Team meeting

With the pink cast of dawn spreading over the city, you find your way back to the Inn. You slept well last night and feel ready for the challenge ahead.

On your arrival you are pleasantly surprised to see Evin already there and tucking into a large plate of breakfast.

"Morning Vander" he mumbles through a mouthful. "No sign of Melody or Darcy yet but I'm sure they won't be long." You order breakfast for yourself while you wait and make plans with Evin. "So... assuming we got the invitations..."

"Darcy always manages doesn't she? She'll have them." Every member of your team is effective, you reflect. That's why you keep working with them. "And in the worst case scenario we'll pursue a plan B."

"Riiiight, plan B." Evin's tone is frustrating at this time of the morning, but you resist showing it.

"Either way we need intel and supplies before tonight. I'm going to recommend we split up for intel and regroup to get supplies."

Your breakfast arrives a few minutes later, followed by Melody and shortly after, Darcy. They both seem to be in good spirits.

As the women order in their own food and drinks, Darcy explains the plan.

"An associate of mine, Terrian Galoran, will be attending the party tonight. We are to meet him at the Rizby Street taproom at 7:30pm. Terrian will then take us in as his friends. It's very important that we aren't discovered during the theft so he isn't compromised. Is that all clear so far?" The group nods. "Terrian tells me that the hidden library is likely on the fifth floor but he didn't know where. Dinner will be served at 8:00pm and Eltris will be giving a talk on his latest adventure at 9:00pm. Oh, and the dress code is 'formal', of course."

You find yourself smiling and put a hand on your friend's shoulder. "I'm impressed, you always deliver Darcy." You notice she seems to squirm at the praise. Odd. She's normally very composed. You decide not to press it and move on. "So, let's split up and get some intel. Who's going to this thing, what's on display, you know the drill. Back here at midday then out for supplies. Agreed?" They agree.

Time to get talking...
