> Sienna: Discuss strategy.
"So what do we know about Amata's defenses?" you ask Ione.
"She'll have plenty of guards," Ione says, "and she's a pretty competent mage in her own right. The Ms. Amata I knew hated conflict and made it a point to never raise a hand against others, though, which is why she had me as a retainer."
You cross your arms. "I can't imagine that this Amata dislikes conflict, though."
"True. My Ms. Amata always picked spells to learn based off of the favor of the goddess Sunthe, she of elements. Sunthe always favored ice, as I remember, so Ms. Amata went for that." Ione stops for a moment and rolls a few thoughts over in her head. "This Ms. Amata would be basing her choices off of, well, you. Or at least Travler Prime. So what do you think? What type of magic would she be using?"
The answer is obvious.
"Fire," you say. "She'll be using fire." Then it occurs to you. "And I happen to have an ice shield spell."
"Perfect," Ione says. "We'll sneak into her chambers, then while you draw her fire, I'll go in for the finishing blow." She glances around, making sure nobody is listening in. "Any last minute preparations you need to make?"
> Palmer: Examine the hole in the wall.
You haul yourself up to the top bunk. From what you've pieced together, this must have been the cell that those three prisoners that escaped into the sewers were in. You're not sure how they made a hole this size through solid stone, but you are, for once, glad about the city's substandard funding for infrastructure repair.
And here are the sewers. You shake off the soot and drop down to the ground. Nobody's down here - not even the creatures that were wandering around when you were here last are around.
That doesn't fill you with confidence.
You're now pretty sure why nothing else is down here.
