(Dogs require a lot of attention.  They get bored easily, just like a toddler--unless they are old and then they sleep a lot.)

Torene had managed to get past the difficulties with the Arch Mage by convincing him that she was not there to take over the University, only to aid in the coming battle. She played the angle that she had much battle experience and couched her orders as strong suggestions, pointing out weaknesses in the venerable mage's plans and offering alternatives. The strongest mages were placed in high positions on the outer walls and the less powerful or inexperience ones took places inside the city to supplement the last line of defense, the City Watch. Hopefully the more powerful ones would be able to join them if necessary, but they fervently hoped that would not be needed.

Torene herself was about to take a position in the watch tower closest to the city gate, when word came that contact had been made in the Waterfront District. She headed there instead.
