[Aklyon]

You see no rogues. They're deeper into the cave.

[Happerry]

Anoth Heals himself while sending his creations after Fyora that are running into the cave.

[Aklyon]

You aren't injured, Happery. only Ima and Haika are.

[Aklyon]

Haika (1+1, 1+1) is still foggy on plated artilas, and the remaining artila isn't worth keeping. Gah.
You all move slowly deeper in. It gets very dark very fast, and Hikari dashes out to grab a twig for someone to firebolt. Torch in hand, you continue on deeper in for a while.

After what seems like forever, you manage to find the remains of a dead fyora, which looks like it had been eaten by the cryoa to save itself. There is also numerous scratches on the wall, and many scorch marks. This cave is much much deeper than it looked before. Suddenly, a icy blast extinguishes the torch as several pools of oil are lit. You can see at least 20 fyoras running about, a few cryoas (including the one that got away being pulled into a smallish heap of dead creations.) and a drayk sitting on a makeshift throne atop the pile. It calls out to you five:
"Well, I see we have finally gotten some attention again, but not what I'd wanted. Is there a full, non-apprentice Shaper in this group?"

What now?

[Lie]"That would be me I am a full fledged shaper, Hikari Shizume, it is a pleasure to meet you, and may I inquire as to what your name is, or what you prefer to be called? I came here disguised as a trainee to test these recruits, and to see how powerful the creatures my colleagues made are, and now that I see for myself you are quite strong, and numerous." [/Lie]

((I am going to try, and bluff our way out of a fight no attacking please.))

[Aklyon]

I would say that could possibly work, but you aren't robed like the shapers are. add something about that you you might (or might not) succeed.

[adwarf]

Fixed it.

[Imakuni]

Get ready to get the hell out of there, if things don't turn out well.

[KaguroDraven]

Openly stare at the drayk and study it's form, until recent times it was the highest reach of fire based shapeing. mutter, just loud enough for it with it's good hearing to hear "Why in the hells did they bar the creation of such things?"

[Aklyon]

You may be making adwarf's bluff harder to keep up, or you might just make it like you more. Still need two more actions until we find out, though.

[Haika]

Haika will stay quiet and merely observe as he casts heal on himself. The artilas will be arranged defensively before him.

[Happerry]

Anoth frowns as he pulls his summons back to guard him, flanking Hikari like a good minion.

[Aklyon]

(6) "Good, they finally ran out of apprentice squads to shunt down here. Now go away, we'll stay hidden long enough for you to say these apprentices wiped us out. No questions will be asked now, I can tell you are still too pro-Shaper to be safe to tell anything to, Hikari Shizume. Also, to the curious one: ask Shaper Hikari, he should know. I doubt you'll be told though."

You do as you're told and return to the Shaping Hall., but what did he mean by 'pro-shaper'? Surely there can't be someone who thinks they can defeat the Council?
