Chapter 31: A Simple Solution

“Teleportation is anything but simple,” Ashif said. “We have to get a few pounds of crystallium and a monster core before we could even start. Once we have that, then we need to find where the divine spell form is, not just the part of the city, its exact location and elevation. And the chamber is guaranteed to be warded against teleportation, so we would have to find somewhere to appear that wouldn’t alert the Wardens.”

“Sure, sure. But we could do it, right? All of those challenges are surmountable, right?” Matteo said, as he leaned forward.

“... Maybe. I mean, even with a runic genius like myself, it would be a huge risk. If I get it wrong, a quick death is the best-case scenario. There is a reason Carcassonne built an entire teleportation building. It takes a team of operators to reduce that risk,” he hedged.

Matteo slapped his knee, “Alright then. That’s the plan. We get the ingredients and you take all the time you need to get the danger down to manageable levels. I trust all of you, so we will be doing the planning together. Let’s break this down. First on the list is crystallium. The mayor of the antelope is planning on dumping a few tons this afternoon. It shouldn’t be too hard to acquire some.”

“I already know where they have it stored. I can take that on,” Chiara said.

Matteo pointed at her. “Excellent. Don’t forget that bribery is an option. They probably won’t care about a few pounds of crystallium going missing since they are pissed at the capital right now.”

“Make it twenty pounds. The extra energy will give us a buffer,” Ashif said. Chiara nodded.

“Next step is a monster core. I’ll take that on. I doubt there will be one here, but the town atop the rhinoceros kaiju looks big enough that they might. If not, I can go hunt one. Shouldn’t be too hard since I have time to plan.”

“I will take on the task of identifying the location of the spell form,” Medjay said. “I believe I have an effective information gathering method. I can engineer a situation where I copy someone without their knowledge. Then we interrogate the duplicate. They have all the same knowledge as the original, without their inhibitions.”

“Ooh, I like that plan. We can find someone high up in the army or Wardens and learn everything about their security from their duplicate. We wouldn’t even have to torture them. It seems like bribes of cake might work,” Matteo said.

“I can guarantee you that my duplicate can be bribed with cake,” Ilaria said.

Everyone laughed and Matteo said, “Ilaria, can I bribe you with cake to work with Ashif? We need a stable spot that he can carve runes into.”

She nodded, and they split up to handle their different tasks. Matteo was excited to start looking for a monster core. He had a few ideas on how to use stored rune words to quickly take out a tier two monster.
