text: Ythac put the Horizonal Quill into all of us, so it wouldn't be nearly so easy to eavesdrop on us or anything. The invaders were clearly aware of us; we could magiocept their scrying spells around us, just as they could ours around them.
  
  So we made a really stupid plan: mostly Csirnis' idea, with some help from Ythac. It's much easier to plan for dragons because we know how we'll react to things, generally.
  
  I had to fly back to Ghemel and get Khudris and Tarcuna and all out of the Blazing Lyre for Grilling Lambs. I flew Tarcuna around here and there and the other place, and broke painspells on engineers and artillerists, and set them to work. The remote control was the hardest part. That, and deciding where to point things.
  
  Tarcuna tried and tried to talk me out of it, but of course it's a matter of honor. And I was sure she could make it safe.
