The three components of Siege force, broken down to allow for three independent commands to drive deep into the heart of the enemy. Aurora's main assault force.

Pacifying Force: Elons Rapid

Spoiler: ShowHide

Tannin, Rosa
100 elven warriors
Aurora's fleet of ships

The force in charge of keeping Elons Rapid pacified and to discourage any devil resurgence in the area. Roughly at a ratio of a solder per fifty residents, before the ships come into the equation.

Strategy

Aurora's fleet of ships is to be left behind to support the pacifying force and serve as a force multiplier for them stationed above Elons Rapid. Meanwhile, a gate will be opened into the Astral, and from it several more that lead towards positions surrounding Liber. The Blockading Force will be dispatched through all land-locked approaches to the naval base, while Baleruk will depart through the gate coming from the sea side. Aurora will follow suit a minute later, traveling through the two gates to emerge behind Baleruk if a breach had been organized in the defenses. In the unlikely event Baleruk was unsuccessful, the Aurora will seek to use the gate on the opposite side of the city and make use of the focus of the defenders upon Baleruk's assault.

Siege forces 1 through 3 will be deployed from Aurora into a single, massive assault into the base. Once perimeter had been breached, each force will move under the guidance of its leader (Adrian, Mirima, Cresiel). Primary objective is securing the base and defeating all devil opposition in the area. Secondary objective is managing this with such overwhelming force that devil resistance in the region falters, and collaborators are driven to surrender. The Rapid Response Force will be dispatched when called upon by any of the Siege commanders to clear out a blockage, and deploy to crush localized devil resistance in strength.

[Anastasia]

Looks good. I'm going to see about the sewer scenario then get you all moving in the morning.

[Anastasia]

Sewers is going to run long since they're dealing with that fortress. We ready to go here?

[Nephrite]

I'm good.

[Anastasia]

One small problem: Bubbles, Dana and Misalea are with the sewer party right now.

[Anastasia]

Okay, where will Moore and Jaela be during all of this? Attacking the other city or something else, since I don't see them there and want to be clear I have all my ducks in a row.

[Corwin]

As I said PCs are free to choose the positions they like! Jaela will be in overall command of Siege and travel with Mirajane. Sylvie, once she's done, will rejoin me.

[Anastasia]

Cool. Moore?

[Nephrite]

Let's have Moore go with Jaela and company so we can be the Anti-Dick of Destiny squad

[Anastasia]

Awesome. New thread for you two incoming.
