[Jay is by the front of the house the coven is staying in, pacing back and forth. He looks focused and serious, not at all smiley, which may or may not be a surprise to some of you. There's also a small-but-growing crowd of coven members, and maybe one or two Palai, too.]

Thank you for coming. You may have heard from the Palai about the raids that are conducted on the city by a warring species, the Uvi. I believe some of our number will be acting on this threat no matter what, so we thought it would be best to meet as a group and form a plan. In short, our goals are to first prevent the Uvi from doing any damage in the coming raid, and then work with the Palai to find a more permanent solution to the problem, if that's possible. We'll outline what we think is the ideal plan of action, but we welcome input from anyone with experience in the relevant areas.
