[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7451601, member: 79141"] [b]Session 58, Part Three - The Best Laid Plans[/b] Korrigan, Andrei and Gupta entered the church in North Shore. A solemn memorial was taking place for family bravuras who had died during the initial attack on Flint and the bombardment of the Government District. When the service was over Morgan Cippiano approached them. He told them that the person giving orders as ‘Stover Delft’ was wearing a pair of shoes that Cippiano had gifted to Malthusius before he disappeared four years ago - magical shoes that changed to match one’s outfit, but also had the power to help the wearer change his entire appearance. “They murdered our friend and now they are wearing his shoes,” he hissed. “This must not stand.” Malthusius had also been a fast friend of Bishop Antonescu, who Morgan now reintroduced them to. Antonescu was an athletic, venal and ambitious priest. He offered them help on the condition they accepted a blessing. (It would no doubt serve his cause to relay to his superiors that he had bestowed a clergy blessing on the new king of Risur.) Gupta turned and stalked out of the church to wait on the steps. (These people had massacred hers.) Korrigan and Andrei submitted themselves to Antonescu’s ministrations.

They still needed the Coaltongue. If Uru was conscious, it would have been an easy matter for him to scout out the ship’s defences. In his absence, a slightly more convoluted method was called for: Leon passed invisibly to the Royal Docks, chose someone he could readily impersonate, took on their form, and conducted a series of apparently casual chats with some of the soldiers there. He learned that there were hundreds of men and two huge constructs hidden in warehouses on either side of the main square, a whole company on the ship itself and – perhaps most important of all – that the Danorans had rigged explosives on the Coaltongue’s propeller mechanism.
