Timrin's tone is flat and formal, "So you would have us attack their compound? Do you propose an objective or simply delay them for as long as possible?"

"Is it not possible to turn the Tiger Clan warriors back to the side of good?"

"A delay will do, but considering your abilities, a victory is possible. Originally, we planned on driving the Thayan's out. Now, if you folk can deal a strong enough blow to the Thayans and defeat both Geberath and General Khalili, we can eliminate their presense in this area entirely.

We hope that once it is clear that the invaders are defeated and discredited, the people will return to their roots and join us."

(And yes, you guys do not have use of Barnak).

"Understood," Timrin says flatly. "It sounds as if you may have been planning this for a while. Do you have a reliable layout of the Thayan compound? Something that would tell us where the main bad guys are stationed and where support will be coming from?"

"I am starting to envision a plan that looks like a stalled assault. Attacking the compound but not displaying our full strength, drawing reinforcements to us, then allow our mages and remaining Wychlaeran to manifest their full firepower. Those of us on the front lines will need some significant elemental protections to withstand the massive area of effect assault but the enemy casualties could be catastrophic."

Alethia grinned at Timrin, brightening at his plan. "That sounds good, very good." she said, mind churning. "Hit and run tactics, never staying in one place for long, teleporting out before they realize that they're being hit. Never use the same tactics or spells twice in a row and we have to make sure that our targets are random."

"Timrin, I'm not strong enough to ask for an Earthquake, that's an eighth circle spell. Could Devan do that?" she asked. "Maybe combined with Fin's weather magick and some of my more devestating spells like Curtain of light or comet fall, that could cause a great deal of havok if timed just right."

Dolian frowns "We cannot muster enough elemental protection for that. Besieging them would be suicide. You must press the attack. We can get you the layouts easily enough...they are using pre-existing buildings. the city is fortified, but the buildings within, not so much. We can handle the fortresses by the walls, at least, in the Northern part of the city. You will need to deal with the city hall and the nearby Tiger Lodge near the center of the city. The Tiger Lodge is rather simply laid out. The front windows and the entryway are fortified lightly, and some of the building remains flammable wood, as does Geberath's adjacent manor, which has no real fortifications. Once inside the lodge, there is a central hall with giant tables for eating and meeting, doors to storage, the kitchen, etc., and stairs up to the second and third floor, which largely house bunks. The living quarters of the manor are accessible through an outside balcony. The barracks of city hall are on the ground floor, as are offices (he explains which part is which). The leaders' quarters are probably in the tower, towards the top. There are battlements above, but they also provide a potential method of getting in from the air. You will likely be spread too thin to deal with the southern fortifications. Fortunately, they have far fewer troops there. Either they will use them for a counter-attack or else we will quickly overwhelm them. These defenses are designed to prevent attack from without, not from within."

"Sounds like our attack should be from the top down, either at the towers or Geberath's manor?", Timrin postulates. "It will prevent the majority of the normal troops of providing much resistance."

"Do you have a preference?", he asks the rebel leader. "Gebereth or General Kallili I mean?"

"Geberath is suppose, as he leads to collaborators. Kalili can be driven out with his forces, though obviously it would be best if he too were slain."

OOC: So what's the plan?

 

[Hawkeye]

OOC: So what's the plan?

OOC: Its a secret!! If we tell you, you will know and then be able to prepare for us.

Ok, then, what's the first thing you guys do...

 

[kirinke]

ooc:
Don't give out any hints silly!

Um... The first thing we do is um.... Put earplugs into the DM's ears! yeah!

I'm no good at tactics, except for the classic hit and run like fun.

Frostrune? You're our plan guy.

"I'd say we probably need to take Geberath out of the picture first. He's the viper at our collective back after all. We do that and the Thayans won't have such easy access to the city then." she leaned back, finishing off her glass of water. "Then we probably need to figure out where the Thayans in the city are." she looked at the others. "Clean out the house first, then take care of the yard as it where."

She rubbed her eyes, trying to shake off the fatigue and physical weakness she felt, knowing that it will only get that much worse once this day was over, if she had to fight.

No rest for the weary, hmm? Naverone thought, his voice tinged with guilt, over having caused much of her exhaustion.

No rest at all for those whom the twice damned have taken. Alethia replied soberly. What you did, you did to save lives. That's worth any temporary weakness or pain.
