Yes indeed.  We need much more information before we can even begin, since we are NOT kicking in the door to go in fighting.  Again, in a previous post, the troops were already inside the keep, holding the door down into the facility, so I assume that the Keep was safe.  So all we need to know is where we can set up the Hallow ritual, and what the defensive areas look like, so we can order the defense in our absense, after the Hallow ritual is finished.<br/><br/>This is what we know so far.<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">The lab had three entrances; two of them were secret trapdoors in the city, blocked off with heavy anvils secured with rope.  The final entrance was a set of adamantine reinforced iron doors in the basement of the city keep, where the majority of the soldiers were clustered.  The dusty wine basement had a number of tents set into it, where soldiers had been keeping up their constant vigil.  The side entrances had smaller complements of soldiers equipped with sending wands, so that the unit could mobilize in the event that there was an unexpected breakout.  The main entrance seemed like a much more likely bet than the side entrances though, for the simple fact that it's easier to invade on the same level than when you have to climb a ladder.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>If the basement is secure, then probably there is an upper room the ritual could be completed in... though I'm not assuming that.  I'm asking it instead. Also, in the main thread, we have two aborted conversations, one in which Ithika is talking to an engineer, and one in which Kasumi asks an important question OF Ithi'ka in the basement of the keep.
