"Right." Laurelle agreed. "Let's not take too long." She dropped her voice to a whisper. "There are a lot of eyes in this city, and we don't know who's reporting to our target or not. If we move quickly we have a better chance to catch him off guard; it would be best to take a nonstandard approach. If they are expecting us, they'll have all the usual entrances guarded or warded." She took a drink. "That warehouse is pretty bunched up next to the nearby buildings, and I noticed that one adjacent to it looks abandonded and, I think, has roof access. I say we go through that building, then cross to the roof of the warehouse, and come on them from above. I'm the sneak here, so follow my lead. You'll both want to stay on the roof. Close enough so that when I find our man, you can follow his translocation. He might try to fight when he has the home turf advantage, and the appearance of two more foes could surprise him."
Skye nodded. "How can we help from up there, though? Hell, I don't want to just sit on my ass while you infiltrate the place." She asked.
"You two are pretty loud, so your spellcasting would just alert the whole building. If, it was cast while you were on the roof or otherwise close." Laurelle said. "This is a pretty good sized city, so we're hearing the sound all the time. If it's distant enough, they'll ignore it even if it's loud. One of you, at least, can cast a persisting divination before we get there to let you keep track of the people in there. After that, telepathic communication at close range is extremely quiet even for mages with strong Connection. You can concentrate on maintaining the spell and keep me informed while I do the heavy lifting, so to speak. That's only one of you, though." She looked to Skye. "I have another idea for you. It's possible I'll have quite a few guards to deal with when I find our guy. And I want them to be disorganized. When I give the signal, I want you to cast the loudest spell you can think of without too much collateral damage and then burst the roof and come to my location. They'll be in disarray and we can take advantage of that."
"Helluva plan." Skye noted.
