Delft was put in the embarrassing position of having explain why one of his officers had gone off to meet the terrorist Hana Soliogn on his own and ("yet again") returned empty handed.  It was pointed out that Leon felt sure Ekossigan was close by and that Gale was being influenced by him.  "Did anyone communicate that fact to Asrabey?" asked Delft.  No one had.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In an attempt to soften the tone, Delft then added. "I know you have a lot on your plate, but you are my only available squad."  (He appeared to have a bullet point for this concession along with all the rest of his complaints.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Let’s solidify our understanding of where we are with each mission. Eschatologists: Can’t spare the manpower to guard subrail tunnels further, though they are already manned by trained support officers.  You guys will need to be on standby in case anything happens.  At this point Korrigan told Delft about the huge bomb.  An overwhelmed Delft scribbled furiously in his notes, saying, "Right, that's another bullet point!" Malthusius said he would interrogate the deceased dwarves. Ekossigan: Pressure from Crown aside, we need to prioritize and this thread appears to have gone cold.  If Ekossigan is in the Cloudwood, how can we possibly find him, when we can't find Gale in there either? It was suggested that Uru ask the Nice Spiders to search the woods, but that idea was dismissed until Malthusius said this had 'broken' his Skyseer Vision from the night before, and that this might be worth doing after all. Uru knew the Nice Spiders were fans of Miss Fortune the puppeteer so he sent a message to her to include a request to meet with them at one of her shows. Kell: "We need a decisive strike here.  No pussy-footing around.  The idea is to weaken his resolve, to flush him out of hiding."  So far the group had built up plenty of intel and leverage (Task Force Tokens) but only one decisive strike: disrupting a front of milliners that were smuggling magical poisons hidden in the lining of hats.  It was decided that the priority today would be to assault Casa De Kell and conduct a sting operation on a group who were magically altering kidnapped women to look like eladrin and selling them into slavery in Danor.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Oh, and by the way, the Tin Man wants a word with you."</li> </ul></blockquote>
