Elder Blood Witcher 193 The Planning Stage.

Quelaag steps forward and the Covenant quietens under her gaze, "We've been attacked, this much is obvious. However the manner in which we were attacked is highly suspicious! How did the enemy know of which areas were most vulnerable? How did they know of our hidden pa.s.sages? How did they know of our primary weapon, Pyromancy?" She lets the words linger until finally shouting, "We have a spy amongst us! Do not start searching now as we've already identified them, it's clear from their absence that they were never loyal in the first place and have committed the biggest sin of betraying your family!" She spits as her face twists into an angry scowl, the discovery of a spy threatens the very foundation of their covenant. Luckily the spy had escaped instead of staying undercover, the amount of mistrust that'd spread would be devastating to the tight-nit group.

Eingyi steps forward solemnly, "It pains me greatly to say that our previous companion Laurentius has betrayed us." The fifty Chaos Servants immediately start insulting the betrayers name, mother, father and strangely enough his hygiene...

Quelaag "You will all continue increasing your skill in Pyromancy, but we've decided that we must not be conceited in thinking that's all we need to beat off the invaders. Any of you that is proficient in weapons will be highly rewarded if you were to spread that knowledge, while you train we will be working to find the faction responsible and retaliating!" The crowd excitedly starts leaves as a few Chaos Servants take charge and start discussing different martial styles, leaving Reima and the others to discuss what had actually happened.

After everyone goes back to the caves, Reima sets out some new furniture to replace the old ones that were unfortunately destroyed in the battle. "So, Laurentius betrayed us huh?" he states, confused at this outcome.

Quelaag, "It was a surprise to find out but it's the only conclusion that'd explain the enemies prior knowledge and his current absence."

Reima can hear a small growl come from Priscilla, "He should die." she says with finality.

He nods, "I agree, though I feel partly responsible for bringing him here."

Solaire pats him on the shoulder, "Do not despair my friend, my brother machinations no doubt spread far and wide... What else would he be doing with that Dark Moon covenant of his."

Quelana raises her hand for a moment stopping any further discussion, "Hold on a moment, do you mean you're brother is responsible? Gwyndolin son of Gwyn?" Solaire and Reima nod at this.

Quelaag crosses her arms, "Well that answers one question, the other would be where his covenant's base of operations is located."

Reima grins at this while retrieving the Dark Moon Seance ring that he'd acquired in the Catacombs, "We know of his location, and we have the key to his quarters." he says sliding the ring to the middle of the table.

Rhea perks up, "Of course his holiness would already have all the answers." Dusk nods along with her.

Reima looks to Solaire and Priscilla, "We might as well nip this problem in the bud, have you decided whether not Priscilla is going to accompany us?"

He has a tired look on his face and is about to refuse when a pale hand grasps his shoulder, "Of course, we've already discussed my inclusion extensively." Priscilla says with a cheerful smile on her face.

Quelaag chimes in, "Will you require some Chaos Servants to a.s.sist you?"

With the amount of people attacking them today their number is at minimum around one hundred people, with that many people and the addition of Gwyndolin they'll most likely run into trouble...

Solaire "We've probably got a good amount of time before they can attack again... The artifacts they use to project phantoms are called Blue Eye Orbs, usually they take about a week to recover."

Quelana questions him further, "How do these Orbs function?"

Solaire "They are used to attack without risking death, each Orb can project one phantom that takes the form of the user, it is essentially a clone of that person and has the same capabilities and physical attributes. The person using the Orb is rendered immobile while controlling a phantom."

Quelana adds her owns thoughts, "So if we can attack as they're using the Orbs we'll have a huge advantage?"

Solaire nods, "That would be a devastating a.s.sault if timed correctly, no doubt they intend to send another wave of phantoms to attack us once the Orbs are fully charged. Though I have no idea when next they intend to attack."

Reima shrugs, "Why not just position a large group of Chaos Servants in Anor Londo while I stay here and wait for the attack? Once it begins I'll teleport to the away team and begin our own attack."

Quelaag nods contemplatively, "We'd barricade the entrances until Reima returns, thus protecting ourselves as our own a.s.sault gets into position... It's a fine plan albeit slightly risky."

Quelana "I think this is our best course of action. Once the ring leader is eliminated the rest will be easy to drive off."

Everyone agrees to the strategy and Eingyi runs off to start organising a team to be ready for the a.s.sault around a week later.

Reima rests his feet against the table while sipping some whisky, Solaire sits next to him nursing his own cup. "Ah, I got so caught up in all the trouble that I almost forgot..." He shows Solaire Gwyn's soul shard. "We're finally ready to fight Gwyn."

Solaire's eyes widen as he starts laughing, he clinks his cup to Reima's causing him to lose some whisky, "You're full of surprises aren't you my friend! They say every cloud has it's silver lining, this must be it!"

Reima nods, "Once we're done with Gwnydolin we'll start preparing... Until then, cheers!" he says as he takes another swig.
