Alyssa considers...

"The point of coming here was to get less scrutiny for ourselves. Though I do agree that slavery is horrific; I value freedom above most everything else.

Bastian and Jarem's concerns about the greater fight are valid..."

Alyssa leans forward and locks eyes with Emily.

"Since this came from a connection to Sierra, see if that connection can tell us if there's going to be another raid elsewhere by Seira's forces or others. If there is, we can time a move with theirs and use it to mask ourselves.

Bastian, Jarem, do the same. If Seira's forces don't have anything planned, let's see if we can't find someone more local that's getting into fights.

Let's get some options before anything final is decided. Emily, was there a time limit on this information?"

[Anastasia]

"There's no time limit, but it's at risk of being less useful the longer we wait," Emily says, "Also Valar - one of Mom's generals - is launching attacks as often as he can. We don't need to worry about that."

"The question lingers: We have a location, but where and what is it, Emily?" Ianvasah asks.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods to Ianvasah.

"She's right. We don't have a huge cadre of diviners any more. I'll have to run some tests on the bowl we got to see how easily detectable it is and set up some security for it. We'll need more information, either way. Bastian, I'm not entirely sure of your reach. What can you suggest?"

[Anastasia]

"Emily's logic about striking sooner than later is sound," Bastian begins, "I haven't been too involved in the war yet, but I've heard things on my trips around. Both sides are focusing on attacking resources and limited probes into the other's planes. Regardless of what the efreet do, we may be beaten to this target by another if we tarry."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods.

"Okay then. If no one has any hard objections, then Emily find out about Valar's next attack. Jarem, get me a list of what you think we need in resources for this. Ianvasah, you're one of our more terrorizing combatants, so you'll need to coordinate with Jarem's plan. I imagine they'll focus on you to a certain degree once you go full dragon on them. Bastian, I'll get you what I can from the bowl for a layout of the facility. You can take your pick between freeing the slaves or going after the commander. I'll do whichever you don't.

Bring me concerns and plans. I want a solid framework before we start on this."

[Anastasia]

General agreement and...

Doing anything else for prep while they set this up?

[Iron Dragoon]

Check to see if there's any way to super stealth the bowl?

[Anastasia]

Super stealth the bowl? What precisely do you mean?

[Iron Dragoon]

Try to make it's scrying undetectable.

[Anastasia]

Is there any example of undetectable scrying that you know of?

[Iron Dragoon]

Not really. I can't find anything that counters things like detect scrying, which is kinda weird.

[Anastasia]

It's not really common short of mind blank.

Tell you what, post about it in loot and I'll hash something out there tomorrow.

In the meantime, anything else?

[Iron Dragoon]

Kill time tutoring sis?

[Anastasia]

Skip alongable for now then.

Soon enough everyone gets back together.

"Good news, there should be some efforts tomorrow," Emily opens up with, smiling, "So we can prepare in the morning and then go."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods.

"Our primary goal will be rescue. Secondary is the commander and Intel."
