Yggdrasil (Afina, Moore, Jaela)

[Ebiris]

Afina nods mutely. She has much to think about, and much work to be done... and precious little time to manage either.

[Anastasia]

You return to Aurora. You find Tree within, a rather confused Bubbles talking to him. "...and then I was here!"  you overhear him saying to her, "Nice ghost let me in!"

Plans now, all of you?

[Ebiris]

I need to sort my spells out, make some quick items, and then take some sneaky folks to go attack Willah and rescue Lief. Sneaky folks are currently on Niefelheim so we can wait on them at least. Also peeps need to organise an attack on Lixer's ethereal fortress?

Open to all other suggestions though!

[Nephrite]

For my reference, how many days has it been since we met that dragon? If it's been a week, it's probably not a bad idea to reach out to him again. Other than that, Moore would ask how much of what they witnessed they're able to share since there seemed to be some secrecy around all of this before they ventured there in the first place. He's also open to doing whatever to help out.

[Corwin]

Much like Afina, I'd like to get an item and sort out my spells! I'm not sneaky, so if I'm being ditched in favor of dirty sneaks, I'll lead the main assault/distraction on Lixer's shit.

Also, possibly relevant. Could you please refresh me on where we stand with goldenfire and what our next move seems to be?

[Anastasia]

Okay. Afina, if she has a chance, Kascha would like to talk to you and I'm sure you're in the same boat as well.

It's been a week, Moore.

Who would you ask about security, Moore?

Cor, you got the embers (sorta, they're in Kascha) and need to be fashioned into a key. Another reason to talk to her, actually.

Lemme get todos from all of you real quick and we'll split into new topics.

[Ebiris]

Afina will talk to Kascha, sure.

As far as the attacks go, I say we do our best to bluff Willah by going all in against the ethereal fortress and make it look like team sneak is breaking off from the main force to infiltrate his fortress or whatever and then actually surprise gate to Lifasa and go fuck shit up there.

Lets ask Yian for more details on Willah's holdings on Lifasa so we can actually figure out where she has Lief, too.

[Anastasia]

Outstanding. Could you check your interrogations for what Yian's told you about her before, Afina?

[Nephrite]

He'd ask Hanna about it first and see where she suggests he go.

After that he'd do a Sending to the gold dragon whose name I cannot remember and I can't find the post on for some reason to ask if now is a good time to visit back, since I believe he specified a week's time.

[Ebiris]

Willah is still of some fey blood, as well as a great marshal and leader of soldiers. A bat of her eyes or a single smile can cause men to die for her, infecting them with a zeal unknown. When she and Ettan work together, mere lemures can threaten even balors. Worse, her beauty has been enhanced by the unholy powers of the Pit, so that even looking on her risks the soul of a good creature.

...

Willah and Ettan shall lead the armies that sack Aurora and execute all that oppose us. It is written that they shall.

...

Willah: Secretly desires break Ilsenine for her own; one such scheme was found by Yian and used to blackmail her.

[Anastasia]

Okay, both of you have todo things so I'm going to send you to topics of your own for now. I suspect they won't be terribly long lived, this is mostly setup for tidying things up before the coming offensive.

I'm still waiting on Cor here, though most of his stuff is shopping and OOC spell sorting.

[Corwin]

I'll visit Mei, then, before seeking out Gisfal and Adrian.

[Anastasia]

We'll start with that then. Locking this thread, it's done. Good thread, good thread. You did good, thread, yes you did. It's just time for you to go to sleep now, that's all.

What? Why are you all looking at me like that?
