## Summary

Amber begins tearing apart the table as everyone struggles to get dressed. Gareth is revealed to still be sleeping as Faerthurin checks on her mother. They have a chat with Faerthurin thanking her mother for helping to set her free. Yrlissa then sings the lullaby she sung for Fae as a child.

The group returns to the council room with Vurdock, Zeadrel, Sazaen and Queen Nephtys waiting for them. Amarta arrives slightly late along with King Cassian. They begin discussions about certain events including the drow's possession of Optimarr. Vurdock is enraged which Oin takes notice of. Rime brings up the fact that the fire elf children were rescued but none of the people in the concentration camp were and the portal is out of commission. She also mentions Ravvas's fear of the party which makes the party remember their deals with the archdevils. They hope to get these revelations to the Dragon Lands soon.

Queen Nephtys reveals that her soldiers are coming to help Directian but Utharion is MIA. Cassian also declares that elven scouts and soldiers will help. The anti-magic amulets are still an issue but Jalerom comes up with an idea in the form of an army formation. He also mentions how Elvana reacted to Jeminya coming out of the Astral Diamond suggesting their sensitivity to light.

The dragons will be attacking from Cummelus during this plan. Jalerom asks Ivan who can pilot the city but Ivan has no clue where his people are. Faerthurin gets the idea of going to the Vexent Branch to possibly find them. Jalerom also mentions Sorn's advanced shadow walking abilities and how a few soldiers should deal with him including Nion.

Concerning Ravvas' task force, Jalerom has a plan for them too. Zeadrel gets angry that Jalerom came up with a plan and gives a bag of gold to Sazaen making him the winner of a bet. Amber will be leading the attack with Jeminya and Jalerom on either side of her. Nora and Gareth will be behind Jalerom while Sylvester and Murphy will be behind Jeminya. Oin will be behind Amber. Rime, Ivan and Faerthurin will be the second line in the formation with Zeadrel, Amarta and Cassian in the back. Sazean knows he can't win and flies off.

Jalerom nominates Amber to give the message to the dragon lands and she agrees to but only with Ivan's assistance. Faerthurin will go with the pair while the rest go to Erneon. Faerthurin was hoping to go there in hopes of finding out about the blue gem she got in Baator that was related to the dragons. Amarta recognizes the jewel and gets Amber to swallow it. Amber gets a lightning breath attack and Rime comments that Asmodeus likely got the gem from Tiamat. Everyone was amazed including Kylem. Rime suggests using Kylem to disable the amulets while Jalerom goes with the idea of Kylem rescuing the prisoners. Jalerom added a note for Kylem to leave behind with illusory script.

Rime is very excited about this plan which is a first. Before Faerthurin leaves, she decides to talk with Nion.
