They offered me transport to this island and nothing more, all in return for a quest to save the world," he says amused. "My loyalty here is directly proportionate to the value my clients place in me. But you need not worry, once I am bought for a reasonable price I stay bought. I accept this task with no reservations."Yashar sits down and starts eating. Though he doesn't need food and drink it's still a source of enjoyment, and this food was very fine indeed."For a mission of this kind we should not act overtly. The best course would be to secure information about the High Priest's habits, by magical or mundane espionage, then simply teleport in with a well-prepared squadron as close as possibly to to the location where he at is the most vulnerable, possibly his sleeping-quarters. Fighting here should be kept at a minimum, to keep the losses to your troops low. Then, once the abduction has hurt their morale, we can strike again against other targets.""In that case I would advocate a campaign of random terror as the easiest way of breaking our enemies will to fight, especially as they can't strike back at your sanctuary here and their alignment will not allow them to strike indiscriminatingly against your civilians. Integrated into that plan of terror should be strikes against their command structure, elite forces and vulnerable prestigious locations. After that we can begin going after their food and water supply. Once their society has begun to desintegrate we can then move in with occupation forces, if conquest is your objective.""But for now I will need a flexible group, capable of stealth and infiltration, magical and mundane. Durable individuals capable of taking care of themselves in a fight and move quickly and desicively. Tactically minded people who know when to fight and when not to, but most importantly who know how to obey orders.""Specifically; I need one or several high level arcane casters capable of casting at least Teleportation, Improved Invisibility, Nondetection or Mindblank, Wall spells and probably passwall and Mass Fly, possibly Disjunction but also Greater Dispell. At least one cleric of some potency. A great liar and diplomat, and the rest I leave up to you to decide. A Marshal who knows his place could come in handy with a large group, but noone who will counteract my orders.""I will also need to trade in some of that gold you so generously bestowed upon me for several magical items and gems. Is there a Magic shop in the city?"</blockquote>
