Groknar tilts his head to the side, looking puzzled. Who Jobu? Jobu my bestest friend. He very wise, he says, gesturing to the black metal sphere that circles him constantly.

Being slapped on the back by his brother wakes Tarkus from his daydream of "tackeling" the Obigru twins and he says, "Me think Jobu right. make us very small and Brother, little pig and me come out smashing when you need us. But me want to be simple (he holds up a symbol) of Kord or me not go." He goes back to the twin orc women in his mind.

"Perhaps a sending can be performed to inform the council of our impending arrival and get approval. Then, we can teleport in and be done with this. As far as my 'trick' with archery, that was skill, friend Darian. But I've found it difficult to shot creatures lounging in a pool who knows how far from the front door around whatever corners. I feel that your dimension anchors would encounter the same difficulty." Verra said.
"If we find or purchase another teleport tatto or scroll, then we have the two people teleporting, plus about 450 pounds from each teleport, we should be able to take everyone with that. On the other hand, with the dire boar and our half-orc friends, we may need three." Verra said.
"Appearing weak and drawing them out is a very good plan with one small problem. The could instead attack the one chosen we have been able to determine instead of us. So, instead of striking now, you've given them a chance to kill some one else and get that much closer to their goal." Verra paces for a bit thinking, then gets an idea.
Verra turns the Zelestine and asks,"I have a question for you. You've identified all of the chosen but one, how were you able to do that. I guess what I'm asking is, how did the Wilders know that I was one of the Chosen?" Verra said.
The version of the new Teleport is in the rumors section on the main page. It's in the rumors section because it hasn't been verified or confirmed by someone at WotC. Basically, you can teleport yourself and one person per three cast levels and objects up to 50/lbs. per level. Each of the people, including yourself cannot be loaded down over their maximum load.

Zelestine answers Verra, "It is said the blood of a Chosen calls out to other chosen. This is why you and I recognized each other on sight. Using spells or psionically sensitive creatures, one Chosen could locate another at further ranges, barring protections of some sort. Paepheton is a skilled telepath, and he helped us locate most of the others."
"The Wilders may have gotten lucky with their first kill, or they may have already had a Chosen in captivity. Either way, I imagine they are using the captive mind flayers as bloodhounds."
"I like the way you think, wizard," she says, turning to Darian. "It would be best to kill the bad wizards without angering the others. I agree to your plan of entering the city by another way, giving you time to rest, and making the assault. I am not afraid of a straight fight, or of mind flayers lurking behind corners. We should choose a defensible spot to rest though, because they may come looking once we leave the Lodge's sanctuary."

Yes! Less talk, more fight! Let them come! Groknar roars. Me and brother and clever Jobu smash them all.
Groknar pounds his fist into a wall excitedly. Time to make them eat axe!

"Verra, Sending requires that the caster know the subject. Since I'm not well acquainted with the rulers of Vubru, I'm afraid that it isn't an option. Also, the casting time of Scrying would prevent them from tracking down the last chosen in response to our incursion. If our attack takes an hour, then we'll have other problems."
After glaring at the noisy, stupid half orcs - although that Groknar seemed to be able relay surprising intelligent comments from "Jobu," something was odd about that - Darian addresses Zelestine Thurass, "You do me too much credit my lady. Additionally, a pair of Rope Trick spells should provide a safe resting place, if one lacking in privacy and comfort.
By my reckoning, the Wilders attacked us approxiamately an hour and three quarters after we received the vision. They must have access to a Chosen, otherwise it would be impossible to use enough divinations to discover a name, assemble a strike force, and then spend an hour using Remote Viewing in that period. Even with a Chosen to help seek out others, their response was very quick."

"Well, they were just ideas. And I suppose, like Tarkus and Groknar here, I was in a hurry. Story of my life." Verra shrugged. "Alright then, you work up the details for our arrival in Vubru, the tansportation, the negotiating, and let me know when we are ready to leave. I'd like to take a look around the Lodge here a while - see if joining them would interest me."
Verra will wander around the various rooms, talking to those that he meets and learning more of the lodge.
OCC: Gru, You don't need to go into detail about the lodge if you don't want to. I don't wan't to detract from the story, but I'm sure that Verra would want to look around and get his feet wet at the Lodge, especially since its safe and the others are advising cautious and a slower pace - not Verra's style, but he can deal with it.

Bellus listened to the droning conversation around him. Gods! These folk liked to talk. He had a Dwarf to Kill, by the Hells.
'So, tis a brace of teleport spells we need, then, eh? Surely the Lodge can help out in this department.What with all of the Psionic World at stake.'
Bellus tried to sound as if he cared about the Psionic World, really he did. Either way, things needed to be taken care of soon. These Wilders were on the move, to be sure, while those around him (and he included) sat here postulating on variables...
