The hoard: always (Surraruthru, 84 days left)

[Iron Dragoon]

"Is anyone around that's... decently able to deal with slaad? I need to go to limbo, and quickly apparently."

[Anastasia]

"27?" Elena suggests, "If you can get him to help out."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru winces.

"I suppose, but he seems to like me. And that worries me. If I take him, I should probably try to get Hanna to go to help keep him in line."

[Anastasia]

Elena giggles at that, "Sure, go tell Hanna that."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods. "Where is she currently at? And how's Balyss doing?"

[Anastasia]

"Hanna's training and Balyss is resting, she's doing fine," Elena replies.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surrauthru nods. "Thank you."

He turns to go and find Hanna.

[Anastasia]

It's easy enough to find Hanna. Once you pull her away from training, "So, you want me to go with you and 27 to Limbo for Baleruk?" Hanna asks, arms crossed. "Do I have the right of this?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Mostly. Baleruk wants to molt gems in whatever attempt he's cooked up to satisfy Renbuu. He wants the essence of a rainbow and says I need to repeatedly cast prismatic magic. In limbo that's going to attract all kinds of headaches. I want to try and use 27 to screen some of that, but he's a problem of his own, and from what I can tell, you're about the only one who can get any kind of reins on him."

[Anastasia]

"This sounds like a horrible idea from top to bottom, and quite frankly anyone with a functioning brain should flee from it," Hanna says, not even missing a breath. "Which is why I'm going, so that no one dies from this imminent fiasco."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I'm fully aware. I gave Baleruk multiple better ideas than this and he just got... pouty. He even claims to already know the true name of rainbows, so locating the essence of one should be a simple matter for him. I think he's just trying to avoid Renbuu. I even told him to just go find a gem dragon for a mate or something. Since this is going to be an unmitigated disaster from the start, do you have suggestions on who else to try and bring?"

[Anastasia]

"You want to drag more people into this fiasco?" Hanna asks, challenges really.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Only enough to help get everyone out alive. And preferably sane."

[Anastasia]

"Then keep it lean," Hanna says, "If the three of us can't manage it, we gate in reinforcements," Hanna's voice is firm. "Mirajane and Arrel would both be useful if we need them for that. Adrian if we need a warrior, or Cresiel if we need a hybrid."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods.

"Then we'll inform them of it, at the very least, so they can be ready in case."
