"We've been working and gathering information," Sulia declares, "What do you wish to know?"

[Iron Dragoon]

To be honest I don't fully remember what I was doing with them...

"Just a general idea of how things are going, unless there's specifics you think I should know about."

Now I remember. Okay, I still need to do some research and testing for hellfire defenses. My initial response still stands: she was going to gather info on how he fights, but said it was going to be hard, so unless she's gotten some sort of specifics yet, just a general update is fine.

[Anastasia]

"In general, not enough," Sulia says, "I believe I already gave you a broad outline, I haven't found out much more besides a little more information on his dragon companion. His invocations are remarkably deadly, he is a warlock of great power. All I've heard suggests Rathguul will be a deadly opponent."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm... Perhaps we should consider isolating them from each other. A forced plane shift, or if we can force one through a gate... Perhaps just a sort of layered prismatic dome to separate one from the other. Even if it's not something that would endure the entirety of the fight, a few minutes might be enough to throw their tactics and teamwork out of sync."

"I've thought the same," Sulia says as Emily drinks up, "Some sort of lovely distraction to divide and conquer. It will have to be strong, they are no weaklings."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I wonder... Emily, do you think we could... Invite our new potential ally to help with that? I can't imagine Rathguul would have any other reaction except to fly into a rage if he, or one of his champions, show on the field. That could easily bait him away."

[Anastasia]

Emily slowly smiles, "It would be bait, wouldn't it? Cart before the horse, but I think that's a fine idea and one I doubt Bahamut would object to."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I think taking one of Tiamat's sons would be something he'd be greatly interested in as well. I'll look into a way to move Gargauth forcefully. If we can't move him to a different plane, perhaps something as simple as a massive sinkhole to drop him into an underground cavern would work.

I'll also have to think on the Hellfire."

[Anastasia]

"Bahamut's aid would be exceptional," Sulia agrees, "Still, it's a start. Is there anything on your side that you've found?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Not yet. I'll be getting as deep as I can i to it when I return."

[Anastasia]

"Then in the meantime," Sulia sips her drink, "We go forward."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods. "I'm  also going to visit with Queen, if you'd like to come with us."

[Anastasia]

"What a marvelous idea. She's been quiet, she's likely focused on her realm," Sulia rises, "Let's go see how she's doing."

"Oh, now I'm curious too," Emily hops up and balances her drink perfectly, finishing it off before placing it down.
