Black Pearl Black Pearl has gotten dressed up. At least in a manner of speaking. The dark red scales flow down her forearms and hands, as well as calves and feet, to make very nice gloves and shoes. A belt of knives around her waist, hanging above her hips, while she carries a sharkskin slink and a simple spear. Her hair the brilliant orange-gold of the setting sun in the clouds, and her eyes fading from dark red at the outer iris to gold at the inner. Even in this guise, still using her appearance and body as a weapon more than the weapons itself. Tattoos glimmer on her torso--back and front both--not just to show allegience, but to..accentuate her features and draw eyes nicely. Other than that, she just has the black jade collar and pendant with a dull stone set into it,
Silk Moon Lotus Silk has applied another disguise to herself. She has assumed the guise of a mutant. She has given herself burnt orange scales covering her arms and legs as well as verious parts of her torso and head. She has a set of visous looking fangs in her mouth how. Her eyes are an unnatural red, almost ruby in color from Iris to pupil. She has fins on her arms and webbing between her fingers and toes. Her sharkskin belt has several pouches on it. She carries a staff made. The tattooing is done on her to show alliegence to the tribe.
Amethyst It's quite a swim to go from Elderloch to Leviathan, the place where these Raksha have been gathering. But with some directions it is not particularly hard to find it, especially as it in and of itself is luminescent, standing out against the twilight of the sea around them.

The citadel is the main operations for the enemies of Elderloch, bearing banners very similar to what we have seen before. It is made from vibrant red coral and sandstone, illuminated by an eerie sourceless glow. It almost resembles a mighty predator of some variety, something even larger than a siaka. The place definitely looks eerie and threatening.

Outside are many ravagers being trained by various shelled beasts, drilled and commanded and taught. For a moment drilling is halted, all at once a series of luminescent bolts are flung at the army. Some duck and try to avoid, but most simply stay strong. And it seems these bolts only affect those who cower, striking them down, whittling down the ones who fear to only those who do not. The injured are gathered and lead away, while the rest continue drilling.

Welcome to Leviathan.

Silk Moon Lotus Silk glides in with sure strokes towards the fortress looking for an entrance that would make sense for a ravager to use. As they are not members of the army yet, she does not approach them while not shying away from them.
Black Pearl Black Pearl slides through the water as though born to it. Which, well, she is. She watches, curious, and follow's Silk's lead. A commonly used entrance by the common people, and acting like they belong there is the surest way to infiltrate this way.
Amethyst Wandering the halls, blending in, socializing and acting as though they belong has come very far. One thing learned very quickly is that this is a culture of strength, will, and determination. They all have a certain ferocity in mannerism, as sure as themselves as they can be even when they don't entirely know how to answer the questions asked.

And fortunately, it does not take long to find your way to /the/ hall, wherefood and meetings and announcements happen. A few officers are lazing around, three of which look quite familiar to Silk, one of which still has the arrow sticking out of their shell. But there's others here too, resembling various shelled creatures.

There's also a massive self serve food bar at one side, a stage at the other, and various rubies inset in the ceilings and tables.

Silk Moon Lotus Silk gestures casually to the ones she recognizes "Those are the ones that survived the raid." She moves over to the food bar to grab food them head over to the stage to watch whatever is happening there.
She makes a note of the rubies and there positions throughout the room. Looking for one or more that could go "missing" without notice.
Black Pearl Black Pearl looks at the rubies, but also the very beautiful mutant over by the Raksha, and smiles. "We can eat, or...we could look for more...personal information about the officers," she whispers softly.
Amethyst On stage is a handful of fae setting things up, tending to the giant banners that hang behind it, cleaning the podium, and tending to the stage. Every so often a squad of ravagers will come with a few Raksha officers in tow. And those who finish eating are not leaving. It seems sometime soon there will be some manner of event. As for the officers? They don't seem to have even noticed anything out of the ordinary about the pair of Exalted.
Silk Moon Lotus "At this point, I think you should go and see what the officers are up to. I will see about finding the officers quarters or a planning room of some kind." Silk casually eat what she picked up while talking between mouthfuls to simulate the ravager eating habits.
Black Pearl Black Pearl has food as well as drink, and nods. "Sounds good." She pauses. "Might end up with one for the night. If so...meet tomorrow the entrance we came in?" But there are more and more coming in, and so for the moment, she nods. "Looks like lots here to listen to. Might not be many guards if you go now.
Silk Moon Lotus Silk works her way back out to the room looking for either officer quarters or war room. Something that has useful information in it. She moves with the flow of the residents so as to not appear out of place.
Black Pearl Black Pearl gets more food, and especially drink, going over this time to join the blue-green scaled beauty at her table, giving a nod to acknowledge her and settle in. "What do you think's gonna happen? Heard a lot of different rumors."
Amethyst The halls have most flowing towards the hall, but Silk manages to flow against the tide with ease. After getting deeper into the citadel, it's not as difficult. And eventually, there is a room, a giant sun emblazoned on what seems to be wood. The sun is lined with gold and rainbow, and the room is guarded by a pair of Raksha. If that doesn't say important, nothing does.

Meanwhile, the green ravager looks at Salara with confusion. It takes her a moment and looking back and forth to make sure it was actually her that was addressed. In a quiet voice, she notes, "Glorious has some big news for us. He'd been hinting at it for weeks now, and finally today he'll speak."

Black Pearl Black Pearl nods to the green-scaled ravager, looking over her curiously. "I hope it's not a force march right now. Give people a night to celebrate first," she says iwth a grumble.
Silk Moon Lotus Silk arranges a stack of stones to fall at just the right time to draw the guards away from the doorway so she can slip inside and investigate the wooden structure inside. She waits nearby so she can get inside or retreat quickly as needed.
Amethyst She chuckles, "I hope not, especially with all the drilling they've done tonight. I'm Precious Breath, who do I make the acquaintance?" The green-scaled ravager smiles.

The guards hear the noise and are curious, if alarmed. They carefully make their ways over to the rocks, and look confused to discover no one present, leaving the door /wide open/ for a certain sneaky sort to find her way in.

Silk Moon Lotus As the guards are moving off to investigate the rock pile, Silk slips into the now unguarded room to find out what's inside.
Amethyst Inside the door is a huge office, complete with an chair and desk that Fudou could be comfortable with in his 'smaller' shape. There's various draws here and there, and a giant map in the very center, marking out the various outposts controlled by what must be Elderloch and these guys. Elderloch is represented with blues, while their colors seem to alternate between Yellow, Orange, Red, and Green. All of the furniture in this room is well crafted from fine materials. There are also rubies on /everything/, including a ruby bigger than Silk's head hanging above the desk, complete with gold and silver trimmings holding smaller rubies to the huge one.

If there's a secret to find, it's definitely in this room.

Silk Moon Lotus Silk quickly searchs the room with eyes like an eagle. She takes the battle plans and hides them in one of her belt pouches. The lenses while tempting isn't something she thinks she can walk away with easily. She leaves it behind and replaces the battle plans with other documents that looks enough like tham to pass an initial look. The Hearthstones are tempting as well but those will definately be missed by someone.
Amethyst Upon exiting the room, the two guards from before are making their way back to their posts. They're obviously upset and suspicious and there's no one else in the area but perhaps the one who just stole battle plans from the office.
Silk Moon Lotus Silk calls upon the power of the Sun to dampen the guards concerns about who the ravager is coming from the war room.
Silk glides out of the fortress and makes for the extraction point that she and Pearl had agreed upon before going in. Silk settles in to meditate upon the foray and hopes the stolen battle plans were worth it.
