Some of the pokemon army has finally returned to report to Kanatash. Most of them however are still out causing as much trouble as they can for the lords of dust. Most the the crew has gathered and the intel has been distributed. The plan is just now being finallized.

Terrek: ...and that should be it. That's the plan people. Now just pray to whatever gods you might believe in that it works.

Kanatash:  :lightbulb Actually, a brand new, even better plan has just occured to me...

Terrek: We're listening.

Kanatash: (in a french accent) We shall taunt them viscously! Then taunt them again if they come back!

Crew:  :uh-huh:

An undiscloed location

Ariajni: (reclining in a chair) I wonder what those silly pirates are up to, no doubt planning some pathetic attempt at revenge.

Kanatash: (floating out of the floor) Actually the planning stage has already been completed.

Ariajni: (not even bothering to stand) Hmph, not bad you're managed to enter my inner chambers. You do however realize that you are no match for me, do you not?

Kanatash: I am not here to battle, merely to congratulate you.

Ariajni: (raising an eyebrow) To congratulate me?

Kanatash: That's right a**-tard, to congratulate you on being the the first person in quite a while to completely **** off the entire crew of the forgotten freedom. The last guy who managed that go his *** wooped so completely that he was completely erased from the timestream.

Ariajni: Is that so? If he was completely erased from the time stream, how do you still know he existed?

Kanatash: (shrugs) I'm completely insane. Knowing things I could not possibly know come with the territory.

Ariajni: Indeed. Now, begone from my sight mad thing. (waves his hand and Kanatash is teleported to some random point in the multi-universe) Fool, you're coming has allowed me to steal from you very mind all of the "plans" you silly pirates have made. Your downfall will be that much more complete for it.

Back at the ship, Kanatash has just returned.

Terrek: Did it work?

Kanatash: Hook, line, and sinker. He entered my mind as soon as I arrived and stole those false plans we cooked up without even double checking to see if we were trying to trick him. Arrogant bastard.

Terra: I'm still surprised you restrained yourself when he entered you mind and didn't even try to screw with him.

Kanatash: Well if I broke him, mind you I'm not sure I could, it would have hurt the plan. Oh and who says I didn't screw with his head when he entered my mind. I was just more suble than usual. Trust me, even if we don't kill him he's still going to be scared for life from what I did.  :devil:

Later that night as Ariajni rests...

Very young Ariajni: Daddy, what are you doing...

---

Satnak - Hey Lisa don't forget that sword of yours is the bound soul of suthek I would bet gold to gravy that has a nasty side effect on Raksasha. Now where is that damned dragon of mine?

Fluffy - Meow

Satnak - Ah there you are where is it?

Fluffy - Meow

Satnak - Which one of you bastards got my ride drunk?

---

Terra: Say, has anyone considered asking the Ghaash'kala for help?

Lisa: Would they? I mean, we have a Daemon Lord, a Rakshasa, and a Daelkyr half-blood among our ranks, just to name a few.

Terra: True, but they may know what these bastards are up to. It's got to concern them as well. Enemy of my enemy is my friend kind of thing. Besides, you and they worship the same thing.

Lisa: In different ways. I really don't know how they'd react.

Terra: It's at least worth a shot.

Chalky - We could always use some snacks. :D

Lisa - What are you ... oh dear!

Giant Horrid Wolf - VRAKAR!!!

Chalky - Gotta love having a moonspeaker for a sister. :D

Geset - Chalky stop using my wolf to scare the Paladin, and would it kill you to write home once in a while? :mad:

Chalky - I knew there was a reason I left home. :(

Geset - Grandpa has been worried sick, he's chewed right through a whole worry log. Grandma is on the warpath, she threw a mounted paladin clear through his troopers just for saying you were a lousy pirate. Host help the poor sap who speaks ill of your murals.

Chalky - Serves him right I'm an excellent pirate. And I thought she hated my murals.

Geset - She hates it when you use the council caverns for murals, or steal the last of the paper, or take out of season fruits for your dyes, or tye-dye your cousin.

Chalky - He broke my paintbrush, it took me six hours to make that.

Geset - It wouldn't haven taken as long if you hadn't used MY fur.

Chalky - You were the only one around with fur that fine.

Geset - What about the rabbits.

Chalky - Who ever heard of a white paintbrush?

Geset - It would have matched your eyes.

Chalky - You want your wolf to wake up Yellow?

(All the pertinent crew are gathered in the war room [of course they’d have a war room, duh!] to go over the final plans.)

Terrek: Ok, given what intel I’ve received from Kanatash here’s what we’ve got. True to the crew’s typical form, they’re expecting a massive frontal assault at their main enterance – here (points to map), which is exactly what they got from Kanatash’s mind when he showed up there to relay the false info. Now, I want to really make it look like that’s what we’re doing so we’re going to send every non-uber caster down there with whatever army then can summon or create or whatever. This means all the zombies and skeletons in storage and basically anything else that’s expendable. Those of you that for one reason or another can’t create or summon an army will be down there with every illusion spell you can whip up making the army look even bigger than it actually is. I’ll also be sending in my small army of wraiths.

Terrek: (con’t) I also want a few of the Ubers down there laying waste to their hordes; specifically Sa’vor, Feal-Thas, Tara and Naz'roth with your respective armies. Be prepared to get your buts out of there at a moment’s notice; (stares right at Sa’vor) you’re all too important to die. And only engage the weaker foes, we’ll need you for the final battle with Ariajni if something goes wrong. If that happens, I’ll send you all a telepathic signal to ‘port in fight and him as best we can.

Down there, we’ll line up like it’s really a war we’re about to fight, but here’s where the real battle will be fought (points to map). Now, I want someone cloaking this section of the battle field from anything; scrying, divination crap, etc. h*ll, cloak if from plain sight if you can. That’s where their generals will be placed. We’re going in with a small strike team to take down as many of the more powerful ones as we can. Don’t forget to use those soul-trapping gems I gave you. They’re essential to making sure the Rakashasa don’t keep coming back to life. Now, I’ve already sent Tony the Tiger in to infiltrate their ranks and he’ll be back there as close to whoever’s running the battle as possible to strike against them when we make our move.

While the rest of you are either in battle or assassinating the generals, a small team of us are going to go after Ariajni himself. That’ll be Terra, Lisa, Jarlot, Satnak and I. He’s so d**n arrogant that he won’t even be present at the battle, just scrying on it; that’s what we need the cloak for. Lisa, you’re going to be in your element here. I want a full frontal attack from you; use that new insane smite I gave you on him. Terra, you’re ‘porting her in and backing her up. Blast the h*ll out of him with spells and use that vine. Satnak, I want you in there doing what you do best. Flank him in melee with Lisa if possible. While he’s disoriented from being attacked from three different directions at once and he figures out his generals are all dying, I’m going to ‘port in behind him and grapple. I’m going to drain him as much as I can and set you up (looks at Jarlot). Jarlot, you take that shot. That’s the finishing blow right there. It’s your only shot at revenge and we’re setting up this whole thing to give you that one shot. You make that shot and it will kill him. I’ve made this sword special for you. (Hands Jarlot Godbreaker) It’s only got enough for one blow, but that’ll be all you need if we do this right. Try not to hit me when you kill him though. After Jarlot’s made his hit, then I’ll devour his soul and Satnak you obliterate his body; this f**ker is going to stay dead.

A few more things: This is the big one. I expect a few casualties on our side but this is a battle worth fighting. If it all goes to s**t then we mass teleport everybody out and regroup. Sa’vor, I want you specifically to stay out of direct combat. When I make my move to grapple Ariajni so Jarlot can get his shot, I’m going to need all of my power and yours. Protect yourself out there. That goes for the rest of you as well. I don’t want to see anybody else killed. For the rest of you that haven’t been specifically assigned a part, figure out where you best fit in and get with whoever’s leading that particular section of the battle on the details. If you have any other questions, come see me.
