Sometimes when playing D&D, you just belt out banger fucking lines.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a war to wage, and you all have a war to win."
For context: Our campaign is taking place in a large archipelago with two primary political powers that have just spiraled into war against one another. This war is mostly a result of demonic corruption infiltrating the leadership of one of the nations and twisting it to evil ends. Typical D&D stuff. The PC party is part of a 'terrorist' organization (really more of a secretive rebel faction) that is trying to investigate and eliminate said demonic corruption.
The above quote was said by the commander of the 'good' aligned faction's military. She is in charge of waging the war and managing the front lines, but she is fully aware of the fact that it is not within the power of her army to actually win. Her people's advantage over the corrupted nation begins and ends on the water.
The party, on the other hand? Well, they don't have to worry about all that so much. They don't have to worry about the logistics of war or any of that. They just have to slip in, find the demons' heart, and cleave it beating from its nest.
All in all, I am very proud of that line up there, and my players seemed to appreciate it, too. Just thought I'd share.

Spiritual seekers need one another as mirrors. A member of the Hopi nation once asked me about our holy days. I was telling him about Passover, our celebration of freedom, and Sukkot, our Feast of Tabernacles, and how they fit in with the cycles of the year. "I think I get it," he said finally. "You people don't want to be in slavery. And you want to pass this on to your children. But when you tell your kids on Passover, 'We have to go away from here; we can't stay here because it will cost us our freedom,' your kids will say, 'Yeah, but what are we going to eat?' So you teach them how to bake bread on stones, how to roast a lamb if you are hungry, how to find dandelion greens, and so on. When the kids ask, 'But where will we stay?' you show them how to build a lean-to, so they will have somewhere to live." An Indian perspective on the mitzvot to eat the Passover lamb with matzot and bitter herbs and to build a sukkah on Sukkot gave me a completely different insight into my own traditions.
