[CrimsonEon]

Olison also approached from the eastern street, with Derick in tow.
: "Ah, looks like the fighting's over. Good."

[Powder Miner]

Alexander somewhat slowly reentered the world of consciousness, but when he did, he immediately heaved himself off of the ground, and then leaned on the wall until the poison wore off, clenching his teeth- but still thanking the troubadour who had healed him.
: "Rrrnng... thank you."
Alexander looked around.
: "Huh... Guess it is over."

[freeformschooler]

: "Spectacular work!"

Charlotte made the trek back when she realized her comrades had won. She then tilted her head in Captain Leon's direction.

"We will begin an investigation at once - an army doesn't slip through city gates unnoticed. I know you might be in hurry, but I'm asking you mercenaries, to stay at the Inn until tomorrow and don't leave the city."

: "Oh- I'm sorry to inconvenience you, but we actually came here on some, er, 'ambassador' work at the library. I'm afraid we don't have time to dilly-dally, so I'd quite like to finish up with Tiron and Grigorij before we nod off."

[Sirus]

: "We're all alive and the Temple is safe. I'll call that a victory any day!"

He picked up Daniel and administered basic first aid until a healer could take care of him properly.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris hooked an arm around Morko's neck and pulled him closer, pushing the blade further into him as he did, until eventually their foreheads touched and he locked his eyes on the dying man's.

"...Like I was saying to Gregor, one side had to live, the other had to die. Rest easy. Your death ensures - for a time, at least - the lives of your men. Agus a chríochnaíonn sin do ról sa dráma seo. Dea-oíche."

The shaman died, and Chris closed his eyes for him before pushing him to the ground. He wiped his sword clean on the last purple spot of his robes, then sheathed it and rubbed his forehead.

"Is everyone all right?"

Chris asked Gregor. He could see more of them... more importantly, he could probably see Ami from his position. While waiting for a reply, Chris moved to Tantallos to check on him.

[Sirus]

: "Daniel got hit pretty hard. He bought us time, though, and he'll be fine with a little rest. Sir Jorinn is already on his feet, as you can see. Ami and I are fine."

[Furtuka]

"I've been better, but I'll be fine once the poison wears off. This nice lady took care of most of my injuries in the fight."

[Sirus]

: "Good to see you in one piece, Derrick."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Good. And it looks like you got your wish - those two lancers surrendered when their commander fell. Although that does prove my point about leading; he did indeed lead through fear. Now that they don't have to worry about what he would do if they quit, they gave up. If he had had their respect... they likely would've fought harder after I killed him."

Tantallos seemed to be all right if a bit stunned, so Chris helped him to his feet and hooked his arm over his shoulders so he could walk him back to the group. Once there, it was clear the shaman could stand on his own, so he let go of him.

"In any case, what do you propose we do now?"

Seyena had landed and asked if everyone was all right, so the spy nodded to her.

"Stung and bitten, but I'll live. Mainly thanks to Charlotte giving me an item to raise my magic resistance temporarily."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"..You know... there is something he said that was unexpected. He said that ancient magic was a "tool". What are these shamans doing to this culture?"

Tantallos shook his head a bit and gave a weak shrug.

"Looks like my family was right about this after all.. but what is done is done."

The shaman gave a quiet laugh and looked down for a moment.

"Even if I was almost killed by a Carrion tome.. I will still look for one around...hehh,heh"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"It's all in the viewpoint, Tantallos. If what you want is to destroy and subjugate, then yes... magic of any kind is a great tool for that."

He put a hand on the shaman's shoulder.

"I would have grabbed his tome for you, but... I'm afraid I might have thoroughly soaked it in his blood. Tends to happen when you stab someone in the heart."

[Gamerboy4life]

Seyena listened to the discussion, before gasping aloud, and pulling out the poisoned dagger from a saddlebag.

"Hey, Chris, you might like this. This sort of thing seems right up your alley." She said, holding up the sharp blade gingerly, trying to avoid getting the poison on her. "I almost forgot about it."

[Sirus]

Gregor eyed the dagger warily.

: "Where on earth did you find...never mind, I probably don't want to know.

"Oh! Were all the townspeople warned about the attack?"

[Praefectus Screptum]

"That is the problem, Chris. Some of us are trying to prove the others ancient magic is not "evil", but there are too many people around using it for evil. But if you stop to think about it and use this logic, every weapon would be considered "evil" when they are used for destruction."

Tantallos gave a shrug and slowly crossed his arms.

"Well.. maybe we can find one at the library."

[CrimsonEon]

Gregor eyed the dagger warily.

: "Where on earth did you find...never mind, I probably don't want to know.

"Oh! Were all the townspeople warned about the attack?"

: "I believe so, Seyena and I did rounds to the south while you held up here. Good thing too, some blighted looters looked like they were ready to sack whatever houses they happened on."

: "We should get back to the Library, this is no place to idle."
