Blaize-Blain gets ready to take to the skies only for his hope to do so be as grounded as he was. "Yes, we half breeds have all felt oppression and that we were not good enough for our societies, but we are here for a reason. I had both my dragon clan and elven family disown me. I did not ask to be born, but I was anyway. In my opinion, I am a better warrior how I am than if I was full dragon or full elf. I am happy how I am, and even when I am disliked, I know there is something good about me because Bahamut, My Lord, has made me one of his personal knights."
He then turns to Rill, "So there was no use in us being here? I came here to fight and help in anyway posible. It it in my nature as a mythril dragon to defend the forces of good at any cost. That may explain why there are so feew of us left, but I refuse to sit here and do nothing when I could at least be scouting. I am willing to fly up there and see from a 'birds eye view' what we are dealing with, and, if I am seen, I will fight and act as a diversion and lower the defenses in this area since they would be focused on me. I want to do something."

"Rill you have tried this outside of the planes right. Because at the ranges we're talking about Fireballs won't reach and muskets simply aren't accurate enough. Any sort of crosswind and what accuracy they have will be gone. How do you intend to see your targets anyway. 20 miles or so is a fair distance to be picking out anything smaller than a terrian feature. No offence Rill but I don't see how you intend this to work." Challenger said.
"Blaize-Blain we're short handed as it is the last thing we need is to lose another man. Stay put and go in with the rest of us please."

Koriisa turns to look at Blaize-Blain. Her look is angry and sad at the same time. She only looks for a second, before turning back to the fortress, and says nothing.

Bariel let out a sigh when Rill finished telling his plan. Even though she said nothing, it was clear that Bariel didn't share Rill's assurance in zero casualties...

Frustrated, the half dragon sits down, closes his eyes channeling his anger.

Challenger, my troops spend years honing their vision and perfecting their aim. They are able to place shots on baatezu whose skin color matches the burnt ground. As for my mages... they have their ways of extending the range of their attacks. Regardless, I have used the rain of fire on 4 seperate prime material worlds, on olympus, the abyss, in baator, in elysium, and in mechanus. It has never failed and I have never had a single casualty. Unless our foe is superior to the armies of the abyss, I fear nothing here. Rill said, defensively
As for you, Blaize-Blain, we need you to find us a weak point so that we as a small group are able to enter the castle without notice. Something like lower troop concentrations that we might be able to use would be enough.

Challenger appeared to be doing some mental arithmatic
"Ok your going to have to explain the spell part Rill. The most powerful mage I know can only put a fireball out to arround two thirds of a mile. 19 and a bit short of what you need. As for the muskets, I've fired some, I've a fair idea of what you can and can't do with them and unless there isn't even a breeze you've more chance of hitting us than the castle. Even if you can extend your range by a factor of 30 all he's going to have to do is fetch some cloud cover and you won't be able to see anyway. I don't know how physics and magic worked where you tried this but as it stands its not feasible here." Challenger replied.

Amy listened to all of the conversations, she didn't seem to get involved though.
Wondering what she must do, she couldn't help but feel hopeless and untrained again.
"Perhaps there is something which is necessary of my skills?" Amy braved speaking to the others, she didn't want to intrude but still felt as though she must know what they have planned for her usage, otherwise she would be useless to the cause.

"We're at the waiting stage at the minute Amy we'll all have as many enemys as you could wish for in a minute." Challenger said. "And a few more besides." he added under his breath.
"We can't move until the rest of the parties turn up."

Amy's cheeks flushed.
~Is that all I am to you, a warrior.~ She thought, her anger present by the unusual red colour of her face.
"I just was wondering if I could be useful for something else while we wait....I felt rather useless. I am sorry do forgive my intrusion, I shall not do so again." Amy went back to standing straight and waiting for whatever task she could do.

"Oh, little heroine is being humble, isn't she?" came a mocking femenine voice, as female figure stepped from behind a large rock in about fifty feet from the heroes.
She was strikingly beautiful, with her long reddish-brown hair fall freely behind her shoulders, waving at the slight breeze. However, her beautiful appearance was a bit lessened by the fact, that the woman had brown-feathered wings behind her back, which slightly resemble wings of an eagle. She wasn't carring any weapons or armor, and her only clothes consisted of black leather bikini and black leather belt with many pockets.
Of all the heroes only Rill, who dealt with the creatures from the Lower Planes rather often in the past, recognized the woman as Erinyes, one of Baatezu.

/ooc posting a little bit before Illit's post
Challenger watched Amy's reaction guessing she was less than happy with him.
"Amy your one of this party if you have an oppinion voice it, if you want to do something do it, don't appologies because you have an oppinion." He said softly.
"We're waiting to go into battle, theres not much point doing anything other than preparing......oh ****!" he'd caught sight of Illit added two and two together, promptly getting five.
He dove to the side freeing his bow with his right hand coming up with the bow drawn and one of his oil of impact arrows notched aimed right at Illits head.
"Who the hell are you." he demanded.

As soon as Challenger drawn his bow and aimed at newcomer, she disappeared, and reappeared sitting upon one of nearby rocks.
"Who the hell am I?" she said smiling "Ah, that sounds rather apporitate, isn't it?" she winked and then continued "Oh, and there is not need to draw your weapons, for I come to help, not to fight you. You can call me Illit, although that's not the name you can use for summoning, scrying or anything like that."

Challenger turns bring his bow back in line with Illit again.
"Better question what are you? And why are you here."

"Absolutely no manners" commented Illit.
She sighed, but in the next moment smiled mirthfully and continued "I wonder, where did all those gallant old-style heroes gone? Not that they had much more brains then nowdays' heroes, but at least then knew some manners. Is it apporitate to treat a nice girl like that: threating her with weapons and then demanding to answer your questions without even introducing yourselves first?"
