[GiglameshDespair]

Tirriam, for her part, was completely and utterly unsurprised. A curious hair colour, though. Green was not a normal shade for humankind.
"Greetings, princess."

She considered ways of keeping the secret. An easy route would be to loan the princess her Hat Of Disguise.

"The task should be achievable. If there are no explicit dangers you know of, risks may be minimal. 2000 gp costs in not minimal, but costs may accumulate. I would ask for a reward increase of to 12000 gold pieces and the recuperating of any reasonable expenses incurred in the protection and transport of the princess."

Diplomance at +12 for bartering.

[PrivateNomad]

"Hello."

[17+12] It comes to Tirriam that the King seems to be willing to pay a large sum of money if it means his own daughter's safety.
"You drive a hard bargain against the King of Braveheart..."
"12000 gold it is!"

[Sirus]

Anderson ignored the princess.

"Will you be providing the carriage, sire?"

[PrivateNomad]

"Of course. If you need men, then you can have some. But do not take too many people lest you attract attention to yourse-"
The King stops when a man with purple hair and eyes runs in from the left out the door.
"SIRE!"
"Court Mage Achronus, what is the meaning of this!?"
"Faejuran forces have snuck through the secret passageway under the castle! They have infiltrated the lower Keep and have disabled the anti-magic field!"
A warm orange glow shines through the window as a searing heat is felt by everyone in the room.
"IT'S A FIREBALL! GET DOWN!"

[Silthuri]

Aland lunges at the princess, wrapping his wings around her, attempting to shield her from the fire.

[Sirus]

Duck behind a solid piece of cover! Manifest Mind-Blade (free action)! Also Hide if possible.

[Tawa]

Get the hell out of the way! Unsheathe bow!

[Nerjin]

Head for cover

They all jump away!
They can hear shouts and footsteps coming from the large double doors at the bottom and from the small door to the right.

The princess lets out a scream as Aland lunges at her in protection, flames scorching past them.
"F-Father, what is happening!?"
"Stay close to the adventurers, Lily! They'll keep you safe!"

Achronus stands and casts his arm out, yelling at the party:
"We must protect the royal family at all costs! Be ready to die for your nation, adventurers!"

Tirriam gritted her teeth and clutched onto her hat as the blast threatened to knock it off her head.
"With due respect, it is much more efficient to make the enemy die for theirs."

"Aland, keep the princess hidden behind you. I believe it is best for us to leave now. What is the best way out of the castle, your majesty?" Her tone was remarkably unhurried.

[Tawa]

Move four squares east. Prepare to shoot.

Aland releases the princess."Forgive me for frightening you, your highness." He says quickly. "Please stay behind me. Keep as quiet as possible." He does his best to hide her behind him as he glances back and forth between the doors and draws his greatsword. "We need to move. Now."

"I-It's alright..." she spurts out. Aland can feel her shaking in fear of what to come, and her skin feels cold despite the searing flames that just roared past them.
"They will break in at any moment now! Prepare for combat"

Indeed, they can now hear a force bashing at each door except the one on the left, where Achronus's lab is.
