This is the team that's been chosen to go into Minrathous to get the Inquisition captives back out. The questions that need to be answered are:

• how are they getting into Minrathous?
  
• how are they getting into the Archon's palace?
  
• how are they finding the prisoners within the palace?
  
• how are they getting the prisoners out of the palace?
  
• how are they getting everyone back out of Minrathous?

These questions need to be answered by end of day EST Thursday. If the team hasn't clearly agreed on a plan of action by then we'll either make Coupe decide, since she's ICly in charge, or take the main ideas from the post and create a quick poll.

Here are some key facts that they've gathered:

• the prisoners were taken to the palace (thanks to Max for passing that news along)
  
• there is a large, fancy court event being held to honor the new Archon and (rumor has it) to invest Calpernia with a new title
  
• the catacombs extend beneath much of the island, including the palace
  
• there are ground and water patrols guarding the bridge into Minrathous and the water approach to the island, but they can't be everywhere at all times
  
• the red lyrium dragon remains sat atop the palace when it's not flying off to burninate and devour the peasantry or whatever

Resources at their disposal:

• A team of additional mages and warriors who are more than ready to smash whatever needs smashing as loudly as possible
  
• Whatever transportation, disguises, and tools they need, within reason. I.e. it's fine to assume they can get their hands on things like some Venatori robes if they want them or some basic intel, but no concocting new magical artifacts that make everyone invisible and just happen to be forgotten in an archive somewhere, or suddenly recalling a new NPC agent in the city who's Head Whatever at the palace, etc.

We're including an OOC top-level below for questions related to this planning, just to keep everything consolidated in one post. Most things are flexible (to a point) based on what sounds most fun to the group, but if you need some feedback or confirmation about something, ask there.
