After our previous efforts left us standing outside the locked gates of Bava Nisos, it was clear we needed a new strategy. Something deliberate and well thought out to achieve our goal. What we've gotten is the exact opposite, at least based on Anise's most recent call. Fed up with the pace of our progress, Livia has now decided to barrel straight into Bava Nisos armed with the Scepter of Orr. As her colleague, I'd call her decision both inconsiderate and reckless. As someone aware of the Scepter's fraught past, I'd call it potentially catastrophic. And that's not even getting into the politics of her acting directly in contradiction of the Tyrian Alliance's vote. For now, I will be making my way to the city, hopefully to stop this situation from spiraling into an even greater mess. ***
