Ii'Jyka'Vaar spurs her mount into a low and swift descent towards the grove... meanwhile scanning the area for any movement..
( SHe will keep flying round and scan the area and intercept anybody trying to help the church/ druids.., and keep an eye out for the Talosian priests..)
As the strikeforce approaches Assam, Gib relays reports from the scouts. They will arrive in Assam just as dawn breaks. The skies are cludy enough that their approach will be masked. The temple of Chauntea is on the outskirts of the city, among the few verdant farms. According to the first reports, there are a number of worshipers entering the grove-temple for a sunrise ceremony of some kind. Therefore the githyanki can expect a fairly large number of graith laborers inside when they arrive.
[ DM - OK folks, time to declare attack actions. Due to the posting scedule of late, initiative will be in the order of whoever posts first. Then all NPCs, then all graith. Outside the temple is a grove of trees (the only trees around), and then the farmer's fields. The temple itself is a made of wood. There are doors in each wall, and the eastern doors are open to greet the dawn. The temple itself is protected from scrying and teleportation, but the grove is not. Anyone who gets into the temple finds twenty (or so) humans in a circle around an altar festooned with fruits, vines, flowers, etc. Five druids form a tighter circle around the altar.]
