Areal in Dungeon

[thepanda]

"I'll help. However, without my magic I'm severely limited in what I can accomplish I'm afraid. I gather from what Lafiel said that you might know some ways around this magic scrambling field or something to that effect. Is this true?"

[kpjam]

"This castle was build in defense of magic.  They also left some artifacts that will nullify the effects of magic greatly.  These have been tested and showwn to be quite useful.  When the parties that travel are set, if you choose to go, I could supply you with one," he replied.

[thepanda]

Oh sweet baby Judas! I can get my psi back!

"Sounds like a deal," Arael replied quickly. More slowly she added, "What about the others that were summoned? Dart-girl wouldn't happen to have gotten them as well, would she?"

[kpjam]

Zaphiel looked askance at the young woman.  "Dart girl..?  Ah, Lafiel," he chuckled.

"One of your fellow saviours has come here, as I feel the others will as well.  Perhaps you could tell me about those you traveled with.  A way to approach them and enlist their aid would be more desireable than the others ways I had considered using to dispose of them."

[thepanda]

Arael noted the wording of the last statement with a bit of unease. 'Dispose' was something done to garbage, not people.

"I really don't know much about the others," she spoke truthfully. "Other than Miaka you could probably bribe the rest with money and battle." She shook her head, recalling her earlier opinion of several of the people meant to save the world. "As for the priestess..." Arael shrugged. "She doesn't seem the type."

"Who else is here, by the way?"

[kpjam]

"A young lady asked to speak with me--" he was cut off as a soldier walked into the room and whispered into his ear.

He looked to be considering for a moment before he stated to the soldier, "Show her to conference room.  I'll meet her there and ask Lafiel to join us."

The soldier gave a crisp salute and left.

Zaphiel turned to Areal.  "Your companion Miaka has questions for me.  Will you join me," he asked extending his arm in a gesture to the open door.

[thepanda]

"Miaka? Heh, figures." Arael stepped outside the cell, stopping once she cleared enough space for Zaphiel to exit.

"Lead on."

[kpjam]

Areal found herself in a small prison corridor.  One direction was a dead end and the other opened up into a room.  She noticed the two guards that had been in the hallway made no move when she exited.

She stopped as Zapheil nodded to her and followed the woman out the door.  He nodded to the two soldiers and moved down the hall into the main room.

Areal followed and in turn was followed by the two soldiers.

The larger room conisted of a desk that was currently occupied by a jailor who only nodded in deference as Zaphiel led them to a door that was on the left side of the room.

Areal could see there were two other hallways, each with a row of cells in them.

Zaphiel opened the door and led the three into another hallway.  He walked to his left, after entering the hallway(the only direction accessable).

[kpjam]

The three walked dow the hallway, passing up adjoining passages to the right until they reached an intersection that ended the hallway they were traversing over.  Turning left, Zaphiel led them upa staircase.  He turned around again, and went down the hallway, until they came to a door on the right.

He opened it and walked in.

Areal saw Miaka sitting a a large table, a soldier close by her side.

ooc:  Might as well respond in Miaka's thread from now on.
