[Game Thread] The League Advances

[prometheous100]

Still standing in the center of the room to keep the sound barrier in place, Turul says: "No one here represents the Hidden Ones of Knowledge? That leaves us with both a boon and a bane."

"The boon is that... No one here has any attachments to their organization, we do not have to be cautious about upsetting someone here who knows our faces and voices."

"The bane is because they will undoubtedly have more information about us than we have about them. That leads to several options such as:" Ticking off on his fingers, Turul enumerates several possibilities.
"Attempting to feed them false information about us, turning their strength into a weakness."

"Acting so quickly that their information is outdated by the time they understand what it means."

"Overpowering them with sheer force, so that even if they have information, no effective defense is possible."

Holding up his hand, the Illumian asks "Are there any other high level ideas to cull someone who knows more about you than you would like?"

Leo smiles and signs, why yes, my specialty. It's called the element of surprise. They have no idea about this meeting for it has just taken place. A decisively strong cut at the right spot my cause an incredible amount of damage. My suggestion is over the net day or so we study the supply line of information an try to cut off a portion of it at the head. View it as a snake with 5 heads or so. All we have to so it take out one for now.

[Night Shade]

Szayel If I might make a suggestion, if you all agree to go after The Hidden Ones first. Turul has excellent ideas, instead of implementing one, why not simultaneously use them all?

[Xbow]

Leo "ghost" Leo signs, I am not against the idea.

Turul "If there are no objections, perhaps we should take a tally of skills and how they align with the various methods we have available. Pointing to himself, Turul says: "I am proficient with letters and writing, given enough time I can make a passable forgery of most documents if given a sample to work from. Illustrations are a bit trickier if needed, but any maps shouldn't be a problem as long as we don't need perfect accuracy. I have no way outside of Messenger or Herald to deliver any work I do." Pausing momentarily to point at the names on the webwork diagram on the floor before continuing, "I think my skills would be most useful in trying to create false information. We can draft a false letter to make them curious... How about an impending attack on Maresio by Arnor? I can draft it from the kings hand, requesting 50 score foot soldiers and twenty score lancers from Fulgrimn." "For real confusion, I can draft another letter from Arnor to Marselha, coordinating plans of attack on Maresio? Then it will look to the Hidden Ones that Arnor is attempting to betray Fulgrimn. That should arouse their curiosity, maybe even draw out one of the more important members of the guild to investigate."

"Its good that we have settled on a first target for this grand plan, it makes matters much simpler when you can begin discussing specifics, you make some good points on how we can keep them off balance but probably its safe to say that as of right now they don't even know what we have planned for them so we may be in luck." Amiir concludes while agreeing with Turul.

"My talents as you can imagine being of the Raven's maw include the more social aspects of life, focusing on persuading others to do as needed, though i have some arcane talent as well and am less martially inclined them some of our breathern here."

With a smile "Dela is good with not being seen and escaping should she be. Infiltration is Delas greatest talent. Although not preferable Dela can fight fairly well." Dela explains confidently. "Should we need to get into places we are not allowed i am very good at this."

[Xbow]

Leo signs, lost shadows, if that was not clear enough.

[KevinFipps]

Mathias stretches to his full height flexing his massive hands and leaning his sheathed blades against the wall. I can make delightful flower arrangements and can sing in a lilting tenor. He smiles broadly. That and things I hit tend to bounce a few times before they stop moving.

He resumes his kneeling position. We of the Blooming Lotus are capable of moving in all manner of situations and overcoming just about any physical obstacle.

[Night Shade]

Szayel Now you all see why I chose you? We have 5 unique individuals from 5 unique backgrounds with 5 unique skill sets. Sadly I couldn't find anyone "trustworthy" from The Black Hand & I have no contacts in The Hidden Ones. I tell you all the truth here. For years you thought I was your contact, when in fact you were mine. I have been working for longer than many of you would realize to get inside all of these guilds to bring this corruption to an end. The world needs such organizations to counter-balance the governments, but if they are filled with corruption then the scales will tip in unpredictable, & likely destructive, ways.

[KevinFipps]

We have our target, and with that a road. We should make all speed for the northeast. If we are to strike at the hidden ones, should not our first journey be into their domain.

Mathias looks around at the others. We can nibble at the edges, or we can become a cancer within.

[Xbow]

Leo nods at the first part of what Mathias was saying and continues till about his third pause, then stops nodding. He listens to everything he has said then begins to sign, We need to monitor their movements for at least one day to become familiar with their patterns. I would like more time though it is of the essences. We will have no records to catalog the movements and as such we will also need to someone to pretend to be a higher ranking official of theirs to get an idea of who is who. Just because their HQ is in the city does not mean that they are the city. This is tougher than what one should expect.

[OneDarkness]

"I'm afraid we lack the time to be the cancer within if we want to be quick, but find those higher ups should be easy enough by interogating a few lower level agents and tracing their contacts back, of course once we start picking up an agent or two it won't take them long to realize there is something going on." Amiir concludes as they debate the best way to begin the process that has been agreed upon.

"Some preliminary scouting would indeed be wise, anything we can find out before we begin to tip our hand can only help us."

[Xbow]

Leo signs, then it is settled, those adept at traveling unseen should arrive first. We will need falsified documents to enter without problems or we can scale the wall at night. It does not matter to me. Though once we are in the organization needs to fall quickly. I am not sure if we have anyone here with a focus on healing, so make sure to sock up on potions prior to our attack. I will be landing first along with any stealthers that want to join me.

[KZ61]

Dela raises her hand Then quickly realising she was the only one lowers it slowly looking slightly embarrassed speaks softly "Dela will travel along with you."
