What does Terisa 'hear' the time her and Geraden successfully consummated their desires? <<trying to be delicate in my wording here :D
Thanks for participating! Since you're right, this is an easy one, I'll leave it for the moment to see if we can draw out any other lurkers. :)

Correct - your question.

Ok, during the siege of Orison by the Alend Monarch, what is Joyce's response to their request for a meeting under a flag of truce?

While that may have "happened" it certainly isn't canon (it wasn't in the book). I may leave some piece of what DID happen for another trivia question... ;)

He didn't come out himself. Instead he sent out Barsonage with a threat to "Unleash the full force of the Congery" against them (or words to that effect, but I believe that is the quote...) if they didn't lay off with the battering ram. Actually, I think maybe it was a catapult at that point...

Not the answer I was looking for...I'm talking about before the catapult.

Clue: It was Lebbick delivering the message...

Upon reflection, I think the threat was in the scene you are talking about, but the actual warning about the catapult came later.

What you're probably looking for his refusal of Alend's offer of alliance (which would have entailed letting them in), but rather advising them to pull back and wait for events to work themselves out.

It's what Lebbick is told to say when Kragen and Elega ride forward immediately as the Alends arrive...

Lebbick does mention the threat of unleashing the Congery to route the Alends from the Earth.

Joyse, through Lebbick, makes the offer to meet Margonal under a flag of truce if the Alend army pulls back, away from Orison.

And, Joyse also has Lebbick say that he's sure Elega has acted for the best reasons, and that she carries his pride with her wherever she goes, and that hopefully the best reasons produce the best results for her sake and for his (Joyse's) sake.

Sounds right to me (but I'm not the judge here...) I think it is time for a reread to de-muddle some of my memories... ;)

So close. The same conversation, but how does he start it? :D

I appreciate your support here, Sanity, but I can't escape the feeling that I'm missing something. :?

Okay, Prince Kragen relays Margonal's proposal to Joyse that they meet under a flag of truce, and King joyse has sent the message that neither Kragen nor marginal understand hop-board..

And Cord Hurn has it. :D Neither of them understand hop-board. :D
King Joyce asks me to point out to you - and your illustrious father - that neither of you understands hop-board. You wouldn't have gotten as far as a stalemate without help. Instead of waving your swords at us, you ought to remember what happened the last time you went to war with Mordant.

Thanks, Avatar!

New question:
According to what Castellan Lebbick told Artagel, why did Lebbick pick Ribuld to be his bodyguard?
