So's Tabar.

"You Lianda's sister?"

"Yeah. Name's Ena. You're her friend?"

"Tabar at-Zafira, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. You known her long?"

"Only a couple days," he says.  "We met in a tavern, she brought me on board."

"Sounds like her. Quick to make friends."

"Plus I got one of those faces," he says, grinning.

"I suppose anyone can spontaneously develop a weakness to cute boys."

He snorts.

And Lianda arrives.

"Why do I get the feeling Ena was just making fun of me?" she asks.

"Because you know you're a dweeb?"

She snorts and rolls her eyes.

"Everyone good to go?"

Tabar gives a thumbs-up.

"Wouldn't be here otherwise."

"Right."

So - planning.

She hasn't found much else, digging through archives, but she's got a few sketches of the exterior.

He peers at the sketches.  "Do we know how many people they got who can cast aura sight spells?"

"No, not exactly..."

Still, they have a little bit - enough to get an idea of the range of possibilities for their defenses, at least.

 Step one is a stakeout - see what they can learn about the guards' behaviors without risking actually going inside.

Ena thinks she should be alone on that. No offense, but Lianda's not exactly stealthy, and even two can be a crowd.

Tabar sucks at stakeouts and is happy to delegate.

Ena's evaluation's fair, yeah.

Great. They can figure out the rest once she has her report?

“Absolutely.”

What's their timeline, here?

The goal is to spend a day learning as much as she can on a stakeout, regroup and plan her first foray in the next day, and ideally, by day three, have her either doing some snooping or nabbing somebody to question about the layout and on-site security.  After that it will depend on whether they decide to call in more backup for the break-in proper.
