Bastion sighs inaudibly, these people have too little patience. But they're what he has to work with.
He turns to Albrecht, "How much do you need to adjust your spell list? Is the wait critical to your effectiveness?"

Albrecht thinks about his spells and responds to Bastion "I can make the spells I have prepared work. There may be some small tweaking I could do if given the time to prepare new spells, but, honestly, my major spells are set as what they would be. If we have surprise and passion on our side, I guess we might as well go with it and attack now. It seems the mage is ready, Krusten is passionate, and Ildrahil is impatient. There is no use holding them all back for the sake of me and Avan. I think we will still be effective."
"Then let us get this done with tonight, if you will excuse me, I'll need to make a quick patch."
After repairing the arrow hole, and once the sun starts to set, Bastion will head to the treeline, and let Ildrahil and anyone else who'd watched through the day rest and prep for the next few hours.
In the waning light, Bastion will consider all possible approaches, looking for the route they can take least likely to end in premature discovery.
When it becomes too dark to see much of the land around the fort, he'll simply observe, and wait for the right moment. When these celebrating folks are wandering off to bed, tired and hopefully well intoxicated.
Out of Character: Using a lesser repair kit to recover the 4 HP lost before. If the first roll is not 3+, using a second repair kit.

Krusten awaits the final go ahead and readies herself to go to the fort and work her magic. She smiles with a frown thinking about how she will exact revenge for her birdie.
Out of Character: I will roll when we actually get there just in case.
When the group agrees the time is right, Bastion will say,
"Everyone go ahead and drink your potions of Darkvision, they'll last for hours. Krusten, Ildrahil, you won't be able to fly as fast as me, but also will be translucent, and thus very difficult to spot, so you'll go first by a few minutes. Don't forget that you won't be able to attack until the potion's effects end, so avoid being seen ahead of time. I suggest waiting for us directly above the tower."
"Albrecht, Deanna, start working together to clear the fort's interior as soon as we touch down. I suggest that Albrecht try to force them into groups that Deanna can mow down, but use your judgement."
"Krusten? That mage who killed your bird? He is all yours, as is anyone else that looks like a major threat."
"Ildrahil, you're with me, we'll clear the gatehouse and ensure the roof remains unchallenged, let the other three use the high ground to work their magic."
"Avan, use your best judgement on when to charge in with the animals after the drawbridge is lowered. If we're still nuking the courtyard, hold off."
Specific actions:
-Entire group takes DV potions and proceed on foot to predetermined point near the fort.
-Krusten and Ildrahil quaff gas form potions and fly up and over fort. (Potions last 10 minutes, 10' fly speed while translucent and insubstantial, should take somewhere under 8 minutes to get in position)
-Approximately 6-7 minutes after first group departs, Bastion will quaff Fly potion, pick up Deanna and Albrecht, then fly up and over fort. (Potion lasts 5 minutes, 40' fly speed while carrying heavy load)
-Everyone drops down onto top of fort tower as gas form potions are wearing off.
-chaos ensues.

Krusten nods in agreement, she plans to take out the wizard first if she sees him but prior to this she plans to stay out of harms way by looking for a corner of the stronghold to become solid again.
