To cure rotting earth (Ithea, Moore)

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. Oh! It's time to not be selfish.

"After the business with Earth is settled, would Lord Crystalle know of how to obtain a smithing hammer that Aurora's master craftspixie can use?"

[Anastasia]

"Yes."

One more, make it count.

[Nephrite]

Moore taps his nose.

"Is the Duke of Destiny going to show himself personally at any of our attacks?" He has a feeling this one won't be clear, but...

[Anastasia]

"Unclear." Yeeeep.

Go ahead and report to the others.

[Nephrite]

Moore takes a breath and turns to everyone.

"They know we're coming already, but Lord Crystalle will help us get there." Moore explains. "It's best if Baleruk stays here, since it's unclear if Aurora will be attacked while we're gone."

[Anastasia]

"Well fuck, just the way I like it." Dana says, "That means lots of fucking violence."

[Merc]

"Would Mineral react negatively if we all head over, or is it best if a smaller group heads there and we regroup before heading to Earth?" Ithea asks Moore. "I'd like to meet Lord Crystalle and introduce myself regardless, but you and Crystal are the only ones that have met up with him so far."

[Nephrite]

"I don't think he'd react negatively," Moore starts with a considerating look at the floor for a moment. "I think it would show how serious the situation is."

[Merc]

"Good. You and Crystal would know him best from your interactions with him. I know I wouldn't have been happy to have a large team bearing weapons like ours coming in, but that's me," Ithea comments, hoping Crystal doesn't have a disimilar opinion to Moore's. "Hrm...well, let's get prepped up and we can all head out then. Rosa will need to get means to travel, some scrolls of flight or a wand maybe, and the golems will need to be readied. So you're all aware, I have a mace that was gifted by Lady Sunnis which allows the user to earth glide. I'll probably use that for scouting. Any other ideas for prep?"

[Anastasia]

Some quiet discussion before Balyss says, "I think we're good," she remarks.

Go ahead and outline your plan and I'll move y'all along.

[Nephrite]

Moore will lead the group back to Crystalle's castle, request to meet with him and then basically take it from there.

[Anastasia]

Okay. Who's opening the portal to Mineral and where are you aiming it?

[Nephrite]

Oh, I was under the impression that Crystalle had opened one to and from Aurora. In that case, I call not it, but will say we just open it outside of Crystalle's palace if we can be that specific.

[Merc]

I can open a gate if nobody else can, but we really should send a smaller unarmed group if we can't get to the palce directly.

[Anastasia]

He opened a portal but it wasn't permanent, no. Think more the gate spell than an actual, permanent portal.

The palace is warded as is standard for a planar lord's domain. Gating in isn't happening.

Edit since I forgot a part: If you're sending in a smaller group to the palace, whatever. Declare who it is so we can get going.
