The creature does not respond back. Perhaps it can't talk. Perhaps it doesn't want to. And it isn't impossible that it has gone deaf between the shot that grazed its head and the automatic rifle next to it.

Silver hears,
"Sergeant Sword. Sergeant Sword!"

Amber raises an eye"brow" quizzically. "I can't really say. But, here is one possibility. At a pawn shop I like to frequent, I came across a viol of exquisite make. The owner knew it was somewhat valuable–I paid a hefty price for it–but he really had no idea of its true worth. I like to play music on my off hours–it helps to keep me sane with what I have to go through–and it's now my most prized possession. Could they have learned about the presence of such valuables on the train? Perhaps, they have their ways after all."

Amber seems to be cheerfully eager. "Would you like to see my viol? You look to have an eye for fine craftgriffship."

The "stations" are not listed on any map. There is little reason for the recipient to know of their existence.

Posey would also have to specify the southern or the northern section of the tunnel.

I should have thought of this before I came up with this plan.
Tbh, the details of the rendezvous point aren't particularly important, so long as it's in an area out of the way with sparse traffic at midnight, and the location obvious enough for Luminous to find his way there. An overhead canopy and dark lighting conditions are just a bonus.
Posey is from up north, so she chooses the northern section.
>There is little reason for the recipient to know of their existence.
Then she specifies the mouth of the tunnel, which should be easy enough for a flying creature to find.

All this said and done, is there anything else I need to specify before it's revealed if Posey's plan works?
Luring him out is the simple part. After this Posey is going to need to fight a flying paladin of indeterminate level.

Are you so sure? The military, after all, has spent years looking for harmonic stragglers. If all of their vigilance, deceit, and treachery cannot locate them, how can Posey be so certain it's easy to find a griffin in a griffin-stack?

Maybe it's not so simple then... I guess it depends if he takes the bait or not.
I could just go to his place of residence and kill him there, but I would prefer to minimize witnesses, and maybe get some information out of him.

Posey is betting on the idea that Luminous is searching for allies in Equestria, which necessitates that he take risks and present himself to potential allies. If he doesn't take the bait, that'll at least give Posey something to write home about how desperate for personnel the Arcturian Order is right now.

Let's try

Anything else to set up?

The scene would obviously be dark with obnoxious yellow lights from the streetlights that line the railway. Trains are not so active at midnight.

The officer places the phone to his head, and seems to be frustrated by the lack of an answer. He looks to Amber skeptically, as if to say "I'm on to you." He places down the phone, and takes a hold of her viol, peering especially into the center, as if looking for anything hidden within.

"And you mean to tell me rebels would attack over a viol?" he says, in clear disbelief.

Posey's disguise mod is +6, although I'm hoping to get the "minor details only" bonus. It's a secret roll, so I guess I'll just have to see how well I do.

Undetectable Alignment lasts 24 hours, so if possible I would have liked to cast it at the end of the previous day (leaving me 6 spell slots to use), but otherwise she'll just cast it before she leaves.

>She may as well have some story for what she is doing out, especially as her antique weapons may require explanation
Posey takes 10 on her bluff check (modified 22) to convince them that she's going out to have this set of implements appraised for historical value.
>If Posey was expecting perfect punctuality at midnight, she is disappointed
With nothing better to do, Posey waits for a while. She flickers her lamp every now and then, to draw some attention.
If her mark doesn't show up by ~3:00 AM, she gives a shrug of disappointment, and leaves to lurk the alleys outside the nearest bar to find a drunkard to exsanguinate.

I guess I should roll.
I'm going to roll bluff to deliver a secret message, with the message being vaguely "I'm waiting to meet somepony at midnight!", to get the attention of my mark.

Posey flicks her lantern in dimly, illuminating her face. She removes her hood, which would reveal her chain shirt barding. She puts on a stoic, noble expression, hiding her own anxiety.
She gives a bow, her mail rattling.
"Is it you who sought aid of the Knights Of Celestia?" she asks, breaking the ice.

He stops abrubtly, then moves closer towards Posey, standing just outside of the entrance. Unless, that is, Posey is outside of the entrance. He's clearly passed his disguise check, as he does not look like a paladin. He's the right age to be a veteran (35ish), but isn't especially well kept, nor does he look very strong.

He replies
"Are you ELF?"

"I've heard of them, and even know a few, but no." Posey replies
"My loyalties lie... elsewhere. I'm not one to divide my devotion, but I am one to help a friend in need."
She looks past the griffon
"Did anypony follow you? I take it you got the letter."

I like how Posey is assuming he has a reputation as a whore mongerer
It took me a moment to realize that isn’t even a lie
“I see…” he nods slowly
“No, I am Alluring Grandeur. His nephew. Nephew on another family line. But I know him here in Baltimare. He sent me in his stead as the government will lay traps.”

You might have noticed that Posey has a practice of minimizing overt lies while she's misleading people.

>He sent me in his stead as the government will lay traps.
Posey gives a slow nod
"Your uncle is a wise bird. The government's eyes are everywhere. It's almost as if they're more concerned with good-hearted patriots than they are with the wretched changelings hiding under their noses." she says, through gritted teeth
"Did your uncle have a message to deliver?"
