Dax isn't concerned about this plan - happily participating. Ozzyie is unclear on the issues here. Effectively we are here on our own exploring this newly exposed cavern - that's all within what's legal, right? It isn't like we're trespassing (land or structure). Is this group like the evil Star Wars Empire? Or more like the Feds? Or more like Tesla - ie big soulless corp? Would they simply "claim" what we found, or would they arrest us? Are they known for "disappearing" people? Ozzyie is just thinking we have the moral/legal high ground, but once we take their skiffs...

Assuming we all arrive without a fuss, Nia will suggest we see about sending two skiffs off in the opposite direction we plan on going. If the skiffs could be made to gain a challenging amount of altitude - so much the better. Otherwise, see if we can send two of them at speed across the clearing into the trees. Then each of us can take a skiff [OOC I believe we all have magical backgrounds. Nia has 'Magic Training' if that is sufficient, otherwise she will use her Confounding ability to assist in navigating the skiff.] Nia's plan is for the three of us to steer the skiffs a good ways into the woods (not in a mad rush, but faster than pursuers could go on foot). Once we clear the woods, or reach a decent clearing, we can ditch two of the skiffs in opposite directions and take the remaining one back to Locke. Unless others have strong feelings about a different destination. If we are truly concerned about being followed, the elven temple could also be an option - as it is not well known and has a hidden entrance (though not sure a skiff could manage it). _______________________________________________ Emerald Flame mailing list -- emerald-flame@lists.incorporeal.org To unsubscribe send an email to emerald-flame-leave@lists.incorporeal.org
