Seeing nobody else offer ideas, Reinold suggests, "I have some rope. Maybe if you can get up there and secure it, you can use that to help the others up?"
 

Bored with the planning, Asuza curls the ends of her hair between her fingers as she stares off into the distance. "Okay, so ninja-girl climbs the walls and lowers the rope, then we all go up and down the other side. What kinds of baddies are going to be around the castle? Just so we know."
 

"I, uh...have a spell that can hurt the living dead," Thessaly volunteers awkwardly. "I'm not sure if it'll kill them in one shot. I've never actually USED it before...but I know one."

She clears her throat. "Sorry. Go on."
 

"His main forces consist of the living dead and his infernal minions. Other creatures born of foul magic, or corrupted humans may also bar your path, if you encounter them."
"As for your spell, it may prove to be useful. The magical force animating many of the dead are weak, possibly weak enough for you to break with it."
 

Asuza notices a silence, and closes in to fill it. "All right, so let me see if I have the plan down. We go to this castle, scale the walls, and go in and try to find the crystal thing. If any zombies or demons or whatever gets in our way, we hack 'n' slash. Nice and simple. Anthing else we should know?"
 

Reinold shakes his head. "I've told you all I know. The rest is up to you, and the will of God."
He looks across all of you, a gleam in his eyes. "I have a small supply of holy water, if you feel the need. It will burn those born of unholy magic, protect you from curses and hexes, and purify tainted material. Just don't try to drink it," he winks, "it tastes awful."
 

"Terrific!" the young sorceress blurted. "We'll take as much as you can part with. Then I guess we'd better get to the castle and take a look...see what it's like."
