Elly had snuck in to the nearest village first and managed to steal a traditional Rassi dress for May. Not that it looked much different from Onoskan dresses, but still. She tossed it at May the day she was going in.
"You got everything you need? Poison? Dress? Back story? False name? Flirty exterior?" She asked.

May nodded.
Taking on the proper Rassi accent she'd been practicing, she said, "I've got it all. And Am I ever not flirty?" She winked.

Elly smiled.
"Perfect." She said. "You know the plan, we'll be expecting you back here by nightfall, correct? Good luck May."

May nodded, gave Elly a quick hug and ran out.
She stopped a little way there looked back and hoped to god she got back by nightfall.
When she entered with the other kitchen maids that seemed to be used to new girls showing up, and one just asked what her skills were and her name, which May easily answered, then was put in the perfect position. The day went on smoothly.
The poison was placed in the huge vat of soup, with dinner. May needed more to accomplish what needed though, so she asked if she could go pick more of a herd that ran out. She got permission and came back with some of the herb and another poison she was familiar with, both went in the soup, that tasted wonderful if she did say so herself.
They were allowed to leave after dinner was made. May stuck around for a little while talking to a couple girls, before finding a time to separate and run off back to camp.
She was met at the entrance.

It was Elly, rather convincingly disguised as a boy. It had been done well enough that she wasn't sure her own father would recognize her, but she also knew that May would probably be able to tell. And if she wasn't, that just means that Lily and Silas, who was a professional master of disguise, had done their job above and beyond all expectation.
She smiled.
"Hello my lady. I was sent here to inform a certain red haired vixen that we had moved camp and that I am to escort her to the new ground." She said, bowing.

Elly bowed.
"Why thank you my love. And please, let me escort you, my fair woman." She said.

May curtsied to her friend and motioned for her to lead.
The new site wasn't a long walk, but a very twisty one, completely off any trail, and very well hidden.

Lily bounded over to the two loves of her life and embraced them.
"My dears, supper's almost ready. How was it May? Any cute guys? Anyone you think I'd like?" She asked, with a wink. "Aeron just announced that we're going in tomorrow, as if that's a big shock. Think the poison will have taken root by then? We wouldn't have gotten through the passage itself until about noon."

May smiled at Lily.
"It's pretty strong and fast little poisen, and with the supplement that I ended up putting in, because the pot was so frickin big," May continued to mutter for a moment. "Sorry, it should have them all sick tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Elly said smiling.
~Later~
"Ok guys, it's go time." Aeron said, at the head of the group. "Everyone got their orders, their positions? Everyone know the plan? Any one need to go to the bathroom?"
No one responded.
"Ok, let's go."
And go they went. They infiltrated to the best of their ability, following the plan set down earlier. They killed, swindled, seduced in a few cases, and in return, some were killed of their ranks. But Aeron had to admit that there was a lot less loss of life than he had expected.
Soon they were banging down the doors to the main entrance into the prisoner's area with all the cells.

May was one of the first through to the other side, and she started picking locks, and letting people out. She didn't look to see who they were, not now, later, when everyone was safe and she could hug and coddle them till the wanted to shoot her thorough the heart for treating them as though they were inept.
Every one was out in record time, mostly because everyone on the route had to learn how to pick a lock, or got the keys. Soon they were movine everyone out, back to the forest, most guards had already been disabled on thier way in, and now it was just a matter of getting out quickly.
May was towards the end making sure that some of the weaker ones (most of which were being carried) were getting out okay, mentally assessing injuries and thinking of how she would approach healing later.
One guard came out followed by about ten more. May's sword was in her hand before she'd even completely registered. She urged the people forward while she and a couple others hung back.

Elly had been one of the unlucky few who had fallen behind for whatever reason and had gotten cornered by a group of Rassi's along with some others.
And well, it didn't turn out prettily. Elly was alive, that was for sure. Not uninjured, but she could walk and she didn't think she was losing blood too quickly, so she could probably carry on if she took it nice and slow. But some of the others she got corned with didn't fare as well. Hell, the only reason Elly fared well at all was because she was the literal last person in the group, having gone in last through the tunnel herself, as well as the fact that most of the Rassi's were sick from yesterday's stew surprise and having fought two others already, both of whom were already gone. She'd mourn them later, she herself not having the time nor the energy to now. Right at hte moment, she was on autopilot. Get through the mission, get her arm and shoulder bandaged, and maybe a few other places, and then get home to Daddy who had promised her cake.
And right now, she needed cake. Because she'd managed to make it to the prisoner's room, where they were liberating. And some of these people.....
It just...
She couldn't say anything.
~
Lily was one of the many helping people out. She kept looking for Rast and Gabe, but it was possible they were already out. But she opened up cell after cell, holding out a hand to help people up and giving a warm shoulder of support to those who needed it. She wasn't a full Crescent. She may be of the blood and of the raising and her heart may be fully dedicated to it, but she lacked the necessary blood lust and detachment that she could see in her friends to fully be a Crescent.
She opened a door and stared.
There was a thin woman in the corner, with a mischievous smile on her lips, lips that looked as though it'd be a very long time since they'd smiled anything but bitterly. Her eyes were a familiar green and her hair , while not the same color, was the same texture as Elly's, had it been clean and brushed. She knew this woman. This was the woman who'd helped raise her. The woman they had all thought died on her last mission, which had been straight to the heart of Rassel.
Amaya Smith.
"Lily." The woman said, with no hint of question in her voice. She recognized the girl.
Lily smiled so widely her face began to hurt and she began to blubber.
"Auntie Ama!" She said, running over to the sitting woman and gathering her in her arms.
Amaya patted her on the back.
"I've missed ya, kid." Amaya said to Lily. "Now help me up. I think I should go home now."
Lily leaned back and helped Amaya up and looked her over. Her hair was matted and dirty and would in all honesty probably have to all be shaved off. She was emaciated, most of her former muscle tone lost. Her eyes were duller, but not lifeless. Her mouth was grim, but still held those smile lines that Lily had grown to adore as a child. Her posture held a certain amount of defeat in it, but Lily knew. Lily knew that Amaya still had fight left in her. That she was beaten, but not broken. That somewhere beneath the prison pallor and skinny arms was the Crescent Leader that everyone had adored. A woman who could still be that person. After all, with Amaya not dead, the current leader's claim would be considered null and void. Leadership was for life.
Lily helped Amaya get to someone who could help her to the meeting spot where htey would deal with the injuries, illness, weaknesses of the prisoners.
She herself went back to what she had to do.

They got out. They were in the forest. May knew they'd lost some, she remembered tripping and hopping over bodies, not entirely sure who everyone was- if they were enemy or friend.
They were currently at a pretty safe spot, no one was following them, to busy licking their wounds, and they were miles away from the camp, they slowed only for eating occasionally, and sleep for a couple hours, and they paused for a bit earlier to take care of major wounds, but now they really needed to do some healing.
May, the best healer in the group (ooc. I assume at least), started telling people what to do, getting water, bandaids, putting people in priority. She sent a few out to get certain herbs, and foods. The first person she saw looked to be on death's door. She smiled down at them and washed the dirt away from their face.
The person closed their eyes. "Thank you, At least i can die free."
May squeezed their hand, and nodded. There was no hope, May couldn't help them out here. She motioned someone over to hold the person's hand, and handed them a herb. "Have them chew this, to make it easier. They deserve that."
May moved on, helping as many as she could, knowing a few were just ready to die, but thankfully she managed to help more than she had to let die. A familiar face appeared before her, and she grinned.
"Rast!"

Rastus had lost a lot of weight in the past few months. He hadn't seen Gabe in a few weeks, ever since he was moved into a different cell block. Of course, of the people in his own block, Rast had probably gotten off the easiest. He knew he was lucky in that respect and that he would be able to help out.
He saw May and he threw his arms around her, crushing her with all the strength that was left to him.
"Sweet Mother Mara, it's so good to see your smiling face again." He said. "Where's Aeron? Lily? Elly? Have you seen Gabe? I haven't seen him in a long time. And how's Auntie Amaya doing? She was right across from me in the block and I was taken out before her, so I'm not sure where she ended up."
