Isida Kep'Tukari said:*Renea bends down over the map again and points to some of the hidden tunnels that will allow the Cagebreak team to reach the upper level. The going will be a bit rough, involving some climbing, or flying as the case may be.*
"The thing is is there's about eighty slaves. A quarter will be children and another quarter are probably either old, pregnant, crippled, or so broken in spirit that they'll be hard to move. This is going to be tricky, particularly with the route we're going to have to take," she mutters.
"The mindflayers said they were going to create the expected attack when they break to the lower level so they don't get suspscious. Aboleth A-si'ra was going to send some skum to add muscle to the attack for good measure. Aside from that, what other ideas do you have?" Dessa asks, turning to the party. "You obviously have plenty of useful skills that we don't always have the opportunity to use, so speak up!"
"The dragons will suspect that something other than a frontal assault is occurring; it's not a tactic we generally use. I'd advise a deception within a deception. I can create a secondary distraction, either an assassination attempt on Gardanax, or the illusion of an attempted cagebreak in a different area and direction. If they're splitting their forces between that and the main attack, the break itself should go unnoticed for long enough."
