Viva La Resistance?|Celentia, Firegem Isles

[Skittlebug]

Suri grins, "My companion wouldn't even get a second glance if they're common. I might be able to get some help from the local owls too. They could spy better than a person and take half of the guesswork out of sneaking around."

[Kender Bard]

"That'd be fantastic," Mathias admitted with a grin. "We really should do some information gathering first. Given what we've told you, do you think we should work on Second Hope or Fire and Spice first?"

"Grandisle," Aelwine said.

Mathias shook his head. "You said yourself that they don't live there."

[Skittlebug]

Suri gives Aelwine a sympathetic look before turning back to Mathias, "Which one do you think would be the biggest loss for the enemy, cause the most distraction?"

[Kender Bard]

Mathias thought about it a moment before answering, "Fire and Spice. It has a lot of natural resources. I don't know if Fireteeth plans to colonize their new islands or not, but they'll no doubt be working their slaves on the gem mines there."

[Skittlebug]

Suri grinds her teeth at the mention of Fireteeth's slaves, and nods. "More slaves there would mean more security though, wouldn't it. Are you planning on hitting and running, or trying to do more damage?"

[Kender Bard]

"Hitting and running," Mathias answered quickly. "I'm not sure what you mean by damage. Structurally? No. These are our homes after all. And I don't want to risk hurting the innocents trapped there at any rate. The plan is a quick, clean cut to send folks into disarray."

[Skittlebug]

"Damage to the pirates of course. What do we do once they're confused? Do we have specific targets?" Suri fidgets a little, curling her claws against the floor, she's eager to get out there and do something.

[Kender Bard]

"What happens after that is not up to us," Mathias protested. "We come to Celentia and tell everyone that now is when they strike. We provide them a tactical opening."

[Skittlebug]

"Can they get there soon enough to take advantage?" Suri looks from Mathias to Aelwine.

[Kender Bard]

"I think so," Mathias replied cautiously. "I'm not sure how quickly anyone will recover, but I think that it will be enough time. Certainly, it's better than nothing, isn't it? So are you in?"

[Skittlebug]

"Yes." Suri doesn't even have to think about it, she needs to do something, and on top of that, she wants to help Aelwine get revenge.

[Kender Bard]

"Good," Mathias responded. It was clear now that he was the leader of the whole escapade. "Then let's try to decide which island we will disrupt first. I still say Fire and Spice."

The Grandisle folk looked upset. Aelwine growled quietly.

[Skittlebug]

Suri eyes the men from Grandisle, "just because we strike one island, that doesn't mean Celentia will strike the same one. Causing a distraction on Fire and Spice could make it easier for them to hit Grandisle." And even if they don't a few people might be able to sneak in. But she would mention that to Aelwine later.

[Kender Bard]

This seemed to mollify them and they grew quiet.

"How soon do you think you'll be ready to set sail for Fire and Spice?" Mathias asked her.

[Skittlebug]

Suri grins again, eyeing them all, excited, "I'm ready when you are."
