Serene stood onboard the Thistle Oasis in its hangar bay, gazing at a holographic display that showed her intended destination . The Comet class star yacht descended smoothly through the planet’s frigid atmosphere towards the relatively comfortable pocket of green land surrounded by white tundra. She had waited until the weather of the planet had become ideally tumultuous. The storm forming over the biome was going to be to the Sith’s benefit and aid them in their assault.
Sitting in the temperate area was Castle Gaol, a fortress that had extensive control over the other subterranean prison complexes that ran throughout the planet of Belsavis. The Dark Side called to Serene and her own ambitions had led her to the frosty world time and time again. Historically the fortress had belonged to a former Sith Warden who had since gone silent. Chances were high that someone or something else occupied the castle and would make taking it difficult.
The Champion was joined by five of her Coven, each of which were closely paying attention. They had a few minutes to prepare before they made landfall and began their assault. Joining the sorceress troupe was @Ayomi Jakarta , a fellow champion who made a dynamic addition to the group.
"Vassandra, you will be in charge of controlling the storm. Cause as much interference with any perimeter sensors and defenses to cover our approach." The sorceress delegated specific tasks based on her subordinates' specialties. The Deucalian acolyte actually called this planet home if memory served. "Elandra and Lirael, aid Vassandra where it is needed. Once we are inside you may follow as the rear guard." They were still acolytes and had limits to their stamina as well as skill even when it came to their specialties. It would help to have some redundancies. The power of three witches combined exponentially increased their efficiency.
Isolde and Morywen were the two that would follow Serene and Ayomi in the vanguard. "The rest of us will approach during the storm. There are numerous security features that will make this a difficult task even once we are inside. Draw bridges, locked doors, turrets, droids and more. We will be descending through layers of hell so make no mistake, this will be difficult." This may even be the hardest thing they had done yet. But it was imperative if they were to control the planet once again in the name of the Sith.
"Once inside we will need to find the warden, or whomever possesses the access codes to the Castle's facilties. First is the receiving chamber. From there we will have options to go to the audience hall, training rooms, starship hangar or a set of turbo lifts that lead deeper into the prison system. Above the entrance are living quarters for staff and non-imprisoned residence. This is likely where a warden rests but we can't be sure of their exact location." They would be able to sniff them out once they got closer. "The control room is the opposite direction and is in the subterranean portion of the fortress. We will only go there once we have the access codes or if it turns out that is where the warden resides." If the warden was already in the control room it would definitely be an uphill battle.
With that information laid out before them Serene looked at her fellow Sith. They still lacked a great deal of information on the strength of the Castle's occupants. It was not enough for Serene to feel wholly confident. But her concerns sharpened her awareness and would keep her from growing complacent. "This is your last chance for preparations. Make certain you are ready."
