Moving on

[Iron Dragoon]

"They disappeared under the water, but I doubt they're gone. Jarem, organize the mages into more efficient groups, get an offense team working with a defense team, or whatever mix you think is best, tactican. Emily, be prepared to be our hammer along with Ianvasah. I don't have much left int the way of big flashy spells, but I'll fill holes and hold attention where I can. They're defending against lightning, so watch for other elemental openings."

[Anastasia]

"They're smart enough to adjust, press the advantage and possibly use magic," Jarem lists off, "I don't like it. I'll do all of that, but we need someone get more information, even if it's a risk. We're still working mostly blind."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods. "Agreed. Ule, get a group together for divinations, fast. Use wish if you need to. Do it fast, you can decide when wish is needed. Have someone with telepathy to relay the information to us."

[Anastasia]

Ule nods deeply, almost a bow, "It will be done."

[Iron Dragoon]

"You're all competent and we have a frame work for a plan. Jarem has battlefield command. Be ready."

[Anastasia]

Okay, what will you be doing, then?

[Iron Dragoon]

Standing by to take orders and fill holes.

[Anastasia]

Like this the wave is slowly pared down - and as the minutes pass, there seem to be no immediate sign of more of them.

Meanwhile, Ule comes back. "We can discern it is below. Deep below. It was awoken."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Awoken? .... By the raising of the island? Hmm... Try to find out if they can communicate or... Can we force them through a gate to the plane of water or cold?"

[Anastasia]

"Possibly," Ule says. "Maybe." A shrug, "If there are supine and defeated."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa hums...

"What do you think they weighed?"

[Anastasia]

"Several tons," Ule says, "More with the pearls inside of them."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Too heavy... Encase them in ice and move them around that way?"

[Anastasia]

A short nod. "Magic and the might of many."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Work with Jarem and Emily to assign our mage circles to the task. Keep monitoring the creatures with divination to warn us of their re-approach. Jarem, Emily, suggestions?"
