Asleod had been watching the group's antics for a while now, and after Alexander decided to light things up, so to speak, he chose to address folks again.<br/><br/>"Personal opinions aside, it's a foregone conclusion that blood will be spilled.  It's only a question of amount and quality.  We should probably try to minimize the amount of needless bloodshed, as it isn't likely to win us any friends among the survivors.  On the other hand, there are some people who are almost crucial to remove whatever the means."<br/><br/>He listened for a while as the group batted ideas back and forth for a while, but not getting much anywhere.  By his calculations, they should probably start their first operation in less than a week.  There was an ideal gathering of nobles coming up soon, and he wanted their agents present there as well.<br/><br/>"What you also must keep in mind is the simple fact that though bloodletting will doubtlessly be required on out part, the odds are enormously stacked that we will all die horrible deaths before we can carry this through.  But everyone knew from the start that this job wasn't all that conductive for a long life to begin with."<br/><br/>Asleod then stalks back to his original table, and slaps a large parchament down on it.  It obviously depicts one of the larger noble keeps in the city.  It is rather rudimentary, though.  Large areas are blank, and there are several marked with questions as well.  Particularly places which aren't in the generally used part of the keep.<br/><br/>"This is Keep Leonid, where their House is hosting an autumn ball in a few days.  It's one of the larger houses, and the head of the house sits on the Council of Lords as well.  Obtaining invitations to the ball shouldn't be that hard for those of you who frequent things like that.  It would probably be a good place to start our operation.  While some of our people are dancing and mingling with the nobles, it should be possible for the rest to see what's under the keep's cellar.  I know there's a space underneath, but none of my sources knew anything definite about it."<br/><br/>He spread the map out on the table, outlining an outside servant's  entrance to the cellar, as well as the main ballrooms and dining rooms for those who'd need to be there.<br/><br/>"Thoughts, people?"<br/><br/>
