Draiss stared at the compound for a moment, before suddenly realizing who to beat it. "Fine, a direct attack would be foolish, so lets try something sneaky and laterally inclined. By that, I mean a colony drop. Meet me in my lab in an hour or so, if you don't have anything requiring your attention. I have a spell that should work perfectly for this, but want as many caster's helping as possible."<br/><br/>Serena and the snow leopardess Delvahine that he had rescued from the breeding compound were also informed that he was going to try something, but that he would appreciate their help if they were not busy with other projects in about an hour in his private lab.<br/><br/>The door was open at the hour mark, and while he had only invited the actual casters, anyone that wanted to come would be allowed in. The interior of the lab was completely different from before, now it was a large, mostly empty room, with a few scrolls and books spread on a table in the corner, and several dozen rune magic circles mixed together in the middle, overlapping, interacting, and in general looking like a kender had been given orders to make a bunch of circles on the ground, and had gotten bored. Draiss was scribbling on one of the last corner circles, regularly checking his notes on the scrolls and with the book, before erasing and then rewriting one of the runes, and then pulsing a bit of power through it. The circles glowed softly as the power ran through it, and he nodded in satisfaction, having finally finished something that would have been considered an offensive masterpiece of a civilization's entire magical community. He then sealed the ritual circles into the ground, before collapsing in the center of the mess, nodding to the others. "The biggest circles along the edge are yours. The other smaller circles can be filled by anyone with magical talent and an urge to burn castings for the day. Just me and Serena should be enough, but there is no kill like overkill, and everyone that helps gets a rock named after them. Already found an asteroid thicket, so we should be good to go."
