Infiltrators (Surraruthru, Tryll)

[Iron Dragoon]

"I agree. Those who need rest should return; if we pull our groups back together, we should have enough force to finish clearing these tunnels. We should also send some elementals to search for any hidden rooms, who knows what traps the devils could have put under the city."

[Anastasia]

As all of you talk, a courre comes from the far passage and hurries over, "Sirs! Ma'ams! We have a probleeeemmmmmmm!"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Unsurprising. What is it, and where is it?"

[Anastasia]

"Ahead!" The courre frantically bobs around, a female blushing and freaking, "There's an entire magical fortress down there made of water and stone and magic and lots of magic, and there's something going on with lots of guards down there!"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, let's get to it, then. Tyrll, can you coordinate the other elemental groups to meet us there? Hopefully my magic will be enough to counter whatever magic is going on there."

Saying so, Surraurthu follows after the Courre scout, letting the others do as their experience lets them, but sending to Tepen, 'One of our scouts has found, 'an entire magical fortress made of water and stone and lots of magic.' There's also something going on with lots of guards. Will send more when we reach it.'

[Anastasia]

'Understood. Good luck,' Tepen sends, and then to Afina, 'Will you be staying down there, General?'

[Ebiris]

"We'll stick together for the time being, at least until I know if this fort is going to be a bigger problem or not," Afina says, relaying the same to Tepen.

[Yuthirin]

The two groups we sent out, are they within range to speak to via telepathy?

[Anastasia]

Yes, as you all are running on telepathic bond setups. That works across the entire plane, Tryll. Going to do something here?

[Yuthirin]

'Status report?' Tryll sends to the two elemental/courre groups.

[Anastasia]

'We have found a devil base,' An earth elemental replies to you. 'We are holding position and defending ourselves for now, sir.'

[Yuthirin]

"The other groups are reporting in, they're already at the base. Let's go!" Calleigh says.

[Ebiris]

"This is your operation, we'll follow your lead," Afina says, rather than disrupt the chain of command on a mission she's just joining part the way through.

[Yuthirin]

"Okie dokie!" Calleigh says, zipping off.

[Anastasia]

You're lead deeper into the sewers, past crushed barricades and beyond the bodies of collaborators. You come around a narrow passage that connects to a much larger one sloping down. Several earth elementals are here, one lumbering forward, "The fortress is below, follow this path," it rumbles.
