"That would certainly be a mission worth chronicling in song.
Sir, wouldn't Jimbo

be able to give
us some insight into infiltrating the Yellow Rose?"

"I think before we discuss an infiltration tactic, we should
first discern whether it is possible to use the Key and to
arrive where we want to."

"Gentlemen, one step at a time." Shepard says, walking closer to
you. "We should be able to answer both of these questions
simultaneously. I believe we can find both Scarfunkel and Jimbo
in the library. Arnulf, Master Monk— if you would, I'd ask that
you join us. We will need your knowledge as well." He begins to
walk towards the door to right of the throne. "The rest of you
have the liberty of the first floor of the palace while I am
gone. You may ask any of the guards for whatever you need."
Shepard leads you through the door, and then down a corridor to
some large double doors, which you think are directly behind the
throne. Opening them, you come into a large, long hall, sort of
a shrunken version the main hall, with floor to ceiling
bookshelves, and many tables. You find Scarfunkel and Jimbo
seated at a table, pouring over some books.

"Greeting esteemed councilmen! It seems you have quite a journey
in store for us."

"Quite a journey indeed, quite a journey indeed." Scarfunkel
says, looking up from his books and licking his lips nervously.
"My friend Jimbo and I have determined that this portal in the
Yellow Rose should have the capability of taking you to this...
ah... Rug Shutri..."
"Ragh Chattari." Corrects Arnulf.
"Ah, yes, quite right." Scarfunkel continues, pushing back his
hair. "Well, in any case, we still cannot say for certain if
this will work. If... if the portal arch in... Ragh... Ragh
Chattari... is broken, somehow, you'll be trapped in the
monastery. This is unlikely, but what's more likely is that the
portal arch has been blocked, or buried... Or... Or if the Lake
of Steam has infiltrated the city and submerged the arch, that
entire volume of water could come pouring through, destroying
the monastery and everything within... well... a large radius,
probably much of Damara and parts of Impiltur."
"Course, that's assumin' you can even get to that there portal."
Jimbo says, leaning back in his chair and exhaling heavily.
"It's located in the heart of the monastery, and them orcs won't
just let you stroll in. I can tell you about a few sneaky
passages, but I don't think I'd be able to make you a map of the
place— if you get in, you'd have to find your way to the portal
yourself."

"I assume you have a route plotted for traveling by land and sea
as well; how does that option fair against an infiltration of
the Yellow Rose?" Asmundr continues, "Skarfunkel, you have gone
on your share of missions in the old days, which do you think
would yield the best results? I can see that expedience is very
important at this time."

"We do." Shepard says, stepping towards the table. "The captain
of the galley The Old Duck has volunteered to take you as far as
the eastern border of Erlkazar, following the chain of lakes
that run between the Turmish Republic, Akanul, and the Vilhon
Wilds. It's a dangerous voyage, with the Turmish currently
warring in Akanul, and the Vilhon Wilds being... well... the
Vilhon Wilds. You won't find a warm reception in Erlkazar
either... We know little about what goes on there, but rumors
persist that the land is under a darkness. Once you get there,
things get a bit tougher— you'll either need to hoof it to the
Lake of Steam, or borrow some canoes from The Old Duck and
portage them over a hundred miles to ride them down the
Thornwash. Either way, once you reach the Lake, you'll need to
find some way across. We have very little information on the
area, other than that at one point there was a sizable village
at the mouth of the Thornwash. Perhaps you could convince them
to lend you a boat. Worst comes to worst, you'll have to either
walk or canoe around the edge of the lake, which is doable, but
tremendously more time consuming. What awaits you on the other
side, in Ragh Chattari, we have no idea."
Scarfunkel shifts uncomfortably in his seat, "As exciting as the
idea of using a portal is, I fear there are too many unknowns
for me to suggest that course of action."
Shepard nods. "I agree with Scarfunkel. The idea that the entire
Lake of Steam could come flooding through to wipe out Damara is
also more than troubling."

Lyrina quietly shuffles into the library to join the group
"What's this nonsense about running head first into a nest of
orcs?"

"Well, miss, the idea would be to sneak in, I suppose," Jimbo
says, putting his feet up on the table. "The orcs numbered in
the hundreds when they took the place, but if Shepard's reports
are accurate, there have been more arrivin' every day since...
There may be thousands of orcs there now. How they all fit, I
don't rightly know... My quarters weren't that big..."

"hmmmm, sounds like a death trap. But so does that month long
trip. Well, I guess if we can sneak in there, open the portal,
and not relocate that lake, I'd say we give it a go."
