Sean raises a hand. "We do not divide the party as we prepare to encounter a
dragon. We can all fly or be towed in, I think. Holly and Carandolana can fly
inherently. Xander can cast three fly spells and three levitation spells. For
the front line fighters, that is Hagar, Johnny Mac, Ahearn, me, and two more
non fighters, Elmore and Xander. That leaves Agatha and Estra. Who can be
reduced, or who can wait here. Unless someone else is willing to be reduced or
wait here. Brother, we need you there, with your speed. I know there is
nothing I can say to make you decide to come along, but, please, come along in
this manner."
Sean pauses. "Otherwise, I bring Agatha instead of you, you run like the wind
along the trail, and hopefully get there. And Estra stays out. Unless someone
else wishes to stay out. This is WHY Xander memorized these spells, to fly
over the unnatural area and get us to the dragon's lair quickly. With luck,
the ensorcelled flora and fauna will be freed when Ezanus sloughs off this
mortal coil."
Sean looks around. "That is my suggestion. I prefer the first. I'll accept
the second. And I will, of course, accept the majority's will in this matter.
But I have presented what I think gives us the best shot of getting there."
In the event that he isn't shouted down or dismissed, Sean will eventually add
the following: If we get there, and Ezanus is out, it is my intention to wait
in ambush. He will likely suspect us, and will likely cleanse the lair with a
blast of fresh chlorine, so waiting is risky, and only those able to take the
punch should stay. All others should leave. But, that is just a suggestion."

keep a steady but normal pace. If he's flying, then I will go as quickly as I
can keeping an eye as I move for snares and tripwires.From:

Subject: [stoddard] Re: Moving forward? Holly would think that the altar area
would be the easiest. That is along the trail Sean originally found. However,
it is only about 2/3s of the way to the entrance. You could also land at the
more southern entrance. The third option would be to land where the NW entrance
seems to be. That area is where the trees tried to attack her even though she
was invisible.

Hurrumph
Holly, I would love for you to recon the path forward, even find a good landing
spot . Maybe Card can fly like a bird and keep an eye on things between your
destination and us. Lets get a god read on the path forward and place to fly
to before trudging into the enemy blindly sortof. So please stop and wait
for Holly an Card intel. If we get pressed by plants then we react to them
accordingly.

Subject: [stoddard] Moving forward? So, is Ahearn taking the group forward up
the trail? Holly Sean, Agatha, or Estra can point it out without a problem.
Other actions?
