Meesei nodded and thanked Ariel for the assistance before returning to her enchantments. She still had quite a few to make, and needed to make sure they were all identical to the first. Outside, Lorag continued to preside over the duel, offering advice, as well as snide sarcastic remarks, whenever needed.

The pack continued preparations and planning for most of the day, trying to eliminate any problems they could foresee in their plan. Ariel and Sabine had successfully turned the magic reflection potion into a vapor form that could be contained in a vial, which Meesei now wore around her neck. Meesei had managed to enchant a necklace for Ahnasha, and weapons for everyone else apart from Ariel. The sun was still in the sky, but by the time they equipped themselves and made the walk to the keep, it would be well after dark. Each of them were standing by the smouldering ashes of their fire equipping themselves to leave. Meesei and Ahnasha wore only their very basic clothing and equipment, taking nothing they were not prepared to lose.The only exception was Meesei's ring, which could remain with her through her transformations. Ahnasha had a few of Ariel's potions, while Meesei carried only a single magicka potion that she planned to drink just before turning the first time. Everyone else who would be fighting in Meesei's group was using equipment taken from the hunters, as it was essentially guaranteed that they would be losing everything they carried with them. 

"I do not believe there is any more preparation remaining. Unless anyone has any other concerns, we should depart." Meesei said to the others.
