Yeah, Xinivrae. I've got her mentioned in Galyxx's backstory as a 'neighbor', but didn't remember off the top of my head. I figure as one of Malcanthet's former rivals for Queen of the Succubi, she'll know things about Shendilavri that could be of use.<br/><br/>As far as Grimjaw, we could set it up as a two-person deal. Have Torahime go in openly and 'challenge' Grimjaw to a duel, with Galyxx waiting to ambush him in support. The key is getting him under the Dimensional Lock of Dream-Eater; killing him will be a failure, but so will letting him escape once he realizes he's been cornered.<br/><br/>As far as as a buyer - how pissed is Grazz't going to be that Byrmril is dead? He is one of Malcanthet's chief rivals, and if we set it up to look like we're cats'-paws attacking her for him, we could get some subtle but very powerful support in our corner. Specifically, my concern is if the heist goes south and Malcanthet locks down Shendilavri from planar travel, only someone of equal power to her can punch through that and pull us out. Ideally we would sneak in, loot the vaults, and sneak out without anyone knowing we are there, but the more contingencies against failure the better.<br/><br/>Assuming we take Grimjaw alive, we can 'hide' both Galyxx and Nyag'athon inside him. My original idea was to use Muramasa as 'proof' of the kill, but if Torahime is willing to risk herself by playing live bait, we could bring her along directly to Malcanthet. That would give us a three-person infiltration team as our Trojan Horse. Meanwhile, Anasil, Echidna, Methu, and Ungrath are on the outside leading a diversionary attack - flesh-birthed abominations and undead warriors generally wreaking havoc and property damage to draw attention outside of the palace.<br/><br/>Or possibly two diversionary attacks; have Anasil's undead making what looks like a raid from the outskirts with either Methu or Ungrath in support. Once a reaction is visible, Echidna and her spawn+whoever isn't helping Anasil launch what looks to be an attack on the palace directly, with the undead presumably the feint. Both of these are actually feints for the real heist team, who we have snuck inside the palace defenses ahead of time.
