Depends on what those silverymoon types are willing to help us with. Since we warned Lord Taern and the rest of his buddies, knowingly and willingly dealing with evil types is bound to be frowned upon by their collective deities. Now they can stall while we deal with the immediate problem of the army and the demon-dragon thingie, then we can figure out a way to remove Mr. Zarun head and use it as a hocky puck.
At this point, on dealing with Zarun, my plans pretty much involve ambush and lots of pointy, holified objects thrown or shot in Zarun's general direction, maybe with using either Timrin or Alethia or both as bait. (On the assumption that Zarun is either Raku or Abarax in disguise. My leaning is towards Raku..... But he could just be a minion of either. I'm not much of a plan type girl..... You guys have any ideas?

Going after demon-dragon is my first choice too. Zarun the sneak can wait.
Dunno, but I figure that there must be at least a shrine there, I mean, Illmater is a pretty popular deity, especially in the urban areas. If nothing else, we can go to the temple of Selune or Helm and they'd probly give us a fairly good discount.... Alll things considering.

There is a shrine. Silverymoon is an extremely magical place, and spells tapping into the mythal combined with elven agricultural magics and a much smaller population than megacities like Waterdeep lead to minimal poverty and sickness, so Ilmater is not as widely worshipped there as in other places.
So, noting that the clock is ticking in Waterdeep, how are you gong to deal with the dragon. Or aren't you?

Murdoch pushes for the following:
1) Ask silvermoon mages to help evacuate our followers & equipment using a portal. Those that remain in Waterdeep will disperse and be our eyes and ears.
2) in the meantime, we prepare the airship for an assault
3) We locate the demon dragon using scrying and learn as much as we can from sages/bards/libraries
4) We sneak up on the beast, attacking it by suprise
5) Use the airship for a diversion or cover, from a distance, if need be.
The air ships is an easy target. We'd be better off using as a heavily defended HQ rather than an attack platform.
I see us taking 1 day to prepare, evacuate our folks from waterdeep & recharge spells. The demon hunt should take place the day after.
OCC: DM_Matt, how much treasure have we accumulated? Since we're in a city, we should split what we have, and buy a thing or two...

As far as plans go Timrin would suggest the following (similar to Murdock's ideas above)...
"Our first order of business should be to secure the evacuation and well-being of our team members in Waterdeep. Teleportation and other such magics are beyond my capabilities but I would suggest this: compact with agents of the celestial host (lesser and greater planar bindings). Most beings of great power have the ability to teleport at will. Many also have the ability to gate others for support. Having a small host of angels aid with the evacuation would have two benefits: they can move large numbers of people and equipment in short order and Zarun would have a hard time refuting our divine backing to any neutral bystanders."
"The Temple of Helm here is powerful. I dare say there is probably a strong folowing of Lady Selune here as well. Alethia and perhaps Banak are also capable of such magics as well. I would gladly donate any personal wealth I may have to help strike a deal with these creatures but generally they prefer service; a sacrifice I would also gladly make."
"In conjunction with this, those of us not of divine bent should gladly accept the aid of Sundabar in the addition of the dwarven light guns and getting the airship operational. The key here being to getting the ship up and away quickly so as not to endanger Silverymoon. I agree with Murdock that we initially use it as a mobile base rather than an attack platform."
"Lastly, we owe the people of the north a quick end to the threat of the Cannonforge Dragon. Once the other two objectives are well under way, I would suggest we set out on a hunt to finish it."
Alethia nodded in agreement. "I will see if Taavi or the others can garner the aid of a greater celestial to help evacuate the hidden shield. I'm afraid that I personally don't have the capabilities of calling something powerful enough to set up a portal or teleport large amounts of people."

OCC: I don't have my books with me, but would Channel Celestial (BoED), cast by Barnak, allow us to access enough teleports/portals to evacuate our stronghold? I imagine that our mithal device could potentially help.
