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 need a base of operation close by but far enough away that we won't trip the city defenses." Rose started to pace. "I've broke someone out of a max security prison before. But I had the prison layout then and some spirit users to help..."

He watched her, hesitating a little before glancing briefly in the direction of their resident dragon mage.

"...is this in case negotiating doesn't work..? Morpheus suggested..."

"I'm not a negotiator." She turned to face him. "Really, do I look like a negotiator? I'm a Guardian, Jacques. My job is to protect people and kill those that try to hurt them. I totally suck at negotiation."

"....oh." Well, the hunter himself was definitely out as a negotiator, especially given he barely spoke a handful of sentences any given day.

And Nowi sure as hell wouldn't be a good negotiator. "This is why I said we should leave the negotiations to the Red and Bronze flights. We should talk to them, but we're more made for infiltration than anything else."

Jacques nodded at that. That was fine with him. He was better doing things on the side than take a direct approach anyway. Of course, he would still leave the talking to the others when it came to coordinating with the other Flights.

"You good with just that big bow... thing?" Whatever it was, it didn't look like anything Rose thought was practical. "Morpheus finally cleared the cobwebs out of the Emerald Armory. We have free access."

Casting a brief glance at his bow gun, he nodded again at Rose, giving the weapon a pat. "I don't miss." Unless he did so on purpose, but did that count as missing or not-missing...

He arched a brow at the mention of the armory, however. It was a useful thing to know, he supposed.. If necessary, he could see if there were any arrows to repurpose, but he found that he could grow some suitable shafts from trees if necessary.

"There's armor in there as well," Rose pointed out. "I need to get outfitted myself."

Not being one for armor, Jacques supposed it might be a good idea to see if there was anything light. Looking thoughtfully at Rose, he tilted his head. "...do you use a weapon too..?"

Reaching into her leather jacket, she pulled out a long silver stake with some etchings on it. "This is a Guardian's weapon of choice outside of our hands and feet. It's attuned to destroying undead. I am trained in swords and small blade, along with staffs."

It looked like a pretty unwieldy weapon to him, but Jacques wasn't going to question her ability with it. He wasn't exactly an expert with undead either, so he trusted Rose to know what she was capable of. It was nice to know what other weapons she was familiar with as well, however.

He nodded. That made Rose mostly close-range combat, which was handy to know as well.

"Morpheus also said the dragon mages set up that orb outside Sin'thalas so we could talk to the other flights, and it's relatively safe from the elves." Rose ginned. "Think you can be ready in a hour to go set up camp there and be the first Flight on site?"

Also good to note, he supposed, if he ever had to get in contact with anyone else. As much of a trend as it was becoming, Jacques nodded again, hesitating before he offered a more verbal response to accompany it.

"Yeah. Should be ready then."

"Good. I'll grab you when it's time to go." Rose started toward the armory, but paused. "Oh, if you can use any of your flight abilities, now would be a good time to mention it."

He caught himself from nodding again, tilting his head as Rose stopped. "...I can grow things..." That was the only thing he felt most comfortable with so far, and even if he might have started to dabble with anything else, he didn't think that these were the most appropriate circumstances to practice.

That was better than nothing. "I don't know about Nowi and Lady, but at least between you and me, we can conceal the camp around the orb and fortify our position better. See you in an hour."

[ooc: I'll be breaking on the scrying comm when I come back from dinner tonight.]

Allowing himself a final nod at that, Jacques turned to see to his own equipment. It wouldn't take him an hour to get himself geared up, but there was no reason to waste time, either.
