Noelle didn't have much preparation. She took an ample supply of poisons, potions, elixirs, and other portable mixtures as well as her magic blade and the repeating crossbow. Corrira likewise didn't have any thing else he needed to do either. His only weapon appeared to be a magic staff though he can summon a powerful sword if need be. They left with Sharee as soon as they were ready to move out. The trip through the town was uneventful though it did give Noelle a chance to see more of the city. If she wasn't here for piracy Mistral would be a nice place for her to do some research into her Alchemy. She made a note that she should at least pick up a few books while she's here, to occupy her freetime.

Eventually the group reached the bandit's cove. It was positioned in such a way that there was only one way to get a good look inside, which also meant that anyone inside could see you. Sharee had some ideas of how they could try to scout ahead, including her climbing to the rocky ceiling, taking to the waters, or forgoing scouting all together and just attacking. Noelle turned to Corrira if he had any means to infiltrate but he admitted that his skills befitted a war mage, not an infiltrator. So Noelle spoke up. "I could put an invisibility spell on all of us that should last for a minute." What they do after that, however, Noelle admitted that she didn't know. Fairly pointless to scout ahead if they ran strait into the bulk of the bandits. If she was more skilled in her Alteration she could have also put Water Walking on everyone, but alas, she cannot. "Perhaps I could try to move in close to cause some mayhem among the bandits. I can use my magic to sent one or more into a rage and have them fight among each other. When they're sufficiently weaken we could come in and finish them off."
