For the love of whatever you hold dear, don't stray from the light.

Kevas. Talia. Joe. Everyone here. Please say you're all fine.

Albel too, I suppose. At the very least mind what you point your sword at. If you can, refrain from attacking the people who are as captive as you are

What's happening here? Do you have any idea?

[Someone's been walking around with a fireball in hand lately.]

[sacredbrand]

If you mean, do I know what's attacking, then no, I'm sorry. All I know is the danger.

[Fireballin' fistbump! Except not because that would be explosive.]

[3wayforjustice]

That's exceptionally helpful.

[Fortunately, it's not really directed at her. Just in general.]

He warns us something's gone wrong, but refuses to elaborate. How are we supposed to manage?

[sacredbrand]

[And for Nel, this is just a tired old routine.]

We have nothing in the way of leverage against him.

[Holding a staffmember hostage wouldn't work unless they found a way to restrain the lot of them, or keep the others from interfering. Too doubtful and too many open endings to be worth risking.]

There's little to do but manage. The other option is to let the darkness take us.

[3wayforjustice]

That's not an option.

There has to be some other way to find out what's going on.

[sacredbrand]

You could always form a team. Explore. I would join you.

[3wayforjustice]

A... team.

I'll have to find the others.

[Because THEY HAVE A WHOLE PARTY NOW.]

Are you sure you'd want to come?

[sacredbrand]

Point me in the direction of any other pressing matters.

[3wayforjustice]

You mean you haven't left a stove on somewhere? Forgotten to feed a loyal mabari war hound?

[sacredbrand]

I don't have the luxury of a personal stove and have never seen a mabari war hound. I'm coming with you.

[3wayforjustice]

That... wasn't said in any seriousness, you know.

[sacredbrand]

I've been told that in times of duress my sense of humor has been lacking.

[3wayforjustice]

There's the understatement of the Age.

[sacredbrand]

In any case, tell me when you're leaving and with whom. I'll prepare accordingly.

[3wayforjustice]

I'll speak with Hawke.
