"Alright, we have a majority for prioritizing the dragon..." Zombs said slowly. He looked at Grogza, "but, I don't want to risk it unless we are unanimous on this."<br/><br/>"Don't worry, I'm not going to throw a tantrum until I get my way," Grogza joked. "It's not my first choice, but if we're going to do this, I'm behind you one hundred percent."<br/><br/>"Good to hear. Now, as Rayne said, we need to negate Telathrax's darkness and his fear aura. And then we need to figure out how to actually kill him."<br/><br/>Starstrike spoke up. "A<em>daylight</em>spell will negate the darkness, and I can arrange some of the lower-level players to chip in with buffs. Lots of buffs, potions, scrolls, whatever we need."<br/><br/>"Then we load up on cheap dragon bane weapons and wail on him," Sabrith added. "Lizzy can get us a couple dragon bane axes and a bunch of dragon bane or bleeding arrows."<br/><br/>"And a rear-guard as well, to watch our backs," Zombs said. "We're bypassing the sewers, so we'll need them to hold off any monster that decides to backtrack."<br/><br/>"I can make the teleportation circle two-way with a few changes," Ishtar said, "The tentacles impregnating the prisoners are living, they'll know immediately if the prisoners are free. I'm afraid the only way of surprising Telathrax is to attack him first without freeing the prisoners first."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Preparations</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em>A list of outstanding issues and decisions made for the operation ahead.
