Jarem nods a bit to that, "Emily, why don't you tell us about this location now?"

Ianvasah's quiet, "I'd rather like to know so I can prepare as well. We all need to prepare."

"Unless Alyssa has more first?" Emily asks, deferring to you.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Still working on trying to conceal the divination. If I can't find a way, we'll ha e to scry it just before we leave and make a plan fast."

[Anastasia]

"The location is the Farrols, locatedin the Deep Ethereal," Emily explains. "Are you any of you familiar with it?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Am I?

It doesn't ring a bell. This isn't unusual, as the Deep Ethereal is fairly quiet and obscure, with all sorts of discreet holdings.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Not to me. The Deep Etheral is pretty sparse for information sometimes."

[Anastasia]

Headshakes all around, with Bastian adding, "Not surprising, no."

"It's a bank, sort of. They hold anything there. Money, property, magical items, ideas - even slaves. As long as you pay the banking fee and you know someone to get you in," Emily explains. "It's exclusive and private, serving a select clientele."

"Including efreet," Jarem finishes. "Who owns and runs it?"

Here Emily takes a breath, "In theory, a detached marut Inevitable. No one knows why he's not doing his normal duty, but he runs the bank precisely and according to its rules."

Alyssa leans back and glances at Jarem and Bastian.

"Well. That's... interesting."

She taps her chin and looks up at the ceiling.

"To be honest... I kind of want to just... steal the whole thing. I wonder.... Teleport Object is a bit limited, and we don't have enough casters to link with cooperative magic to move the entire building, I don't think... Unless we can either sneak a bunch from somewhere or engineer some sort mix with Teleportation Circle. But that's rather limited in size... Or if there's an actual physical vault, but that's limited in size and number of casters, too..

Hmm... What about... A breach? Shift the entire thing into a different plane for our leisure?"

[Anastasia]

"Ambitious," Jarem smiles a bit, "I like the idea, but can we do it in reality?"

Ianvasah says, "Some sort of huge portal?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Maybe... I'm not sure we could make a portal that large, but... Hm... I wonder if I can work out a more powerful version of Shrink Item. If we could reduce the size of the building, then a large portal might be feasible. Maybe... A rune or spell circle of some sort. Apply it to the outer walls, activate all at once? What do you think?

A Gate is roughly... 20 feet in size. We could maybe link multiple, but I think that's more likely to just rip chunks off of the building. Unless you have an idea?"

[Anastasia]

"Ahem," Bastian clears his throat, "More importantly, can you do it within the time allotted?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"... We might be able to, actually. Emily, Delaize, and I are all... very advanced mages. If we work together, we might actually be able to figure it out. I won't say that we should plan only for it, but... If you and Jarem work out a plan for us to follow in case we can't, that'll let us focus on it."

I just kinda threw it out there. I have no idea if we can? It depends on which route is more reasonable to you. The shrink item thing is a low level enough spell that it should be considered exceedingly simple to the three of us to expand on. It's a level 3 spell, so extremely basic. At my CL, it'll clear 64 cu ft, which isn't huge, but will certainly cover a wall. A more powerful version of it linked by runes or a spell circle should be reasonable, in my mind, especially if you consider the existence of the Instant Fortress item.

I'm not talking like pocket sized building here, but a gate is 20 ft in diameter, so shrinking a building down to that size should be reasonably possible when you have an Instant Fortress item that's a 20 sq. ft. wide and 30 ft. tall building that shrinks down to a pocket sized cube.

[Anastasia]

It would also depend on the size of the building. Do you have any idea how big the building is?
