A storm on the silver sea (Everyone)

"Thanks, that's the plan." Origin says, "We're good shock troops or any sort of defense."

[Ebiris]

"I'm keeping our golems in reserve to defend Aurora, but we'll probably fold you into one of our attacking armies," Afina says, keying the gates to allow admittance for these golems without subjecting them to hundreds of magical missiles. Wouldn't do anything to them anyway but it's just wasteful.

As they enter she leads them towards where Smrgol and the three slaughterstone behemoths wait near the gates ready to intercept any enemies that breach their defences. "Here they are, why don't you get acquainted?" she suggests. It'd be nice for them to socialise with intelligent constructs not manufactured by her. Broaden their experiences a little.

[Anastasia]

The golems head right on in. One of them lingers and looks to Afina, "Pixie, right?" It asks, smiling, "What in Lathander's light did you do to cause this? The Morninglord said it was easy to handle since it was like one of his plans going wro-er, getting interesting."

[Ebiris]

"It was a stealthy infiltration of Hopelorn to attack one of Lixer's bases," Afina says. "Things went well, we were dominating the resident devils in combat but they must have had some sort of delicate experimental magic going on that started to destabilise the structure. Of course we wanted to destroy it so we made sure to interrupt their efforts to recover things, but when a chaotic rift Tryll opened early in the battle finished forming it interacted badly with whatever magic the devils were trying. Blasted the entire city into the astral and left that hole to mark its passage."

She'd really like to be proud of destroying Hopelorn too, but the mess in its wake is just too much.

[Anastasia]

The golem whistles - how it does that is anyone's guess - and says, "That happens sometimes, but never that bad. Must've been some planar research or something strange going on there."

[Ebiris]

"If you see any necrolytes in there you can try asking them," Afina suggests.

[Anastasia]

"Oh yeah," The golem grins, metal mouth moving into a smirk. He slams one metal fist into his palm, "Can't wait. This'll be a nice break from dealing with Orcus and his goons, let me tell you. Been working on a demon cult the last few years 'till I got recalled to help sort this mess out."

[Ebiris]

"There should be plenty of variety of foes to sample in there. Devils, yugoloths, slaad, demons, undead, astral dreadnaughts..." Afina lists off a few. "Probably more we don't know about yet. Everyone wants to get involved here it seems like."

[Anastasia]

"Well, that's mighty fine," The golem says, "Good!"

[Merc]

"Hey, Afina!" Ithea calls out from where she's running drills, having heard Afina mention that they'd join up with an attacking group. "Would you say your friends will be in Jaela's group or mine?"

[Ebiris]

"Yours I think," Afina responds, glancing over to Origin. "You're all melee focused rather than magic focused, right?"

[Anastasia]

"Yes. We can manage a little bit of magic, but mostly healing or support," Origin says.

[Ebiris]

Hammer force it is, then! "They're all yours, Ithea. Why don't you get acquainted and see how you can best deploy them?"

[Anastasia]

The golems come right on over to Ithea, "Ithea, right?" Origin asks, "How do you do things around here?"

[Anastasia]

As everyone talks and prepares, Morniel, Jaela and Moore return.

Okay y'all. What I'd like out of you is a coherent plan including who goes where and all of that. Basically a refined version of what Afina posted.
