Benfal (Afina, Jaela)

[Corwin]

"There you have it. We'll be ready within a day. How about your forces?"

[Ebiris]

"You've helped us a lot so far, and now we're ready to repay it," Afina says to Antenora after that. "Whenever you're ready for the final assault, we'll be there. Aurora can be used as a beachhead to secure anywhere you need a fortified redoubt on short notice, or we can besiege any of Hell's own fortifications and tie down their ability to respond to a more wide ranging attack. I'd like to think the tactics we use here will help give us good practice for when we return to Lifasa in force, anyway."

[Anastasia]

"I don't know now, but I will soon," Antenora says, rising. "I will return after consulting with Alicia and Syala. I will use magic and prayer so it will not take long."

[Ebiris]

"We're at your disposal," Afina nods, settling in to wait.

[Corwin]

"If you need an escort, don't hesitate to ask," Jaela offers, likewise having no problem with waiting on the answer.

[Anastasia]

Antenora soon returns.

"One week." That's the answer, "Prepare yourselves until then. Semyaza will not take his personal fief being taken lightly, a battle between him and Sylica has been long in the making."

[Ebiris]

"I'll let Ebony know to act as a liaison. Pass on word through her as to where and how you'd like us deployed?" Afina asks.

[Corwin]

"Do we want to use the ex-efreet ships?" Jaela asks, glancing between Antenora and Afina. "A week might be enough to bring at least a few up to spec."

[Anastasia]

"Mmm, yes. They'd be good against a lot of fire attacks devils may use," Antenora decides.

[Ebiris]

"I don't see a great deal of value in those to be honest," Afina confesses. "Our forces aren't large enough that we'd benefit from being able to send a few dozen bodies off on a flying ship far away from Aurora, and Aurora itself serves perfectly for deploying the bulk of our forces anywhere in the world that they're needed."

[Corwin]

"Do you mind taking a closer look at them with me all the same?" Jaela asks Afina. "I've been meaning to use one for myself and add some stealth to it, but the basic upgrades to get them powered up should be identical and thus easily copied once we figure out how to do them."

[Ebiris]

"I should have time for it, but I'm no shipwright," Afina acquiesces in the face of the two angels' enthusiasm for the project.

[Anastasia]

Okay plans then? Y'all have a week.

[Corwin]

I'll have Finnegan figure out who we have that can actually effectively crew the ships. If we just don't have enough people to utilize them properly, I'm sure Antenora could send people over for that. The holds should be fairly large, if nothing else.

I want to figure out how to add the engines/power to the ships and see just how the GoldenSpear works, but that's OOC.

So IC I'll go visit the Terminal Archive after all. Vul'lath aside, who else wants to come with?

[Ebiris]

I guess I'm looking at boats?

Past that I'll be drilling our forces to get them sharp and in shape, so no time to go adventuring for me.
