Night 0 : preplanning

THE BIG PLAN OF THE FORCES OF EVIL [FoE] is to sacrifice Kree to resurrect Strahd von Zarovich in a midwinter/Dark Skies Ritual on the 30th anniversary of his slaughter by Kree & Anasatsia

FoE include:

• Supreme Commander (Lady Dokkalfer, see Elvish Isles box), a Sitri pactee appointed by the War Party (in TerraNova), and ally of Ruby Scourge.
• Her MILITARY SUBORDINATES: including Morequendi (in CP of Borovia box)
• Her current minion DARK SKIES a Drow person/Thing of Power
• Her minion Ld AZZUR (see Calder box)
• The INFECTED PRINCE --- giant wolfman / giant magma creature / giant elf creature (he can flux between those states)
• and (currently) the Giants he controls

FOUR(?) demons involved: Vassago, Phenix, Sitri, Forneus, [and … ?]

CONSEQUENCES:

• A vindictive, resurrected Arch-Vampire is dangerous for us & our friends/relatives/employers on this side of the Continent.
• Freeing Terminius bad
• The Drow Military controlling much of Alusia not good either.
• Also, Karisi (from Asan) an ex of Cain's wants to use Darkskies after the ritual so that she can kill Cain … which might be bad

UNITED KEY AIMS & TASKS:

• To Weaken the Drow
• To free Lord Azzur from external evil influences/control of Karisi (Lady Of Dark Dreams, Lady Bloodsong)
• A pre-emptive Ashan Azuria regalia acquisition/raid to avoid misuse of items for FoE ritual
• To persuade Drow to retreat (Can the diverted portal, formerly to KinLu, be liberated or safely disabled after such a retreat?)

POSSIBLE TACTICS:

• Some Janx are supposedly fetching the important regalia — disrupt!
• The Caleenline walkers are obliged to return home if the Callen ruins are threatened [Prudence mission?]
• Rumours of ITEM/person who can change the location of a portal (only a few hundred miles).; remember Portals are currently controlled/perverted by the snake priests who are controlled by Kirisi
• Cultivate/Liberate potential allies … namely:

POTENTIAL ALLIES & possible critical/pressure points of the Enemy's structure

• Karisi's associate, Noor-un-nisa Inayat Khan, is a Princess of Azuria
• The giants currently under the Infected Prince's Control (Fire & Ice Gts)

N/A: M&R are in Hells, training.

ANCILIARY THREATS

• Sasha has identified Sangarius [Vampire & Zombie Lord] & 19 minions is lurking in Sewers beneath Sanctuary
• FAKE PEOPLE: There is also a Kree at the Guild … some party members were almost clowned …sorry cloned. KatG may be only a Klone, He is real but that doesn't necessarily mean there are no others.--Kelsie (talk) 22:06, 18 June 2018 (MDT)

SASHA's group

• going to Azuria … to investigate, but esp. to “relocate” the formerly Ashan Sceptre of Terminus.

ARYAN'S group:

• Infiltrate Morgor's Lair, this time doing it the easy way [NB: inside the front door of Morgor's Lair (on the right?) there's an Antechamber that has the amulets for the service-staff] in order to:
• Use the Kraken Heartstone to control vampires [drop it into Karisi's pool in Mgr's lair]
• Then raid the armoury … see shopping list:
• HORNS --- can use on the Ruby Scourge to lower MR

QUESTIONS

• from Sabrina — How many Krees are there?
• Who has the item to dismantle the Infected Prince: Dunmer has the weapon, but I don't know WHAT it is --Kelsie (talk) 22:06, 18 June 2018 (MDT)

SHOPPING LIST

• IMPORTANT provisions: including Jasper amulets
• request something useful from the Armoury.
