Action by Valdemar
Valdemar will be leading Luis, Salvatore, Vanora, Rosalie and Harald into the caves surrounding the Lodge of Petrichor. They make up one of many teams of Mirrorguard and Explorers that will be making similar expeditions, coordinated by Princess Lou Grayson. By way of preparation, Valdemar will be ensuring that they are carrying ample mundane supplies: rope, torches, grappling hooks, chalk (if it is thematic, if not then some sort of white paint), food and water. In addition, he will see how much blessed water he can get his hands on. As they progress into the tunnels, the idea will be to keep in a rough formation of three ranks of two, with Valdemar and Luis leading the way, followed by Vanora and Rosalie, with Salvatore and Harald guarding our backs. Where the caves become too narrow for this, we will adjust.
Action by Vanora
Vanora will be there in case knowledge of the occult is necessary, there has been talk of magical traps and the like and she wants to do her part. She will be doing her best to avoid contact with anything dangerous, as she's blessed with the physical prowess of cooked pasta, and likely be keeping close to Harald and Valdemar. It's not expected that diplomacy will be useful in this particular engagement, but should whatever is in those tunnels want to talk, she'll be there to keep them open to persuasion.
Action by Rosalie
Rosalie will be accompanying the Mirrorguard group into the caverns. She is along to represent the Society of Explorers, and to offer her expertise in any number of intellectual matters! While certainly not a combatant, she can occasionally find a good place to hide and wait out fights, otherwise she tends to place herself behind a better fighter and tries to just stay out of the way. Mostly though, she's along to help decipher clues, riddles, puzzles, and traps!
Action by Luis
Luis will aid in the simple way that he can as a soldier and as someone familiar with the nuances of warfare. Should it require the simple wielding of a blade, then he shall do that and do it with gusto, though should it require something more of the capabilities of a leader, then he shall offer his charismatic services and knowledge of such things as well. It is possible that the team will require a large variety of skills and should additional fighting men and women be required, Luis shall offer a personal squad of soldiers to aid in the defense and efforts of reclaiming the Lodge.
Action by Salvatore
Salvatore will be on hand to offer his services as backup. Mostly he'll focus on guarding the backs of the others and doing what he can to not let them get surprised. He'll carry supplies and a big stick in the cave exploration.
Action by Harald(RIP)
Harald will join as part of the back row, spear in hand given the likelihood of limited fighting space. His primary purpose will be to guard the others, particularly the non-combatant types, though he will reserve the right to turn more offensive should the necessity arise.
Result
They managed to stop reinforcements from joining their compatriots in... the Isles? They came away with maps and write-ups on various places around the Isles, which is worrisome enough. Worse though, this was a strong, well-trained unit they killed. So who's already in the Isles? Are they all strong like this? It came at a price too - The Grim Duke gave his life in the battle, stabbed by an extremely lucky shot as the last man fell. Next will be a time of regrouping - but in the meantime, what exactly is going on in the Isles, and why are the Horned God's forces involved?
