"The first thing I want to address are our alliances. Currently our only ally is the Brotherhood. So now that we're settling in it is time we spread ourselves out. I want you, the people, to help me decide who we should turn to. Remember, anti-clans and immoral groups will not be eligible for our needs. I refuse to have us roped in with sinful beasts."
Briareos flexed his claws at the mere thought of anti-clans, like The Skulls, the Cartel, and much more. Evil groups, filled with dark vile monsters.
"So, any suggestions? I intend to speak with ThunderClan, so I will need your help Meg on that front."

Guess that depends on which groups also still celebrate StarClan as well, plus we're lacking in allies just now so getting other groups involved might be difficult XD
@Auto
Don't worry, I remember you alerting me to the situation.
Dovey
That would be great if you could :)
I'll sticky it once it's up.

Briareos is the leader of the Chaotic-Good clan RiddleClan, and he really hates anticlans. He could capture them with the intentions of 'making an example' of him if you like. Plus RiddleClan could benefit from plots too XD

His whiskers twitched as his nostrils flared, drinking in the scents from the landscape around him. Like any predator he was on the trail of something, a prey that he sorely wished to close in upon. The Rebellion of Terminus to be exact, a group who had quickly found themselves on his radar. Not all that long ago RiddleClan, formally the Tribe of Burning Dreams, had been close allies with the Rebels, and it was that fact that he wished to prey upon.
Briareos arrived at the border and his gaze scoured the land ahead until he saw movement.
"Hello, I've come from the Tribe of Burning Dreams, can I have a quick word please? It's important."
The lion would call out, intending to lure his victim over. |

Excellent, they had taken the bait it seemed.
"My name is Briareos, I've come to deliver some news about our alliance, things have changed."
Briareos started as he took a couple paces forward, his gaze soft and gentle, hiding the sinister nature of this encounter.
"It's changed for the better though, and it involves individuals such as yourself. What is your name though? It's rude of me to not ask."

"That's good to hear. Now then, about the change..."
A part of him did second guess his motives for doing this, but yet how else was he going to make a change in this world? Sometimes even those geared towards the greater good had to wage war, it was the only way to achieve peace. At least, that's how he convinced himself to believe.
The lion moved off towards Pearl's left side, seemingly about to do a 'walk and talk', but in a flash things changed. A vicious roar escaped the lion as he attempted to strike him across the back of the head with a savage blow, intending to stun him.
"... The change starts with the destruction of the anticlans and gangs!"
Briareos would bellow, and if his earlier attack had been successful he would aim to grab him by the scruff with the intentions of carrying him off.

//No worries XD
"Hm? Our allies?"
The lion's attention peaked as he side-glanced at Akina as he continued to walk, each step causing his muscles to ripple beneath his pelt.
"Yes, we are indeed lacking in them. But we must chose carefully when we go searching for other groups, and some who would be ideal were once our former enemies. So understandably there could be old hostility that we will confront."
Briareos would rumble in reply, echoing his worries. Those of the new age would of course be unaware of the chaos that once ravaged the group and he knew it was his duty to share the history and to try to right the wrongs.
[b]"But do you have any groups that you'd like to recommend that we try communicating with?"[b] |

"SolsticeClan? That sounds like a good clan to try, BlizzardClan however might be a little more difficult due to it once being a major enemy. But we can always try."
He would nod his head, pleased with the suggestions thus far. Though Briareos then turned his head so he could look at Meg, nodding again.
"Alright, no problem, come find me after the meeting and we'll chat."
Lifting a paw he then scoured the group.
"Any other suggestions before I continue on?"

With Pearlcatcher in his jaws he then moved to leave, taking his catch with him.
//If you want one, he might lightly beat him up in a public thread in RiddleClan in order to 'stir the masses', but he won't do anything extreme. Do you want me to make the thread for you? |

"I am sorry to hear that Starjelly. I realise that this isn't easy and I know that there is probably nothing I can do to ease the suffering. But we are here for you, and perhaps we can work together to try and look for him. He might still be alive, but at the very least we can try to find clarification so you can finally have an answer."
Briareos spoke up as he looked at Star. He partly could relate to her pain, he had lost lovers. Snowflower, his first love was long gone. Then he had lost Larksong, though she had made it back to him at least. |

Briareos stood in the courtyard, a grim expression darkening his features as he stood over Pearlcatcher from the Rebellion of Terminus, a group who had once been close allies with RiddleClan during the tribe days. But now... well, lets just say things were different now.
"RiddleClan, gather round. It is time I made things clear about our goal, so I want you to watch."
The lion would call out as he flexed his claws, just daring his captive to try something. Just anything to give him a valid excuse to respond.
"The anticlans are a poison, and it is time they were dealt with once and for all. Much like how Riddlestar and I once rode out to war in order to defeat the Tribe Where Omens Fall and their allies we will do so again. We will eradicate those who defile the natural order. I devote myself in the name of StarClan."
Had he gone mad? Perhaps, but he had always been ready to make tough calls ever since his original life as Grim. He still recalled the day he murdered a she-cat from VikingClan in the name of justice, and he never lost that capability. |

"Alright then. In which case I need a volunteer to go to SolsticeClan, BlizzardClan and I want someone to go to SunClan to negotiate an alliance. I will handle ThunderClan with Meg."
He would speak up, now hoping others would come forward to accept the tasks.
"Next, I need another volunteer to run a Thanksgiving Event for RiddleClan and its allies. Any takers?"
Briareos was really needing someone with a better knowledge than himself to handle that task. He his roleplayer was ignorant on it apart from knowing that turkeys were involved for whatever reason. |

"Hm? What's happening Sel?"
Briareos would speak up as he slowly approached, his eyes now keenly eyeing the female. Though he could smell The Brotherhood lingering strongly in the air, was this the visit that she had previously mentioned? It seemed so. |

"As I said before you and your group are more than welcome here. Though I will admit I wasn't expecting to see you so soon."
Briareos nodded, offering her a welcoming smile.
"I guess you'll be needing a tour of the asylum and shown the spare rooms where you can rest, correct?"
At least there were plenty of spare rooms to go around meaning everyone could have their own personal space. |

"Hm, yes, looking after your people is indeed a 'dirty deed' when you gain wealth and resources through drug dealing and the like. Do not play innocent. I know what your group dabbles in."
Briareos mused as he looked at his captive with a bemused expression. The lion would aim to press a paw down upon his victim, intending to flatten Pearlcatcher against the ground in an act of dominance.
"I intend to do what is necessary, if this feline is smart they will accept their punishment. But if they rebel or attempt to make anymore further quips then I will gradually make this punishment steadily worse for him."
The Primus would explain as he looked at Starjelly, a grim edge to his tone of voice. |

Nodding his head the lion would then look at Pippa and Romankit whilst offering them a warm smile. Turning around he would then flick his tail as he gestured for them to follow his lead.
"Come, I will take you to the asylum and show you around. Though the majority of our territory is forested terrain, but we live in the old asylum. A good thing too as it should give us shelter during the coming winter."

//It's alright, I understand. Good luck then!
"MAEVE!"
The roar rolled out from the lion's maw, a mixture of fury and grief leaving him as he stood over the corpse of the vampire's victim. Briareos had been patrolling the asylum when he had witnessed the final moments of the attack, just enough to confirm his fears at last. The Primus felt a deep sense of betrayal, he had truly wanted to overcome his terror regarding her hence why he had trusted her to be a medic. But now... he should have trusted his gut instinct.
"Find her! Bring her to me!"
He would bellow, he wanted to bring her to face justice for her crimes. He wanted... he sorely wanted to see her executed for her malicious act. |
