Smith (Jaela, Calleigh, Surraruthru)

[Anastasia]

"Listen," Baleruk says.

Listen check.

[Corwin]

"Not really my specialty, but alright," Jaela agrees, boosting her hearing magically....

[20:40] <@Annerose> roll 1d20+11+15
[20:40] <Kobot> Annerose rolled 1d20+11+15 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{37}

[Anastasia]

It's badly muffled, but you can hear the cries of Infernal. Battle commands you think, and perhaps something else mixed in. It's coming from above the stone that forms the roof of the area you're going through.

[Corwin]

She raises an eyebrow. "Devils, fighting someone over there?" Jaela asks, jerking her finger towards the slab. "We going to reshape us an entrance and kill the fuck out of them?"

[Anastasia]

Baleruk licks his lips and says...

> roll 1d20+38 Baleruk listen
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+38 Baleruk listen --> [ 1d20=14 ]{52}

"No need," The dragon smiles, a terrifying thing that shows off shiny prismatic teeth, changing colors constantly. "The Blood WAR HAS ALREADY REACHED THERE!"

[Corwin]

"Idiots," Jaela scoffs. "Much as I'd like to go in, kill all of them and take their stuff, let's keep going to seal the breach. You've been doing a great job carving a path out of the fools that challenge you."

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Baleruk agrees, "And the best is yet to come!"

[Corwin]

Jaela grins at Baleruk, before raising her hand again and gesturing sharply ahead to get them all on the move.

[Anastasia]

As you prepare to move, a member of the Graceful Blow comes back. A pretty elf with blonde hair and a thin, almost ethereal figure. She curtesies to Jaela as she approaches, "I come bearing a message, ma'am."

[Corwin]

"From whom?" Jaela asks, businesslike regardless of how lovely elves are. "What's it say?"

[Anastasia]

"From General Ithea, ma'am," she says. "A message from Aurora was sent as follows: The archons have detected Pale Night's influence in events. Aurora is safe so far and has not been attacked."

[Corwin]

"So the ravens were probably hers," Jaela muses, holding in place while her detachment advances around her. "Thanks for the update. And keep up the good work!"

[Anastasia]

"Ma'am!" The soldier smiles before hurrying off.

[Corwin]

Jaela grins back at her before heading over to her position at the head of their force.

[Yuthirin]

"What's the plan?" Calleigh asks.
