OOC: My hope was that while Gavril was inside, Skáth would stay close to provide back up and that the others would spirit the Maor out of the house for his safety and Gavrils. I'm not sure that everyone is on board with Gavril's plan.
OOC: That was my understanding also.

OOC: Cyr is against it, but as a newbie in the team he will go with others. Nobody commented on my post earlier about taking Maor.

Earlier post

OOC: But, I thought you said you could pacify him so that this wouldn't be a problem? I"m willing to consider an alternative plan, if you have one.
 

Sorry, I thought I responded to the earlier post. Anyway, what I intended to say was that we need not take him by force, you could get him out of his palace on a pretence or even for a legitimate reason. If we knew where the Fey were that would be a good reason to get him out or merely to reveal that his military officers and a woman are plotting against him. Sharing with him the problems in neighboring Redharc (sp?) on the eve of his intended visit would do as well. Getting the ring off him should be a priority too.
 

Skath

OCC - I'd like to see if we could also get the Maor out without force, in fact, I think we would abandon if he does not will ingly come with us. Skath will gladly provide support to Gavril though realize the 'support' will be minimal.
 

Cyr alternative plan

I'll risk repeating myself in stating that I don0t yet know all the circumstances, but my suggestion would be something like this:

Send open letter from Bairdéir to Maor that states that sense of fear and distrust has been tracked to the lair of Daoine deBith operating within in the city. This goes in hope that someone will intercept it and react on it.

Second avenue of attack would be covertly getting the letter of warning to Maor that states there is assasination attempt brewing from Radharc, with assassin already within his own dungeons. This assassin was brought in the house only so he can get to know inside. The plan was to let him escape, and voila, he escaped! Either sign it as Bairdéir or find, which I admit is unlikely in this short time, loyal servant that Maor would recognize and sign him. Ideally, letter should appear to Maor without anyone giving it to him, maybe falling from the ceiling or appearing on his chair so he sits on it via some serious sneaking or disguise.

Third and final is Gavril giving hints that he is dissatisfied in Bairdéir service, his leg giving him trouble and Queen not listening to his needs to be a teacher in Bairdéir academy. That he is looking for a place to be his own man and that he is willing to consider alternate employer offer. All this could go at the same time and in the meantime we can try to track deBith in the city. I can go on for a day or two more if need be.
 

Gavril

"I like the way you think. I can certainly work on your third suggestion. The other two will of course happen much more slowly if the source of the letters is not to be obvious."
 

Cairn MacSidhe

"I am interested to hear how you will get a message to Maor covertly, and in such a way that he will not immediately dismiss it as a hoax."
 

Skath

"I think I could be useful here. I don't think he would dismiss a message from a like-able fellow such as myself." sheepish grin
