"I know very little about the Water Tribe."

Mara has some advice, though she wasn't there very long at all, and they didn't much like her anyways.

Good; then Hisame can be ready to go, soon.

Room for a passenger again?

Yes! She quite likes having someone to show off to, after all.

Off to the North Pole, then.

The Northern Water Tribe's city is set on the coast, backing up into the glacier that caps the world. Their walls and buildings are made of ice. The harbor is deep and clear, enough so that one can see the mangled hulls of the Fire Nation navy that met its end here some months ago.

"I'm tempted to try to flood them but actually not exceptionally good at water techniques..."

"They must have provision for storms and heavy tides and the like. We could melt their ice on top of them."

"Oh, sounds fun! Their entire city is just so vulnerable..."

"I'm sure they think themselves rather hostile and remote."

"Mara mentioned a sacred place under their palace - I'm thinking start there."

"Nothing like a bit of blasphemy to start things off on the right foot."

"Mara did ask me to refrain from killing any spirits, though. I don't want to make her job harder, after all."

"Fair enough."

She grins.

So, sneaking into the base of the palace! What seems the best path for that?

They could drop over the cliff in the back, come up from one of the canals, or walk through the front gate.

Hm... She favors dropping down from the cliff. Under camouflage, of course.

It's a good thing Eliana has no fear of heights. She would like to kill someone soon, so she can warm up.

Well, they can skim past any particularly out of the way guards on their way to the cliff, then, and vanish them to their untimely demise.

Much appreciated.

From the rear, the way in is pretty obvious. A tunnel leads down into a cavern with an opening up to the sky in the roof. Directly beneath is a pool, in which circle two koi fish. One is black, the other white, and the chase each other round and round, endlessly.

She nods to the fish. "Those are the spirits Mara asked me to leave alone. Apparently the moon and the tide, without which Mara would have a rather interesting time of it."

"Curious. I will refrain from beginning a private aquarium, then."

"It'd be appreciated!"

And she starts examining the walls to see where the best places to start fires would be (she's assuming the fish can survive having more water around).

Other than being made out of ice, there aren't really any tricks to the construction. Her keen destructive eye will soon be able to find an effective pattern.
