The streets are almost silent as you pass by tower after tower of lightning. Here lightning strikes and dances between towers. Great billowing, black clouds are about. There's no rain, only the fury of the storms.

Onward. Onward. Onward. Down three streets, a side street and more. Yet as you turn into another stone street, a figure blocks your way. A snakelike creature, humanoid upper body and the lower body that of a tail. He is masculine and scaled all over, lightning touching him to no harm at all. He has no weapon readied.

In Auran he declares, "Who comes? Who comes, new Stormdancers? Are you of Nature's Heart? Are you of the dancing many?" He speaks in a hissing, raspy voice. Then he stops on eyeing Cresiel, "Seven winged one!" He hisses, slithering back and away fast as he can.

Cresiel merely holds his weapon at the ready, gaze locked on the snake-creature.

"Peace." Is all Moore says as he continues his investigation!

The creature flees away, scurrying into a tower and slamming the door shut behind him.

Cresiel doesn't say a word, continuing on instead.

[Nephrite]

"Something is definitely going on." Moore says as they continue.

[Anastasia]

"Something has gone wrong here," Xandra says, "I see fear on every face I foresee."

"Good, they'll scatter easier when we intimidate them," Kaja says, a sharp smile on his face, tongue running over his teeth.

[Nephrite]

"We will get to the bottom of it." Moore says as he continues his search!

[Anastasia]

Winding down here now. I will post Yuth a little more since he's off today, though. Ran over as it is.

[Nephrite]

This is an acknowledgment as well as an excuse to post for later.

On and on. Past iron towers of lightning. Through clouds thicker than air. Ever onward in this strange, ozone laden silence. Through a cloud and another and another - and at last checking back, you see the end of the trail. The kidnapped are taken within the tower ahead.

It is an iron tower like the others, perhaps ten stories tall. It rises up amid the storms, uncaring of the lightning striking it.

[Nephrite]

"I have a feeling they won't just open at a knock." Moore says.

Regardless, he takes out his Teleport Blocker and activates it.

He walks up to the tower and bangs his hand on the door to it to announce himself.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel is at your side, silent and ready. The others are just behind you as perhaps stunningly, there's no answer at the door.

[Nephrite]

"You have ten seconds before we barge in." Moore says, loudly enough that any around could easily hear him. "Ten. Nine."

[Anastasia]

At four, the door opens. The figure there is squat - a jackal-man, yet hunched and dwarf like. A dirty thing, a foul thing clad in filthy pants and nothing else. He takes one look at Cresiel and screams. "GET BACK! GET BACK, SEVEN WINGED ONE!" he howls, slamming the door shut, "YOU'LL NOT TAKE MY SOUL THIS NIGHT!" His voice is high pitched, almost feminine.

[Nephrite]

"We are not here to kill you." Moore says, as kindly as he is able. "However, we witnessed golems and constructs bring friends of ours into this tower. I would like you to please tell me where they are, and, if they are not here, what was done with them."
