We have desks!

The week started off great, we settled into our desks, shared that they were in the office before we get called into a meeting in Stover's office. There we meet Lya Jierre, Danor's Minister of Outsiders who had a puzzle for us. It was consisted of three towers and three rings, the rings were magnetic and had 3 pieces of string attached. The solution was to make it so that you could rearrange the three towers and rings in such a way that the strings from each of the rings could contact one of the towers without intersecting another of the lines using direct paths from the rings to the towers. The solution that we came up with was to socket one of the rings around one of the towers putting the three towers in a line and then the other two rings to the left and right of the line. After completing the puzzle Jierre complimented us and said we may have a chance after all with this. Then came our mission brief.
 
The Duchess and her allies had taken control of an island in the Verasol Archipelago and secured the fort there. If we were not able to eject her within 4 days then Danor would have no option but to declare war in Risur. There was a small task force with marines to help us retake the fort with overwhelming numbers but our task was to infiltrate the island and open the sea doors that would allow the marines to enter with a reasonable level of surprise. While there is an upside that the engineer of the fort, Luciette Debois is likely still on the island somewhere we are not sure we are going to have enough to find them to assist. Lya also asked a personal request that if possible to see to the safety of their cousin Nathan who is on the island.
 
We were brought into a sea cave with another group, Team Zero who would be going with us. Burning 2 of our days in transit we make it to the island and begin infiltration with Team Zero going in first underwater to secure a line for us to follow. Unfortunately when we went to follow the line jerked and went to slack. When we went to follow we found all of them under singular or multiple boulders. Aeldreth was able to save Burton but none of the others who were under multiple large rocks. We made it into the cave and came up to look at Burton who was in bad shape when we were fired upon.
