Greetings.

I know many of us searching for information that would help us succeed in this mission and some have already uncovered details and items that could be of use.

In an effort to consolidate and keep all the information gathered in one place, would others be amenable to share what you've already uncovered here? This way, more of us are able to be intentional in our hunt for more information about the Orb and situation here. Additionally, further discussions can be facilitated during the course of the Gala this evening.

I have information to share that I will add in as a follow up to my own message, for clearer organization. But first, I would also like to share that both my brother, Wangji, and I are able to create silencing paper talismans for those who may need them. These can be used to block all sound within a space from getting out or silencing an individual. It will be easier for one of us to share with other members of the Featherstone, but exchanges with members of other Families can be arranged at the Gala tonight or worked out afterwards for those interested.


[ooc note: please threadjack away, respond around to info that seems useful and share info all around!]

And the locations of the mines roughly correspond to the family's territories.

If we cannot find the key, I could try bespelling the door open? But given how common magic is here, it's almost certainly guarded against lesser spells, so it might not be easy.

I think he's talking about a different door- one that's halfway up the building, rather than at ground level like a mine entrance.

We're going to need to be subtle though- if it's halfway up the building, there will be no innocent explanation for what we're doing outside the door.

Although if there are multiple entrances... perhaps we can enter through one and draw them away from the other?

Since that entrance has a key, I would assume it's still being used and probably patrolled. We should see if we can watch that entrance for any signs of people coming in and out. Learn the patrolling pattern, maybe steal a uniform and try to sneak in that way?

Great. I'd like to see those, if that's all right. If we can go in through one of the lesser used entrances, that would be safest.

If it's a Lionetta club, hopefully some of our friends from that family will be willing to check out the entrance for us.

Yeah, we should expect surveillance no matter what, but hopefully those other entrances won't be guarded quite so closely.

I didn't think of that... It's possible. We'll have to be on the look-out.

That would be great. My omni-tool should be able to disable any tech-related traps we find along the way.

[The mine team suggestion is here btw]

Hopefully. The weapons at Featherstone seem pretty well-guarded, but I can cover with my biotics if it comes to a fight.

[personal profile] majorbiotic 2021-09-27 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah. We'll have to see who else is interested in coming. Maybe we can get some sort of protective gear.

It wouldn't hurt to try them. We might as well be as prepared as we can be.

Building on what Lan Xichen has said, while the main entrance is likely there at the base of the Lionetta headquarters, side shafts on map came out in a few places not paved over entirely.

1. Under a Lionetta club near the HQ.
2. At the commemorative spot where there's now a fountain.

Brom is a recent return, such as things are, where his family was originally driven out of Braccia years past. They were known as the Gradas at the time, and are what are now known as the Featherstones.
