Coradel gives Hume an approving smile and a nod.

Bachdion smiles "Excellent because it is a mystery to most of us."

"I certainly could not manage it," Coradel admits easily. Another sip.

"Oh! Bachdion, perhaps Shalimar could help with the Chicanery?"

"He was who I was considering."

"Oh dear. Shalimar and mine sister are.... a force in that field, aye."

She looks pleased. "I'm once again grateful that we have so many skilled members of this barony."

"So...for the extraction. Who will spirit the little one away?"

"I am happy to do so, but I admit I may not be the most...stealthy."

Bachdion ponders "Well, flickerflash is within my power but actually sneaking..." He looks at zara

She shakes her head. "I am too scary to coax. Let Vashti be the pied piper, and Shalimar the weaver of memories."

Rosco nods "Pardon, but if the child is not responsive ...how can anyone lure her?"

"I agree with Rosco. It will not be so much a matter of luring as lifting and carrying."

"I believe the stablehands can lead us to where there's an unofficial entry to the property."

"Still not a strong point for Miss Zara mind. She's no weight lifter," Rosco adds.

"So score one for flickerflash, nu?"

Bachdion smiles at that.

"Possibly I could help," Oswald says "I can veil at least. ANd I can lift. Then get her over to Sir Bachdion"

"More to get her here. Sir Bachdion's task will be more to impact the memories of the camp staff...I think? Or have we tangled multiple plans?"

"Well, Sir Bachdion will have someone such as Shallimar and Vashti do that yes," Bachdion chuckles "But I can flicker flash while those two pooka do the heavy chicanery."

"Ah, right. So only me tangled, then." Coradel smiles easily.

"Oswald, I agree that you are the one for the task. Do we still need Eugenia to play body double if we're doing a pure abduction, not a return?"

"I think we do," Almandine says "The longer we can post pone the discovery of her absence, the more confusion we can sow and more distance we can create."

A nod. "Then Eugenia will need to go in with Oswald."

"And we make sure these scammers end up in trouble."

Eugenia bounces nearby, and says "We can do it, like Rosie the Riveter."

THe plan is forming up. And Almandine speaks up "I think we're actually as planned as we're likely to get, Baroness, Miss Zara, are we missing anything?"

"I believe we are ready." She also looks to Zara.

"We shall work on the bunk?"

"My favorite part, astrological aspects, Shakespeare references, and string," The Seer says.

"Then...tomorrow night. Childlings should get to sleep early. You will be up late tomorrow night."

(Rolls when you are ready, Cha Plus Leadership for Coradel)

(Int plus Graymere or lore for Zara)

((Remember these are guesses, but I think that combo would be 10 dice for Coradel?))

The next night, all goes into motion.... distractions of the camp counselors, organization of the plan among the kithain, sneaking and spying, isolating the young girl, and replacing her with a replacement.

Zara has been working - she wasn't kidding about chalk. The stone floor of the chamber has been meticulously filled with an intricate seal.

Coradel stops in at the seer's chamber to briefly satisfy her Eiluned-trained curiosity, but she tries not to interrupt and does not stay long.

Rings, arcs, stars, but especially words, though they seem to be a bespoke mix of Hebrew and... something else?

Rosco is called in to help - building wards against Balor, Leanhaun, and the Shadow Court.

The girl's name is Dawn Chloe Shipp... and that name is loaded with meanings if you want.

The coincidence does not escape Coradel.

Rosco forges his his wards and more with expertise and skill.

Almandine invokes minor fair fortune on the working, nothing greedy.

Earl wanted to help, so he does, as a fetch for any dross or materials needed.

Zara did not want much of an audience, so those not aiding aren't normally allowed in.
