Lizard shuffle

Alyssa raises an eyebrow, "I literally asked her point blank what her plan was and she didn't say anything."

[Anastasia]

"I think she meant get up, mobilize as needed and go fight Ogremoch," Emily says at last, "She's not timid."

[Iron Dragoon]

"That's also not a battle plan, that's just bashing your way through things. Look, I'm not expecting a full deployment plan. You know what I mean. We've got plenty of tacticians here. She can work with anyone, even me, but there needs to be more than, "Go fight.""

[Anastasia]

"I'll talk to her," Emily promises.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Emily, this is something I should be talking to her about, but... You're more her kind than I am. Just let her know I have no desire to have followers. I want equals. Leaders. I want her to grow into everything she can be."

[Anastasia]

"I will," Emily says, "Or you can go talk to her?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I do plan to talk to her, but you already have a rapport with her. Just set the foundation and I'll follow up."

[Anastasia]

Emily gets up and goes to do just that.

As you await that?

Oh Alyssa, it's funny. Waukeen had no idea at all. Apparently she hadn't noticed that one yet at all.

[Iron Dragoon]

... Does that mean the Lady of Gold... Owes us one?

[Anastasia]

A favor, yes. Some of that I redeemed by getting a promise to let us handle it.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alright. Do you have an idea of what you want to do with this potential target? We can't be overt or Gargauth won't bite.

[Anastasia]

A business opportunity that entices him, but requires his presence on another plane. That seems the most simple.

[Iron Dragoon]

Agreed. We found the lead, but none of us are merchants, exactly. Do you have someone to take charge in this and act as liaison between us?

[Anastasia]

I do. You can't help but ensnare a few when you reside in Brightwater.

[Iron Dragoon]

I look forward to offering my hospitality to them. I may take the chance to speak to them about some trade opportunities, as well.
