> Quietly go back up the stairs enough so we can whisper without any chance of waking her up, wave to the others to follow back up
> Whisper "Well we're stuck, there's no chance we can get that close to her without her noticing"
> Whisper to Koakuma "That spell that brought us here, will it activate immediately upon touching the javelin or is there a delay? Like do you reckon we can sneak up as close as we can and hope we touch it before she wakes up and realizes whats going on?"

> You return back up the stairs, although you note Kogasa has to be pulled away by Koakuma.
> "Unless she's a really deep sleeper." Kogasa says, not in her usual tone, but sounding somewhat unfocused.
> "I imagine there would be some sort of delay, after all, us three must remain in contact as well, or else we'll end up stuck here. If it activated immediately; even if we accidentally touched Gungir... that could be catastrophic." the deamon explains.
Tom:
> Whisper "Kogasa you don't happen to have any magic to help sneak around?"
> Whisper "Koakuma you said the spell will also activate after some time has passed? Do you think there will be any warning when it's about to activate which will let us time it so we disappear the moment we grab the javelin? You're still in contact with lady Patchouli right? Could you ask her how long the activation delay is?"
> Whisper "Could we perhaps activate a spell card in a way that Elis is left outside of its unpassable barrier field? The spell card system should prevent a third person from interfering with a spell card duel"

> Direct Kogasa's Question to Louise as well.
> Add to Kogasa :" And would it possible to summon enough rain in that room so that,with a well-chosen place to retreat to,Elis can be warded off until we are recalled back with Gungir in tow ?"
> Add to Koakuma : " And could Lady Patchouli be contacted to explain the situation we are in order to have her set up a faster "return" after we have given her a signal we are ready ?
> With Spell Card Barriers,Kogasa's Rain,Koakuma's Communication,Louise's Support Magic all working in well-planned synergy we should be able to make progress.

> Kogasa shakes her head.
> Koakuma seems to concentrate for a moment.
> "Patchouli says it'll take about thirty seconds for the spell to fully charge once it's triggered. A dimensional translocation takes a lot of energy." Koakuma answers.
> "I don't think spellcards would work properly in Makai. Makai isn't bound by the spellcard rules; and you'd be trying to create a Binding Field with Makaian magic, not Gensokyian." Koakuma responds.

> "Not in a room..." Kogasa says. "But maybe I could do it outside. Maybe. I'm not sure if I can make enough."
> "It cannot be sped up any quicker than thirty seconds. Not without terrible risk. The 'only half of you makes it back and the other half is left in Makai' sort of risk." Koakuma responds, before adding, "Assuming of course thirty seconds in Gensokyo is thirty seconds in Makai. Lady Patchouli means Gensokyian seconds."
> "I could cast enchantments of quieting upon you; but it would conflict with the haste enchantments I applied before we set off. If you only need thirty seconds, I can buy that time. Or at least buy you enough time for you to fly as far away as you can so Elis cannot catch up in that time window." Louise explains.
> She raises a hand, which is glowing with her ghostly blue light. "Besides, while it's not my area of expertise, I can cast a sealing hex on the coffin. I'm not sure how much time that will buy you, but at least it should let you grab the lance and get out of immediate danger." Louise opens one of her eyes slightly as she looks at you. "I get the feeling when Elis figures out who I am she'll be like a wild dog on a leash trying to have a fight with me. She won't pass up a fight against someone who held a title as valuable as I did before my untimely demise."
Tom:
> Make a mental note to experiment with Spell Cards in Makai on our next visit, our interest has been piqued and others like Eirin, Reimu and Shinki would surely be interested in the results
> Whisper "Some other time could you tell us more about who you were before Vina was destroyed?"
> Whisper "Okay we're ready, right when you cast the sealing charm we'll grab the javelin and make a run for it. Once we get outside we all hold hands so the spell affects all three of us"
> Right after Louise casts a sealing charm on the box or gives us a signal grab the javelin with our Youkai Strength, touch or bump Koakuma with it to trigger the spell warmup and head for the stairs
