TAKING BACK WHAT IS OURS (bnr we just need the palace back)

So it's becoming obvious there's diverse groups of characters waiting to strike/get intel on the palace now that it's taken over by the big bad M, and I thought, in my comfortable fortress of solitudehiatus that a bit of organization put together could be helpful.

As far as I’m aware there’s a group that plans to approach it in a discrete way to try to gather intel, a group that plans to use magic and others who plan on trying a bit of a more, uh, direct attack so I will make headers to discuss these three groups and how each ‘attack’ would go, but keep in mind I’m not trying to lead it all or anything like that- I’m just trying to provide an easier way to discuss and plot.

Also it was suggested we use the player mission for each of these plans so the IC attack would probably go up the moment the player missions go up as well, unless groups decide they would rather not use it.

Mai could potentially join Costigan's more normal group if she wanted? Or maybe there could be a third group of agent types? idk

I'd be happy to have Mike help Aya with her stuff if you're interested.

Absolutely!

I saw that MIke did a similar post on the Network, so I didn't want to post hers right away for fear of potentially distracting from his. But hers specifically mentions the additional resources in play, rather than just another "things are wrong we should convene and try and fix this together" message, so if I want a little longer, it *should* be alright?

I was thinking of sending her to train with the police force for the sake of her boredom since she is seventeen. (Or sixteen, canon never quite made that clear.) So this would probably work out well.

I appreciate the thought, but please feel free to go at it! I'm fairly sure he's gotten all the response he will and having the additional resources would be cool. He'll offer to get involved with her plans too.

/salute~

I'll probably put hers up either tonight or tomorrow, then.

Saint Walker is ill suited to the other two teams, so he'll be lending his services here! If any of the GLs are going to be attending, he'll probably stay fairly close-by so they can act as batteries for each other, but that's all I've got on my mind rn!

Neither Lois nor Septimus is actually likely to go with team intel, but Lois has blueprints of the palace! They might be out of date or might be wrong by now, but either way, if someone can figure an IC reason for her to get them to the team, you guys will have them.

Bucky might be able to help with that, if the sneak team is... what I think it will be.

Zelgadis was part of the previous palace sneak plot, so there's always using what he remembers.

Tazendra has been rather interested in the barrier, so she could work as a distraction or help magically penetrate the barrier. Since in canon, she broke through a defense powered by a powerful being* by channeling power at it until it broke, she might, mods willing, be able to break through. On the other hand:

1. It will be noticed.
2. It could open her up to Malicant's influence. Or just being stabbed in the back or captured for interrogation purposes.

Hopefully, her being a nuisance can further others' more subtle attempts. You probably wouldn't even have to tell her your plans.

* As in, 'The beings who the Dragaeran gods used to serve before they rebelled'.

At this stage, Enjolras is much more likely to push for a direct attack, and he would very much want to be part of things if possible. He has some personal reasons that he wishes to strike against Malicant as well, which could make him something of a liability. He was captured and tortured last summer, and this might make him more open to a psychic sort of attack again.

In terms of skills, he's a halfway decent fencer and a good shot, and very used to fighting. While he's usually the one who builds the barrier and defends it, he could certainly strike if he wished, and he very much does.

I am open to either having him come along, or, perhaps, having him persuaded to stay back because of the little liability issue.

oooh Ava misses working with her old teen team even if she'd never admit that. She is decently sneaky if that comes up and she's got some low-end enhanced strength and agility.

Skulduggery would definitely seek out anyone suggesting this via network or word of mouth, and involve himself as much as he possibly can. This is the sort of thing he used to do during wartime, so he's well-suited for it and has some kickass magical fighting abilities besides.

He's already tried going through the barrier, so... well, his bones are going to be purple. So he can also function as a kind of deterrent for other people.

Septimus will want to talk to her about this--I'm about to tag her log, actually, when I have a moment to breathe--for this or future purposes.

Ahoy! I've been talking to Makari, and you guys are getting one of two healers on the team! But while we have a suggestion, we're not sure which you'd prefer.

Raine Sage: is a white mage a la tabletop/video game definitions of it, light spells and healing, so she fits the flavor to a T. She may also be the more effective of the two at healing. That said, being a video game white mage, she fits the standard Power Spellcaster Thus Slightly Squishy template.
OR
Septimus: has more than enough magic to qualify, though may be somewhat less of a healer than Raine, and while he's got magic and it is highly offense-oriented magic, this includes 'and now I stab you with a sword to the face.' On the other hand, this makes him not a squishy glass cannon and the gamer instincts in both Makari and I are screaming that you do not send out a team of all mages without a tank of some kind.

We think maybe it'll be healthy for Team Magic to have a powerful melee fighter along, but we also thought we'd let you guys choose.

Oh, and same person talking here, but an additional note: I'm going to be out of town for the latter part of this month, so as a heads up, if that's when this plot is taking place, I'm out!
