Skyrim-based break is over, and on that note: why, wolfchild? :(
MAGICZathyran threw more lightning about at the closest imp he could find, before writing 'These imps do indeed have some for of weakness to magic. Intriguing.' in the grimoire of the wanderer.
"Why do i always meet people in this way?", Malleus muttered as he tried to freeze an imp in an pillar of ice: both uses if it gives an bonus
BASH IMP #3 UPSIDE THE HEAD! NOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Murder imps.
"Well it seems I bumped into you at the right time, Before you ask, we can exchange pleasantries with each-other AFTER the imps here are dead" Alora then proceeds to twist an imp's pitchfork out of it's hands by trapping it between the two "prongs" of her weapon, and twisting

Shrug at his new compatriots, offer a small wave as he continues to trudge upwards
Stand silently and move with the rest of the group. Like a baus.

Talk to Greenmoore, light pipe, advance onwards
Despite the appearance of a new challenger, Imp 3 was unfazed and went right for her! (7+3 vs 4; 1 Massive Failure, counterstrike; 8+1 Critical Success, 2d6x2+25%; 15 damage) But Alora was more than ready for it and thrust her lajatang out, catching its throat in the 'arc' between one of the crescent blades and slamming it against the wall! (-2 MP. 6+2 vs 1; 6+2 Massive Success, 2d10x2+50% + 1d10x2+50%; 36 + 9 = 45 damage and kill) While it was pinned to the wall, Zathyran channeled lightning into his palm and pressed it against the imp's chest, finishing it off in his usual manner. While everyone focused on the other imp, he casually found a place to sit and make a notation in his book about the general weakness of an Imp to magic.
Seeing one Imp left, Claire went stab-happy! (7 vs 1; 7+4 Critical Success, 2d6x2+75%; 28 damage and 14 regen) She impaled the imp, headbutted it off of her blade, then slashed it again as it fell back. Malleus, sensing an opportunity to try out his new book, went for it! (-4 MP. 2+2 vs 4 (6+2 vs 8) (3+2 vs 4); Minor Success, 1d6+50%; 6 damage. 8+2 vs 3; Massive Success, 2d6x2+50%; 24 damage. 30 total and 2x overkill) He punched the ground and an icicle emerged under the imp, impaling it and freezing it solid. He immediately followed it up by summoning a large block of ice and launching it at the imp, shattering it into a thousand pieces. Everyone observed the result as Malleus shook his hand, a cold mist still rising from his gauntlet from the extreme chill of his spell.
"Definitely weak to magic," Zathyran noted dryly, closing his book and putting it away.
In the other tower, the larger members of the party were watching the new ones; Frenz silently, Biernat quizzically. Tariq, as could be expected, was none too happy about getting dinged upside the head by a large Slovakian nobleman first thing upon awakening and was quick to mumble about 'uncultured savages' as he took in his new companions and surroundings. Alexander and Desmond engaged in a minor verbal scuffle about faith and how far they were prepared to go for the sake of their mission; while doing so, Greenmoore sprinkled sea salt on his chicken leg and Alexander lit his pipe and pulled the hood of his tunic up to hide his face - save for what was illuminated by the soft glow of the embers of his pipe, of course.
(Tariq: 8.) "Ah. Here it is," the watchman said, kicking aside a dead body. His lucky arrow had fallen out of his quiver while he had been unconscious, but he had been sure it was in the vicinity. (Tariq gains: Tariq's Lucky Arrow! Once per fight, Tariq can use this arrow in one of his bows. It takes one MP but guarantees a Massive Success, although this does not count as an 8.) It was different from his other arrows in the fact most were made of darkened wood but the shaft of this one was a very pale, silverish sort of color, with a black feather instead of a brown one. He tucked it away. While Desmond and Alexander talked, Frenz and Biernat led the five back out to the main room and up the stairs to the second floor.
This, instead of a large circular hallway, appeared to be cross-shaped. There was a door on either side of them immediately after reaching the landing, and past the intersection appeared to be another set of doors. Where did they want to go?
