Devaguea tore into the meal his body demanded in spite of the ring of sustenance, listening to the reports. "Alright, get a map, and start plotting where each report of unusual animal numbers has been sighted. See if we can spot a pattern in either the locations, or in the times reported. If all that fails to provide us a direction, have the local druids see about capturing and interrogating a few of the animals, and see if they can learn anything that way. And get the rangers and hunters out there to start thinning those groups out."<br/><br/>The dragon looked over the information provided, before noting the Ghaele would require a greater planar ally spell to call forth. After debating with the casters for a bit, he decided he could fund the casting and payment with the treasury, since it was to destroy an evil artifact. He ordered the conversion of enough of the treasury to support the endeavor, plus enough to cover the costs. He deliberately overdrew the amount required, figuring it was better to have too much converted than not enough.<br/><br/>Once the BP was converted, he dispatched both Anke and Korima to Restov along with a contingent of guards, with orders to pick up a scroll of planar ally that could summon the Ghaele. He also asked Zach to prepare a casting of remove blindness while the ladies were out, they might be able to waive the direct gold cost with an offer to attempt to restore the Ghaele's sight. Though that would be after the deed was done.
