What sort of nastiness can Naveron cause to Calicos and his people? Also, Alethia is quite willing to pull out all of the stops when it comes to magic. For a while now, she hasn't used much of her clerical abilities, so it's entirely possible that the opposition isn't aware of what she's truly capable of. Plus, you must remember her followers.

Alethia looked at the hovering archons. "Stay close to Aleena and to Maggie. They are still the enemies main targets." she then looked at the others. "I hate doing this, but the wolf sisters and the crows as well as Cyril will want to come as well as Marise. It is what they have been born and bred for. It will be hard to deny them this." she smiled grimly. "Whatever you wish Naveron and I to do, we will do."

"Now we are starting to think like a team," Timrin beams proudly. "Alethia, any energy resistance spells you can spare would be greatly beneficial. If the enemy is resigned to use area of effect attacks because they cannot target, we are looking at fire, cold, electricity, and acid. Shrugging even a portion of that damage off will allow us to spend a few extra minutes with the machine."

"I don't know how many creatures Maggie can safely teleport but any of your friends that have enhanced senses could prove valuable as early warning scouts. Sight will by necessity be limited, so exceptional hearing or scent could prove useful. Or perhaps an inconspicuous bird flying above the cloud? You get the idea."

"Most of what I have prayed for are offensive, rather than defensive spells. If you can wait until tonight, I'll be able to pray for defensive spells as well." she smiled wryly. "I thought at the time, we were going to be in for it, so I wanted to be prepared." she looked grim again. "If nothing else, I can invest in a few scrolls or wands."

"Of all my followers, the crows are probably going to be able to spot things from the air. They're quick, sneaky and cunning and are least likely to be spotted. Marise is too conspicuious as are the Archons." Alethia said.

Perched on the rafters, the crows, laughed softly to themselves. Quern, the leader of the flock, a huge raven, almost as large as an eagle with bright silver eyes, flew down and perched on Alethia's shoulder. Quern bobbed her head at the paladin with as much respect as a crow could muster. "Aye. And if we can, we'll also chalk up whatever we fly over that looks interesting. Outside of that narsty looking device that is." Quern said in perfect common and winked mischieivously at Maggie and Aleena.

"I'll also be able to absorb 3 attacks from the ships at a moment's notice, if I am part of the targetted area and if my ability doesn't fail me." Murdoch says, looking at the new rod he purchased at a hefty price a few days ago. "If you need me to, I can focus on absorbing the ships attacks once they close in, but this means that you won't have me to blast our foes. If we have cover, chances are that the ships won't be able to target in the first minutes so I'll, be able to assist in decimating the guards, and when the ships appear, I'll focus on protecting the team. Keep in mind that I can only handle one attack at a time, and I could fail."

Looking at the flying gnome besides him, Murdoch adds: "My follower Barnak should also come. He can block any teleportation to the area once we are there and can create stone walls. This could be useful if the airships close in. He can also teleport, but hasn't completely mastered the art and sometimes gets off target. Still useful in case of an emergency. Finally, he has a nice little spell that forces all summoned creatures in the area to be good. This one, I think, would definitely give us an edge and supprize the heck out of any summoner." He then looks at Barnak, who is nodding with a big grin.

Her canine and lupine followers were crouched in the corners of the rooms, each one was alert and watching the activities with interest. The pack chief, Merideth spoke up. "We are not exactly helpless in a fight. As creatures from the celestial planes we have a bit of resistance against magic and elemental magics, maybe a little more than an Aasimar in fact. Cyril is also agile in a fight and is able to blink at will. He will be able to create much confusion." the huge wolf grinned, revealing sharp teeth. "And we will be sure to concentrate on hit and run tactics. Do not worry about us. As the Lady Alethia said, it is what we are born and bred for."

ooc:
Would it be reasonable to conclude that because Alethia does have the nimbus of light feat as well as holy radiance, most celestials would consider her to be the equivalent of a mid-ranking noble. They'd treat somebody like Shando as the equivalent of a Duke.

Don't be foolish young man. You have more of a burden than any of us. The vows you took both free and weigh you down in equal measure. Naverone said.

Shando smiles broadly "My vows are simply my duty to others. I gladly accept them and never feel as though they are a burden in the negative sense of the word."

[kirinke]

The demon laughed warmly. Indeed. As much as the vows I took when I rejected hell.

Even after the assurances of Helm and several other Gods, Timrin is still clearly not comfortable with Alethia's demon. A weak but polite smile seems about his normal reaction when the deep voice enters his mind, followed by a change of subject...

"Does anyone see a reason that we cannot wait a day before venturing to Sarkon? I think Alethia's defensive spells could be quite helpful. Perhaps there are others among us that might like to be better prepared as well <looking hopefully at Maggie, Fin, and Arundel>?"
