Devaguea pulled all the casters in the capital aside, before asking if this 'ritual' was a thing. At their replies of 'possible,' as the only person that knew anything about the fae still in the capital was Cynthia, and she knew very little, Devaguea sighed, before turning to Allison. "A sending to Amvarean please. Meet myself and Camilla at Numestown in four days. Sending to Sena, meet myself and Camilla at Numestown in four days, Anke will be replacing her with the army."<br/><br/>Allison had prepared several castings of sending each day, knowing that information was paramount in this war. She had also started casting detect scrying, as well as having a pair of scrying spells and a dimensional anchor spell ready in case another assassin tried to get in. Once the sendings were sent, Devaguea went back to the boring part of the war. Figuring out what the hell his opponent was doing. They had no idea what the plan was, and while he doubted Irovetti was planning a ritual, he couldn't let it go forward without at least trying to disrupt it. But as to his armies, Devaguea had no idea what was going on.<br/><br/>They weren't engaging his own army, which outnumbered any one enemy army on its own, and would deal with anything it could run down. The issue was, the enemy knew too much about what they were doing, even with Amvarean butchering their scouts or forcing them to clump up and greatly reducing what they could do. His own spymaster was certain there were no spies in the command or messenger groups, so Pitax had to be using either an oracle or a mage to get the information they were using. But Kesten was certain he could destroy any army he could get to, the issue was forcing the issue. Hopefully the disruption of the 'ritual' would let them force at least a fight, Devaguea didn't want to push into Pitax lands until at least one, preferably two armies had been butchered and scattered.<br/><br/>As it became the day to meet up with the others, Devaguea teleported himself, Camilla and Anke to Numestown, handed Anke over to Kesten, wished him good hunting, before putting the adventuring group on a carpet and heading due east for the mountains. Thanks to Talia, they knew about where some mercenaries had been going, which didn't make much sense for a ritual, but they would ask the survivors questions when they got there.
