"Remember Raiden, this is a Sneaking Mission." - Roy Campbell, paraphrased.

Starring Raiden as Naked Raiden. A young man, with plenty to prove. He's performing naked cartwheels. He's very embarrassed being tailed by a man wearing a top hat.

And Dezel, his funny and charming partner.

gravy presents, "A Big Man at the Missing Member" coming to your Mercs match.......now.


Anyway outside of the funny movie tagline (poster this tbqh).

Raiden is tagged along by Dezel. Dezel has Quickness, a buff that literally increases movement speed. On this terrain, we're basically in a city. Attackers start at the pier, defenders in the Missing Member (lol). What this says is they are on two decks. The enemies start on the lower deck, while Raiden and pals are on the upper level.

Y'shtola knows a lot about exposing herself (https://youtu.be/-kNrqqaurrY?t=144) so she has symphy (typo intended) for Raiden. Strategic mind, and common denizen of La Noscea she also knows the in's and outs of the town. For instance there are Aethryte Crystals that are scattered throughout the terrain. Using them sends them to different zones of the city (auction block, guilds, etc).

With Dezel actively on the field he knows 1) where HIS allies are through wind-sense at all times as well as 2) where the enemies are as well. Presumably, he could use his wind-sense to locate where Snake is waiting on the map with his gear. With Quickness, Raiden and he are very mobile as well.

The use of the Aethrytes in city for quick travel and Dezel's locating, Raiden will find his comrade and mentor Solid "Ironquis Plisken (spelled it wrong deal with it)" Snake who will give him back his gear. The enemies will all fight with HONORABLE SAMURAI COMBAT which really nerfs I dunno all of them.

Even if Raiden doesn't want to use the Aether crystal to activate the travel exposing his junk to Dezel, they can still get around the map. There are many ways around in Limsa Lominsa:

There are four stairways between the Upper and Lower Decks. There is also an elevator, IIRC, that connects the Missing Member to the rest of the body. I mean, uh, there's an elevator that connects Upper and Lower, basically. And those little blue things that look like diamonds? Those are the Aethrite. IIRC, to use the crystals, you must attune at the central crystal: thankfully with a short elevator ride, they can attune very fast if the teleporting idea is sound (i.e. Snake is near a place connected to the travel system).

Finding Snake is only a matter of time and evading the enemies on this map is quite simple. Especially for a Man On A Sneaking Mission like Raiden.
