Who: Everyone except for undefected Ophiuchus
Where: An abandoned dorm
When: Day DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYMORE
What: Fuck yeah rebellion!!!

[There have been people trickling into this abandoned dorm all day, some even wearing dorm-lined clothing perhaps. It's unfortunately devoid of furniture, but there are several jugs of water and glasses sitting in a corner for refreshments. If anyone was hoping for snacks, however, they'd better have brought their own.]

	I have several, as it happens. For one thing, I tracked the power he diverted from Persona back to his keystone; it's in the ceiling, well warded. A team of fliers with dormstone cloaks is already assembled to retrieve it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you can pinpoint it, that should remove the need for a search- or cut it down, anyway, to something a lot shorter. Who are the fliers? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] blue_mind_group 2012-01-04 12:13 am UTC (link)
	Candidates are myself, Max, Anchor, Razzy, Persephone and Tide. One of my partners can fly but can't use a cloak while doing so, since he shapechanges. I expect Allen could make the climb. We have seven cloaks between Delphinus, Cepheus and Canis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Orion has enough to cover our team, and Cheer of Apus has one, too. As for fliers, that Pyxis girl- [Indicates Kagura.] -says that she has a magical creature who can go, as well. If your partner doesn't have any alternative to keep covered, maybe he should join the group on the ground, instead.

You're going to need to line the pants and shoes of any fliers, though. I know from experience that being lifted off the ground allows influence to creep in underneath. Presumably, King will be able to see you that way, if you don't stay covered.

	nods Better safe. And he'll likely make a good distraction. More than that, if Messenger intends to challenge for the throne, why not simply leave it vacant as soon as we get the keystone? We know full well Edge's blade works, and getting him up there shouldn't be overly difficult. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] blue_mind_group 2012-01-04 12:41 am UTC (link)
	He used a sword to destroy Queen's keystone. It's enchanted somehow; I'm not sure how, or whether it can be duplicated, but it definitely works. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] byallmeans 2012-01-04 12:52 am UTC (link)
	I'd like to know more about it before we rely on it too heavily, but that's definitely a possibility. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] blue_mind_group 2012-01-04 12:54 am UTC (link)
	nods He and I are going to talk soon; I'll find him after we're finished here, if he doesn't show up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] byallmeans 2012-01-04 01:09 am UTC (link)
	He's defected, hasn't he? He's not going to be able to show himself in the arena. We'll have to find out whether he's willing to let someone else use it, as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He has, and I was thinking of bringing him on the retrieval team, with a cloak for concealment if we can make a few more. If he can't levitate himself and it's necessary to have him there, Tide and Max and I can likely handle him between us.

Willing, or able; it's one of the things I'm planning to ask, believe me.

Two more questions. One, are we prepared for King to lock everyone down the way he did during the last event? And two, should we try for a psychic gestalt to channel his power once he's dead?

	Re: [The plan] byallmeans 2012-01-04 01:37 am UTC (link)
	If he locks us down, hopefully the effects will miss the people he doesn't know are there. To be safe though, maybe the fliers should wait outside the arena until the game is already underway, then come in from the air. ...what's a "gestalt"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] blue_mind_group 2012-01-04 01:44 am UTC (link)
	Good idea. We'll also need to make sure the fighters on the ground can handle themselves in that state. The way I see it, if we can psychically link several mages closely enough, we should be able to channel the power released more efficiently, and hopefully mitigate any backlash somewhat.

	Holy shit . . . You seriously pinpointed it? And he didn't notice? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] blue_mind_group 2012-01-04 12:23 am UTC (link)
	nods He was distracted with Persona, and I didn't probe behind the ward I found. In fairness, because I didn't, I'm not a hundred percent certain that's what it is, but with the confirmation that it's in the arena, I'd say it's pretty solid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] righthandsmoke 2012-01-04 12:28 am UTC (link)
	Still—shit, that saves us time. We can focus on a precision strike instead of having to search now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] blue_mind_group 2012-01-04 12:32 am UTC (link)
	nods I can show you exactly where the ward is, in the ceiling. It's slightly flawed, enough to breach if we need to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] righthandsmoke 2012-01-04 12:44 am UTC (link)
	The biggest problem will be getting through the wards themselves. Even flawed, that's a Judge's power we need to get through. We should assume it's going to take time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] blue_mind_group 2012-01-04 12:47 am UTC (link)
	nods Not to mention whatever other guards or defenses he left up there. We'll need to be careful how we split our fighters. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] righthandsmoke 2012-01-04 01:18 am UTC (link)
	We'll need a good section dedicated to defending noncombatants. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] blue_mind_group 2012-01-04 01:22 am UTC (link)
	nods I'd guess King will make a try at killing everyone at some point, and he'll probably use his creatures, among other things. We've got a fair number of strong fighters who can't fly, between us all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] righthandsmoke 2012-01-04 01:31 am UTC (link)
	[nod] Hydracula is nearly all fighters. We can help take the ground combat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] blue_mind_group 2012-01-04 01:34 am UTC (link)
	nods Better to make sure it's people who don't rely on powers, if possible. King might pull the same trick he used at homecoming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] righthandsmoke 2012-01-04 01:47 am UTC (link)
	We've never needed powers before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [The plan] blue_mind_group 2012-01-04 01:49 am UTC (link)
	Then you're definitely the best-suited. (Reply to this) (Parent)
