Arianna gave an irritated sneer at the statue. Useless.

The only question was whether it was useless and harmless or useless and in the way.

See if there's any clues at to how one might reach the stairs without flying; perhaps a lever or clue on the statue's pedestal? Train Swords.

Black Leather Sheath: Looks to be made for a one-handed longsword.
+6 Cursed Evil Two-Handed Sword: Intelligent, evil sword; broad, double-edged, and two-handed, embellished with silver and emanating raw evil. Demands a piece of soul to function.

((Juha and Bremen in danger, not much of a surprise. ))

[Tiruin]

((I love how you write those little details. Really, I do.))

Stealth near Juha, give her the message.

"Juha. Juha! Can you hear me? Yeah, this is Ire - the monster from earlier who tried to strangle you. I've come back down to see if anything happened...

"What just happened and-"

Just scream if you need help.


...Blah.

They'd probably be training or doing any other thing, and then ascending the tower anyway.

...


What in blazes are you doing?! Call for bloody help, girl!
Ace said it himself; not in a condescending way, mind you, but in a concerned way.
Juha and Bremen are in trouble. They are surrounded and the odds of people flanking them at this rate would lead to them being overwhelmed in the next...two turns or so.
What turns? We're acting on seconds and minutes here. Statistically, they've got only several minutes worth of lifespan if the attackers are smart enough to utilize the weaker hand - if you get my drift. Their efforts will peter out over time and the combined forces will crush them just as it did their slavery.
Seems possible, but then supposing they're after the corpse? Perhaps if they just retreated and charged at the two, they won't stand a chance like that Draconian over there. Besides-


"WOULD YOU ALL SHUT UP?!"

Tactical resonance, accomplished. My comrades, we have done good.
I told you it would work! Emotional duress!
Alright, I can feel her blood pressure rise. Let's stop now.

What the hell is wrong with me...


Ire screams for help, if you haven't noticed.

Spoiler: Ire Fidel (click to show/hide)

Age:27
Gender:Female
Appearance: Ire is a tall woman with jet black hair that falls to shoulder length, tied in a braid. She has dark brown eyes that match her light complexion. She is garbed in a light grey cloak with leather armor underneath.
Background: Known to be a deviant person, Ire was brought up with knowledge of the law and it's rapport with the common people. Living her life as a lone vigilante in the prime cities, stopping would-be-muggers and thieves, she has learned most of her own skills from the people she tracks.

Ironically, she has never taken a life nor stolen without repaying back, in anyway whatsoever.

Due to all this, she is partly allergic to rope.

Sir Trevor Kahn

Gender: Male
Appearance:  See next spoiler
Background: Sir Kahn is actually an undercover knight who has been infiltrating a clan of raiders for the past five years in hopes of busting them in the act of some really big scheme they clearly (don't) have in mind.
Attack: 9
HP: 35/35

Equipped: +2 Shocking Plus Spear - Shocks enemy on a roll of 5 or 6
Mountain Bandit Clothing
+4 Marble Dwarven Mountain Armor - It has a 16.66% chance of impeding an action. It's also fake, because Sir Kahn is obviously not a dwarf.

Inventory: A thin pendant of silver, a disc with a hexagon beveled in.
Black Witch Robes
Books of Hexing

Abilities: Simple Hex (Must be drawn on an object. It has a random effect, ranging from cursing the target (1~2) to making the target stronger and tougher (4~6) to making a large cloud of smoke (3).)
Appearance Changing Hex. It is applicable to either self or another, and the appearance is decided by the caster.
Disenchantment Hex (Takes a long time to draw and requires a precious sacrifice, but works 100% of the time. It disenchants one to six objects maximum. The order of disenchanting can't be chosen. Sometimes, disenchanted magic with nowhere to go leaves behind its essence.)
Animate Jack-O-Lantern (With a sufficiently prepared Jack of the Lantern, Kahn may animate it with a simple hex that works roughly 66% of the time, and induce it to spit fire (on a 5~6), jump at people (on a 3~6), self-destruct on command (on a 6), and slowly drain the life energy of nearby people (on a 6). The number of features is random, but usually sacrificing something increases the number of features.)

Ace glances down at his now widened wounds with an incredibly puzzled expression.
"How the-"
Just then, Ires scream rang out from the floor below. He stood up.
"Oh, just fantastic timing."
He cringed a bit at his statement as he went down the stairs.
It's not her fault.
When he arrives, he calls out to Ire.
"Have no fear, The Gunslinger is here!"
That was awful.
Head down the stairs, bandage self with the licorice.

Arianna ? thinks the statue is just tall enough for a good leap to let someone catch the end of the stairs.

1 She swings a sword around, and it hits her. 2 bonked-on-the-head damage.

Ire whispers, what she had to say.

3,6->1 Juha says, "I don't care if you're a monster or not, just ... help!"

She is distracted, and someone smashes a plate into her arm. 3 damage is dealt, and she starts bleeding from the shards.

Ire screams, and is immediately noticed by the rest of the mob. They eye her, wondering who she is affiliated with, and if she's a target too.

Kahn runs down the stairs and leaps over the railings, clearing the floor and landing in an upright ready stance. He pushes his way through the crowd and takes up position next to Ire, able to render help immediately.

Rod walks leisurely downstairs, and runs his hand along the sterling silver railings. He knows from experience that sterling silver isn't that good a material to make hard things with, but he rips it out anyways. 5 Five sterling silver railings obtained.

Ace 6->5 shocks and awes half of the mob with his brilliant proclamation! 1 Said half of the mob is now attempting to get to him and probably stab him with those bits of metal they are holding. They take issue with his thoughts.

2 The licorice bandage slips off.

[Tiruin]

"Juha! Bremen! Move!"

Orange pentapus, don't fail me now! I know you won't leave me!

PALM BLAST WITH THAT ORANGE CHASER AT THE CROWD!

The Red Fiery Chaser will act as a ward on Bremen and Juha. Or on Lotusia's corpse, if that is the crowds' distinct target.

Order Juha and Bremen to get out of my palm blast area of effect.
