A book and many things to do

[Anastasia]

"That's an idea. Bind several and have them work for us," Jarem says, "Are you familiar with the magic for it?"

Emily nods, "Oh! We don't have many ash elementals, but I can ask the few we do have."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa points at Emily, "Start with the ones we're friendly with. How many is that? As for the magic, I can manage it. We have others who can as well."

[Anastasia]

"I'd have to go home and check," Emily says, "But at least a dozen. Mom focuses more on the main planes, there's a lot of quasi and para elemental planes," Emily explains, "But Mom's good at dealing with them, too."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "Keep it quiet, but get it done. Jarem, are we lacking any sort of specialists? Emily might be able to pull one or two from her Mother's retinue to bloody these Sharrans. If we can find them."

[Anastasia]

"No one I know," Jarem admits, "It's specialized work because of how unpleasant Ash is, and there's not a lot of call for them."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, maybe Cruchy will know someone. Let's get it pulled together and find them, fast. I don't want them to slip away."

[Anastasia]

Cool. Next move then?

[Iron Dragoon]

Nothing specific until those pieces are in place. Just scouting and setting up for it.

[Anastasia]

Gimme a quick d100 then, I'm mostly setting you for this evening.

[Anastasia]

Gimme another d100, you hit SUBTABLES.

[Iron Dragoon]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d100 : 72, total 72[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

Who all is scouting?

[Iron Dragoon]

I assume Bastian, me, and whoever else we can find that's interested and competent at scouting.

[Anastasia]

Jarem and Ianvasah. Emily's off to a quick Cauldron trip and Dolmaya will be the magical reserve.

You've been at it a few hours when you see it - a depression in the endless expanse of ash, about 10ft deep, notable.
