Everyone begins to go, before the mist suddenly coils, swirls erupting out over everyone, powerful winds blasting into all of you.

Strength checks, all.

The blasts of winds send several flying - including Emily - cast about in all directions. About half of Jarem's forces are, but the rest of you stay in position.

"Don't think that was the right idea," Bastian growls, holding position against the winds. "Wizard something at it!"

Alyssa begins to chant!

At this the mists swirl and slow - the winds stop, though the swirling hasn't stopped entirely.

[Iron Dragoon]

"A continuous effect, likely. We'll need to move."

[Anastasia]

"Aaah!" Emily manages to fly back as others rally, "We're alright, we can go."

"Good. Move, move," Jarem calls, "Forward!"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa does so!

[Anastasia]

As you fly...

"Excuse me," A cultured, urbane voice speaks up, coming from all around. "But what do you think you're doing here, good sirs and kind ladies?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"As dear Emily would say, striking against evil. Is assume you're the Inevitable Marut? Or a Lieutenant of his?"

[Anastasia]

"You come and invade and you don't even know my name." The voice is a faint chiding.

"You harbor slaves of the efreet, free souls who deserve better," Emily declares loudly, "This won't stand."

"I am a creature of business," The voice retorts, "I deal in gold and goods, not steel and spell. Come, put aside this trouble and we can come to a profitable resolution for everyone."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I'm not entirely opposed to this, but unfortunately I don't think the price you'll ask will be something anyone can afford, considering what we want. Unless you think we can help you with your task."

[Anastasia]

"Then what is your price?" The voice asks as every one pauses, listening and on guard.
