secret weapon is. Also I don't think we should be too scared of Pagos. I understand that he is extremely powerful and can kill any one of us in a matter of seconds, but he was once a demigod. He was a camper no diffrent from us. Like the heroes in the Second Titan War isn't it possible that we can appeal to his emotional side, and help him realize the errors of his way.

Natalya: Forgive me if I doubt that. Emotional side? Realizing the errors of his way? I'm sorry, but that sounds like a highly sentimental plan. A plan cannot rely on the fact that this Pagos might actually have a conscience. I agree with Tristan. We should send some scouts to gather information on him, build up a spy network if necessary. In any case, we'd be best off if we were allied with the Broken Covenant. We'll need all the support we can get if we're to attempt to stand against someone who even Lilith fears.

Heath: I agree with Natalya I mean honestly developing any plan at this point is a best misleading and worst downright dangerous. Without the proper information we are flying blind and I believe that we should send people to either find Lilith or to spy on Pagos. I trust Lilith as much as anyone, but without concrete evidence how do we know she is not mistaken or worse. I know she has had trouble with mental stability before.

Jack: I can see how sneaking around and getting imformation before we attack would definitely help us prepare. But do that could do two thing against us. First, we would have to focus soully on that to get any good intel when we should also train and work on battle strategies. Second, there is the imbending possiblity he could learn about our operations and either somehow make it appear that something completely different is going on and we go in and get caught off guard..looks around the room, not at anyone in particular Or he could kill our spies and then come to destory us. Sits back in his chair

Ishtar: Our opponent is a near-god and insane demigod who took too much of the lord of the sky's blood. If he is really insane, the spies would get disintegrated before he knows what they were doing there. If he is cold, calculating and has a conscience, we need to act fast. Right now, we should be improving our resources and information and training the campers. If this event is doomsday for the Camp, we should be thinking of allying with the BC.

Tristan: Well Zod, are all these people crazy too? I've been here for a loong time, and I know Lilith. She hinted the BC, and I think we should unite against a common enemy.

Bianca: Runs in Sorry I'm late guys. Looks at Ishtar You want US to ally with the BC? Think of the massacre of the Forest! But...if we did....Looks lost in thoughts.

Zod: Okay, fine. I just don't see how this will go. What do you think they'll say? Oh yeah, sure. We dont mind that the fact this guy could destroy what we we are fighting against. I just don't think that this is the greatest idea. But If we do go, I'll be the first to sign up.

Braelyn: walks in Sorry I'm late. I had some difficulties with the cabin. I agree with what most of the others said, we need to gather information before we go anything else. I mean a page of that letter was missing, and that appears to be the one page that held the most information about Lilith's plan. I mean we only have a base understanding of Pagos and his powers. And facing someone that scares Lilith without backround knowledge seems like a suicide mission to me.

Jordan: Looks up, after being silent thus far It's okay Braelyn. Anyway, if we decide to join up with the BC, they still have to agree with us, not to mention that we would have to make battle plans and strategies together, which would reveal the strength and weaknesses of our camp. They could use this to thier advantage if we do win this battle. And we may end up just destroying each other instead of working together. But, is there really an alternatice course?

Osveta: I agree with many of you, but we really need to find out details about Pagos. Including his powers, skills, potential force and such. Also, we would need to contact Lilth. We need her if we have to do this.

Fevor: We need to make a decision and fast. Pagos could be heading for us as we speak.

Kevin: Looking deadly serious for once Even if we join up with the BC, even if we do work together, can we really defeat this guy? Or are his powers just being hyped up because we don't know about them?

Markus: I agree with Vic on this one. We're part of a camp with a legacy of single campers taking down giants, titans, gods, and more. Now think, a whole army of us, well into the hundreds, all brought to bear against this one amped-up demigod. He wouldnt stand a chance.

Braelyn: Either that or they all get torn to shreds. I'm not willing to gamble lives like that. Not without some proof that we can overpower him

Vic: Sighs. You DO realize, able to overpower him or not, we're going to have to fight just to not be slaughtered? He's not gonna wait for us to get ready, nor does he give a shit what we do, he's active, and he's doing his dirt now. If we can beat him, we will, it's as simple as that. If not, we going to give him as hell of a fight while he kills us all. Either way you look at it, the fighting is GOING to happen. Now, if you don't wanna fight, then just get the f*ck out right now, cuz why are you even here?

Braelyn: I'm here because I earned the right too by being the counselor of my cabin. Yes we will have to fight him eventually but I'm not going to send anyone out there without some idea of what Lilith wanted us to do or without some real idea of what we're gonna face. Sure we will fight him, and if we can beat him well thats just fabulous. But if we can't and it is a bloodly slaughter-fest, I want to at least be able to say I tried my hardest to figure out what we could do. Instead of saying what will be will be and crossing my fingers.

Vic: REALLY? You EARNED it? y'know what? that's not even the point, so I won't go there. If you'd listen to what I was saying, rather than the manner in which I said it, you'd get my point. You propose we send people to gather information? What information could there possibly be? This guy's been on lock-down for gods know how long. There's next to nothiמg we can gather without getting it directly from him. And do you know the only difference between sending people to get information and an assault on him? The intention to hit him. In all honesty, it's virtually no different than offering up campers for him to mow down. So why send people out to get information they are damn near garunteed to not make it back with, as well as tip him off that we're trying to stop him. You just remember, this is one of our very few advantages, that he doesn't know we're aware of him yet...But hey, I'm just a fight-happy brute, so what do I know? He scoffs and slumps back down into his chair.

Vanessa: Woah, calm down folks! Becomes serious for once. Fighting among ourselves will not help. Did the past demigods defeat titan dude by fighting and arguing among themselves? I don't think so. You guys make think I am immature and do not deserve to be here, but let me tell you, I care as much as you do. Vic, I know you from the quest, great guy here people, take his ideas to heart, it helps. Braelyn, that is your name right? I haven't met you yet, so err nice to meet you girly, now as much as you seem cool, let's not get too err hateful of other ideas, no offense. We must work together, as a group, a team, as a council. Fighting is not something which helps. We all want the same goal, to find out what the threat is overall and make sure it aint a threat no longer. One idea won't help. All of these idea's are great, and I think they can call be used, making a greater plan. Myself? I aint got them kickass thoughts and ideas as you, but I do have one idea. My idea is, that we for once, listen to other peoples ideas instead of just saying our own. Sits back and chews some gum Sooooo, hope ya loved my for once serious moment, back to cray cray peeps! Woohoo, now lets brainstorm!

Zod: So, I agree with both Vic and Braelyn… and Vanessa. They are all right about one thing, we must defeat this is an evil. Also, we should both send an info team and an attack team. I think we need a fast, distraction team. Sits back.. I'm done for the day. Grabs some grape juice..

Ven: Well Zod is CLEARLY a great listener... I think, for now, we need to set up a Camp defence. Then, once we're secure, we can branch out- gather information from hwerever we can, find other... forces... to fight with. We can pray to our parents for guidance and advice, and hope to dream. For now, we have to stay on the defensive... nless we all want to die, that is.

Jax: Err did you not hear me before? Dude, we want to shield the younger campers, even the older ones who still have that naive sense of unknowing of pain and loss. If we stay on defensive and let the enemy come, there is like a 75%, that they will overpower us and make those campers lose that sense of peace and safety. It would be like, we're getting attacked everyday, maybe tomorrow will be the day defense falls and we will die. I do not want that for my siblings, even if you guys do. Glares at them all. As much as I think we shouldnt attack full on without a plan, I do not think we should sit here, thinking we have the better defense and luck. Because this dude sounds uber powerful, if Lilith is afraid. So, if shes afraid, you guys better realize that you should be afraid to and staying still with little swords like sitting ducks will not work. Whether we attack with a plan, spy, whatever, I am not going to just sit here and let them come destroy us.

Ven: Well, folks, Jax doesn't listen either. I said we need to set up a defense FIRST. SO we can keep the camp secure, genius. If we didn't, there wouldn't be anything left to protect! Defending ourselves is our first priority. Once we get that straightened out, we plan further.

Vanessa: OI! Look, insulting doesnt help either! Do not insult another person here in my presence or I will flood camp! ''Glares at Ven. ''Grow up and for once, stop insulting others and try to listen.

Zod: Passes Jax some wine.. Trust me, it helps.

Zeke: YO!! Thunder rumbles loudly outside. Look, can we stop fighting for 5 f*cking minutes here, people? I'll be frank, I have no idea what way is the best way to go about handling this, I'm no strategist, but I do know that it's adamant that we selesct the best course of action follow through with it, commit to it, so we can pack this shit up and go home. And we can't do that if we're here bickering like children. Now come on, let's get our shit together so we can get this done....WITHOUT fighting...

Zod: Drops wine. I agree with him!!!!

Jack: Here's an idea, assign cabins task based on their abilities. Like for spying, Hermes, Morpheus, Nyx are some ideas. Hephaestus, some of the wind gods, Hecate could defend camp. Then send the power houses, Zeus, Poseiden, Ares, to take him. I'm not saying anything definate here, just ideas. But all cabin would be helping.

Althea S: --Walks in-- Sorry, I'm late...Okay, So...I agree with Vic. Although I suggest that before we make that large step, We must first unite with the BC in order to defeat this guy and in making our strategies and plans not only us would expose our defenses and weaknesses but also them. Think about it, We're not only using a force of one army but of two armies comprised of Demigods, Nature-spirits and even lesser gods in the BC Camp...as I have read before, Foes could fight together against a bigger threat. It's not only camp that houses Demigods...It's also them. They are also threatened by this, We could fight together and in the end if our alliance would backfire, We could use their Weaknesses against them as they have exposed it as we exposed ours to them. It's like a balanced situation.

Braelyn: Personally I dont see how we can join the BC. Sure we're common allies with Pagos, but how are two natural enemies going to help each other without partially killing each other?

Althea S: Hmmmm...We need something to lure them and make them do things for us...like a contract!

Althea B: ''She finally speaks up after being silent for so long. ''We're just paraphrasing, people, so if you don't have anything new to say, it's best to keep it short, since we have to come up with something... and soon. As for the Broken Covenant, how can we be so sure they're a common enemy of his? Maybe they're the ones housing him? How come no one brought up that possibility? Lilith isn't quite the trustworthy type, and I don't think we should indefinitely rely on her, only somewhat, because despite her experience and strength, she's not too well mentally... She may very well be aside the Broken Covenant. I do not think we should form an alliance with them, at any time, whatsoever. They're foul, treacherous, and they scheme only against us...Additionally, they also house MONSTERS, you know... those that hunt us down with every step we take off camp premises. I think we should stay away from them, by any means. If he does not have an alliance with the Broken Covenant, I'm nearly sure he has brought other foul means of fighting us to his side, using his power. In my opinion, we first need to do some research, figure out where he even is, and figure out tactics against him. We should form groups, based on strengths and weaknesses, splitting up into defensive forces, offensive forces and possibly two support or healing groups. Then, we should spread over large areas, so nothing can surprise us... I may already be offering a more strategic approach to things, but unless we take action NOW, we won't have any time by our side.

Althea S: You don't know all of them... --She sighs-- Okay. I'm not even gonna argue but I must say that the Ariadne Cabin is in great service for camp and I suggest the Hermes, Morpheus and Nyx Cabins for Scouting and we will divide our forces into groups. I suggest the Athena Cabin and some of the Cabins are to strategize, Apollo and some of the Hecate campers will be in the Medics and the Other hecate, Nyx and Morpheus campers are to provide the camp of defensive barriers. The Ares, Poseidon and the Zeus Cabins are to be front-line of offense. The Other Cabins are to join the other groups depending on their expertise. That is my suggestion.

Althea B: I don't think it should be based on cabin in any way so we can utilize a wide range of abilities over the groups, if my suggestion does take place... regardless, those cabins make no sense...

Zeke:Didn't I JUST say to stop bickering? Seriously, if we aren't even going to consider each other's ides, then we'll clearly never come up with anything. Remember time IS of the essence. I'll say this, though. If it comes down to a vote to work with the Bc, I'll have to go with "F*ck no." Whle Althea's description is a bit...distorted, it IS true they don't want anything to do with us. And even if they do, we really shouldn't make plans or decisions around an ally they we don't even know we'll have. Like I said earlier, Not evey enemy's enemy is our friend. Should they, by some twist of fate, decide to give an assist, that's great, but we need to devise a course of action that is independent of them.

Vic: We know what he is. He's a male lilith that's more powerful due to being a demigod. This research bullshit is of little merit, mainly due to our lack of time. What purpose would it have? Knowing things about him don't make him any weaker. And as Zeke said earlier, if he's come out of the shadows, he has to have his forces prepared for anything short of a nuke. Someone daring to get close enough to get wiped out is exactly what he'd want. I'm tellin ya, we need to drop the dime on this guy while we still have somewhat of an element of surprise. Perhaps several surgical strikes, something of that nature. Sending in some of our best offensive people in waves or shifts, but making sure to have some firepower here at home.n I'm just sayin, due to time constraints, we can't afford to play Solid Snake and go sneaking around to get info that would prove as useful as his favorite foods and shoesize.

Althea B: I do not see how my description is distorted, but, I agree... Victor, we don't even know what his abilities are. All the creations of Ouranus' blood have entirely different powers. We have no clue where he is. We have no record of the exact amount of power he has, and everything pretty much depend on those alone, which aren't the only factors we have to consider.

Caspian: Althea, I understand your point that we have no idea what Pagos is capable of, but to beat him we are going to actually have to hit him. Working off Lillith's description we have no chance of beating him alone. This is why I have to suggest joining forces with the BC. Yes, they massacred us in the woods, yes they hate the gods, and yes they send monsters out to kill us, but we need their help. Some of the BC members are much stronger than us, like that Eli kid. He killed camper after camper, without taking any hits. Yes it was ruthless, but it also shows the amount of power some BC members have. We will need the BC's help because even with the most ingenious plan if we get within five feet of Pagos we die. Some BC members would probably be able to survie Pagos's blow, and it always helps to have strength in numbers.

Vic: Althea....oh my gods.... I find itinteresting that I have to keep saying it.....Regardless of what his powers are, regardless of what he's capable of, all of that shit aside, while it has somewhat of a sense of importance, while slight, at the end of the day, and please, everyone hear me when I say it this time.... WE ARE STILL GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT HIM....Not to mention knowing any of these things make us able to counteract or use them against him. All I'm sayin is, there's a reason a parry deflects and a sucker punch knocks you on your ass....

Asher: Has been silent the entire time, listening to everyone May I speak Alexander?

Ven: He looks at Asher a moment before talking. I think... if there's any chance of us joining the BC... they have to come to us. There's no way things would go over well if we went to them. They'd laugh at us before trying to kill us all. I think we need some sort of strategy, and fast. We don't have time to snoop around and earn his every detail, but we can't just blindly attack. Again, we need a defense set up for last resort reasons. But we also need an offensive plan. What we need is a traitor to him, one that knows his secrets and is willing to share. I doubt it will happen, but it'd be magical if it did.

Jax: Well, if we are going to start on some plans....If you guys are able to get me a suspect, I could err stalk their dreams for information...If that is a good way to put it....I am an expert in the art of going into dreams and not being noticed, with my photographic memory, being able to take everything in. I believe if there is a suspect, someone that you can get me near while they are sleeping, I can help there. Because often people dream of upcoming events, before they happen. This may be able to help...''Shrugs. ''Even if it doesnt, we can try.

Vanessa: Stalk peeps dream? KICKASS POWER WOOHOOO! Awww I just realized you have kickass powers while i dont...''Chews her gum before blowing a huge bubble. ''I think I can help in something else though. I got badass skills when it comes to making people speak, and I think if Themis kids are with me, or at least one of 'em, if we go with Ven's plan of getting a traitor or someone, I can get them speaking, Themis kid make sure it aint a lie...We need all ideas we can get people, so c'mon...If we hear any news of deaths related to this, Hades' kids and Melinoe's kiddies can help there, get info from yo dead guys. Every cabin here has something they can do, so lets get brainstorming. With all these small ideas, we can then put them into a plan. Just saying ahh lets get a spy in there wont help unless we know WHO could be a spy, same with fighting, we need to know who can work together, cabin wise i mean, to get the better outcome. Giant plans, start with little ideas, which make the plan have all the good suppppppport and structure....BRAINSTORM TIME! ''Giggles. ''Storm..I like floods....Hehehe...Oops off topic, like i said, little ideas.

Vic:Cabin segregation is by NO means the answer though. Furthermore, no one would be idiotic enough to betray someone whose very prescence is causing us to have this little meeting. But back to my point. any grouping that would be done has to be done based on personal skills, not your cabin or godparent. Afterall, abilities from your godparent aren't all the skills we have.

Jax: It was just an idea......Some of us arent as skilled as you, y'know. Some of us aren't as powerful as you, some of us don't have many "personal skills". I can play the violin, wow great personal skill which will be put to use. I would get put in a group of people who can play violins, we'll play the enemy to death. ''Glares at him. ''Some of us are peaceful people who dont have kickass fighting skills you have. So what do they do? Sit back and let big kids fight? Sure, thats gonna work...

Vanessa: ......Is in shock that someone thought little ideas were bad....Like blank face not moving shock...Just leave her there......

Vic: And I pointed out the flaw in the idea. Get the f*ck over yourself, little girl. You don't even know me, so instead of putting words in my mouth you should sit your ass down and pay more attention to the ones I actually said. I'm saying, and again, getting tired of having to repeat, that people in "non-traditionally powerful" cabins can join in the fight, as well as the "powerful" cabins could be just as useful in support. Apollo for example. They're some of the best fighters I've ever seen in my life, but at the same time are beyond capable of granting medical services and support, The same goes for Hecate. It simply isn't fair to tell someone they have to do a job because of the cabin they're in. Also, for future reference, instead of taking offense to people pointing out the weaknesses and flaws in your ideas, be more open-minded when giving them.

Althea B: I have to agree with Victor on this one.

Bianca: I think Jax's idea was a good one. But I also agree with Vic.

Jax:Little girl? Bastard! I may not know you, but you do not know me, so calling me a little girl means you have to take your own advice! You may not know what I have been through, you may have been through more, but I know I have taken on more than some people here! And be more open-minded? I've sat here listening to some stupid plans but have remained open-minded! I think its YOU who has to be more open-minded! I was just suggesting something, I did not say we had to do it for gods f*cking sake! ''Sighs and tugs her hair. ''I was just suggesting, because isnt that what we are all doing? Suggesting things...Trying to put in a bit of help...''Sits back on her stool. ''Fine, just go ahead and plan, I'll put in my cents on something more helpful then.

Vanessa:Frowns and looks nervous. M-maybe we can all calm down here. Jax, calm, not needed. V-vic, p-please try to do the same....So umm err anymore ideas....A-and, m-maybe you should share any ideas you h-have Bianca.

Bianca:Looks at Vanessa and stands up OK, so my idea is...well, our powers are all unique, right? But there are people in the BC who have joined because their godly parent has NO cabin at camp. We need them! They have powers diffrent from the range we have here! That is my idea. Sits down.

Jax: Oh yeah, the people in the Broken Covernant can do things, which could help us. They have their own err personal skills as umm he said. Maybe, maybe an alliance will help. Just think of the people we can meet, and what we can learn.

Vic: Glares at Jax then stands up. Y'know what? I don't need this shit.... He throws Coal Buster into a wall and leaves it, walking out of the door.

Althea S:  Y'know what? How bout we all shut up for a moment and think?

Althea B: Great, look what you have done! No, no, no, I will not put together an alliance with any of those treacherous bastards! Mon dieux! Quelle bande d'idiots! Je vais pas rester là à cela!

''Suddenly the room becomes cold, a freezing cold wind blowing through the room. The raindrops on the windows turn into icicles.''

Asher: Shakes his head You guys suck at deciding stuff....

Zeke:Watch yourself, guy, you're lucky to be allowed here to start witrh..

Asher: Hmph, you mean here as in walk around. You forget im not allowed to live in camp. Mumbles Stupid Zeus kid, all of them the same I swear....

Zeke: Yea, cuz I CLEARLY forced you to join the BC and made you unowrthy of any of our trust.....Totally my fault, I forgot. I'm SOOOOO sorry.

Asher: Glare at Zeke No, that would be your FATHER who did that.

Zeke: Yea, and I OBVIOUSLY am my father, what with my black skin, lack of beard, and actual willingness to talk to someone who's being dissrespectful...Get over yourself, dude. Your beef with my father is with you and my father, and has jack shit to do with me, so chill.

Bobby: Will both of you just shut your traps and let this council get on without WWIII breakin' out? We're here to talk about eliminating a war, not startin one. clears his throat Although you all have good points, I say that we should look into the matter. We have no idea what we're up against besides Lilith tellin' us that this Pagos bloke is strong. But we don' know how strong.'''

Braelyn: looks up at the windows Whoever is messing with the weather needs to calm down looks pointedly at Zeke and Asher Anyways, I think that Bobby makes a point. I mean we are missing a lot of useful information.

Asher: Anyways, we shouldnt be that worried about Pagos himself. You guys have dealt with more powerful beings, if ive heard right, and if we do decide to ally with the BC, Axel will be able to deal with him. He is Ouranos' son for gods' sake. I dont care how much blood he has, Axel's has his powers. What should be scary to us is what he's going to utilize. Think about it, this guy must be completely off his rocker and insane with all that blood, if Lilith went insane from just a little bit of the blood. And what if this thing he plans to use can like destroy the world? Or change it irreversably? Thats what we should be planning for.

Homer: Discussing Broken Covenant potential alliance is useless and not to mention a huge waste of time. For one reason alone, we don't know where they stand on this issue. If they are interested in fighting Pagos, and are not his allies. Only then we can consider an alliance, but not before that time. As far as I am concern our defensive should already been increased with Broken Covenant revealing themselves, Zeus Cabin getting torn, and the murders that happen in the forest. In fact the majority of this camp should be ready to fight whatever enemy we might encounter. No matter who it might be, whether it is Pagos, monsters, or Titians. We should be confident in facing our enemy head on. To all the counselor of this camp, you hold a higher responsibilty than the rest of us. Most of camper rely on your leadership to protect and lead them to victory. Here a news flash we were already at war with Broken Covenant, and knowing this I demand to know one thing. What were you doing for the past several month that would help us fight and defeat our enemy?

Ven: First things first. Ven sends in a warm air, unfreezing the room. That's better. Now, if we could all stop fighting, that'd be great. ''Ven turns towards Asher. ''Asher, you were once part of the BC. I know many people here don't trust you, but my gut is telling me you're a decent guy. So now, I have to ask you something. Did you meet anyone, anyone at all, from the BC that could give us any help? We would need reliable people, ones that you could trust enough to make us trust them too. Letting the Council hear this, he pulls Asher off to the side, speaking softly so no one can hear. Look, I know you're not... loved... around here. Think of this as retribution. Help us, and thye may accept you again.

Asher: I dont need acceptance Ven, to be honest the only reason i'm helping is because i'm no fan of the BC as much as you guys, and I can't exactly end these stupid BC people alone. Anyways....I think there's one person who we could trust....Kaiden, but he's not exactly in power. I mean, Brennan might help too...though she might be still pissed off at me. But besides those two, no one. I made a bunch of enemies at the BC....

Braelyn: Are you sure we can trust them? They might be more willing to stab us in the back than help us. We need to be careful about who we can trust.

Asher: Kaiden is definante, he's a very good friend of mine, and acually cares about his siblings. Brennan though....I can't say for certain.

Homer: Are you sure there is no one else inside BC that you think might help?

Asher: Besides those two? Not that I know personally. But Anton is probably the one most likely one to help you, if you dont piss him off or hurt his honor of course. Axel could also be a potential help. He is susceptible to bribes, and his pride might make him want to beat the crap outta Pagos for having his father's blood. But besides those two....I doubt the others would ally with you unless Pagos proves to be a very, very powerful opponent indeed.

Homer: What kind of bribe are we talking about here?

Asher: It depends. I would guess probably info, or a weapon, or even a prisoner. Anything that would help excel his goals really, whatever they may be at the time.

Homer: With Axel there may have to be some sort of negotiation involved. The reason why I asked if you knew anyone else who might be interested in helping is because I heard a little rumor that your sister Althaia; who is also in BC, may be a bit more sympathetic to the camp. and could want to help us.

Asher: His expression darkens I have had little dealings with my...sister for many months now. Nor do I think she would help...at least at my beckoning. I do not know if she has relations with others at camp.

Homer: Thanks for your honesty.

Althea S: --She bangs her hand on the table after keeping silent for a minute-- I'm sorry! I was just suggesting about what could help camp! What could! Suggesting! Ring a bell, Ice Princess?!...Uggh! --She inhales and exhales heavily-- Okay...so what about this Althaia girl? You mean she's in the BC but she doesn't really hate camp?

Althea B: That doesn't make her an ally. By the way, Lilith doesn't have Ouranos' powers, so why would Pagos? Neither do the furies, nor the giants or Aphrodite...

Jordan: Sighs If we continue like this we'll gain nothing. If we have to fight Pagos, we just need to make sure we're ready for him, each member of camp knowing his/her role in the battle.

Kevin: Um, how many kids does camp have?

Osveta: We should make sure each demigod or cabin uses their powers to the fullest extent,

Fevor: Sorry to be so harsh, but are sure Pagos won't kill Lilith before he reaches us?

Asher: To be honest, what happens to Lilith at this point is kinda irrevelant. She left us wirth only this to work with, so i doubt she'll be coming back to help us anytime soon.

Homer: I think we all can agree we have to increase the camp defense. Our main weak point is the forest and all of us know from experience that our enemies will strike us from that point. My idea is setting up a surveillance system there, beach and the main gate so we can know exactly who coming and leaving the camp. Maybe adding a few traps around the forest would be good too. That is what I can come up with at the top of my head. Does any one else have any good ideas to share about how we can increase the camp defense?

Braelyn: Shadow travelers along the borders? That way if an enemy is spotted word can reach the offensive line quickly

Ester: How about interviewing new incoming camper, in case of someone trying to infiltrate the camp and divulging secretes about our strategies.

Ariana: If I may speak, I'd like to offer suggestion. This Althaia you spoke of- I know her personally. She is in a situation very much like Asher's, even if he doesnt think so. At this point, she hates the BC- she is hiding out. SHe would much rather be here, with us, but I'm afraid she doesn't think we'll accept her (OOC: SHe wasn't allowed in for claiming or something like that). I can set up a meeting with her and speak to her. To be honest, I trust her. I know am not a Counsellor, and therefore may not count for much, but I really believe she is trustworthy, I usually can read people easily, and she seems fine to me.

Ven: All of those ideas sound good, actually. Provided the other Counsellors are okay with it, I say you set up a VERY private meeting with Althaia- sourt of a preliminary session- and then we can speak to her too. Also, I'd like to see that boost in security and defense. A surveillance system of cameras could get messed with, but it's worht a shot. And anyone that can travel quickly would be sueful to our border security. Also, anyone that can fly would be helpful. perhaps we can construst a watch tower too. And, as Ester said, we should be careful about newcomers.

Homer: Actually Ven there are more equipment we can install to help with surveillance like like motion sensors, and detector, door and window Sensors, interior siren, low temperature sensor, and maybe even finger print scanner for the cabins and the other building. There more to security than video cameras.

Tristan: If you wish for fast travel; seek out the Hermes and Artemis cabins. If you wish for flying, look at Zeus' cabin and the wind cabins. I think that Ven's idea is good, but limited and very risky. A trip to the BC, to "meet" a member - you may as well as sign your own death certificate! We're on the verge of war, and the BC will only open arms to us, if they have a knife to stab us with afterwards.

Ariana: I think you misunderstood me. Althaia is no longer with the BC. She is in hiding... somewhere. She is not allied with the BC in the slightest; inf act, she hates them. She might prove useful to us.

Ven: Homer, what I was saying was that technology, in general, is easy to hack into. I trust the campers' instincts much more than I'd ever trust any piece of technology. And for the security team, I think we need to up the amount of regular patrols, plus add some of those quicker moving camper. Like Tristan said, Artemis and Hermes would work well. Any wind kid would work good- I can check in with them all, if necessary. Anyone that can shadow travel, or blossom out of a plant would work well too, so that would include Nyx, Persephone, and Hades. We could aldo use extra enchantments besdies the natural ones already placed here, if the Hecate cabin would be willing to do so.

Ester: In terms of Broken Covenant we should trust that Asher and Ariana would find out what Broken Covenant opinion is in this matter. Since now we can send more people to the scouting party to find out information about Pagos, and locating Lilith. Ester Pauses and looks at Ven. Any cabin can be useful in there own way in the security team, but I would like to recommend that it should be voluntary not mandatory to whom joins the team. Ester smiles. Besides demigods we also have nymphs, satyrs, centaurs, and one werewolf would love to volunteer to help and defend the camp. We are no shortage of help here, but my question is how will this team be formed and who will be its leaders?

Braelyn: Wait, did you say Althaia isn't acutally with the BC? How is she useful then? Her information could be out of date depending on how long she's been 'out' of it.

Asher: The BC doesnt change all that quickly. Her info should be ok...should she want to help...

Ven: Any information is good information at this point. Besides, another fighter, and a powerful one at that, doesn't hurt, now does it? And Ester, I'm not sure how the teams would work, but I do know that the more help we have, the better of we'll be. This guys seems seriously powerful- as I said, he scares even Lilith. So we need all the help we can get.

Est er: I agree brother.

Elysine: I strongly agree that this should be a voluntary force, I also think that we'd better come to a conclusion as soon as possible. This argument has drawn on long enough.

Althea B: Elysine makes a good point, so instead of repeating it, I'll second that statement.

Ven: So we are all in agreement that we need a solution, and need it now? And do we all think upping our security is a good place to start? Then, we can meet again and build from there?

Ariana: And I may talk to Althaia?

Ester: I think you should Ariana. If Althaia is or was a member of the Broken Covenant, and she is willing to work with us to help defeat a common enemy. Then I think it doesn't hurt to hear what she has to say. Let face facts any information she provides will be useful.

Jordan: Agreed

Kevin: Whatever

Osveta: Yeah okay.

Fevor: Well let's do it already.

Elysine: I'm not quite sure that we've made clear exactly what we are going to "do already"... does anyone have a concrete proposition?

Chryso: As the counselor for the Athena cabin, I see it as my duty to advise on strategy here. From what I understand of the discourse so far, we seem to be interested in a voluntary force, or forces, with the intent of discovering more about our enemy. So, it seems reasonable to me to suggest that we commission four or five groups to do exactly that. Is anyone opposed to this notion?

Zeke:Whatever...

Zane: Sure

Zod: I guess that sounds alright.

Asher: And what of the BC and a possible alliance?

Chryso: I wouldn't reccomend that until we understand the true nature of the threat.

Asher: Though....shouldnt we at least establish some kind of cease-fire with the BC? If Pagos is a huge threat, do we really need to watch our backs for the BC as well?

Homer: Asher we don't know anything more than what Lilth told us in the letter. We need more information that that, if we were to seek any sort of alliance. For all we know they could be behind threat or are not behind it. If they are not behind the threat, than they could join forces with Pagos in order to defeat us and the gods. As I said before we need to find out more about where they stand before making any sort of decision in this area. Look you know people who are from there, why don't you ask them about Broken Covenant opinion on this matter and then see where we go from there.

Asher: Sighs I'm not saying we should ally with the BC! I'm saying we should at least attempt a temporary cease-fire so that they dont attack camp when these scout parties are out on the move!

Chryso: And who's to say we can trust them?

Ven: Ven slams his hand on the table. Look people, we're getting no where. For now, can we focus on upping the defense? We need to be ready for any situation. Once that's covered, then we can focus on the BC. In the meantime, start making those smaller connections- Asher and Ariana, find out what you can to get us help. But, for now, we should focu on defense. The mejority has already agreed on this. I have also been told by Ester that she has acquired a new security system. That, along with a new and improved border patrol, should come first. Yes?o

Chryso: There's no point defending against something if you don't even know what it is. I think we need to take a more active role here. If this Pagos does exist, he isn't going to attack us until he's ready and when he is I'm not sure that we can stand against him.

Elysine: I think Chryso makes a good point. Sittting here and waiting for him is probably running a greater risk than getting out there and discovering exactly how he means to attack us.

Homer: I agree with Chryso on one point. We need to know more information about this Pagos in order to properly perpare and stratregize about how we will be able to stop him. If what Lilith has told us is accurate then we are looking at someone very powerful. Without the right startegy anyone who we send out there will not survive. At the same time I also believe we need to increase our defenses. The reality is if our barrior where to break while Broken Covenant or Pagos were attacking us the majority of individual in th camp, or in this very room will die.We have four objectives here find intel what the Broken Covenant opinion is, increase the camp defensives, discover any information on who Pagos is, and more importantly what he is planning. Does anyone have any objections to this?

Elysine: The only objection I have, is the fact that you haven't proposed a specific way to organize what we intend and who would be involved. Remember, we're the one making almost all of the decisions here.

Ven: Does no one listen? Anyone? I said that defense should be our first priority, since our camp is our home, and our campers are our brothers and sisters. They key word her is FIRST. I didn't say it was our ONLY priority. And i recall already talking about a new defense system... upgrading it with shadow travelers, flyers, teleporters, anda new security system. Does anyone else remember that being said, or am I crazy?

Zod:I guess you don't play much sports Ven? You don't get anywhere without a GREAT offense and a GREAT deffense. Right now, offense is our priority. This game just started and Pathos kicked the ball to us. We don't need to worry about deffense now, we need to worry about making a touchdown. And, the BC is pretty low, but not low enough to attack us when I'm sure they are being threatened also!

Chryso: Defense is certainly an important aspect of our grand strategy. I am simply emphasizing the fact that we have only so much time available and so I would reccomend the use of that time as efficiently as possible. Defenses can be organized relatively easily without close coordination, whereas offensive forces take longer to prepare and require additional oversight. Therefore, I believe that we should make them our priority at this point at time. Once we know what we are defending against, we can set up what we need most effectively.
