Afina and Jaela's planning session (Afina, Jaela)

[Anastasia]

Afina and Elena wait in Jaela's suite, as...

Jaela and Afina, this one is up to y'all, so go ahead and open.

[Corwin]

Jaela emerges in simple, cotton clothes, a fluffy towel drying her hair. "What did I miss?" she asks, to respect the pair that waited long enough to talk to her already.

[Ebiris]

"I spoke to Makaril about a potential attack on Lifasa," Afina says. "Something to alleviate the pressure on his side. He mentioned that Harkin would be hosting Duke Malphas soon, and while we investigated that it seemed too much like a trap. Still, I'd like us to investigate some sort of more active presence on Lifasa. Whether trying to catch one of the traitors directly or striking something else. The reason I waited is since most of our actions can be predicted by destiny, having you choose the target while holding that goldenfire spear would better guarantee us surprise."

[Anastasia]

"That makes sense," Elena says, "Though you'd need to move fast, since once others know, wouldn't their destinies start to reveal it?" She hums and huffs out a puff of air, "Destiny reading and divination always confuses me when it gets like that."

[Ebiris]

"It's still more advantage than we'd have otherwise."

[Corwin]

"Yeah, that works," Jaela agrees. "Of course, we can just gather everyone and leave the decision to just before leaving. So what's our option, here? A swift strike at Harkin with a minimal crew, or an all-out assault on his bolthole? As for the others, Quinn or Mala would be a good match for us if we could get at either."

[Anastasia]

Elena is wearing a poofy ballgown and jewelry. "Also, shouldn't you have the spear out for this?"

[Corwin]

"Of course not. We should discuss as many possible plans of action first, then take it out."

[Ebiris]

"The Harkin thing feels too well set up, we should leave him for now and go after one of the others. I'd suggest Ettan, since he and Willah are their greatest force multipliers," Afina says. "But the decision must be yours. We could look at our gathered intelligence, get any follow ups you need from divinations or prisoners on likely targets then have you choose a suitable one."

[Corwin]

"Then let's collect information on those three," Jaela suggests, finishing toweling off her hair and materializing her armor. "Ettan, Quinn and Mala. I'll take a look at the Harkin plans as well, just to be on the safe side."

[Anastasia]

Silence. It stretches and stretches.

"Um. Are you waiting on me for something?" Elena asks.

[Corwin]

"You're the one who listens to everything that goes on around here, and remembers it all," Jaela points out. "Whereas I'm the one that goes and fights that which must not be named."

[Ebiris]

"Lets go to the war room and look at some of our collected interrogation and intelligence reports!" Afina blurts out to rescue them from the awkwardness.

[Anastasia]

"Oh." Elena says, "Well, do you know anything about them at all already?"

OOC for one sec here. Let me know what you do know, so we're all on the same page and this expo bomb can go smoothly. Yuth's topic on the traitors may help you here.

[Ebiris]

We know all about who they are what they specialise in. We're looking for stuff like 'has a horrible torture factory at the ruins of Blisstopia' or 'trains elite forces in Scumville'. Just some fun hooks we can use to go make a mess of.

edit: We've captured and interrogated hundreds of devils but only a few notable ones got proper interrogation reports and a lot of the minor operational stuff never got recorded in thread but presumably Aurora does keep massive records on all this stuff that we can collate and put to use for stuff like this without needing to go gank a fresh devil or send Tannin out.
