Time to rescue the Princess, er, summoner! (Active, Open)

[ithehellamharry.livejournal.com]

Who: Harry Dresden, Belle, Hades, Yuna, anyone looking to save the latter from the former.
What: The citizens of Paixao gather to save one of their own from the God of Death
Where: Starts at Yuuko's shop, then makes its way over to Hades' hideout
When: The night Belle and Harry found Hades hideout
Warnings: Probably violence, will update as needed
Notes: Okay, this is one of those pesky large scale logs, so everyone try and move fast (says the hypocrite) especially in the beginning. I figure we get everyone to tag in at Yuuko's shop, Harry and Belle will outline the location and plan, and then everyone split up into teams and make their way to the house. From there, things can hit the fan.

It had taken some time for Harry and Belle to get back to Yuuko's shop, having taken a different path and used some magical and mundane trickery to hopefully keep them from being followed. With any luck, by now people would have started to arrive.

Belle had kept Harry up to date on the responses on the message board, and he'd taken the time to try and sketch out a rough plan. It was far from perfect, but they couldn't leave Yuna imprisoned any longer than they had to, so for now it would have to do. With any luck, the others would have some suggestions as well.

Turning the street, he saw the familiar wall of Yuuko's shop, and turning to Belle grinned and said, "Well, I hope we have enough time to get the party set up before the guests arrive.

Harry waited until everyone had responded arrived, mentally ticking off the seconds in his head. He knew on some level that he was being a bit absurd, and that since there was no sign that Hades had detected them when they checked out his place there was no sense in rushing. Still, at the same time he didn't feel right leaving Yuna alone with her captor any longer than he had to, and from the look of things several of the others here felt the same way.

Besides, right now they had the element of surprise, and if they really were going up against a god, they'd need all the help they can get. He recognized Tanaka and Auron from the raid on the Organization's lab, and he felt a lot better about this whole thing knowing Murphy and Death would be along for the ride. Murphy because she was someone he could trust absolutely, and Death because they'd need some serious firepower for this, and it didn't get much more serious than Death. He didn't know the others really, but given the fact that he got a strong impression of power from several of them, he could only hope they knew what they were getting into.

He had been about to start talking right when Jecht made his rather dramatic entrance, and taking a second to give the man a look that strongly implied Harry thought he was nuts, then another to push down his subsequent irritation, before trying again.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, this is the situation. Working together, Belle and I have determined that Hades is keeping Yuna in a house in the Villas Salonas neighborhood. The house itself has three visible entrances, and a I suspect Yuna is probably being kept in the basement. Right now, I think the best plan is for us to split into three teams, each one covering a doorway. Whichever way Hades tries to go out, that team holds him until the others can get there and back him up."

Looking serious, Harry locked eyes with each of the group for a second. "Now, I'll admit I don't have a clear idea of how powerful Hades is, or what he is capable of, but given he shares a name with a God of Death where I come from, I'm not inclined to take any chances. We need to hit him hard, fast, and not hold anything back. Showboating and playing with your opponent to see how strong he is will be strongly discouraged. Feel free to cheat at your whim. Remember, our first priority is to get Yuna back."

He paused, then added, "Oh, and not die, that's also important. I want to thank you all for coming, but if you want this last chance to back out, feel free to. Anyone who calls you a coward can take it up with me, because avoiding this kind of fight if you're not ready isn't cowardice, it's being smart, something I've never really gotten the hang of."

He waited for a moment, then went on, "Okay, let's get into two teams of three, and one of four, and head out. I'll show everyone where the house is on the map, and each group can make their own way there. Just send a signal when you're in place by having one team member post on the network asking where to find a good cup of coffee."


[ooc: You can either roleplay the team selection and further planning or just have it happen off screen, once the teams are ready just start a thread for them with them hiding outside the house. I figure we can skim over the whole walking to the house thing, just assume Harry showed them where it is]
