Not much time had passed before a strike squad of eight Night Elven sentinels had gathered in Sharon's atrium, including Rithrynn and Vashi, with Serphia in charge.

They were wearing simpler black and purple silk loincloths, cloaks, chestguards, shoulderpads, greaves and vambraces, in favor of the heavier winter robes that they had arrived with. All of the elves were armed with their own bow and quiver, alongside a selection of melee weapons of their choice and ropes and hooks for the expected climb.

But despite the fact that the sisters had formed a near perfect line in which they stood before the Captain, Serphia noticed that a lot of the faces of her warriors were dull, unfocused or just looking sloven.

"You all look terrible!" Were the first words to escape Serphia's mouth as she scanned her warriors, all of whom looked fairly wasted from the partying with the few exceptions of Vashi and Rithrynn. Deciding that assaulting Honor's Watch with a strike squad afflicted with severe hangovers would be a bad idea, Serphia turned her attention to Vashi.

"Vashi, do you have any of those Sparkleaf potions of yours left?" 

"Uh, yes, mistress! I do!" Vashi quickly responded, looking excited at being addressed by her Captain! Of the strike squad, none displayed a more energetic impulse than Vashi as the Night Elven magi scrounged through her satchel hanging from her torso to produce a couple of faintly green potions. Uncorking one of them, it released a stringent aroma that immediately pierced the nostrils of anyone in the magi's proximity. 

"Sisters, you have ten minutes to unfuck yourselves. Then we leave." Serphia commanded as she followed the distribution of Vashi's hangover cure, before her attention fell on Rithrynn.
"Syn'dial, come with me for the moment."

"Of course mistress, what for?" Rithrynn was quick to ask as she ran to follow up with her Captain whom had turned to begin walking up the stairs.

"I need that High Elf of yours... "

"He was not in his office... "

"No no, then he is probably in his bedroom, which is just over here... somewhere." Rithrynn explained to Serphia as she lead her Captain through the maze of corridors that constituted the upper levels of Sharon's estate. Arriving outside of Sharon's bedroom, the two elves could hear a fair murmur emanating from within.

"High Elf!" Serphia called out with an intimidating tone as she walked forward to grab the door knob, but upon attempting to open it; it seemed like there was something blocking it on the other side.

"Maybe it's locked?" Rithrynn commented, looking up at her Captain; who was currently giving the door a very dark stare.
"Maybe you should... "

***BRACK***

Without any warning, Serphia had raised her foot to kick in the door with the face of her boot! Liaena, who had been blocking the door for Sharon on the other end, suddenly found herself shoved aside by the opening door, before being promptly squeezed right into the wall behind it!
The violent entry was also enough to wake up Naliyah, who scrambled around in her bed with a snort of surprise, before tumbling off and landing on the floor with her butt!

"Oh, Elune... eh, m-mistress?" Naliyah muttered, still trying to gather herself as she stared at Serphia as the Captain marched into the room.
"I didn't know, oh, and HI RITHY!"

Rithrynn, upon seeing Naliyah, subtly took a step behind Serphia, as if to hide herself behind her Captain. Serphia, who's eyes had been on Sharon all the time, gazed down at the High Elf while resting her hands on her hips.

"It is time to go, High Elf. The mission is starting!" Serphia would brief him, before throwing a slight look around the room.
"And... where is that human midget associate of yours?"
