Jewel looked to his friend, nodding with a smile in thanks. Rurail, always there to help him. He felt happy again that his friend was chosen to go along the same que--adventure as he himself was.

The elemental looked back the human, Daeth. "I regret, I no know you say last, friend help. Quest small but big appearance I. Help I offer, Thales no fight. I grab wing if try."

[Beta Party | Docks]

Daethwin licked his lips before responding, watching the elemental's face. "What language do you speak? Not common, I can tell. I'll probably know it; being a scholar has it's uses." He didn't wait for much of a reply before finding the passage in his book. "Here we go...As we wander through the night; all alone in our plight; none can help us, none can see; none can know what saddens we; everything is dark and still; nothing stirs and nothing will; something new must enter here; otherwise we'll only fear; touch of light, touch of flame; hear the crackle, say the name; take the magic for yourself; let the demons lose their health; once you've seen them, know them true; then they cannot bother you; take my hand and we'll be free; if you trust me then you'll see."
The magic was a simple one, but it would help. A song of awakening and healing. To beat away the darkness simply by looking inside it. The notes mend bones, the melody knits flesh, and the sound awakes the mind. "Feeling better, now, love? Perhaps a bit o' temperance would go farther then, in the future."

"Dead one, you got a nice bodyguard here. Be grateful for that Tarana gulped one of the anti-death potions she prepared before, drew her rapier and dagger and positioned herself near the death mage. While she would prefer to keep safer distance from him, that wasn't a right time to ignore an order from Myrln

I just need you to keep an eye on the ghouls. Make sure they don't get out of hand and start killing. They should obey you to a point.

[BETA PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYY]
Nathan snickered as Daeth confused Thales for a female, and laughed when he called him 'love'. It was just too funny to him

[Xanmyral]

"I speak Tradespeak." Jewel answered the question well enough, although he figured the language obvious... Maybe he's misunderstanding something again? There was that one word... Ah well. "You scholar? I warrior, craftsman." The elemental watched with interest as he saw the man do magic by reading off the book. "You work magic?" He guessed it was magic at least, why else would someone recite something very long straight from a book?

Zoah nodded to Myrln and motioned out the targets to his archers. He directed his swordsman to make sure nobody got too close to anyone in the midst of casting spells. The rest of the combat duties the angelborn could handle himself, and he pulled his spear from his hip. There was no doubt that the fighting would start up at any moment, they weren't exactly going about this ambush in the most stealthy of ways.

[Beta Party | Docks]

Daethwin's eyes narrowed at Nathan. "Something funny then, about waking up a girl who's been shot in the stomach? Get a laugh off that do you?" The bard didn't seem to act very consistently. This was on purpose. He needed to provoke reactions, find what people revealed in the moments as their emotions shifted. And he got some good ones with that comment. The guy thought it was even funnier, but was also confused a bit at the response... He spat to one side, and shook his head, standing back up. "Yea, I'm a scholar. A minstrel too, though I prefer Muse. That was indeed magic, good Thornton, but not a spell as such. Magic of music, it is." He stretched, shoved the book back in his pack, and poked at the angelborn with his foot. "Soon as she wakes, we can be off then, right?"

[Ross Vernal]

"Oh, I'd think you should get going as soon as they're done packing. Well, that would be now, actually..."

The giant had finished his calculation. The sound of boots coming up the stairs was coming.

"Preferably, before you have to answer sticky questions? I can attest to my shooting the angelborn just fine on my own, thanks."

He waved at the airship.

"Heh. Well, yes, I suppose you can, Renns. Then why don't we go?" He looked down at Thales, pursed his lips for a second, then shrugged and stepped over her. "Maybe have one of the fire giants drag her aboard?" The bard walked onto the airship, then surveyed his companions...

[Xanmyral]

[Beta]

Jewel rolled his shoulders a bit, ate the rest of the rock in his hand that he almost forgot about with the newcomer, then grabbed Thales and attempting to hoist the angel up, trying to prevent too much of him from dragging on the ground as the elemental got his unconscious body into the ship. "Adventure close!" He seemed happy, never-minding the fact that he's carrying an unconscious ally, too distracted by the fact that

[Alpha Party, Round 1]

Assent was reached. At an unspoken signal, perhaps the shared khef the party, they acted.

First up was Myrln, who would drop the concealing glamour and cast a blind at their opponents below, causing most of those below to be temporarily blinded. Nearly as soon as he finished the gesture, Neun would grasp his firestaff and cast a full-fledged Firestorm at them.

A Shin priest would drop to the ground, out cold, while one of the initiates would be reduced to so much smouldering meat from the overkill and a few fled from the room, not willing to tolerate such nonsense. And, cue the attack! On the way down, it would be noticed that there were several more Decaric priests. Too late to do anything about it now, aside from what was going on!

Morgred and Tarana would charge, with the wolves and ghouls leading the pack. They'd meet the priests, most of whom were still dealing with the burns and blindness. The wolves would divide and strike first; although the High Shinpriest would successfully avoid the blows thanks to his armor, the remainder of the pack would take down and start to savage three of their opponents, dropping them to the ground. Moments after, the ghoulpack would go after the priests, swiping with their claws at those standing and taking bites at the downed fighters. Another Shinpriest would lose conciousness from a ghoul taking swipes at him, and a quick command from Morgred would get it reluctantly up and away from the prone priest - no use tempting Fate, after all. The Shinpriest would prove his mettle by blocking the ghoul's attempt to strike at him, and would retaliate by smashing a morningstar into and through the offending ghoul's head, killing it instantly. Blind or not, he was still a damned good fighter. Instead of dealing with him, both Morgred and Tarana would take advantage of the ghoul-pile to incapacitate the third priest, giving him a few solid blows to the head until he went limp, then shooing the ghouls away and into a defensive position in front of them.

The archers under Zoah's command would pick targets of the two most-burned Initiates, and let fly. The first archer would put an arrow through an Initiate's eye, killing him instantly, while the other archer's shot would pierce the robes and lodge somewhere in the lung of the initiate. With six enemies down, it looked to be slightly better odds.

The last two to act were Zoah and his swordsman: after exchaning a glance, Zoah nodded, stood on the ledge, and readied himself for a jump. After the spells and arrows had been let free, he'd spring forth, legs extended and spear at the ready, for the high Corinthiian priest, rightfully assuming the man to be the biggest threat. His aim was true, but unfortunately for the angelborn, it would feel almost as though he were trying to thrust through cement, the weapon slowing down and slipping from the head to instead rake across the Corinthiian priest's shoulder [5 HP after soak.] It would likely impair the use of the arm, but that was a poor substitute for killing him outright.

The first to act  was the High Priest, who, with a few gestures, absolved the blindness of himself, the Shinpriest, and restored them both to full health. After taking in the scene, the two exchanged glances, and gave quick orders to their forces to gather in front of them as the High Priest readied another healing spell.

"By whose authority do you disrupt our ritual?"

The Shinpriest waved a hand, absolving the blindness of his warriors, who gathered to form a shieldwall, glaring at the party. Murmurs of spells being cast echoed in the small chamber, as the Corinthiian priests cast buffs upon their front-line protectors and readied counterspells.

For now, the retaliation wold hold, the front-line fighters readying a counterattack should further aggression happen. The party would have their chance to explain.

((Explain? Bwahahahahaha!))
((Just had awesome idea; time to fuck shit up.))
((Oh, and this is possible because if you remember the actual wording of a certain post of mine, I bound the souls of the people who I drove to suicide. I own them. Completely. Which means I should be able to draw mana from them... and the natural continuance of that is that I can Soulburn them.))

Morgred stalked towards the High Priest, accompanied by his ghouls and wolves.

Whose authority? Why, mine of course. And that's all the authority I need.

Morgred drains the mana of his strongest three ghouls to nothing, then Soulburning them into nothingness to obtain more mana. He uses said mana to fuel two spells: a life draining spell aimed directly at the High Corpriest and the other Corpriests, and a zombie raising spell to raise the three dead Corpriest initiates. NO mana of Morgred's is used in either spell.

((Let the carnage begin... how many ghouls do I have again?))

[Ross Vernal]

[Why yes, you DO have a mana reserve of soulfragments and Ghouls, as per PM events and stuff that's nobody else's business until you see fit to reveal.
