Ayane Kidnapping plan

Kidnapping Plan:

Goals:
* Neutralize Ayane's main combat advantage - the magical panties
* Remove Ayane from the current conflict by kidnapping her in a way that removes her ability to contact and coordinate her forces
* Interrogate Ayane for information on:
	* reasons for needing to open the seals and the competition she faces for it
	* what other modifications have been done to the mage dolls that we might not yet know about
	* what the movements and plans will be for Gilgamesh and Enkido's fleets
	* what Ayane's ultimate goals and aspirations are in this conflict

Note: All roles given to Liz are optional - her teleportation can be replaced with an airship trip.

Phase 1: Arrival and Preparation
Begin with arrival after teleportation. In the initial moments of arrival, the key players in the heist/kidnapping/plan would want to take time scoping out the entrances and exits to the area, what the paths are leading to and from the baths for various areas of the library, etc. The time should be late evening, possibly into the night. Ayane seems like she'd be up studying pretty late, but at the same time, there would probably be fewer denizens of the city still awake at this time and working.

These people would also have to be moved out of the way somehow, however. A commotion can be started on the lower levels of the library, requesting that Leviathan appear to answer questions the same way Ramuh has been doing and dispensing wisdom. (He would have to appear to us to grant his blessing anyway, so it isn't that much more of a favor to ask for him to do this) Curious scholars would likely want to investigate and turn up, abandoning the other sections of the library in favor of this. If Ayane happens to come along as well, it hardly matters because the Mark of Domination will allow us to move her to a bath elsewhere as we need.

A few disguises will likely be needed for this endeavor, though Advanced Illusion may help with that as well. Ammy, being the one who will have to be able to keep watch on Ayane and direct the operation as such, will likely want to be disguised as a bath worker or someone else who can freely move between the main library and wherever the baths are with relative freedom. Whoever is doing the actual work of snatching Ayane's panties, likely Nat or Lenore, will need to be dressed as someone going to the baths as well. In a pinch, it can even be Ammy doing it. The others would likely want to dress up as scholars of a sort and keep a look out. Theta would want a costume that allows him to move freely within the library without being questioned, including up to the spot where Ayane made her hideyhole. If need-be, Theta can even be disguised AS Ayane for the purposes of accessing that section later, though this is a riskier proposition due to potetial passers-by thinking it weird that Ayane goes down to the baths and immediately back up.

Summary of disguises:
Ammy - bath worker
Nat and Lenore - bathers
Theta - Scholar or Ayane
Elizabeth - herself

Positions at the end of phase 1: Everyone is scouting the area and familiarizing themselves, then meeting back up before beginning to head to their respective spots in...

Phase 2: Setup for Thievery and Kidnapping
Once Ammy begins using the Mark of Domination, then we are on the clock and have to get to the point where she can be teleported out before the effect fully wears off. This means everything has to be coordinated well, and everyone has to be in position before this starts.

One person should definitely be in the baths already, likely Lenore, with a basket full of throwaway clothes and a towel. This person will be the one to grab Ayane's magical panties first before anything else happens in case the kidnapping itself doesn't go exactly as planned. At the very least, the operation would negate the advantage Ayane has by having access to such a powerful artifact.

Nat, being our teleporter OUT of the area, should be either in the baths already as well or hiding nearby enough to go into the baths on a signal or upon seeing Ayane go in. It'd probably be safest and easiest to have her in the baths near where Lenore is. We will also presumably have a second teleporter, Elizabeth, who got us to Daguerreo in the first place. Otherwise we presumably took an airship and that's less relevant.

An area will have to be prepared for where to bring Ayane once we've kidnapped her. The preference for this would be a geomantic cage or some other sort of secure location rather than simply Theta's estate or another of the home bases we have now. With some advance warning, we could even arrange with Regent Cid to make use of the magic-proof holding cells or clasp the anti-magic stone to her to prevent her escape. This would be the ideal situation, placing Ayane in a magic-proof cell and then securing her with an anti-magic clasp before bringing her elsewhere for the actual interrogation.

Once the lookouts and everyone else are in place, Ammy will take control of Ayane with the Mark of Domination and walk her to the baths, shedding all her clothes, including the magical panties, once she's there.

Positions at the end of phase 2:
Ammy - Near the baths, with a view of the library if possible
Lenore and Nat - in the baths, already set up
Theta - start near Ammy, but beginning to move up toward Ayane's position as soon as Ammy begins using the Mark of Domination
Ayane - beginning to be brought down to the bath level

Phase 3: Execution
As soon as Ayane is visibly taken downstairs, Theta, or whoever has his ring and chalk, will rush up to her hiding spot and begin zipping away as many items of seeming import as possible into his pocket dimension. This will ideally include her Crystal Ball, along with whatever other artifacts she might have with her in the space.

Ammy brings Ayane into the bath area and sets down her basket of clothing next to Lenore's, which will be marked ahead of time. As soon as Ayane settles into the bath, Lenore is to get up and "mistakenly" grab the wrong basket, the one that includes Ayane's magical panties, and start to leave, getting dressed immediately via her Magus Sister items or via clothing from her hat.

After Lenore is out of the immediate vicinity, Ammy is to wander into the bath area as well, and Nat will teleport herself, Ammy, and Ayane to the location prepared in advance for the drop-off, which is hopefully a prepared spot in Lindblum.

Theta and Lenore are to rendezvous with Elizabeth, who then teleports the three of them to the drop spot as well. Otherwise, Nat simply makes two trips, likely gaining enough familiarity with Daguerreo in the initial scouting to teleport back there as well.
