When they reach the outer edge of the patrol routes, Impa slides to a halt and lies flat against the ground. Looking back up at the fort, she watches as the sentry peers over the wall where they had been standing and holds aloft an orb that gives off a pale blueish white light, akin to that of a full moon. He scrutinizes the area carefully and calls out to a patrol as it passes. Everyone holds their breath as the patrol investigates the base of the wall for a while before exchanging a few more words with the sentry. Then they all return to their posts, nothing seeming a miss.
Everyone lets out their breath and Impa leads them carefully back out of the Twilight. Returning to the world of light they are nearly blinded by the mid-morning sun, but its warmth is very welcome after the strange chill of Twilight. Impa and her team meet up with the other scouts and discuss their findings.
The Twilight covers a very large area in an almost perfect square. It does not deviate and according to the scouts the barrier is of uniform color and texture the whole way round. Other than that, there is a slight dead zone projecting a few feet out from the barrier, but no other abnormalities besides that. As for what was gathered from inside the Twilight, its clear that the people who set up the base did a professional job. Removal of obstructions all the way to the barrier, timely patrols and alert sentries stationed around the outside, and from Sotrea’s observations, there is likely a sizeable garrison inside. As for infiltration routes, there’s scaling the wall at the point Sotrea found, although if there’s vines in one spot, there are likely more, and there is also the guarded and likely barred front door. Not too many options there, but better than none. As the planning is done many ideas are shot down, discussed, and expanded upon. In the end though a few plans are laid out.
>Go in quiet and try to avoid any fighting until the teleportation blocker is found and destroyed.>Create a diversion and draw off as much of the garrison as possible allowing an infiltration of the fort with a hopefully reduced garrison.>Go for a surprise assault, kick down the front door and use the shock of your entry to destroy your target before a response can be rallied.
