Re: Clouds Over Scotland
"As I also believe." Dash agreed with a nod, "However, as I see it, there are two areas that come to the forefront of interest."
Dash raised a finger, "One, on the chance that Matthew is correct, and these cheats have some means of exit other than the main mine enterance, I believe an aerial recconnaisance looking for activity at nearby ruins, or ships anchored just off the coast might be in order."
Dash raised another finger, "Two, mention was made of a pair of tents set up by the skalawags. I believe it more likely that this is the quarters of the two leaders, rather than that they sleep inside the mine. And, as such, it may be where they keep any papers that might indicate their plans."
"Rather than any attempt to infiltrate the mine, I would suggest we pursue these two venues. Brother Remi," Dash turned towards Remi, "I take it that you are familiar with ships and their usage, as well as the ways of some...sailors." Dash said that last with a smirk and a wink at the big man, "So you might have a weather eye for hidden lairs or coastal caves and passes amoung the hills."
"That, and your blimp is faster and more agile than Lord Kentigern's dirigible, so it would be the better choice for an aerial recon."
Dash picked up his coffee cup, saw that it was empty, shrugged and put it back down.
"Though I am loathe to separate our forces, I believe this to be the best way to utilize the manpower that we have."
"Some of us should go with Brother Remi to scout the region, while the rest of us raid the scoundrels tents. I would also put forward that the ladies accompany the aerial recconnaisance, as well as Mister Clemens -- in deferrence to your age, and the rugged terrain, sir." Dash nodded respectfully towards Mark Twain, "I would not presume to dictate Mister Tesla's choice, but I do believe you, also, would better serve aboard the blimp, sir."
"The rest of us will trudge overland and make an investigation of the tents and encampment."
Dash sat back in his chair, and smiled broadly at the group.
"That is, those are my suggestions. If anyone has any other thoughts, I am amenable. But, unless Mister Clemens can produce one of his Mediums, or someone of that nature, to divine us some answers, this is how I believe we should proceed."
Dash suddenly sat up and snapped the fingers of his right hand.
"And what about the mine supervisor, this, uh, Cave-er fellow you mentioned before? Where is he? If we actually end up needing to enter the mine, he might be a useful fellow."
