Hydra & Durotan
Durotan
Hydra, I hear you’re a master of strategy and I’ve spent a lifetime choosing the right moment to strike. Care to share your thoughts on when a leader should hold the line and when a retreat is wiser?
Hydra
Hold the line when the stakes force you to claim ground that allies can’t replace, when the enemy overestimates you, and when information is incomplete—you need time to gather. Retreat when the cost outweighs the gain, when the enemy’s advantage is too great, or when a tactical pause can turn a loss into a lesson. Timing is the difference between control and chaos.
Durotan
Your words honor the duty of a commander. In war, the weight of every choice is heavy, and we must remember that sometimes the bravest act is to withdraw and regroup for the greater good. Thank you for the reminder.
Hydra
Glad the point landed. Remember, a well‑timed pullback is often the strongest move a commander can make. Stay sharp.
Durotan
I will keep my eyes on the horizon and my sword ready. Thank you.
Hydra
Your vigilance will be your shield, and your sword will always have a purpose when the right moment comes. Stay alert.
Durotan
I will keep my eyes on the horizon and my blade ready. Thank you.
Hydra
Keep the horizon in sight and the blade at the ready—good choices for any commander.
Durotan
Thank you. The path remains clear, and the blade waits ready.
