Again, twas excellent logic from the excellent tactician.  It was far less likely they'd move the statue of Adon than they would remove the shield from it's rightful place.  It would mean less foes to fight at once, based on the logic she had used, to go to Luthcheq first then to the Tsurlagol opera house, not that they'd have much time to rest between them; they'd have to leave from Luthcheq<em>immediately</em>after the fight to avoid any suspicion being raised.  Then again, they had gone from fighting an elder dragon to fighting that terrible wicker man to fighting the half-dragoness to fighting that snake in one day, so it shouldn't be much of an issue at all.<br/><br/>That was quite good too, because it didn't seem like they'd be getting much help at all from anyone here... even Rana, whom she suspected was the head priestess here, had magic not even as powerful as Kass' own... how was that the case?  Kass knew she was a prodigy, but<em>this</em>much of one?  Hard to imagine... but for the moment it meant that she and Aria would be going it alone, save for what help they could get in Luthcheq (assuming they allow her and Aria to help, and if not... well, they had been warned, and it was off to Tsurlagol instead).<br/><br/>Kass told the men and women of the temple not to bother traveling to Cormyr unless they didn't arrive back at the temple within two day's time; Kass could get there much faster as it was, which meant if they did not find the caster of such a spell after thwarting the theft and acquiring the statue she'd be making the trip herself.  That said, someone with such a spellcasting ability would likely not be leaving for their target town until the day of; if you could blow up a town, you could probably teleport to it in an instant, all things considered.  When all was said and done, all things organized and evaluated... Kass went to find Aria in the library, to where she had found the requisite maps and information, which would be enough with the staff they now wielded.<br/><br/>"Well, as I see it, we need to quickly make our way into town, sell off what we can of our magic items and whatnot, and maybe pick up a few of those teleportation scrolls, to save my own personal energy, though no more than two or three at best I'd think." Kass said with her ever-present grin "Who knows?  Maybe if I put on a show for him, he'll give us one or two for free!  But no matter, after that it's on to Luthcheq, as you suggested my wonderfully intelligent little 'servant'.  'Mistress' Kass wants to get there and get things organized so she can rest up for the evening, because after the shield-theft-thwarting we're heading immediately to Tsurlagol to get Adon's statue, lest they contact them and set off some sort of alarm to get things moving ahead of schedule.  If all goes as I foresee it as going, we should have saved the Cormyrian town, the Shield in Ares' temple,<em>and</em>brought the Statue of Adon back to Siwa all by the light of the morrow's morn... with plenty of time for me to take Rana over that balcony like that man who aided us with the imposter had... does that sound good to you, my servant girl?"<br/><br/>Thank you for answering my queries ^_^<br/><br/>By the way, just out of curiosity, is it sad that I'm also planning ahead as to when I get to have sex with whom?  Aria will likely be in Luthcheq, if all things are to go well and she gets to replenish her spells, and Rana will likely be after we get back with the statue (tomorrow morning if it all works out right), and from there... well, I'll probably have another mission crop up, or perhaps free time as Kass, so we'll work something out I'm sure.  Of course, that's<em>after</em>we get the statue back and everything ^_^<br/><br/>So, as it stands I think it'll just be Kass and Aria heading to Luthcheq,<em>hopefully</em>to be reasonably well met (as in not killed on sight or treated as lepers for having/being magic or using magical items >.>), then immediately after killing all the thieves in the early morning, heading via teleport (by staff or by runestaff) to the other town to unleash even more ass-kicking... should go well I think ^_^<br/><br/>If you want to RP out her putting on some sort of show, I'm fine with that, or if you want me to simply roll for it and us move on to Luthcheq, then that is quite fine as well.
