| "Yeah, here..." - he pulls out the communicators from his coat and hands one to her - "Haven't been able to test the range yet, but it's what the Coins are using to keep in contact. So i'm guessing it's pretty decent."
Then he opens one of the Bags of Holding and pulls out a big piece of green fabric. - "The guys we're fighting... they've no idea. We want to limit the bloodshed wherever possible, so we're planning to hoist the King's colors as soon as we've taken over the Palace, get the Duchess' troops in the city to stand down. We got three of these, i'm giving one to you in case you get the opportunity."
He hands it to her, thinks for a second and then adds - "You and your men's lives come first, though." |

| Kaja takes the communicator first, examining from different angles before she puts it in a pocket. Then she takes the black flag, briefly unfolds it to take a look at the Tiburs' heraldry emblazoned on it—an ornamented golden wheel surrounded by four horses—before she places it on the table.
"I'll brief the others at sunrise," she says. "What about you, though? You're going to kidnap the Vigilate's big shot, but you're not worried about the curfew?"
Segel looks at the adventurers and waits expectantly for the answer. He clearly has been wondering the same. |

| Konrad smiles. "Not at all! We've got everything figured out, Kaja. We're gonna be fine." |

| "We'll use an ability we learned, it'll help us evade detection. Can't overuse it, but we've been saving it up for tonight. You'll see it first hand if we secure Elt's... uh, the Serpent's help." |

| Kaja raises an eyebrow and smile. "It wouldn't be anything like Nadzieja, right?" |

| Steve shares a look with his friends before saying, "That depends. What has she told you?" |

| She shrugs. "Not much. I only caught her using that ability once, and she made me swear never to tell anyone."
Segel listens with wide eyes, perplexed by this revelation. |

| Konrad twitches when Kaja mentions Nadia.
"You 'caught her'? When was this?" |

| "No, that is all. The two of you may go." After all is explained to Kaja, and Segel by proxy, Konrad ignores them, having granted dismissal for his First Mate's sake. |

| "Sorry, Captain, but there's something else." Before Kaja can leave, the fairy comes forward, his inquisitive demeanor now replaced by his usual diligence. "We've received a few crates this morning: chloroform and magnesium sulfate. We've put them in the cargo hold for you. Apparently, you were the ones who bought them...?" |

| Konrad looks at each of his companions, and back to Segel. "Yes. Set those aside for us, and make sure nobody gets into them." |

| "Perfect." He turns to the Tyke observer. "Femke, can you tell us how to get to Evander's office? Or are we going to have to wing it?" |

| "I can tell you in which part of the fort you're most likely to find his office," Femke says, "but not the exact location. Also, there are too many guards for you to remain undetected. We haven't been able to."
Kaja raises an eyebrow at the word "we", but remains silent. |

| Femke tilts her head.
"There shouldn't be anyone else inside the commander's office besides Evander himself. Wouldn't that meet your criteria?" |

| Mihai deflates - "Assuming we can reach it without being disturbed by the local fauna on the other side, yeah." |

| Femke continues to stare at Mihai. "I don't understand."
"I don't understand either," Kaja adds. "Should we go? It's fun to see you beat around the bush, but I think you might prefer to tell her straight." |

| "Yes, have a good rest, Kaja." In all the commotion and planning and keeping secrets, explaining further revelations to Segel and Femke about the Shriekers must have gone by the wayside. Kaja will have to be informed before she leaves tomorrow... |

| The Myrzen woman and the fairy nod at the adventurers and leave through the door. Femke waits for the explanation. |
