warforged | Quest Log: Suit Up!

Who: Dragon mages and dragonsworn.
What: You have been given a quest to infiltrate Sin'thalas and rescue your fellow dragonsworn. Also discussion of scrying orbs.
Where: The sanctums.
When: May 4th and ongoing for a week.
Warnings: Please PM the mods if needed.

Despite the chaos surrounding the disappearances of several Dragonsworn, your sanctum's dragon mage is trying to be calm about this. After a brief discussion behind the scenes with the others, he or she has returned.

"Gather 'round, I have some grave news. Several Dragonsworn have gone missing. We found them, but we are unable to rescue them by ourselves. It would look very bad if dragons were to attack a settlement. That is why we are asking you for help.

"Southeast of Suramar is a village named Sin'thalas. It is these elves who have taken and imprisoned the Dragonsworn. Whether you negotiate or use force to ensure the return of your brethren, it will not be easy. These elves are highly-trained and knowledgeable, far from the refugees you may have seen in the Retreat.

"In light of this, we have implemented a system to communicate over great distances." The dragon mage unveils a magical orb nearby, the perfect size for gazing. "This is a scrying orb. Approach it and think of Sin'thalas, and you will be seen and heard from the orb at that location. It also works in reverse. This should allow us to coordinate our movements depending on the flow of the situation.

"I urge you to think carefully about how best to retrieve your fellow Dragonsworn. You are yet a small force and highly outnumbered. We cannot afford to lose any of you."

[ooc: If characters want to use the orbs,

lookingformore is now OPEN. Remember, orbs CANNOT connect from sanctum to sanctum!]

"We're going to help." Yes, Rose just decided that for everyone. Try to talk her out of it. "I think the fact that we are going to help without any of ours being in danger is going to say a whole lot."

Oh, Rose. Morpheus' eyebrow arched, but then he grinned a little, sharp teeth and all. "Yes. Yes, please do. Lady Ysera will be pleased. She and Lady Alexstrasza are like sisters."

"And if necessary, we can use it for leverage the next time something happens and it has us in need of help and they don't want to lift a finger because it's none of theirs involved." Rose liked making statements. "Not everyone is as nice as I am."

Rose was fairly nice, considering. He was very glad she was in his flight and not... some other flight, though she would certainly make waves no matter where she went. "Leverage is also good."

He gestured in the direction of the food. "This is a good time to bring up the armory. It is over there, near the food. If you need something it is yours."

Making waves was a Hathaway specialty. There were probably very few dragonsworn out there considering busting down another Sanctum's door to help.

"Oh, hey, that's a real good thing to have available now. Hopefully we can slip in and out the guards to sleep without having to use our weapons, but I'm a big fan of if someone is trying to stab me in the face, I'm going to stab them back. Be nice to be prepared for that." A pause. "Are you going to come with us or stay here?"

Morpheus looked a little worried at the suggestion.

"Lady Ysera would be very disappointed in me if I were to be hurt," he said finally. "I am not used to fighting in this form and I make a large target otherwise. I am sorry."

He was a lover, not a fighter. Kind of literally.

"Yeah, I didn't think you were, but I thought I'd check before starting to come up with something more solid of a plan."

Rose didn't even blink at the implication that Ysera didn't care if her dragonsworn got hurt. To the dhampir, it was just like dealing with royal Moroi. They generally didn't care if the guardians got hurt or died in their service, but suggest Moroi fight alongside guardians and they get their panties in a huge twist.

"Tell me about the placement of this orb thing by Sin'thalas. Is it in a safe area that we could set up a base camp for this rescue mission at?"

Morpheus didn't mean to imply that at all, but as a consort, he was sort of a bigger target than most green dragons. A son or daughter would still be grieved, but orphaning several children in one motion would be pretty bad.

"It is outside the walls, so it should be relatively safe." A pause. "Which is good, because it would be very sad if any of you were to be hurt."

"That might be, but it's inevitable that we are going to get hurt. If not with these elves, than with the Burning Legion. It's just how things go," Rose replied.

"So, my plan right now is to get suited up with the armory, get some provisions together and then we're going to go set up a camp at that orb before the other fights get around to it." She gave a cocky little smile. "And then I'm going to let the other flights know just how generous the Green Flight is."

"I know..." It's not something he likes to think about, if his guilty expression is anything to go by. "And I will do my best to heal you, when that happens."

He nods at her plan. It seems sound. Until they know what the other flights are doing, it's about the only plan they have. He reaches out after a moment, gently places his hand on her shoulder. It's a brief gesture, but warm. "Be careful, Rose."

Heals were good. Rose never liked it when Lissa healed her - because it made the dangers of Lissa going insane that much greater - but that didn't seem like it was an issue in Azeroth. And having someone who can heal around when there were things trying to kill her was nice.

She glanced at the hand, a little surprised at the gesture, but simply gave Morpheus a cocky grin. "Don't worry. Rose Hathaway is on the case," she said before trotting off to find her flightmates.
