((cue some dude stealing it, singing the 'trolololol' song as he makes his escape

also, joining the 'throw the seal in the void' club, because nothing gets rid of superdangerous artifacts like throwing them into magic anti-matter.

On a side note, void and creation should explode on contact, because explosions make everything better. Why is this not a thing?))

[Projeck37]

Isaac's projections wrap around the sigil and blink dagger respectively, and brings them to him. He slowly sits up, and examines the sigil.

[Akroma]

"Now now little apprentice hero, you should rest, stop with all the magicing around."

Icarus grabs the Sigil from Isaac, before helping him up.

"I'll get you out of here."

---

Once Icarus has cell-phone connection again, she messages Alucard.

Hey, we need a pick-up. Artifact secured, but Isaac needs tgo be patched up, so better notify Alice.

[Projeck37]

The sigil is being bound by a floating projection.
"I've had worse. And my magic has nothing to do with my physical condition."

[Akroma]

"Hey come on now, don't hold unto that. You are a sneeze away from being put into a coma, you should not be guarding this artifact. You are simply in no condition to."

((and technicaly until healed, he'd be at 0 health and unable to act ))

[Projeck37]

((I'm only counting that in combat.))
"It's probably safer in something that's bound to me, and can't be broken."

[Akroma]

((dude was just reanimated and had no healing magic, medical attention or even rest, he really shouldn't be quite so confident.))

"What, you playing the pronoun-game now, to make me ask about whatever you mean? Seriously now, you are hanging on by the flesh of your teeth, no need to act so tough. You were brave and all, but ultimately..well I have seen your performance in there. Leaving the artifact with you is a security risk. I don't mean to say you are weak or anything, but you have to admit, if anybody was to even just punch you in the face right now, he'd have the seal in under 10 seconds. We'll get you to Alice, let you get patched up and then we can discuss on where to put the damn thing, and you are welcome to offer opportunities, but until Alucard finaly checks his phone to give us a lift, and we are in safety, I would not feel comfortable at all to leave the thing with you."

[Projeck37]

((There's a reason that he seems less dead than the system portrays him to be.))
"Well, all that aside... Your phone probably doesn't work this far underground..."

[Akroma]

"Yeah well, the tunnels are long, I'll send the message soon, until then, just answer me one question. If anyone just appeared right now, absolutely serious about taking the arcane seal, willing to use lethal force, and probably has anti-magic avaiable to him as well, would you, at all, be able to even delay that person from just killing you and taking it? I have seen your magic, I am by no means convinced that it will keep anyone at bay that is being serious, especialy with your current medical situation."

[Projeck37]

"Simple. Throw a dome over myself, have it disconnect from me magically, and then they can't anti-magic the shit out of it. From there, slowly drill away."

[Akroma]

Icarus suddenly goes for a punch as fast as only a machine designed for combat can do, stopping only a hairs width before Isaacs face, then poking him painfully on a burn wound to drive the point across.

"Bam. You are dead, in an instant. You are not fast enough to react to an actual ambush, and in no condition to take a wound and just shrug it off. You are brave, I get it, but you are also in no condition for anyone to rely upon. Know your own limits. You carrying the sigil around in some kinda magic projection makes you a prime target, as the enemy will realise they need you dead to be able to grab it - and you are an easy target. Let me carry it under my chestplate, and let me take their ambush. I move and react much faster than you would, even if you weren't covered in burns and compression wounds, and can still take a hit. You can still go ahead and create a dome around us, but at least this way you will not instantly die."

[Projeck37]

"I get it, I get it. Just let me analyze the damn thing first, then it's all yours."
The projection drops the sigil into Isaac's hand lightly.

[Akroma]

"Eh. Do it fast. But from the general feeling I get, it might as well just be used as a source of energy to just power something else entirely."

meanwhile Icarus carries Isaac outside and messages Alucard to get them moving

[PrivateNomad]

As they make their way into the city, they notice a massive crowd of dwarves roaring outside the throne room's  door, yelling out in anger as a line of guards force them back with pikes.
ICARUS indeed finds that being a thousand feet underground gives then no reception.
