Esteban wants to collect Arcane Connections to Captain Alexandro and the grogs, if they agree. This is so Esteban can scry on them if we get separated during the battle. Also, if any of them are inexperienced, wounded, or in low spirits, Esteban wants to spont Heart of the Lion on those grogs. He also gives the whole turb a rousing pep-talk about how once again we go into battle against the supernatural, armed with but mundane steel and our indomitable courage, and of course we shall prevail because nothing is a match for the men of Andorra!
Esteban casts Wizard's Sidestep, Aura of Ennobled Presence, Finding the Fuel of Magic and Eyes of the Cat on himself. He gathers a pouchful of stones for Invisible Sling of Vilano. He's good to go.
