<DeathStar> Location: Pelia
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas works his way down the street from the library with notes scribbled out, thoughtful and his movement still not entirely back to normal, but better. Faile, for her part, perches across from some vendors near the inn, watching them peddle goods
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas glances at the two who went with him, then ahead, running a cloth over his forehead
<Kaelan> * Seth walks along with Thomas and Ingrid. He glances back, "Doing alright mate?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes. I'll be fine
<Pariah> * Ingrid stops walking to ensure that nothing is wrong, nodding when this is confirmed. "More rest will help."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods, then stops by a fountain that's not used for bathing and gets himself something to get some water, taking amoment to sit and drink
<Kaelan> Seth> "Good, good." *he sits down next to him, scooping up a bit of water for himself*
<DeathStar> 6* Faile reaches up to chew on a thumbnail as she watches, peering up at unusually dark clouds appearing for this region of Navarro
<Kaelan> * Kaelan steps outside the inn, she peers up, frowning.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas runs his hand through his hair, glancing up thoughtfully. "How much gold do I owe you and your teacher?" 6* He asks Ingrid. "I'm certain I'm well enough now you don't have to follow us any longer if you do not wish."
<Pariah> * Ingrid waits for them to finish and be ready to move again, never relocating herself if she didn't feel it required.
<Kaelan> * Seth peers at THomas, then the girl, he gives Thomas a questioning look, as if wondering if what he found at the library was pressing.
<Kit> <Aschae> ...Find merchanting interesting, lass?" 6She peers at Faile with a sidelong squint
<DeathStar> 6* Faile glances at Aschae, peering at him with her hawk like gaze, then softens as she looks back. "It's fascinating how they squabble about prices."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan rubs the back of her head. "...Does it storm often in the desert?"
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas drinks his water, looking nonchalant as he looks at Ingrid
<Kit> <Aschae> Mm, the prisoners did the same thing over less.
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... 6* She quietly shifts her shoulders
<Kit> <Aschae> For gain and claim of others and property minute and small..
<Pariah> * Ingrid shakes her head as what was said to her pierces through her deep thought, "I'm sorry. Twenty gold for cure and day's watch."
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... 6* She adjusts her arms and blades slide out into each other, flipping them
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods, moving to search himself for gold, then pauses. "Hm, I think it's at the inn." 6* He rises again and moves once more
<Kaelan> * Seth rises, moving along with him, he guides the girl toward the inn with an arm about her shoulders.
<Pariah> * Ingrid nods and follows, "It is better not to carry too much on person."
<Kit> <Aschae> Oh? You use knives?
<DeathStar> <Faile> I use anything that's light.
<DeathStar> <Faile> Besides, a man never expects a woman to suddenly slide a knife out at his groin
<Kaelan> * Kaelan moves over to Faile and Aschae quietly. She jerks a little at that remark.
<Kit> <Aschae> They rarely expect anything other than their legs to spread or their mouth to open.
<Kit> <Aschae> At least in that regard.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile peers at Aschae, but nods in agreement.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I've found a good kick in the middens works too."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas moves along, seeing the others ahead of them.
<DeathStar> 6* A merchant moves from his booth, his coin purse dangling on his hip as he moves off
<Kaelan> * Seth moves along with him, he seems unfocused, eyeing everything around them.
<Kit> <Aschae> Hm, is that so? Usually the answer to that is a cuff to the face.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Kick them hard enough they're too winded to do anything of the sort."
<Pariah> * Ingrid's attention is absorbed in simply moving forward and limiting the nessesity of doing it for any longer then she would need to.
<DeathStar> 6* Some kids approach the merchant, eyeing his coin purse
<DeathStar> 6* Faile watches the man, but doesn't move to help him - probably thinking if he is dumb enough to have his coins out like that, he needs a lesson.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan looks over slowly, she absently pulls some of her hair in front of her face, obscuring her dead eye.
<Kit> 6A line of narrow thread with a makeshift hook from wire lowers down behind the merchant, the hook dangling back and forth to slow draw toward the purse.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas stops by the others, taking a breath in greeting.
<DeathStar> 6* The merchant seems oblivious as he moves along; though the kids not so much. They squint up, trying to figure out what's happening
<Kit> <Aschae> That was rarely a permanent solution in captivity, miss Kaelan." 6She smiles.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan looks at him, she leans over to look into Thomas' face in concern. "How are you?"
<Kit> 6Nephilim sits on the edge of one of the buildings, with the thread on the end of a stick, looking like a fisherman as she hooks the purse and gently pulls up.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Just tired; I'll lay in bed the rest of the evening and read my notes like a good boy. Ingrid's treatment was thorough
<Kaelan> * Seth yawns a bit and stretches, his hand ends up on Ingrid's ass when his arms go back down.
<DeathStar> 6* The merchant moves onward without his coin purse; the boys stare and point, mouths open like witnessing a goddess at work
<Kaelan> * Kaelan giggles. "Okay."
<DeathStar> 6* There's a sound of thunder in the clouds, and Thomas peers up curiously. "Hm, I did not think the desert got many thunderstorm."
<Pariah> * Ingrid hops a step forward with an eep in surprise and embarrassment at the unexpected contact. She looks back at him with a scowl, "How rude."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas blinks, glancing at Ingrid. "Did I do something?"
<Kaelan> Seth> "Mmm... we may need to make sure we know where that stone is." *he smiles at Ingrid innocently*
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas pauses, eyeing Seth, then nods in understanding; Faile flips a knife, eyeing Seth menancingly
<Kaelan> * Kaelan peers between Ingrid and Seth, then frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* AS Neph gets the purse up, she'd find 200 gold
<Kaelan> Seth> "I-I assure you it was just an accident."
<Kit> 6Nephilim reels in her catch by twisting the stick until the line is up to her and smiles, winking down at the kids.
<DeathStar> 6* The kids hoot and seem to try to climb up to get near her; at that moment, Neph would see a group of Templars approaching the others' posiiton
<Kit> 6Nephilim whistles down to them, a three-note series that's unique enough. Aschae squints upward, though not understanding.
<Pariah> * Ingrid looks unconvinced, "I will wait for payment at the inn," she turns to leave for the inn at her uneven pace.
<Kit> 6Azhren arrives finally, rubbing his forehead and looking worst for wear.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan frowns and looks around. "That's Nephilim..."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers up, then frowns as well. "Does anyone have 20 gold on them?"
<Kaelan> Seth> "I do mate, let's get inside and pay her." *he looks about a moment as well*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I mean on you now
<Kit> 6Nephilim tilts her head, then drops coins down at Thomas, 20 pieces worth. Aschae holds out her hand, catching them one by one expertly with the single hand before they hit him.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I have his gold."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas blinks, then bows to Nephilim; his eyes scan about
<Kit> <Aschae> What is the urgency for currency?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Same urgency we have in moving away from here I think."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I believe someone is coming. 6* He notes, then turns and begins to move away from the inn; a moment later, some templars round the corner the opposite way of Thomas, approaching those by the inn
<DeathStar> 6* Faile rises and makes the knives vanish, eyeing the templars with a puzzled frown
<Kaelan> * Seth and Kaelan make their way after Thomas as well.
<Kaelan> Seth> "That girl went for the inn..."
<Kit> <Aschae> Was she in some sort of trouble?
<Kaelan> * Seth and Kaelan are moving away from Aschae.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas turns off onto a side street and stays in the shadows, taking breaths. Faile peers at the approaching templars, by the inn still herself
<Pariah> * Ingrid walks in the inn unless stopped by something
<Kaelan> * Setha nd Kaelan duck into the side street with him, getting into the shadows, they look at each other, then hope the others aren't known yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile eyes ASchae. "You going to hand me the gold to give to her, or are you going to give it to her?"
<Kit> 6Aschae turns her head to Faile, saying matter of factly, "1Oh." 6She holds out her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile takes the gold, then turns to eye the templars move inside the inn, approaching the innkeeper adn beginning to hold up drawings of Thomas, Seth, Kaelan, Nephilim, and Azhren and asking questions. Faile walks in calmly after them
<DeathStar> 6* Faile steps over and plops the gold into Ingrid's hand, then turns to go, cutting her eyes toward the templars
<Pariah> * Ingrid nods and thanks Faile, her eyes darting between the templars and the person she's talking to as she does.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas waits for everyone to join them in the alley, dabbing at his forehead with a cloth
<Kit> 6Aschae follows Faile silently, wearing her new outfit, with a mantle and hood that can keep her face and upper body out of the sun but not drown her in heat.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile turns to go; as the innkeeper points at Faile and Ingrid, the templars turn to eye them. The innkeeper rubs his greedy hands together
<Kaelan> * Kaelan shifts the bow and arrows on her back to Seth, freeing the load off her back.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile steps out of the inn, even as the four templars approach, one shouting for her to stop; three move after Faile, while one begins to approach Ingrid
<Pariah> * Ingrid gives him a blank stare. An emotional response would suggestion involvement and her primary feeling at this point was annoyance which was nothing the templars enjoyed.
<Kit> 6Aschae mumbles with a chuckle. 1"This seems troublesome.."
<DeathStar> 6* Faile, once on the street, breaks off into a run, not going the way the others did, perhaps to lead them away.
<DeathStar> <Templar with Ingrid> You---you treated these people? 6* He holds up the drawings
<Kit> 6Aschae laughs softly, heading after Faile with longer strides almost like leaps, graceful in a different manner than Faile herself.
<Kit> 6Nephilim tilts her head at the scene from above.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile shifts around merchants and whatnot; Thomas spares a glance, seeing the templars chasing the two women, and frowning
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We need to speak to Nephilim about finding how she got here
<Kaelan> Seth> "Mmm... only three came out."
<Pariah> Ingrid> "I am a simple nurse, I prepared salves and carried the materials."
<DeathStar> 6* Faile and Aschae manage to lose the three as they move down the streets; Faile uses people to her advantage to weave in and out, and looks for a place to duck in
<DeathStar> <Templar> Did you treat these people, woman? 6* The templar asks Ingrid again.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Ingrid's still in there."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> They should not harm her; as long as she does not lie, she did not know who we were when she treated us
<Kaelan> Seth> "I'm about to pray that she does... the girl didn't seem fond of Templars."
<DeathStar> 6* Faile finally ducks into a side alley of her own, waiting silently; after seeing the coast is clear, she begins to work her way back toward the others, trying to move silently
<DeathStar> 6* The clouds overhead begin to fill the sky, darkening the area, as more thunder is heard.
<Pariah> Ingrid> "I looked after a man that I had assisted in the treatment of to ensure the salves I had prepared worked."
<DeathStar> <Templar> ... And was that man one of these people? 6* He shoves the papers in her face. "And if so, what was his ailment?"
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "We need to find Nephilim then..."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> She should be on the roofs above us still. 6* He cranes his head up, trying to see
<Kaelan> * Seth peers up and scratches his head. "We need to get her attention."
<Pariah> Ingrid> "This one," she holds up the paper, "He was suffering from posion contracted from the desert. His companions contacted the healer that I assist."
<DeathStar> 6* The templar nods, then turns and marches out without another word, rejoining the other three templars; the four begin to move out, looking everywhich way
<DeathStar> 6* Faile slides up beside Thomas, Seth, and Kaelan, brushing a lock of hair back. Thomas frowns, not seeing Nephilim. "We should get to some horses to purchase."
<Kit> 6Nephilim drops down beside Thomas after bounding off the walls a few time to slow her fall.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan nods, motiong down the other side of the street. "Far from here." *she says softly*
<Kit> <Nephilim> What for?
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas jerks, peering at Nephilim.
<Kit> <Nephilim> It'd make the journey to the crystal shorter, but then you'd be leaving some horses in the middle of the dessert. Poor horses!
<Kit> NRP: Desert
<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, the city gongs can eb heard, and people passing in the street stop, as if never having heard warning gongs before.
<Kit> <Aschae> That is rather cruel. For a scholar.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I-- ... 6* He jerks back at the two women, and the gong. Faile looks up
<Pariah> * Ingrid sighs in annoyance and then leaves to return to her home.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan looks around. "What... is that for?"
<DeathStar> 6* The gongs seem to indicate enemy forces are approaching.
<Kit> <Aschae> Interesting...
<Kit> <Nephilim> That's a sound to be somewhere else soon.
<Kaelan> Seth> "War bells...? But who would be attacking this of all placed?"
<Kit> <Azhren> Good question..
<Kaelan> *places
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... we must get out of this city now. Nephilim, please lead us. We do not want to get caught between two opposing forces
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Agreed, last time we ended up in prison."
<Kaelan> Seth> "Nuege wouldn't attack this city first... surely... it's mostly Templars."
<Kit> 6Aschae nods, taking up a second cloak from under her mantle and drapes it around herself to shield her legs, stomach and hips from the sun as well.
<Kit> 6Nephilim nods to Thomas, then turns and begins to scurry-- faster than a casual walk, winding her long scarves over her mouth and part of her face, pulling her bandana down a bit as well, but for the most part doesn't seem to mind covering the rest.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas and Faile follow; they cross ahead of Ingrid, and she would notice them heading to the north city gate. Another boom is heard, and a deep voice speaks. "This is your god, Amazo speaking. Allies of the angel are in this city, and they have led Nuege soldiers here from Soniere Prison. Find them, and I will defend you from these forces."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan pulls the hood of her new cloak up over her head and Seth just moves out, they both follow Neph.
<Kit> 6Nephilim doesn't pay any attention to the voice, either not hearing it for some reason, or ignoring it like many things that don't garner her interest. Aschae peers up, her eyes opening some. 1"Oh, well that sounds hardly fair at all for the Nuegans.."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan mutters something about feeling framed as they move along quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* The people in the streets begin to panic at 'Angel' and 'Nuege soldiers'. Merchants begin to close up shop, and people are heard calling for their kids to usher them inside. Templars move about as well, heading to various gates.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm, Amazo... it would seem he doesn't care about Lenneth's word, or Lenneth's word is no good.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Or it's another God General who likes to act on his own."
<Kit> <Aschae> Well, like a bunch of kids-- they never did all play well."
<DeathStar> 6* A few templars can be seen riding on horses their way; one boy is in the middle of the street, crying for his mother, and not noticing them approaching
<Kaelan> * Kaelan tches and rushes forward, scooping up the kid and bringing him to the side of the street.
<DeathStar> 6* If Kaelan is to successfull save the kid, she will face...OG! PREPARE YOURSELF
<Pariah> * Ingrid tries to follow Thomas and Faile. Regardless what was happening these people were about to get out of dodge and she wanted to hitch a ride. Now was certainly a better time then later to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Left, Right, Up, Left, Right.

<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan manages to save the child, but gets hit by the horse hard, sending her falling down painfully with a damaged arm; the templars stop to peer her way, then point. "One of them1"
<Kit> 6Aschae inclines her head slightly, having started to move, but then instead shifts after Kaelan and leaps upward between the horses and spins quickly to try and dehorse both of them before he can shout rather than just point out
<DeathStar> 6* The kid runs off without thanks to Kaelan.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan mutters, picking herself up and pulling her hood down, she reaches for her sword instinctively hearing the man's voice.
<DeathStar> 6* The templar is caught off guard by Aschae and knocked off his high horse, and the other is hit and left off balanced on his horse; Ingrid would find no trouble catching up now
<Kit> 6Nephilim changes directions abrubtly, much like a fish in the water, immediately springing up and backfliping to kick at the one offbalanced, immediately going for her knife and aiming for the back of the neck with her next move, only to be stopped by Aschae's staff's blunt end to her neck
<DeathStar> 6* Faile moves up and yanks the other rider off his horse, shifting to climb on top of it
<DeathStar> 6* Faile blinks as Nephilim moves faster than her
<Kaelan> * Kaelan moves over, pulling herself up on the other horse, Seth leads Thomas over.
<Pariah> * Ingrid calls out to them, "Hey! You can have your gold back if you get me out of the city!"
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas moves over to knock out the one Nephilim got off, then peers at Ingrid
<Kaelan> Seth> "Move quick lass!"
<DeathStar> 6* Faile climbs up the horse now, peering at Ingrid while blinking. She pats it and whispers to the horse
<Kit> <Nephilim> What?" 6She grins. Aschae stares at her. 1"How unkind." 6She shifts, using a turn and her whole body's momentum to swing the staff down against the diaphragm of the other, aiming to knock the wind out of him and render him unconscious like Thomas.
<Kaelan> * Seth meanwhile helps Thomas out, sending a fist for the templar's face.
<DeathStar> 6* Aschae knocks out the other one, while Seth punches an unconscious man
<Pariah> * Ingrid nods and tries to hustle as best she can onto a horse
<Kit> <Nephilim> Yep, Seth's still crazy.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Are you sure you want to travel with us? 6* He warns her, while Faile helps Ingrid onto her horse
<Kaelan> * Seth looks sheepish. He then gets up on Kaelan's horse.
<Kit> <Aschae> We're not all going to fit on these are we...?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> No, we won't. 6* He eyes Azhren's size
<Kit> <Nephilim> I'm as fast as a horse." 6She sniffs.
<Kit> 6Azhren glumly twitches.
<Kit> <Aschae> You're also the size of a grown child. You'll tucker out before long.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Oh a little squishing and squeezing... yuo're right." *he gets down* "Thomas, on this horse."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas shifts to climb up onto the horse with Faile and Ingrid. "Better to ride with the two women."
<Kit> 6Nephilim hrmphs at Aschae.
<Pariah> Ingrid> "I will leave the next town we come across. I do not wish to be a burden."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I fear we would be the burdens on you.
<Kaelan> Seth> "You'll be surprised how far we go, beautiful."
<DeathStar> 6* There's one more spot for a female on Seth and Kaelan's horse
<Kit> 6Aschae moves over and shifts, leaping up and landing gently with little disturbance.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Graceful as ever."
<DeathStar> 6* Faile turns the horse to face Nephilim, waiting for her ot lead; the streets are empty, thankfully, as people would scream at their actions against templars
<Kit> <Nephilim> Now who's unking?" 6She giggles.
<Kit> NRP: Unkind*
<Kit> <Aschae> Nonsense. When you tire out, we'll trade places. Are you not in the lead?
<Kit> <Nephilim> ..." 6She blinks, then grins and turns, springing off rapidly, even on sand.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan spurs her horse after Neph.
<Pariah> Ingrid> "Martial law under the templars is not an appealing option."
<Kit> <Aschae> Martial law under anything is unappealing..
<DeathStar> 6* Faile leads her horse after Nephilim; the sounds of fighting can be heard near the gate they came into the city - the west gate. The overhead dark sky booms again, as if Amazo sees them, and a lightning bolt strikes near their horses; the horse under Kaelan freaks out and tries to throw them off
<Kit> 6Aschae holds out her hand, uttering. 1"Shhh... There, there."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan tries to calm the horse, holding onto the rein's, Seth holding onto her, he gives out a comforting whoa.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas makes faces, holding onto Ingrid as best he can, while Faile rides on; ahead of them, they can see people in the streets, threatening to slow them down
<DeathStar> 6* The people scurry left and right, seeking places to be during this
<Kaelan> * Kaelan moves the horse on when it's calm enough, doing her best to keep it calm still as she does.
<DeathStar> 6* Nephilim can take the shortest route - through the crowd, or take a left or ride side street
<Kit> <Aschae> Keep the horse straight." 6She says, holding out her staff and holding on with one hand, closing her eyes and focusing, trying to create a column of wind forward that pushes outward against the people. Nephilim always takes the shortest route, slipping through and leaping over when necessary.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing seems to happen for Aschae, the thunderous clouds booming. Prepare yourself, Sera and Kit PREPARE
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down

<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Nephilim manages to go through the crowd without any problems, and the horses manage to do the same. They arrive at the north gate, where 10 templars are waiting, and 2 on horses. Azhren, meanwhile, lags due to his size
<Kit> 6Azhren damns his size, gender, one-armedness and general current well-being.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile eyes the two on horses, and charges at one. Thomas' eyes widen
<Kit> 6Nephilim doesn't adjust course, instead grinning before singing out loudly-- a haunting melodic tune as she widens her eyes creepily, gazing at the horses they're on then forward.
<Kit> <Aschae> Strange... nothing happened..
<Kaelan> * Seth grumbles and fiddles with getting his bow out while hugging Kaelan's waist. Kaelan holds onto the reins, shifting the horse as he gets arrow to bow and fires at the rider of the other horse, aiming for a shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* The horses twitch at the tune and begin to dance about; Faile slips a knife out and cuts one templar as she rides by, making him fall off his horse.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan then kicks the horse forward after Faile.
<DeathStar> 6* The templars curse, their swords drawn, and one slices out at Ingrid's leg as she goes by on Faile's horse
<Kit> <Aschae> Miss Faile! I would prefer you don't--" 6She swings her staff out, with reach, to club a templar. 1"--kill any!"
<Kaelan> * Seth adjusts the aim of his second arrow and aims it at the templar's arm, the one cutting at his new woman.
<Kaelan> * Seth fires of course.
<Pariah> * Ingrid cringes as her wooden prostetic is chopped by the sword
<DeathStar> 6* As Azhren arrives, he'd see see a free horse dancing about; the arrow hits the templar and knocks him over
<DeathStar> 6* With three down, the other seven turn to face Azhren, since Faile's horse has ridden on out of the city into the desert
<Kit> 6Azhren smiles, fortune finally smiles and reaches out to take the reigns, yanking down commandingly. 1"Calm."
<DeathStar> 6* The horse obeys; one templar charges at Azhren from behind, sword poised.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan keels heading out to the desert, Seth shifts a bit in his seat to fire another arrow at a Templar's leg before he loses his range of fire.
<Kit> 6Azhren shifts to get up onto the horse, peering over at the one charging him and eyes his horse, his face contorting angrily as he eyes it and bellows. 1"HRAAGGH!"
<DeathStar> 6* Another templar is hit in the leg, cursing at Seth, while the one facing Azhren jerks back.
<Kit> 6Azhren then calmly flicks his new reigns. 1"Hyah!"
<Kaelan> * Seth then hugs onto Kaelan, who glowers at the act and rides on after Faile.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Are you okay, Ingrid? 6* He asks worriedly, peering to look her over from behind as Faile rides on; Nephilim would begin to fall behind without a horse, unless Azhren grabs her on his way out
<Pariah> * Ingrid nods and holds onto the person infront of her in fear of falling off
<Kit> 6Azhren indeed grabs her by her scarf, causing her to flail like a caught animal and stare at him blankly, smirking.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile is in front of Ingrid; her body nicely shaped for holding in fear. After riding hard ten minutes, they put the city into the distance, but are still under the dark storm clouds. Faile finally pauses, so nephilim can begin directing them again
<Kit> 6Nephilim has Azhren ride ahead, heading north for those with any direction sense.
<DeathStar> 6* SUddenly, behind them, a storm of sand begins to stir up. Faile glances back, staring, not moving the horse forward from shock
<Kaelan> * Kaelan follows after them, she looks back, then kicks the horse forward to follow a lot faster.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Bloody persistent isn't he!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas fingers the brown gem on his neclace, then yells at Faile. "You must hurry!" 6* Faile jerks, then turns her horse to follow the others, riding as hard as she can as the storm picks up size and speed
<Kit> 6Aschae turns her head back toward it, her hood flapping back and off her head as her face furrows.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan drives the horse as fast as it will go, holding on tight, Seth holds on tight to her sides and chest, finding them most comfy to hold onto. She doesn't seem to mind as she races on with the horse.
<DeathStar> 6* As the storm chases, it launches some huge boulder like object ahead of them, dropping it in front of Azhren's horse with only a few seconds reaction time to spare
<Kaelan> * Kaelan starts angling her horse around it as she sees it come in at Azhren. "AZHREN! LOOK OUT!"
<DeathStar> -3-
<DeathStar> -2-
<DeathStar> -1-
<DeathStar> 6* Azhren's horse smashes into the boulder hard, throwing him and Nephilim off
<DeathStar> 6* Faile's eyes widen; Azhren's horse stumbles in pain, but hasn't fallen over, but the storm is catching up if he and Neph don't get back on it fast
<Kit> 6Azhren growls throatily, hurtling Nephilim back atop the horse before stumbling to get to his feet, made harder by sands about and one arm, lurching to try and drag himself back up-- Nephilim's no help with her strength and size and his weight and size.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile keeps riding north, peering at Azhren in last place now as he gets back on; another boulder launches right at Kaelan's horse
* Kaelan steers her horse around, attempting to avoid it.
<DeathStar> 6* The boulder impacts where the horse was a moment later. Thomas hakes his head, and Ingrid can hear him mumbling about insanity
<DeathStar> 6* As Azhren and Nephilim ride again, a hand made of sand reaches out, trying to slam down on top of them and grip them, if they don't jerk left or right
<Kaelan> * Kaelan grits her teeth, spuring the horse on, focused on getting out of the storm for now with her two passengers.
<Kit> 6Azhren yanks on the reigns-- being one armed, it's to the left.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, there's another thunderous boom and the sky clears and the sandstorm vanishes as if it were never there. Faile slows, peering back all wide eyed
<Pariah> * Ingrid has her eyes closed and grits her teeth, there's nothing she can do but hope the people at the head of the horse knows what they're doing
<Kaelan> * Kaelan slows as well, looking back. "What...?"
<Kit> 6Aschae pauses, lowering her staff now audibly chanting but trailing off. 1"..."
<Kit> <Nephilim> That was fun!!
<Kit> 6Azhren heaves a sigh.
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... are you mad, elf?!
<Kit> <Nephilim> NoooOOooo... I'm happy!
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "That's our Neph... but... what happened?"
<Kit> <Aschae> Indeed she is. Hm.
<Kaelan> * Seth peers back at Aschae. "Was that you, beautiful noviate from my dreams?"
<Pariah> Ingrid> "At least it was brief."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas is breathing heavier now behind Ingrid, the heat probably affecting him and the riding.
<Kit> <Aschae> No. I was only going to try to burden his form by dousing it with water and making it heavier. I never got a chance-- Beware. Amazo is hardly known for being less than relentless.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile's nostrils flare a bit at Nephilim, but then eyes the quiet desert
<Kit> <Nephilim> Hee. The fiesty girl is fiesty!
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "We dealt with Harbinger, believe me, we know how these gods can be... we need to move on then."
<DeathStar> 6* The evening skies are normal again, with the sun slowly setting in the distance. Faile turns to move north again with her horse
<Pariah> * Ingrid takes out a rag and wipe's Thomas' forehead with it
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas blinks, then smiles. "Thank you.. Ingrid."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan starts trotting the horse after Faile's.
<Kit> <Aschae> Something is wrong. I cannot say what.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Oi! Ingy! Your leg alright?"
<Kit> <Nephilim> Onward! Go forth, golem!
<Kit> <Azhren> ...Golem?
<Kit> 6Azhren scowls, flicking the reigns.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan giggles at Nephilim.
<Pariah> * Ingrid takes a moment to reconize Seth is talking to her an registers distaste of the nick name on her face, "I know know." She pulls up her dess a few inches to look
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to have a chip in it, but not too bad as long as she walks carefully
<Kaelan> Seth> "Aww, don't like the name? I'll stick to Ingrid."
<Kit> <Aschae> Actually, I think I have something that may be sturdier.
<Pariah> Ingrid> "Good," she says to both her leg and Seth
<DeathStar> 6* A bug flies about Neph's head, but then moves on to bother Kaelan's dead eye
<Kaelan> * Kaelan brushes it away annoyedly.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Sturdier?
<DeathStar> 6* The bug flies back around and tries to run into Kaelan's dead eye
<Kit> 6Aschae withdraws the railing she was using for a staff earlier from her cloak-- bent in three places to make it more compact.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan ducks her head and swats at it. She grumbles. "Stop it..."
<DeathStar> 6* It tumbles from the swat
<Kaelan> * Seth reaches around her head and ties something around it, angled over the dead eye, a makeshit eyepatch. She pauses and puts her hand to it.
<Kit> 6Aschae holds out the railing, smacking it to straighten it at the center, then tosses it up and chops it with her hand, severing it in two with a hollow 'clunk.'
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas studies it, then Ingrid's leg
<Kit> <Aschae> Lash this to it and she needn't worry about it breaking at a crucial time.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "...You may live another day Seth."
<Kaelan> Seth> "Thanks, my lady." *he chuckles*
<Kit> 6Aschae stows the other half, probably never knowing when something like a metal bar or tube might come in handy.
<Pariah> * Ingrid frowns, disliking it when her prostetic gained attention but let Thomas inspect it.
<Kit> 6Nephilim peers over at Seth.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas takes the one half, to use later if Ingrid wants
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* After traveling as best they can in the dark, once the sun sets and the glittering comes out, they stop for a brief camp; the sounds of movement in the desert can be heard, probably lurking with monsters.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas is asleep already, looking completely exhausted, while Faile eyes the darkness with a frown
<Kit> <Nephilim> Mmm, more scorpion stew.
<Kit> 6Nephilim wiggles her fingers, as if considering venturing out.
<Kaelan> Seth> "Could work out for us. I've got a good bow now to hunt with."
<Kaelan> * Kaelan sits by Thomas, currently working with some cloth and bits of metal from the old armor.
<Kaelan> * Seth leans back, looking at Ingrid. "How about it, Scorpion Stew?"
<Kit> <Aschae> Hmm, miss Kaelan, you're a smith, right?
<Kaelan> * Kaelan looks up and nods, "Yes... nearly at my mastery in fact."
<Pariah> Ingrid> "I will eat whatever is offered."
<Kit> <Aschae> Would it be too much trouble to affix some small plating to these gloves and the bottom of my sandals?
<Kit> <Azhren> You are planning to go out in the dark?" 6He eyes Seth.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I might have the stuff left for that." *she smiles a bit, holding up her work, it appears to be a stronge crown of sorts, with only one ecelon sticking up, rather long too.
<Kit> <Aschae> My. What in the world is that?
<Kaelan> Seth> "Used to be the time to go hunting if you wanted a good haul. Mind you, you took friends and rarely went out on your own."
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Oh..." *she turns it upside down* "Armor... with an eyepath."
<Kaelan> *eyepatch
<Kit> <Aschae> Oh." 6She says matter of factly.
<Pariah> * Ingrid is sitting at the edge of the light from the fire with her back propped on a large stone sticking out of the ground. She has taken her prostetic off but hides it in her dress.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Too many people stare at my eye... and there was a bug earlier..." *she frowns*
<DeathStar> <Faile> So the gods want you all dead. This angel business is really true then
<Pariah> Ingrid> "Gawking is just what people do."
<Kaelan> Seth> "Yep, we're the ones who follow the Angel."
<DeathStar> <Faile> And where is the angel now, if you follow her?
<Kaelan> Seth> "...The gods captured her."
<Kaelan> Kaelan> *gets a sullen look and goes back to her work*
<DeathStar> <Faile> If they have her, now will you rescue her?
<Kaelan> Seth> "I'll tear---" <Kaelan> "Yes, we will."
<Kit> <Nephilim> She's learning to be an adept from lady Templar Zeal. Although they keep singling her out and I think they're training her like an acolyte.
<Pariah> Ingrid> "If they have her, why would they keep her alive? Isn't she the great threat to their rule?
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Zeal's... Zeal's making sure they don't brainwash her like the others right?"
<Kit> <Nephilim> Technically it doesn't say anything about their rule. Just that she'll destroy the world.
<Kit> <Aschae> Huh. Funny way of looking at it.
<Kaelan> Seth> "If you think about it, you destroy the world, you destroy all the Gods have dominion over."
<DeathStar> <Faile> ...
<Kit> <Aschae> Depends on how mighty your god is. Suppose they could just make a new one. If they made the old one to begin with.
<Kaelan> Seth> "An excellent reposite, my dear Aschae."
<DeathStar> 6* Aschae will feel a chill through her, like when she took the final oath to get the powers of the gods. Like hands running through her mind
<Kit> <Nephilim> Hey, youuuu!
<Kit> <Aschae> Aschae, miss Nephilim.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Yeeeah. Teach me magic!
<Kaelan> * Kaelan lets out a giggle.
<Kit> <Aschae> I'm not certain I..." 6She trails off, frowning intently.
<Kaelan> Seth> "She'll love you eternally and sing you siren songs if you do."
<Kit> 6Aschae doesn't acknowledge them, as if staring into another world entirely.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Ms. Aschae?"
<DeathStar> 6* As if ASchae herself were chanting the magic, there's a brief glow and the ground around them begins to become a sinkhole. Faile jerks
<Kit> <Nephilim> Heeey! I'm talking, so you should listen!
<Kaelan> * Kaelan gasps, grabbing up Thomas she rushes for solid ground, Seth grumbles and grabs Ingrid, rushing to safety as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas snorts as he's tugged and tried to be pulled by a female
<Kaelan> * Kaelan keeps tugging. "Azhren help me here!"
<Kit> 6Nephilim jerks, then reaches into the fire with deftly precise grabs, tossing pieces of the firewood out, making a makeshift path of wood. and scampers along it toward better ground
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas opens his eyes tiredly. "What...?"
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Sinkhole! Move!"
<DeathStar> 6* Faile shifts after Nephilim, using the wood as well
<Kit> <Azhren> I--" 6He moves to get up, eyeing the ground in shock, trying to do as Kaelan says
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers at his leg getting pulled down, but is helped free by Azhren and Kaelan; the sinkhole thankfully isn't very big, and they manage to get back
<Kit> <Aschae> ... ...
<Kaelan> Seth> "What in the blazing hells were you thinking!"
<DeathStar> 6* The touching in Aschae stops for now
<Kit> <Aschae> ... Hu hu hu..
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "...Aschae, you need to ignore the voice, keep it walled out."
<Pariah> * Ingrid is only able to register what happened by the time it finished, "Wha-..?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> What---in the world happened?
<Kit> <Aschae> Hu hu hu. Being schooled by the children. Shame on me.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I don't know for sure... but... Aschae? Did a god try and make you do things? Like talking in your head?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... 6* He looks at Kaelan, then at Aschae
<Kaelan> * Seth peers at Kaelan now. "...And I thought I was crazy."
<Kit> <Aschae> Try? Oh yes. I did that by myself after stopping them.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Aschae did that? 6* He eyes the sinkhole
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "...Why...?"
* Kaelan pulls the circlet around her head, putting it in place, a metal patch over her dead eye.
<Kit> <Aschae> Hm. I'm afraid I am 'faile' with sarcasm. Hu hu hu.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile crouches wariy, while Thomas looks thoughtful
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "...Oh good..." *she sighs in relief*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm, they say those who take the oaths to get the magic, the final oath seals their body and soul to the gods for their use as they wish
<Pariah> * Ingrid looks around for her prostetic
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "So it's different then the possession?"
<Kit> <Aschae> There is certainly some truth in that, likely.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Hm. On second thought, don't teach me magic!
<Kaelan> * Seth lets out a roar of a laugh.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 5.24.2389
<DeathStar> 6* After riding most of the next day, they finally reach what appears to be a sandpit that has a Nephilim sized hole dug out
<Kaelan> Seth> "Three guesses that we're here?"
<Kit> <Nephilim> We're here!
<Kaelan> Seth> "I win!"
<DeathStar> 6* Faile eyes the hole with a sniff
<Kit> <Nephilim> By the way... teach me magic!" 6She bounces by Aschae, who stares.
<Kit> <Aschae> The only way I know requires the oath, chil--
<DeathStar> 6* Behind them, sand begins to rise up, forming a sandbody of Amazo
<Kit> <Nephilim> So what! I'm immune!" 6She boasts.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan shakes her head and dismounts. She turns and stares. "...We need to use it NOW."
<DeathStar> <Amazo> So this is how you travel, insects.
<Kit> 6Aschae stares, bewildered, then peers back at Amazo, squinting.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas frowns and hops off the horse, holding out his hands for Ingrid to get down
<Kit> <Aschae> How rude. You're very crude in the manner of invading my privacy, Amazo.
<Kaelan> * Seth gets off the horse, staring at Amazo.
<Kit> 6Nephilim hops over and crouches, digging like a cat with her hands to widen the whole for some.
<DeathStar> 6* Amazo waves his hand, and Aschae's mouth closes, and her hand rises to begin to form more magic - likely a wind spell
<Kit> 6Azhren makes a face and tries to help.
<Pariah> * Ingrid nods in thanks as she gets down
<Kaelan> * Seth reaches out and grabs her hands, holding her down by her sides.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile slips her knives out as she gets down, eyeing Amazo warily
<Kit> 6Aschae tries to wrench control of her arm holding her staff and strike her own head hard enought o break her own concentration
<Kaelan> Seth> "Resist the damn woman."
<Kaelan> *oath, woman
<DeathStar> 6* Faile eyes Seth hold Aschae's arms down, so she moves over to slam her knive into ASchae's head to knock her out; Amazo begins to approach, growing bigger like the sandman
<DeathStar> 6* Thankfully, for Azhren and Nephilim, they make the pit bigger, the stone visible below
<Kaelan> * Seth picks her up in his arms, moving for the hole.
<Kit> 6Nephilim raspberries Amazo and drops down.
<DeathStar> 6* Sand grabs Faile's leg and begins to make her sink
<Kit> 6Azhren topples in after slipping
<Kit> 6Azhren reaches for Faile on his fall
<Kaelan> * Kaelan steps back towards the stone as well. "Everyone to the stone. NOW."
<Kit> <Nephilim> No.
<DeathStar> 6* As Azhren reaches, his one hand misses Faile's hand as he falls into the hole. Amazo begins to approach the hole quicker
<DeathStar> <Amazo> You cannot escape me, insects
<Kaelan> * Kaelan reaches out and tries to pull Faile back.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas helps Ingrid into the hole and onto the stone
<Kit> 6Nephilim points. 1"Daisy chain to fiesty girl! As long as we're touching I can take us!"
<Kaelan> * Kaelan grabs hold of Faile if she can and then reaches out for someone else.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile's hand grips Kaelan, but she's sinking faster, and Kaelan can't get her out
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas moves to take Kaelan's hand, reaching out toward the stone
<Kit> <Nephilim> Faster! Haven't got all day!
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Ingrid, take my hand!
<Kit> 6Azhren makes a face and steps on Thomas' foot, then falls face first in the sand, reaching out as far as he can toward the crystal
<Kaelan> * Kaelan graps Thomas' hand, Seth puts Aschae at Neph's feet and then grabs Thomas' hand and pulls Ingrid to him, reaching out for the crystal when she's against him.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Eyes you all make a confusing line up mess*
<Kit> NRP: That was long after me!
<DeathStar> 6* One way or another, on top of Azhren or not, they form a chain gang toward the stone
<Kit> 6Nephilim takes the hand of the last, kneels to touch Aschae, then closes her eyes and pictures the Navarro crystal
<DeathStar> 6* Amazo begins to sink Faile further in as he begins to reach for Kaelan's head now
* Pariah has quit IRC (Quit: Client Exited)
<DeathStar> 6* Right as he's about to touch, they appear in the underground area of Navarro
<Kaelan> * Kaelan lets out a breath, looking at Faile.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile looks down at herself in confusion at being free, then around as if she can't seem to understand how she got there, or where there is
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas lets out a breath of relief
<Kit> <Nephilim> See? Teleported.
<Kit> 6Nephilim beams at Faile.
<DeathStar> 6* Nephilim would feel weak adn tired now
<Kit> <Aschae> ...
<Kit> 6Nephilim then teeters and holds her head dramatically.
<Kaelan> Seth> "She did tell the truth."
<DeathStar> 6* Aschae would stir, and no longer feel Amazo's touch
<DeathStar> <Faile> ... 6* She eyes Nephilim like she were some tricky elf.
<Kit> <Aschae> Mm... that brute's gone..." 6She sighs, shaking her head
<Kit> 6Aschae pauses as she stands and catches Nephilim in the process of falling
<Kaelan> * Seth looks up. "Well... out of the frying pan and into the fire... welcome to Navarro everyone."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers at Nephilim falling over, then sighs, knowing they need her intel to figure out what's up in the city. Thomas moves to climb up onto the street level with a ladder
<Kit> <Nephilim> Wait!
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas stops
<Kaelan> * Kaelan moves to follow, she pauses and looks at Nephilim.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Watch your head." 6She giggles.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Nephilim, where is Zeal being held? Do you have any plans on where we should begin first to help her?
<Kit> <Nephilim> Zeal..? She's at Braddo--ow! Ow!"
<Kit> 6Aschae blinks, loosening the grip of her fingers on Nephilim. 1"Sorry."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I see. ... lets find an inn and recover, then we can talk
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers out the inn window; the streets of Navraro seem tense and people are walking warily about for more Nuege attacks . Rumor has it that the Nuege soldiers are still about the city, hiding
<DeathStar> <Thomas> So Zeal, Mercy, and Jean are at Braddock's mansion; and Rachael is at Valen's. Do you know what happened to our equipment?
<Kit> <Azhren> ...Amazing how us Nuegans who rarely cross the border are suddenly as thick as the mist.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Yeah! It's in Valen's basement.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan sits, eyes closed. "So we need to go pay Valen a visit first."
<Kit> <Nephilim> He's got guards.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas frowns. "It may be practical to go to Valen first..." 6* He looks like it pains him to say
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "And Braddock doesn't
<Kaelan> ?"
<Kit> <Aschae> I can handle a few guards.
<DeathStar> <Faile> And will the gods let you near the angel? 6* She speaks up plainly.
<Kit> <Aschae> Miss Faile, too, I should think." 6She smiles.
<Kit> <Aschae> Hm... that depends on the gods, doesn't it? Like I said, they tend to be like bickering children whe--
<Kit> <Nephilim> Lenneth's watching Zeal!
<Kit> 6Aschae stares. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... 6* He lets out a breath
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "...Well we're going to at least need Animas then."
<Kit> 6Aschae shrugs helplessly with a sheepish smile. 1"Hm. I don't think 'Aschae the Fallen' will be very welcome if miss Lenneth of Heroes is the one in charge..."
<Kaelan> Seth> "Woman said she pardoned us. Then didn't bother getting us out of Soniere."
<Kit> <Nephilim> I don't like her! She silenced me! Couldn't even sing!
<Kit> <Aschae> She's much more eloquent than Amazo.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Lenneth... seems interested in avoiding more bloodshed."
<Kit> 6Azhren quivers slightly, watching them all speak.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile studies Azhren silently
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "She attempted to get me to collar Jean before."
<Kit> <Aschae> She is not the lady of war, yes.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Once we move to get the equipment, or Rachael, I imagine Lenneth will be alerted to us, if she's not already
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Maybe it would be best if one of us spoke to Zeal indirectly, to let her know we're here, so we can coordinate this at once
<Kit> <Aschae> That would be wise. But coordinate what, exactly?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> While we go to get the equipment and Rachael, Zeal can get Mercy and Jean out of the mansion. Then we can all use the stone to escape
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Sounds like a plan."
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Assume she already knows we're here."
<Kit> <Aschae> Hm. Smooth and simple. I'm impressed, Sage Thomas.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Thank you; now we just need to decide who can speak to Zeal with the least amount of attention drawn
<Kit> <Nephilim> That'd be me.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "That's easy, the one who's been spy--- yeah."
<Kit> <Aschae> Definitely not m--" 6She peers at Nephilim.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Alright, so Nephilim it is. 6* He nods, sitting down on the bed tiredly
<Kaelan> * Kaelan considers and sits down on the side of the bed. "After you rest."
<Kit> <Nephilim> Aww. I'm fine.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "I meant THomas."
<DeathStar> 6* Faile flips a blade in her hand, making a sniff sound at 'fine' from Nephilim
<Kit> 6Nephilim jerks, looking hurt at Kaelan's response, then eyes Faile.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Nephilim needs rest as much as I; that stone can't be easy.
<Kit> 6Aschae moves to a corner of the room, sitting and crossing her arms against her chest.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan reaches over and strokes the hair over one of her ears. "I'd only consider you ready to quit when you say so... but did you want to rest?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We all should probably rest; Nephilim can speak to Zeal tomorrow, and then tomorrow night we can act.
<DeathStar> <Faile> If the angel takes this final oath thing, then she's tied to the gods, right? How many are there?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Three.
<Kit> <Aschae> Admittedly, you seem to know more about the nature of the oaths than I, Thomas.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan lays back, giving away her own tiredness now as she closes her visible eye. "Let's hope she hasn't taken them already then..."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> A God General must... know a lot about the church
<Kit> <Aschae> Hu hu. An Acolyte not?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I suppose so; I confess I do not know how fast one can take the oaths, though.
<Kit> 6Aschae opens her eyes, looking grimmer than she has to date. 1"Fallen, indeed. Am I already beyond salvation?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> But they would no doubt fast track the angel to bind her
<Kaelan> Seth> "Using any means nessecary."
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas glances at Aschae. "Nonsense. I do not believe that."
<Kit> <Aschae> The oaths I've taken. Theirs to manipulate. And yet the magic bestowed is unstable unless they wish it, it seems.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Maybe the angel can help you undo the oaths when we free her
<Kit> 6Aschae shakes her head. 1"Thomas, I'm afraid I might be of less help than I initially thought."
<Kaelan> Seth> "Probably best not to call on the power of the gods while you're opposing them for now."
<Kit> <Aschae> It matters little whether I do or not.
<DeathStar> 6* Faile tucks away a knife, peering sidelong at Azhren, then at Aschae
<Kaelan> Seth> "Mmm... she has a way of marking her followers. Maybe it'll undo what was done to you."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... 6* He murmurs something about 'tomorrow'
<Kit> <Aschae> Mmm. You assume I'm a follower of the angel?
<Kit> 6Azhren is peering out the window toward the Navarro palace.
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "He doesn't need to. My father was executed as a father simply for being related to me. You're a heretic already in their eyes."
<Kaelan> Seth> "Sally would probably be the same way if she wasn't a Templar." *he gets a distant look in his eyes, probably wondering if she's alright*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ...
<DeathStar> -END-
