That long? All right, figure something out! [k] @Goredolf What about you, Administrative Advisor!?[sr]How much time have we lost!? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Holmes We spent twenty minutes fighting the fire calamity... [k] @Holmes And it will take thirty more to get the Storm Border in fighting shape again. [k] ?1:We only have ten minutes until Cernunnos appears... ?2:Considering we're only an hour and ten minutes from the curse showing up... ?! @Holmes Indeed. We won't make it for Cernunnos's emergence, but we'll still have forty minutes until the final catastrophe. [k] @Holmes More importantly, we have a solid chance of defeating him now. [k] [charaFace C 4] @Holmes The issue is the other calamity, Barghest. [k] @Holmes She and her black dogs have burned Oxford to the ground, and will soon arrive in Norwich. [k] @Holmes We simply cannot go after both her and Cernunnos in the Storm Border. If we're going to defeat her, it will have to be with a separate unit. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Grímr the Sage We could always just leave her. We've got much bigger fish to fry right now. [k] @Grímr the Sage The pit's calamity will destroy the whole world if we don't stop it, but all the black dogs do is burn down cities. [k] @Grímr the Sage The world won't be in any danger if we leave them alone. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Holmes ...I'm inclined to agree, Grímr. [k] @Holmes Once Barghest leaves Norwich behind and sets out on the ocean, she'll become a calamity for Proper Human History as well.

[k] @Holmes And the threat she poses can be dealt with later. We can't and shouldn't prioritize her now.

I'd like to request that a separate unit be sent out to handle her anyway! [k] @Mash I understand she's not our top priority. I agree that we should focus all of our resources on Cernunnos right now. [k] @Mash But, even so...[sr]Even so, I'm asking you to let me go after her! [k] @Mash I can't just sit by and let Barghest become an enemy of Proper Human History! [k] [charaFace E 4] @Mash Besides... Norwich is both her and Boggart's hometown. [k] @Mash Letting her destroy her own home would be...tragic...

[charaFace A 10] @Goredolf ...What do you think, [%1]? [k] @Goredolf Mash Kyrielight is your personal Servant. If you believe she can do this, I'll support your decision. [k] @Goredolf We don't know exactly what kind of calamity Barghest has become, but we do know it'll be one hell of a fight. [k] @Goredolf With that in mind, are you sure you want to do this? [k] ?1:I am. ?!

Holmes, put together a plan of attack! I don't care how reckless it is! [k] @Goredolf Just make sure it doesn't exceed the time we have until the Storm Border leaves for the pit. [k] [charaFace A 15] @Goredolf Also, I'll need Altria Caster to stay here on the Border! [k] @Goredolf If you two don't make it back in time, she's our best shot against Cernunnos. [k] @Goredolf ...No, on second thought, we'll need Altria Caster, Grímr, and the Storm Border. [k] @Goredolf As long as we have all three,[sr]we should be able to take out Cernunnos. [k] @Goredolf So if you two can't make it back before it's time to go, I won't hesitate to leave you behind. Got it? [k] [charaFace A 6] @Goredolf So if you determine you can't complete this mission, you just come right back here! And keep an eye on the clock either way! [k] @Goredolf This is the one time I will NOT tolerate disobedience! Get back late, and you can expect a week in solitary! [k] ?1:...Yes, sir! ?! [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Holmes ...Good grief. This is going to be quite the complicated operation. [k] @Holmes Fortunately, I've always preferred complex cases over simple ones, and I fully respect your decision. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Holmes In fact, I suspected something like this might happen, so I ensured the Shadow Border was prepared while you were down in the spirit cavern. [k] @Holmes All you need now is a driver. Hmm, let's see...

The calamity at Norwich will be handled by two of our most seasoned members: [k] @Holmes [&Mr.:Ms.] [%1],[sr]and Mash Kyrielight. [k] @Holmes You'll have thirty minutes to complete the operation.[sr]I can't give you any more than that. [k] @Holmes We'll catapult the Shadow Border toward the outskirts of Norwich. [k] @Holmes Once you've defeated Barghest, you're to return to the rendezvous point in the Shadow Border. [k] @Holmes From there, the Storm Border will retrieve the Shadow Border, crew and all, and head for the pit. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Holmes Any objections, Da Vinci?
