Some notes about Ith'ika's orders:<br/><br/>The orders brevet her temporarily from 2nd Lieutenant to Captain, which authorizes her to take control of a battalion of up to 300 soldiers, or form one from available resources if necessary in the city of Irontown.  (As 2nd Lieutenants, each member of the party can command up to 75 soldiers, but only if their orders authorize it)<br/><br/>The orders include blueprints of Count Omik's lab, but everything past the 2nd level (the end of the R&D section) is omitted for national security reasons.  And probably because the things down there violate the treaty of Thronehold.  There are sketchy documents suggesting that Count Omik found a way to mine undead soldiers; as in, excavate them from the living rock.<br/><br/>They detail a number of contingency plans for dealing with the problem at Count Omik's lab:<br/><br/>Contingency A: In the event undead overrun the lab, there is an emergency lever in an adamantine sealed capsule at the center of the facility.  If the lever is pulled, the lab will flood with magma and the capsule will float to the surface.  Damage to the city of Irontown will be minimal.<br/><br/>Contingency B: Another plan is simply to assault the lab with available troops.  Casualties will likely be high, but it will probably cause no damage to the city.<br/><br/>Contingency C: The temple of the Sovereign Host in the city of Rekkenmark has developed a spell which can cause a planar convergence.  The ritual will take some time to complete, but they should be able to open up a portal to a particularly positive energy infused part of the plane of Irian and destroy all of the undead in the lab that way.  The city will need to be evacuated before the spell can be cast, though, and if the undead get an inkling what's going to happen, they'll likely find a way to burst out of the lab and disrupt the ritual.<br/><br/>Contingency D: The Blood of Vol within Kaarnath has substantial capabilities to bring undead creatures to heel.  If they can be convinced to aid the government, the undead creatures of the lab could be quickly brought back into government service.  Unfortunately, the cult will likely need a great deal of convincing.  King Kaius can order the release of prominent imprisoned cult leaders as an incentive.<br/><br/>Contingency E: By sending word to Flamekeep that Irontown miners dug too deep and uncovered a Dhaakani stash of undead, Thrane can be tricked into sending a unit of Knights of the Silver Flame to soften up the undead.  The plan may be complicated by the fact that some of the Knights might survive and report that the lab didn't look Hobgoblin.  A unit of hobgoblin slaves released into the warrens with hide from undead spells cast on them might mitigate this somewhat.
