(I'll just replace the afk guy with an npc idc anymore)
charge the attack and write in the dirt about i'm just gonna hold it until a new threat arrives
Joey still charging his attack whilst walking inside the hallway.
"We survived? Wunderbar. I was begging to think we where all to be killed. Well done everyone."
Jonas gets off the ground and claps the dirt off of his hands.
"I'm ready to save the last man if you are."
Hope, Joey and jonas both head first inside the hallway. It seems like the mati is surrounded by the statue, though the mati didn't attack the statue for some reason. The soldier that was lying on the ground is now in danger because the mati who is being attacked by the statue is about to get killed and likely to blow up in front of his face.
"We need to save him before the mati blows up.
Current Map:Quest objective: Navigate the hallway room safely.
Optional: Save the soldier. +1 Hope trust [2/5]
Meanwhile:"huff puff Okay I'll deliver the soldier dudes, just gimme a minute to catch my breath..."
He takes another puff of the inhaler.
"...Okay, so I guess I'll rejoin you guys later then? Good luck saving Bori, and may tuhan watch over us."
Aethyrion nods to the others and then starts bringing the soldiers to safety while trying to locate the other team.
Aethyrion met with everyone else while carrying all of the injured soldiers into the forest.
Mona responds. "Contrary to the intel that we received, it seems that the Dark Lord follower is not an alchemist, but an esper, and a powerful one at that. I'm feeling kind of jealous to be honest. I'll also confirm the presence of multiple chimera as well as at least one other person of less interest. I suspect that they may have been trying to bluff us to appear more powerful than they actually are, but if they weren't, then I would not rate out chances of success as being good. Regardless, our plan is clearly not going to work now."
"If nobody has any better ideas, I would recommend trying to parley. I don't know enough about the Dark Lord to say for certain that this truly is their follower so this may be a misunderstanding. Seriously though, if you have a better idea please please tell us."
IF Nobody has a better idea, Mona will use her telekinesis to send one of her knives out into the open field, then carve words into the dirt reading: "Who do you work for, and why did you attack us?"
Mona carves the word on the field hoping for the guy to read it, but he seem to not be interested with the mystery gang. He didn't read the text.
