    Oh, I know that, and do not worry, we will reclaim your brother - in fact, that was what I was considering: how to do so most effectively. Such as, how will we ensure that this tower is ... well, clear. I suspect that it may not be, and such a difficulty would need to be overcome; there would also be the issue of interested parties using it as an ambush point, but, to be honest, that could be a good thing - if, as Anya says, they are willing to kill innocents, then luring them away and into the open (I say open - more like a vista wreathed in flames that scrape the firmament, roiling on as far as can be seen) would be progress, at least.

    "I agree with Mistress Azariah," Anya says, "That it would be well to lure the Garrote's eyes towards the vastness of the Plane of Fire, and see if we can destroy, or preferably capture, any minions they might send after us. Therefore I have no qualms against seeking your brother. It gives us a clear starting point at least. I offer my magic and mace to this task. I can do little more than attack, heal or defend with magic, so I will leave the business of planning and technicality to our arcanists. They appear more than capable."

    Tethys is late. That happens, sometimes. The red-haired woman slips into the area in which the meeting is taking place.

    "Sorry I didn't get here sooner. Had some... buisness to take care of." She looks around the assembly. "No need to fill me in on everything now; I can pick it up as we go."

    She takes a slight bow. "My name is Tethys. Swordswoman, mostly. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

    She is of unremarkable height, 5'6" to be precise. Red hair falls loose to her mid back. Green eyes watch from a face many would consider quite attractive. Exotic-seeming pink and white clothing lies over Celestial mail, not entirely revealing the armor in some places. Twin rapiers hang by her sides; an accute observer would note that the swords are absolutely identical.

    Those who have a sense about being scried upon or teleportation notice the hairs on the back of their necks stifen. Then, withoiut warning with a puff of smoke Drelignor a man in grey robes stands before you with a look that disarms any concern. He looks over each of the companions in turn then finially regards Agnimia.

    Well met milady, I am at your service after wich he addresses the rest of the group I am Drelignor Nefestus

    Sreth

    Dropping the sataff in hands into his leg quiver he takes the black staff in hand. The warmage grips his staff thoughtfully for a moment, he seems to be taking council from the staff. We shall join ya as well, something about this whole situation is off. Sreth turns on his heel and begins to clank and thump his way around the room, pacing, deep in thought.

    Agnimia also looks around the room. "I'm very pleased,with our count." "Some of the contacts,that I have made.have gone missing." "I hate to think that,the Garrote got to them." "But that is exactly what I am thinking." "Most of our party is cosistent of magic wielders." "I have contacted a weapon specialist,an old ally of mine. "I am also good at meelee." "The path I want to take,my sources indicate some demon activity." "I was hoping that the General,could confirm this,as true or not."

    Drelignor nods to the RangerI arrived as soon as I was able. It would be good to leave this public area. My abode may not look like much from the outside, though it is spacious within. And since it technically resides on another plane scrying shouldn't be a problem. Would you like to adjourn there?

    "The Garotte is not the end of this. They do nothing without being paid- and if more of their members get used as object lessons like that, they may not be entirely happy..."

    Pacing back and forth, Kaelis adds with a slightly raised eyebrow, "I hope you don't mind if we don't leave the strategy entirely to the arcanists. I have a [I]little[I] experience in that regard myself..."

    To the Ranger, Kaelis adds, "I haven't seen any demonic activity recently, but I believe we could deal with it if it surfaced. My Herald has skill with Divine power, as do all his kind- I believe he could drive off or at least halt most Infernals, particularly the Abyssals."

    You have a gift for understatement, Anya. I'd say we now have a small army, of a size great enough to storm a plane ... such as Fire, for example. Anyway, greetings, Tethys and greetings Mr Nefestus; we are glad to have you in our company.

    Azariah bows.

    To be honest, Kaelis, I would rather not be responsible for strategising; bad things have happened when I am given much responsibility; not a promising attribute, but there it is.

    That said, it would be a good idea to assess our collective resources - what exactly we are capable of, how we can cooperate. There is nothing, nothing, nothing worse than getting isolated, split up, picked off. The plane of fire isn't exactly ... the most friendly place to suddenly be stranded. As Agnimia says, we have arcanists coming out of our ears - well, those of us that have ears; I suggest that we use them. Arcanists, that is. Not ears. Although they might be handy too.

    Kaelis your gods speak to you through,your mind. "They say that you can trust,this ranger Agnimia." "Also that you should help rescue her brother." "He is the key to this mystery." You also begin to sense some,demon activity,in THe Realm Of Stairs. "Which Agnimia says to you,is your next destination." "It is the fastest way to the Plane Of Fire." "Because we can't teleport there directly." "She says before we begin ,I have a gift for each of you." "It will help protect you,from some of the danger's, in The Plane Of Fire." "But it will only function, in that Elemental Plane."

    "Indeed, this is a well-sized group. That's good." She pauses briefly. "Ah, I'm reminded. It may be wise to let you know that these swords," she indicates them, "are together a conscious being."

    "Arcanists are always useful. I've dabble a bit in the arcane myself, though not to a massive degree, not as a dedicated arcanist. For the most part, I'm a melee combatant. If you need an entertainer, I can do that too."

    "If we're heading to the Fire plane, I can deal with that; I can make it so fire won't harm me. Amongst other abilities."

    "As far as resources are concerned," Anya says, "I am a full fledged member of the clergy aside from also being a formidable Knight. I can call forth the strongest of the magicks that Lady's seen fit to grant a mortal soul. Aside from this I also studied martial arts that combine the powers of the mind and body. I would not be a Knight without these techniques. I am not very formidable in weapon combat without using the Sublime Way."

    She enters a combat stance, holding her mace in one hand, and grabbing hold of her floating shield. Around her on the ground, a perfect square of hazy purple energy forms. "But when using the Sublime Way I am comfortable in any challenge to melee. I can serve as a proper bodyguard and frontline combatant. Furthermore, I have high knowledge of spellcraft and of religious matters."

    Then, she reaches into her bag and takes out a diary, and shows everyone some pretty good sketches of Slaadi and other planar beings. "I am also good at drawing."

    "An intelligent being, actually. No, I'm not entirely sure how it works." She gives a quick shrug. "I don't think Carth here'll mind conversation."

    A male voice speaks up, from somewhere within both the swords. "Quite right."

    Agnimia hands everybody,a pair of boots. They are in the shape of a phoenix,moving her wings. The boots actualy,seem to be a alive.wreathing in flames. "These are a gift from our greedy friends,The Gleaners." "Their full potential power will only be activated ,in The Plane Of Fire." Spoiler: Fly speed 60 foot(Average). Absorb fire damage 30 points,as a high level resist energy spell. "They are very potent and shall increase our chances of survival." "Whenever everyone is ready,I shall lead the way,to the Staircase Gate."

    Why thankyou, Agnimia. You are most kind, although I'll have trouble getting these on over the armour. And greetings, Carth; it is a pleasure to meet another constructed mind.

    Azariah picks up the boots, and tries to fit them over the battle horror that she wears as a second skin. They just fit; after a couple of false starts, including the boots' flight activating and causing it to zoom off, L'Imre's foot still trapped in it, she fits them on. Somehow, despite her being a construct, she looks a little flushed at the exertion.

    Well, now that that's ... done, I would say that I am ready, although, of course, our arcanists may wish to prepare an appropriate selection of spells for the plane of fire. I like the drawing style, by the way.

    Anya smiles. "Thanks. And thank you too Agnimia."

    She bends and picks up her own boots, not exactly easy to do when in a plate of armor, although the mithral and faeriecraft do make it far more flexible than normal. After donning the new ones, she puts her old boots in her bag of holding.

    "I have a rather varied selection of spells prepared, so in any case, I am ready for departure. If anyone wishes to stay an additional night in Union to change their spell selection, I volunteer to guard for the night. I have not expended any of mine."

    Taking the boots, Kaelis removes his own (soft leather) and replaces them with the magical versions.

    "It is indeed. I would be nodding now, but I have not a head." Carth gives a slight chuckle (I should consider picking a font color for him, heh).

    Tethys takes the boots and looks over them. "I am already capable of protecting myself from fire, and my armor allows me to fly, though only once per day. I do not feel the increased flight would be worth the loss of the benefits of my current footwear*."

    *Currently wearing Boots of Swiftness.

    Tactical advantage ... can't you just have a little fun? These boots can fly!

    She goodnaturedly pokes Kaelis on the shoulder, and then her mutable quicksilver semblance of a face twists back without warning into a serious, sombre look.

    As you say, however, they are undoubtedly tactically beneficial. It's amazing some of the things that one can do when flying - so many engineers simply don't consider the possibility of simply thinking in three dimensions (sometimes four, but that gave me a headache). Also, Anya, no need to worry about keeping watch; I gave up sleeping (too boring) a long time ago, and I have some business that I would take care of while on guard. Such as ... well, a little research.

    Agnimia directs her attention toward everyone. "These boots will mold around your other boots." So you will not loose your swiftness ability,or any armor of protection." "They can be removed as easily,as you put them on." "The protection is in effect constantly." "So you can use your spells on other things." "If you still don't want them,I will not argue with you though."

    Thank you for the footwear, Milady. Of course the only thing that beats flying is teleporting.

    Drelignor then adopts a more serious look. Would you happen to have some momento that belongs to Reginald?

    Shal

    Shal slips in, using he ring to remain unseen as he does. He swipes a pair of the boots, putting them on, and hoping no one has noticed him yet. He slinks over to a chair in the corner, removing his ring. He starts to whistle lightly, acting like hes been there the whole time. He pulls out his Kukri's, Thomai and Maiyr, the two magical elven blades given to him as "gifts." He pipes up, trying to keep the idea he had always been there, and says, "So, when do we leave, and how might we be traveling?

    Shal then sees the two holding the weapons, and quickly slips on his ring, going right into action with an attempt to flank them, just in case. His blades at the ready, he slowly moves behind them.

    Initiative - (1d20+11)[27]

    He then is shocked, he was almost hit by those spheres, that man would pay soon enough. He moves back to his seat and slips off his ring.
