Survivors

The archon nods, "Thank you, but only longer term spells will help. We won't be leaving until we're done with a briefing, and that will take some time."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Most of what I have doesn't last that long." A smile and a shrug. "I'm sure you all have your own people who can help out. Tell you what, if you ultimately can spare the few moments for me to do my thing before you go, I can go somewhere, set everything up and leave, and you can all pass through without me even knowing you arrived. That way I can still be useful without compromising anything."

[Anastasia]

"That would be most gracious of you," The archon bows, "If my superior chooses to take that offer, he will be in touch directly."

[Nephrite]

A smile and a nod.

"Oh, there is one thing I can do, at the very least." Moore says, as he flies over to tap both of them once. "Keep yourselves, safe, all right?"

Fortunate Fate, CL20.

A turn and a grin to Kaja. "Especially you." A nod to them both before he heads back!

[Anastasia]

Gimme a quick d100.

You fly back down without incident, Hope's Landing in sight once more. As you descend, Grias flies up and calls, "Moore," he calls, "You got a message with a task, I believe!"

[Nephrite]

"That was fast..." Moore says. "Let's see it."

[Anastasia]

A letter is given to you, "Oh, and I think it's serious, so be ready to go. I had the others get ready in case it is."

[Nephrite]

Moore will read the given letter!!

[Anastasia]

It reads as follows.

Duke Moore, this evening, you will be dispatched to crush an efreet wizard's outpost and bring him back alive. His name is Abdel the Flameseeker and resides in Magma. Take all needed precautions. He is a skilled abjurer who we believe is providing aid to the enemy. Bring dispelling magic and force of arms to overcome his guardians, believed to be various types of golems. He is reclusive and reinforcements are unlikely, though not impossible.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods.

"All right." He says as he continues to travel back!

[Anastasia]

Any prep to do in lieu of that?

[Nephrite]

Nope, all our stuff can just be cast a little bit before 'evening,' or whatever it is.

[Anastasia]

Soon enough all of you gather, waiting further word and preparing as...

Go ahead and cover your setup, we'll assume you time as desired so we can get on with this.
