	:When The Lamp is at 200 foot, a 5 foot chunk of the top step will be blasted away from the palace, and the air elemental swoops in and grabs it. All forces then turn tail and flee, trying to protect the step if possible. Failure to protect the step is perfectly acceptable.		:When The Lamp is at 200 foot, a 5 foot chunk of the top step will be blasted away from the palace, and the air elemental swoops in and grabs it.

	:As The Lamp slews round and turns to retreat, Darien & Kit will pop into the ethereal (''with luck, a brief puff of mist will not be noticed''). It's a fairly long walk into the dungeon, at 1 foot/second ~~â€“~~ say 3 minutes. When they are in the correct position (Navigation, Crystal, Geometry to confirm bearing and timing), they will prepare, pop out, and cast, and take Malcolm back with them. Then it's another 3 minutes in the Ethereal back outside, where hopefully they will arrive within a few feet of the remainder of the front step, at about the time that the rest of the party either (a) reaches the border, hotly pursued, or (b) begins another diversionary attack, apparently timed for a minute after our expected arrival.		:As The Lamp slews round and turns to retreat, Darien & Kit will pop into the ethereal (''with luck, a brief puff of mist will not be noticed'').

	:Why Darien as the second inside man? ~~â€“~~ mainly because he can summon Rank 20 Ethereal Elementals as a talent in the Ethereal, which is useful in case there are djinn/defences there (Errol, its true ~~â€“~~ this talent works at your highest rank in Illusion or Shadow magics), and also can teleport. Aryan would be my other preference, as the best fighter, in case we need to fight to the steps, or even inside the dungeon. Broc is also a viable option as a versatile fighter mage. SF is needed for the vessel, and Lathe for the elemental. Going in alone would be really foolish. Kit can cast Ethereal Halls (his Maze variant) on 3 targets ~~â€“~~ Kit, Malcolm, and one other (thus not two-target Lathe).		:Why Darien as the second inside man? - mainly because he can summon Rank 20 Ethereal Elementals as a talent in the Ethereal, which is useful in case there are djinn/defences there (Errol, its true - this talent works at your highest rank in Illusion or Shadow magics), and also can teleport.

	;Why a Diamond Lamp?		;Why a Diamond Lamp?
	:It's scary to Djinn ~~â€“~~ they won't want to come in after us. It's enclosed from air magics. It's transparent (in the bits without bronze) so we can cast our non-bolt spells. It's diamond, so reasonably hard to break. It's the right shape for a boat. It's going to be inside a 50 foot high, 50 mph stream of water, so should be hard to affect in general. It obscures the enemy's vision enough to be able to hide 2 people behind illusions without too much suspicion. It's weird enough that they won't know what to make of it. It keeps the four most ablative party members close together under the control of a Rank 10-15 Mil Sci and with MR120-200. And it's amusing.		:It's scary to Djinn - they won't want to come in after us. It's enclosed from air magics. It's transparent (in the bits without bronze) so we can cast our non-bolt spells.
