Dagon and Maita landed the bison on the beach, meeting Haider and the troop just as they ran aground. Maita hopped out and stepped up to the fighters. "Follow the edge of these woods straight until you reach the first stone road. Follow that one straight down but be careful, there are Residents lurking in the streets. They're mostly pillaging stuff from houses and businesses, so if you look casual and don't approach them, they might not suspect you. At the end of the first street there's a bridge. Cross that and follow the waterline up to the palace. Behind the palace is the Stamping Press. It's heavily guarded, so be ready. Ara will be following you above with the dragon, in case you run into trouble. If he swoops down, DUCK. Hit the ground, and hopefully everyone else will be incinerated. Cool?"
Haider gave a sharp salute and gathered up an arm of rocks. The others fell into formation behind him, already perfectly organized.
"Uh, good job." Maita said.
"We went over everyone's fighting strengths and weaknesses on the boat." Haider informed her. That would explain why nobody looked twice when the Fire Nation teenager started earthbending. "Move out!" He whispered harshly.
Everyone started moving up the beach and down the tree line in perfect formation, all sides covered.
Maita glanced at Dagon. "I really thought he was all bark and no bite."
Dagon looked around. He hadn't fully been paying attention, but watching the trees. "Well, you might be in for a few surprises tonight."
"The hell does that mean?"
