Will listened for a moment, nodding.
"History will be on our side.
Their Morrigan isn't a full-out War Goddess; not yet, and we have you way of at least keeping her in check. She's still our biggest threat, so I think we'll need to do a lot to focus on getting her out of the way as quickly and efficiently as possible. Haley will hopefully be able to provide some mental fuzz, and failing that, enough telekenetic chaos to make things far too chaotic for anyone to know what's going on -- anyone who doesn't have a precog directing traffic, at any rate.
If Nailah tells you to do something, don't ask questions, just do it. The whys and wherefores can be sorted out later; but the idea is make things wild enough that we can respond more accurately and quicker than they can -- keep them on the back heel and on the defensive; that's not what they're going to excel at. They're a wolfpack; they're going to be very instinctual; we can exploit that. It also means they're going to be very, very good at working together, so we need to split 'em apart.
Their shifter is lacking a killer instinct; I would imagine he'd spend most of the fight looking to either hide or play defense. You're not going to hurt him, so give him everything you've got. If I can get a clear run at him, I can take him out of the fight permanently; I suspect their strategy will be around preventing me from getting within 20 feet of him. I wouldn't even be surprised if we don't see him on the field; they might play 'hide the shifter', at least at first. Keep your eyes open; he could be anything or anywhere at any time, but he's probably going to go for softer, incapacitating attacks. Don't show him the same courtesy. Don't worry, he'll walk it off later.
Their fae is the real wildcard. She's no longer directly attached to her realm, but I have no idea what that means on terms of her power. Her counterpart was different enough that I'm treating her as an entirely new combatant. Scout her quickly, figure out what she's doing, and keep her from grouping with the others.
As for the wolves...their big mistake, of course, is assuming the fight starts in half an hour. The fight started three days ago, and I've already landed the first blow. With any luck, they'll be distracted and disoriented.
And keep in mind the letter of the rules -- incapcitation works just fine. So, like, duct-taping someone to the wall would count. And obey the rules to the letter. No less -- and no more."
