I cast "Know thy Greatest Enemy" so I can figure out who is the larger threat.  Yay for finally using a knowledge domain spell.

They other interesting thing, is Rainbow Bright knew of your quest to find your father Ruby, which i'm pretty sure we haven't talked to him about before.  And we really don't bring it up often, so the changes of him scrying us while talking about it are pretty slim.  So, I think there is a positive sign that they are somewhere out there.

"Lady Ruby, let me know what your strategic skills uncover regarding our adversaries.  If it is decided that challenging their champion to single combat is the best course of action, I will ready myself to take on that responsibility.  My friends, if there's anything you can buff me with prior to that encounter, I would greatly appreciate it."

I will need to see him to evaluate him.  If someone can point him out and hand me a spyglass.

There’s a total of 1500gc in gold, silver and platinum.

Do we think we could buy off some of the attackers?

The biggest issue is food is almost gone.

Have they been fishing?

That seems unlikely- they have an entire island of resources to pay the troops with.

Yes and yes but no where near enough to feed 28000

Either the doom knight or the general they mentioned.

How are the different humanoid groups arrayed against us?  Kobalds all together and separate or mixed in?

Other than the spotting wyverns, what other monsters do they have to help them?

The catamaran is still here.  Can we pay it to do lots of fishing to help?

Can the illusionist make other invisible, the in the improved way?

Does our friend the gnome have a rifle?

Have they used illusion to infiltrate the enemy to get some intelligence?

How well is the gate fortified, how many are there?

Have they ever attacked from the sea?

Do they have any ships?

Have they used any strong magic, divine or arcane?

Have they summoned any magical creatures?

The Saurial paladin is Rux. The other Saurial, with the bone crest, Tolik. He is a wizard/fighter. There is a female Gnome named Pala. She is an illusionist and is the most powerful spell caster left in the city but doesn’t have evocation spells.
Uther is an evocation specialist but still early in his studies (those bard levels seemed like a good idea at the time…). Just got 3rd level spells and don’t have fireball yet, though I am developing it for next level. Happy to share those spells I do have with Tolik and Pala (who probably has evocation barred).

The town has a decent number of siege weapons but too few who know how to use them.
We just learned that the Wieldskill spell gives temporary proficiency in a skill plus a bonus for a minute/CL. Can we use that to get off some more volleys from the siege engines for a short time?

I believe Seige Weapons is a Weapon Feat not a skill.
