Too obvious look for something else that could be a candle, or at least a group that stands out
[4] You make a closer inspection, and find nothing in particular that stands out, aside the general lack of corruption. Does these candles somehow ward off all the evil outside.
Malgun lowered his rifle slightly, flicking the safety on with his thumb. "Ma'am? Are you all right? We're here to help; my name is Malgun Wispyr. This is Havor'e, and he's Dor'lek," he said, gesturing to each troll in turn. "Can you tell me anything about what's happened here?" He didn't want to press too hard at the moment; no need to start going on about demons and so forth, possibly upsetting the Sister.
[5] You flip the safety off and inquire about the going ons. This Sister looks at you wordlessly. "Can't you tell? We're in a realm created by a very powerful demon. There is no escape, not until it moves on after every last one of us is dead."
"It's just magic Zack, you can't use it so don't trouble yourself over how it works."
Taking a deep breath and steadying his nerves once more, he decides to go find either Frelock or Ochita. Maybe they are having better luck with doing whatever they were doing.
[5] You go off to the chapel, just because, you want to know more about this floating island, even if you can't understand it. As you enter you see Frelock charging a couple of guys standing near the front. What in the Nether is going on here?
Charge out and wordlessly attack.
[5] [(6+4-5)x2=10 damage] Charging out from behind your draw your sword. The two men turn around as the light reveals you. The one in the long cloak looks surprised to see you. As you bring rain fury down upon the one you expect to be the leader his cloak comes unfastened and flies across the chapel, stopping at the feet of Zack who appears to have absolutely no idea what is going on right now.
You look into the face of the formerly cloaked man, and fear enters your heart. It's the one who trained you, Marshall Light. What is he doing trying to destroy the city? This day just keeps getting worse and worse.
((You also just shredded two of the armor provided by the cloak, so your crit did in fact have an effect.))
Decline...
[2] "I'm afraid that, you never really had an option." Says the man as you hear the door lock behind you.
[3] With lightning speed Iemon is behind you and you feel a cloth being placed over your mouth and nose. You resist breathing in, but you have to breathe sometime, and Iemon knows it.
Dor'lek tries his best to look important as Malgun addresses him.
He asks her: "Do you need healing?"
[auto-success] "I wouldn't turn it down, but I can continue on for the moment. Right now it's important that we stick together and try to find some way out of this. . . place."
Enemy TurnsMarshall Light: [2] The Marshall can't keep up with the sneak attack Frelock unleashed and backs up, assuming a defensive position.
Hooded Lackey: [3] The Hooded Lackey, apparently being a coward, makes a run for the door until he sees Zack standing there. He begins fumbling for something at his waist.
