They discussed with Pemberton and their allies the battle plan and other expected events. Their conclusion was that making a major effort to hold Axis Island was necessary, firstly it prevented the Ob from messing things up again, secondly it would be much more convenient to control the island when they wanted to launch their own ritual, and finally the Ob would go all out to take the Island back which would mean Ob Naval power concentrating on Axis Island not invading Risur.They went all in , firstly they signed an agreement with Pemberton recognising Axis island as his territory on loan to Risur for one year it also recognised most of the rest of the Yerasol Islands as his territory and he agreed comprehensively that he would take no actions of any kind against Risur for the reign of Queen Nevla and 50 years after her death. Not killing the Queen was included in the deal. They contacted their Eladrin allies and Athrylla helped William set up a teleport circle link to Flint with portals at both ends, she also spent most of the day before the Danoran fleet arrived casting spells on the fortress before returing to Elfaivar and avoiding the battle. This included Guards and Wards on the Fortress, Teleport Traps covering all of the Sea Wall, Wall of Iron spells reinforcing the bottom of the Coaltongue and a few other miscallaneous uses of high level magic.  Kasavarina joined the defenders as part of their strike team.Gale arrived from Flint and began to ensure a good solid fog over the surrounding area, overwhelming any attempt by the Obs casters to lift the fog. With Gale arrived the Dwarven siege regiment of the army , heavily armoured experts in close combat who were deployed to reinforce the Gnoll defenders and a light cavaly regiment which was sent to picket the southern beaches in case the Ob landed there. Several teams of Kobold commandoes revealed themselves and deployed as snipers among the defendersNevla called up the earth to build a 20foot thick stone wall on the inside of the Sea gate so it could not be opened, various illusions covered the sea wall making it difficult to pin down the defenses until they engaged, Manuel brilliantly integrated Pembertons Flight systems and Tinkers new work and had the Coaltongue ready for flight before the Danorans arrived, he also enthused over the Dragon fliers.The Flint squadron consisting of the Improved Kraken ships Scylla and Charybdis with the Armoured Ram Thunderchild deployed South East of the Island intending to sail in and engage the Danoran fleet as it attacked the fort and in doing so draw attention away from the Shale fleet making a covert approach after hiding out near the Sea Cave for a ramming attack on the Danoran fleet. Beshala informed She Who Writhes of the battle and plan and they hoped she would fit in, failing that they thought she would attack the Danorans anyway and any damage was a plus. While discussing Fey Titans the possibility of calling in the Ash Wolf they noticed that Pemberton had joined them in his own body which they thought meant he may join the battle, they rated him as being at least the equivalant of one or two Danoran warships.Preperations done they were ready to engage the enemy . William as the Archmage and El Kevin deployed amid a minefield outside the Sea Gate accompanied by the Risuri Seal team last seen aiding them at Methia , several in the shape of Dolphins to give advance warning of approaching ships. William and El Kevin had multiple disintigrate spells ready and hoped to be a nasty suprise to several Danoran warships. Manuel prepared to control the weapons on the Coaltongue as the finest heavy artillery gunner in the world he hoped to pull of some nasty hits. Kasavarina, Nevla, Ulvaar and Padme stood at a high point planning to teleport to where the fighting was heaviest and devestate the enemy. Nevla had prepared many deadly AOE Spells and Kasavarina was a walking arsenal, Ulvaar and Padme could defeat vast numbers of low level combatants they expected to be able to make quite a difference.Risuri Druids shifted as Albatross's spotted the oncoming fleet and with that warning the battle was on, the only concern on the heroes part was the presence of a new Tarpaulin covered structure in the middle of the Lux Du Raison</blockquote>
