Elesh Norn is beyond my reach at the time, in terms of both physical presence and power, but believe me when I say that her monstrous rule shall be ended by my sword.
“Well, we had a setup to get us into the Furnace Layer directly, but that artifact’s gone. We’d need a new beacon. The Red Sun works, if you can give us a time when it’s directly overhead a safe location. Pretty much anywhere on the surface is fair game. Finding a beacon two layers down would be… a lot harder. Unless you guys know where Koth is. He could do it no sweat.”
“Nowhere on the surface is safe. Well, unless a few places like the settlement in the Tangle, but even those places are risky. Your best bet would be one of the tunnels that intersect with the Red Lacuna, in the Oxidda Chain. The Lacuna itself is heavily patrolled, but if you manage to sneak in, you could enter one of the side tunnels and one of ours could guide you to our camp on the Furnace Layer from there. As for Koth… well, he’s been missing for a while. We haven’t lost hope yet, but we’re no longer searching for him.”
“Uh huh… Uh huh…” Krenko takes notes. “What I need is someone stealthy, capable… Able to send up a beacon of red mana… Hmm… Ooh, if Koth can’t be found, I wonder if I can get Chandra to scout. Or maybe that Rade kid.”
“Chandra? She’s nothing but trouble.” Jor stopped, thinking carefully about the issue. “I could be able to do it myself. I’m not sure how to project the beacon, but I could make a pretty large fire. Besides, you won’t find anyone willing to take that risk other than me.”
