Grimothy is on the scene near Prudence Cathedral
He knows that Lung's invaders will be attacking the Cathedral soon and has to decide on his first course of action, he doesn't know how much time he has.

Feel free to pick multiple options but only one will occur at a time
A) Review and Rally Grimothy's Team
B) Scout the enemy forces and attack plan
C) introduce himself to Cathedral security for defense info
D) Set up and fortify team in ideal locations

B is real important. We'll need to know what the enemy is planning so when we do D, we'll know where to place our team

So B, then D

B

B, if you can get a count of how many enemies they are, the number of ranged to melee, and where they're positioned, you'll be in a much better position to deploy your team effectively.

We should review and rally our team, then pick up defense info from security.

C

B

Grimothy scouts the enemy forces to determine their attack plan

he finds them, Lord Lung seems to be conversing with his mightiest warriors

Bandit: "...B-but master even if she did escape we did deal a serious blow to her pride!"

Lung: "BAH HALF-MEASURES ARE FOR HALF-WITS, EVEN SO YOU'RE A FOOL TO USE SKALDA'S TRIUMPHS TO MASK YOUR FAILURES

Bandit: "AH!? forgive me master! forgive me Skalda!"

Skalda: "quiet worm! My Lord! what is our next task?"

Lung: "WE'VE LOST THE QUEEN . . . FOR NOW. WE SHALL SMOKE THE MONARCH OUT BY TEARING DOWN HER PILLARS OF OPPRESSION"

Raschid: "yesss YEESSS! the dark one desires this, first we shall tear down this false temple and those who would call this home."

Lung: "YES, THIS IS GOOD, DESTROY ALL IN YOUR PATH MY SOLDIERS, BUT SAVE THE HIGH PRIESTESS FOR ME.

it seems Lord Lung plans for frontal assault on the main gates.
at their slow pace Grimothy thinks he has 100 minutes to prepare.

That's enough time to get lunch, I think. Let's go look at those cathedral defenses and get some tasty bread to nibble.

Let's return to our original options and introduce yourself to the cathedral security to get that defense info.

Agreed, go see the cathedral security, and get security info.

Also, we just learned some important information, Lord Lung is going after the high priestess. We gotta let security know to tell her to evacuate out of the cathedral to somewhere safer before Lung and his army arrives (hopefully she has an escape route) or if thats not possible, we'll need to hide her.

Grimothy arrives back at the cathedral and meets back with High Priestess Corrathyn Nydelle

Grimothy: "You're divine excellence, I need speak with you head of security"

Corrathyn: "oh, yes of course Corporal... however my chief of security was lost in the initial bombardments..."

A devotee steps forward
Donarah: "I am sister Donarah, Acting head of security."

Grimothy: "Very well then I'll get the information from you, I need layout map of defenses and secure points"

Donarah: "I'm sure you do, however how can we trust a mere corporal, and a few of the queens failures?"

Grimothy has 90 minutes left to prepare.

Your predecessor and former boss would have known that position is more important than rank, acting chief. We are in the position of fending off the invaders as best we can.
We can always perform our own assessment of the defenses on foot.

You shouldn't. Expect that our opposition to Lung's forces won't be enough, and have a plan for if that comes to be. You would be foolish not to plan for failure where success cannot be guaranteed.

At the very least however, the enemy forces will be slowed by our retaliation, and the stronger a defense we put up the more time is allotted for you and others to fortify stronger points. The difference between having the information you can provide and not, even in the worst case scenario, could be the difference of a few extra soldiers taken down, a few minutes of preparation time, and a potentially higher number of our rank getting away, keeping them available to defend another point. If we're lucky, it could even be the difference between the cathedral standing in the end or not.

Tell her that even though that the Queen's ex-royal guards may have failed their mission to protect the Queen's dignity, they still managed to prevent Lord Lung from actually kidnapping the Queen, failing his mission as well. You can confirm that after you did some spying over Lord Lung overheard his complaints over his armies' failure to capture the Queen 10 minutes ago.

And not only that, they succeeded in taking down all of Lord Lung's soldiers after the incident, even the powerfule Falune.

With those in mind, you're sure that if your commandos can be better prepared this time if we're allowed access to the layout map of defenses and secure points, the crew will be able to succeed in comparison to when previously, they were caught off guard by the invasion.

Grimothy: "Your predecessor and former boss would have known that position is more important than rank, acting chief. We are in the position of fending off the invaders as best we can.

he states plainly, Sister Donarah narrows her eyes, before handing Grimothy the defense layout.

Grimothy examines the floor plan noting some key areas of importance:
1)-Main Gate
2)-Side Gate
3)-Summoning Tower
4)-Chapel
5)-Hall of Relics
6)-Healing Chamber
7)-Divining Pools
8)-Catacombs

Grimothy has 86 minutes left to prepare
he can looking into any of these locations further or move on to other tasks

Summoning tower. See if any shooters can shoot enemies from up there safely, and to where. Also, we gotta see if its possible to summon a spirit or monster to help us.

Look into the main gate. Will it keep out the unwashed masses? Or let them in with open arms and armor?

Grimothy checks in with newly demoted private Snowpea at the summoning tower.
magical structures aren't unheard of, and the commando is determined to use every asset at his disposal

Grimothy: "So, Can we use this?"

Snowpea: "As a defensive tower yes, though any magical hopes are a lost cause, the name is only a reference to calling people with the large bell"

Grimothy: "Hmf, was worth a shot"

Grimothy checks in with his second in command, Konda Amoni.

Grimothy: "Can we rely on the front gate?"

Konda: "it's about as sturdy as the walls, it also contains gaps the weapons could shoot through, might make a defensive strong point"

Grimothy "yeah maybe..."

Grimothy has 73 minutes left to prepare

Interesting. What about the divining pools and catacombs? Are those just as literal?

>>1059143

Agreed, I'd like to check on those as well. It'll improve our ability to strategize.

see if there are any good hiding places in the catacombs for Corrathyn, or any hidden escape routes. We know our enemies will be looking to capture her
