Relief

[Nephrite]

"You too." Moore says at Gyme. "You can stop pretending."

[Anastasia]

Gyme manages to slowly stir, beaten and bloodied. A cough, a pained one before a look of pure, unrestrained hate.

Cresiel goes to him and places his blade at the creature's throat. Not a word is said, a silent staredown before the fiend closes his eyes.

[Nephrite]

'Do we just knock them out and take them back or deal with them here?' Moore asks the others. 'We can put them to sleep or something with magic and leave with them easily enough. I will go retrieve the other two as well.'

[Anastasia]

'Knock them out,' Sylvie says immediately, over Rillea. A quick, sharp blow to her head does just that.

'Don't do it like that unless you know what you're doing,' Sylvie adds. 'Most mortals who try that cause head trauma or fatalities.'

[Nephrite]

'You handle it.' Moore says. A quick glance in the direction those two ran...

Can he see them? This place is still kind of special.

[Anastasia]

No, they went deeper in and as you said, it's a unique place.

[Nephrite]

Moore will leave the two of them and fly briefly down the hall and see if he can spot them.

He'll go like, a minute or two.

[Anastasia]

No sign of them - they seem to have skittered away.

[Nephrite]

He'll have to find them later. He turns around to return to the others.

'So, what's the verdict, leave with them for now?'

[Anastasia]

'Briefly return back to imprison them at Hope's Landing,' Xandra suggests, 'So nothing can conspire against our capture here. It would be unneeded to have to liberate them from imprisonment here or in Carceri only to take them to Hope's Landing to be potentially imprisoned.'

'We'd give the others more time to regroup,' Sylvie points out, 'But that may not be a bad idea. We have enough of the group to get information now.'

[Nephrite]

'Take them back.' Moore says to them. 'It isn't a long trip, I'll wait here and keep an eye on the entrance.'

[Anastasia]

Sylvie gives you the flattest, least impressed look you've ever seen.

'Cresiel, stay here,' Sylvie instructs shortly. To his credit, Cresiel is already taking position near Moore, ready to defend. Sylvie and Xandra levitate Gyme and Rillea up, heading back the way they came.

[Nephrite]

Moore sighs but doesn't object.

[Nephrite]

Plan will be to wait until they get back unless they contact him that there's A Problem.

[Anastasia]

Sure, gimme a d100.
