He frowned at the notion that they lived in FORESTS rather than caves, and leaned back. This made his primary way of causing chaos less useful, as he had been counting on them being in an enclosed area with only a few ways in or out. This meant he was having to redo nearly his entire strategy for this terrain change. He would have to adjust accordingly.<br/><br/>He had no interest in the other cities yet, he had two months to plan, one month to make everything he needed, and then a couple weeks to get into position. He had already commissioned the only item he needed magic for, a flask of air shaped like a mask, covering his mouth, nose, and eyes, and enchanted to be nearly impossible to break even on purpose. A day of considering and making more smoke charges, however, convinced him that the original plan could work, he would just have to add some real fire with it to ensure the locals were busy dealing with that rather than coming after him.<br/><br/>He got the actual baseline plan done early, and began work on the hundreds of smoke bombs he would need to pull this little stunt off. He would make the actual incendiary bombs last, as they took the most time, and he could replace those with a fireball wand if needed.<br/><br/>Just because he was busy with his biggest plan yet, however, did not mean he wasn't still teaching Elwyrr and Corin on unarmed combat, learning magic from Blossom and Star, and learning Fae formal combat with Elwyrr, PLUS his own physical training to keep himself in shape, on top of keeping his females happy. It did keep him too busy to fret much, though he did remember, a couple months before midwinter, to ask Aurelia if one of the dragons would be free to give him a ride somewhere. All they would have to do is get him in the area, he would deal with landing and getting out.
