[calmness]

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!]

Related to the mines, that fountain's likely the most accessible way in should we figure it out, to then navigate up underneath the Lionetta HQ. Or out through, in all honesty.

The technology of your helmet, would you be able to find anything similar in the markets of this city?

I was thinking along the same lines regarding the fountain. It's a very public place, though, so we either need to stage a distraction or do it when it's dark. Or foggy...perhaps one of the people here who can do magic could create fog? I know someone who controls shadows.

That's pretty unlikely, no. My helmet happens to be more practical because it can be hidden quickly but given the past mining industry of the city, it shouldn't be too hard for us to find the old-fashioned gas masks used in mines.

[peerlesscucumber]

Distraction should be simple. This is for people suffering certain inclinations? Easy to scout under such presumptive circumstances.

Fog is possible... this one would think there are means of generating fog in this city which might be charms or even as simple as one solution heard, such as... ice? That is dry?

You don't believer there are any more modern versions of this "gas mask" you speak of?

[spacedisaster]

What do you mean by people with certain inclinations?

Yes, it's possible to make fog with dry ice, but it's not very practical. You need to keep adding the dry ice to some sort of bowl with hot water. It's also dangerous, you can burn yourself by touching it and as it melts it turns into a kind of toxic gas that can lead to asphyxiation. If we do it in the square, it should be an open enough space, but we will need lots of dry ice and hot water. Again, not ideal.

There might be, but if they're too expensive, we might not be able to afford them.
