Video | Morning of 22 November | Open to both courts

[gordianknots]

[A little after ten in the morning, Waver’s face is on the network again. Behind him is the same inn from the last broadcast, and he remains as cool and stern faced as ever. His voice is calm as he speaks, with just a hint of authority to make it at least seem like things are under control.]

Good morning. We have received intel from within Redgate, and the objective of what is to be done to help it has changed. Those who went into Redgate first have since been dropped into the waters off the coast of Leathann. We have confirmed this both by scrying, and attempting locket communication which has only given us the sound of water. It is at the request of Redgate’s temporary administration that we find those missing, and get them onto dry land.

With that in mind, I propose the following: if someone is capable of bringing a map of the area between the Shipyard ring, Leathann, and the main continent with longitude and latitude clearly marked, we can determine exactly where those missing are. With that information in mind, we will ask those who can teleport or else fly to enter that area and locate the individuals.

Meanwhile, we will request that anyone who can access ships, or else provide a vessel of some sort enter the waters to act as a rendezvous point. If those flying or teleporting can’t carry more than one person with them, this will be key in getting everyone to dry land.

For all of this to work, I need that map sooner rather than later. Please.

Those who can offer the ability to teleport, please arrive here. Those who can fly, I ask that you get into the area and be on stand by - coordinates will be given to you the minute we have them. Those who have water and ship access, I ask that you do the same - head into the waters, and be on standby.

A list of names will be available to those involved in the rescue mission. Otherwise I would rather protect identities involved.

Thank you.

Private, to Rin

I’m staying in Daonna to administrate. There wasn’t a chance of me going into Redgate to begin with, there were plenty of other people more qualified than me. Sorry for making you worry.

It's hard to say until we get out there, but I can follow Kaldur above the water. I can fly at a pretty good clip. [Go fairy flight power.]

I'm just hoping there's not another sort of trap waiting, there. Oceans hold so many secrets.

[Who knows what they might come across. Not that she's deterred by that in the least.]

We should keep an eye out. [She frowns mildly.] I got a recent lesson on why having bodies so close together might not mean the best thing.

[waterbearer]

If they were dead bodies, odds are they would have bloated and sunk by now, or have only recent;y resurfaced. [ Which means they wouldn't be where they are now, among other things. Sorry to be so grim, here.

He turns to Flora to listen to her as well,and then nods. ]

That is fine with me, if you can keep up with my speeds. [ Zippin' around 200 mph oh yeah! Everyone's gonna be all "huh?" when these two whizzes whirl right on by. ]

And caution should remain exercised, though I doubt any other creatures would have made it here.

[gordianknots]

Then I believe we have a plan. I can handle any and all questions about boats and where they ought to be going.

A check in time every so often would be a wise idea. There's only one last question I have, and that is in regards to both of you if you can swim-and-fly with an extra person. If we can help the boats out by closing a distance gap, then that's all the better.

[waterbearer]

I can swim with another person, and could likely pull a raft if we could rig a harness. Carrying another would slow my speed, however, in consideration for another's biology [ Except maybe John. He could probably carry John pretty well so long as he kept close to the surface so he could breathe. ] A raft or small boat would slow it less so, but still slowed.

[showmeyourwreath]

I can carry one other person, or lift others with magic. But, if it comes to needing a harness, I can make one with my vines, too. They're much stronger than steel.

I wonder if the ships should bring a few provisions, if they can.. I don't know everyone on the list, so I don't want to assume they'll all be fine without having had water, at least. If not, I think I can manage something.

[gordianknots]

Then, assuming that a few more people offer to help, we shouldn't have a problem getting all those missing away in one cohesive group. That is a huge advantage.

I'll talk to those sending ships immediately. Food, water, dry clothing. I--

[Waver stops, a detail suddenly jumping to the forefront of his mind.]

One of the people involved can't be out in the sunlight.

[showmeyourwreath]

[Oh, welp, that certainly is a detail.]

The Brucolac? He has no protection? Is there any way to know if he's still alive?

[Vampires or vampir aren't exactly her specialty and even so, he's not from her world. She can't say what she needs or doesn't.]

[gordianknots]

No, and no. When Harry pulled him out of the Redgate mountains though, Harry made use of a heavy shroud and that seemed to work. Collecting one for our purposes here might be the only way we can help on that particular front.

[showmeyourwreath]

That would proooobably be better than sticking him in a giant flower. [Maybe.] I could probably enchant it to ward against sunlight.

[That might take a bit of dark magic, though. How uncomfortable. She's hoping not, though. If she just repels sunlight instead of having it disappear.]

The ward might not last terribly long--I'm more used to working with the light, than against it, in most circumstances--but it should get the job done. And, um, I'm often at the court courtiers, so I have a few things to spare.

[Fashion week is every week.]

[gordianknots]

[Admittedly, that would be a delightful mental image.]

I think that's the smarter thing to do. There might also have been a temporary solution found by those at sea, so if they've found a better method, then use it.
