Khernon replied: "No news yet. Only a few days have passed, she will break soon."
Jyada said: "Fair enough. And the assassin?"
"He was sent to kill an Alliance partol an hour ago. He will return shortly."
A messanger arrived, bearing a summons for Jyada to visit the Father. He went to the assignment room. As always, the Father was their.
"Sit, Jyada. We have much to discuss. Firstly, I would like to thank you, both for the new assassin and the prisoner. I am certain both will be valuable assets. Now, on to buisness. We have confirmed with our friend from the Shadows that the Alliance is harbored at Lake Alto. However, we learned that they are specifically located at an abandon cave at the center of the Lake. It is unacessable, except by boats and flying. We have no ships, and neither do the Shadows. We will be hard pressed to gain enough boats, and flying will exclude our human soldiers, which will severly reduce the effectiveness of our army. Do you have any ideas?"
"Well, sir, we could take advantage of our Psys with Cyro affinities. They could freeze bridges across the lake......"
"No, no, they will just melt the bridges and have their bowmen aim at the bridge."
"Sir...... how do their human members get acess to their hideout?"
"Intelligence points towards rowboats in the dead of night. Why?"
Jyada grinned, and said cruelly, "I believe we could arrange to.... borrow their boats"
"My intelligence said that this would be a difficult route, as we would only have one venue of attack."
"True. How about this. We have one team at a time take the boats across, a few teams try to cross with my freezing idea, and the majority of our forces will lead a suprise attack through the caves. We will need to scout it out, but I am confident that we will find a way."
"That seems a good plan, but we lack both a route through the caves, and teams foolish enough to make frozen bridges."
"I will provide both."
"How will you lead teams through the caves and assualt via frozen bridges?"
"I will take the assassin i recruited, Misad, with me when I go to the caves. He will show the route on the day of the attack."
"Excellent plan Jyada! Gather you team, rest, train, then head to Lake Alto with all speed!"
"Will do." Jyada left the assignment room, told his team of the news, and went to the assassin trainer. An old shadowling, who claimed to be descendant of Darkling himself. While he doubted the claim, he could not argue that the trainer was excellent, and he spent the next few hours working on silent, unseen movement. He then rested, waiting for his assassin to return.
OOC: Steelfist, check the faction list, you have the Shadows on twice. I recommended renaming the shadowling group, as I am using the other one already.
OOC: The Shadows are on the faction list twice. The Shadowlings one could be renames to the Dark Ones or something. When I said Shadows, I meant the "powerful Psy group dedicated only to themselves"
