"You seem to be the leader of this sorry group of men. Give us the girl and we'll be gone." *He shouted at the guard who had spoken up.*

*Nox, seeing that Arthur was injured, quickly ran his hand lightly across in of his daggers, drawing a small amount of blood. He reached him and put his palm on Arthur's back and uttered a quick healing spell, and quickly stood up and slammed Iapetus into the closest guard's face and settled into guard position, prepared to defend against the incoming attacks.*

*Bog was now faced in a one on one situation with the guard that was shield less, despite the fact that he was almost out of juice he would put everything into the last punch, yet again punching with his Blood Fist: Burst. He saw no merit in focusing the golem given it would die anyway if he killed the guard.*
Major
The Golems would attempt to tackle Arthur but would be intercepted as Nox gets in the way. The heavy weight and strength of the Golems however would pin Nox down as he blocks against them with his spear. That would leave Arthur open to the guards charging him for a cross-slash, one of them being the guard who spoke up earlier. Arthur had prepared himself before hand and doges one of them, but the other guard that had spoken earlier swings his sword at Arthur's neck but stops it just before it cuts him.
Bog would land his empowered fist against the guard, knocking it backward as its helmet caves in but after a few seconds it lies on the ground dead. However those few seconds allow the Golem to still exist as it swings and it lands its sword against the back of your head before dispersing into mana.
The guard who had spoken up would look at Nox in confusion. "Girl? This is the male prisoner's cafeteria time, there are no females here?! And even if it was the female's cafeteria time, 'girl' isn't exactly a good description either! Regardless, if this 'girl' is a prisoner here that you are trying to break free, then I'm going to have to refuse! I got your fox friend at choke point and you're being pinned by the golems. I suggest you tell your Mogash friend to stop resisting and take down the freed Mogash prisoner if he values your fox friend's life"
The freed Mogash looks over the Bog, and looks as if he is ready to fight "Look, I know you freed me, but if you are going to knock me out I will resist"

*Arthur saw one of the guards charge at him with a sword slash simultaneously with another, and only barely managed to dodge one as the other had caught him by the neck, abruptly stopping before it cut anywhere. Noticing how close he was to death, Arthur began to panick a little bit. He didn't want to die tonight, but at the same time, he knew what he was getting himself into. However, the guards hadnt been careful enough to secure his hands, leaving Arthur still with a good amount of options. If he tried to cast Hellfire Blades, the guards would obviously notice and take action. Plus, he wasn't on fire, which meant he couldn't even cast the swords. Daggers of flame would obviously go noticed, seeing as they would orbit his hand right after casting. Earth shot didn't seem helpful either. The only truly good option he had was to quickly cast Enveloping Hell, but then that'd defeat the purpose of taking a hostage. What to do, what to do...*

*Arthur suddenly came up with a plan of action, although he wasn't sure if it would work. He triggered his racial ability, allowing him to transform into a small black and white fox, leaving his armor and weapon on the floor. In his fox form, he darted back to Bog, and transformed back into his human form, albeit completely and totally naked.*

"Fools! You could have lived but you chose to die like a fool in this place!"

*As he the words left his mouth, Nox used all his strength and pushed, while jumping back and walking a few paces back. He pauses for a millisecond as if composing himself or dusting himself off, then suddenly rocketed into motion. First he runs toward the golem, and just as he reaches it, he slides under the golem's crotch and he thrust his spear full strength into the golem above him. As he exits out from behind the golem, he knew the other would most likely hit him, but he decided to blast the insolent self righteous bastard Oni commander. He channels his willpower into the runes on Iapetus, which will start to catch fire. In a matter of 0.8 seconds, the entire top of the staff was consumed in a ghastly blood-red fire. Then, a 6 foot-long 2 foot-wide, circular cylinder of red flame rushes toward the Golems and the ground between them; the visual effect is much like that of a flamethrower.*

"You may be the same race as me but my mission is more important than you. Not like you repaid the debt anyway, you got beat and saved a second time." *Bog wouldn't hesitate to charge at the Mogash, when he fought the golems he was slower than them, so even if he was faster now it would be unlikely that he was faster than himself. He would send a feint attack to his core following by a real one aimed at his face.*
Major
The guard would be too surprised by Arthur transformation, allowing Arthur to safely escape and run to Bog's side. He would curse under his breath "Damn you slippery fox!" But before he could start moving toward Arthur, Nox would push away the Golems and with his impressive strength pierce through the Golem's crotch, causing it to collapse and disperse into mana. As Nox expected, the other Golem would be swinging at him, but Nox is able to launch his fire spell from his spear that full envelopes the Oni Leader and get the Ice Golem in AoE as well. However, as it was noted earlier, the Golem doesn't seem to be particularly bothered by the heat of the flame. However it is slowed down causing its swings to not hit you hard, but still hit you nevertheless as it pommels you into the ground. The guard 'leader' would be hit by the direct effects of the spell and have his body heat up and slowed. However, due to the cold temperate in the area spared the guard from being burned to death right away.

As for Bog, he didn't even need to worry about the Mogash being faster. To Bog he was as slow as it came and the feint wasn't even necessary as Bog punches the Mogash's head and sends him flying across the floor. His body twitches for a few moments before going completely limp. 
The golem that pommeled Nox down to the ground would attempt a downward thrust at him. The guard 'leader' would be severely slowed as it runs over to Arthur, only making it do his high speed, but his sword swing is laughably slow as he attempts to swing it across Arthur's naked body. The other guard that missed Arthur originally would charge Bog with his shield and longsword at the ready and attempt to swing at Bog's arm with the aid of a buff spell.

*Arthur would smirk im amusement as he saw the guard run over to his naked body. The guard leader was unbelievably slow; it was almost comical! Arthur had enough time to a bunch of mental gymnastics wondering what he should do nextto swiftly kill the guard. Holding out his right hand, he cast Daggers of Flame, summoning 4 flaming daggers to encircle and orbit his right hand. As the guard swung, it was as if he were in slow motion; the swing was unbalanced, weakened, and ridiculous. Swiftly sidestepping to the left, Arthur decided to push the man over so that he would land face first onto the ground. He would still try and get some information out of him, but just in case he didn't answer, Arthur was prepared to shoot all four of the daggers straight into the guards' skull cavity.*

"Hey," Arthur said, mock-seductively. "Here's the deal. You tell me where cell 13B is, and you don't get hurt. If you refuse, then I'll begin to hurt you in more ways than one." Of course, Arthur was bluffing. The only way he had to hurt the guard right now was with his daggers, and that would probably kill him.
Catherine
*Nox, having taken a hit, was furious. This mission was taking too long, with bastard commanders and idiotic golems that they had to fight. He shook his head in disbelief. After massacring a roomful of guards, they still had no Idea where the Girl was. He would do the same to this golem that was attacking him just as he had done to the others. He would take aim for their center body mass, and spear it right in the chest.*
Katie
*In all honesty Bog was running out of juice as far as mana went he only had enough for one Hunters leap before he was totally out. He would use it to jump to the side, preferring to stay safe than take another blade wound. He wouldn't be able to come back to attack the guard but at the same time the guard wouldn't be able to come to him yet. He would still be in combat stance, but that was mostly to intimidate the guard and further slow their advances.*

The 'leader' would moan in pain, and weakly lift his head at Arthur. "13...B? You... Insane bastards. You're... Trying to free her? Granted, she is much weaker now... Well looks like I got no choice. It's... On the floor below... But only Authorized Personal can enter."

Nox would thrust at the Golem, but as the Golem was also thrusting at him, their weapons would collide. However, Nox's spear is stronger and sturdier than the Golem's sword and shatters it. This does reduce the amount of power in the thrust though and instead of stabbing all the way through the spear, it only penetrates it and is stuck inside. The Golem's core appears to still be intact as it didn't disperse into mana, but it no longer has a weapon either, so it reaches out with its long icy arms to grab Nox. 

While Bog is quicker than the guard, the guard has impressive footwork as well and while it wasn't able to swing at Bog this turn, the guard sprints over to Bog and gets into melee range with its shield raised and its body being buffed even further.
Sandra
*Arthur remembered the door he had seen earlier, the one lined with runes. He did remember reading on the door that it was for "Authorized personnel only," So Arthur decided to use the man for a bit more. He turned the man over, so that he was face up from the ground, and grabbed his arm to pull him back onto his feet.*

"Good," He began. "You're coming with me. What you're going to do is open that door, and I dont necessarily think youre in a position to deny." 

*Arthur begins to walk himself and the guard leader roughly towards the southern exit, stopping to drag him at times to see if this would be the easier method of transport. After a good bit of time, Arthur propped the man's arm on his shoulder, and began to walk him down the stairs that lead to the bottom floor. Finally stopping as he reached the last flight of stairs, he sat the man down onto the floor once they were outside of the door, forcing his head to look at the door covered in runes.*

"Open it."
Catherine
*Nox roared in frustration, and pushed his spear even further into the golem, disengages and sees Arthur dragging the guard along, and decided to help out the haughty Moglash. He ran towards the guard, jumped and slammed his spear into the guard.*
Katie
*Bog wouldn't hear Nox, he was in full concentration mode. A wrong move could cost him here. He decided to attack from the side with the shield, staying as far away from the blade as possible, using a feint to try bait the shield away from the face after which he would aim to punch there. It's a move he did often against these enemies but it worked before and he didn't have anything else up his sleeve right now.*
Major
With one final thrust Nox is able to pierce through the Golem, destroying its core before it can grab him. He would then be able to run toward the guard facing Bog and swing his spear, but be parried away by the guard's shield. This however would allow Bog to freely aim for the guards face, but the guard seemed to be expecting it. So as Bog punches the guard, the guard thrusts his sword into Bog's center mass hoping to take him out as well, stabbing you with all his strength as he also takes Bog's punch head on. After the exchange the guard remains standing albeit barely and its helmet is dented. He falls to the ground and raises his hands in defeat. "I surrender, please spare me..."

Bog has suffered the equivalent of 2 severe wounds as the sword is embedded into his abs
The guard has surrendered
Combat is over, you two can do as you wish after I post Arthur's segment

As Arthur drags the captains body to the lower he smirks "Forgetting... Something?" He says as he motions to your lower parts. "I can see... What the flaming swords... Were compensating for" He chuckles. Once he gets infront of the door he lets out a sigh "I don't think... You guys know... What you're doing... But I value my life soooo" 
He then pulls out a key with a green rune on it and press it against the door. The runes on the door then also glow green. The guard then starts chanting in Runran. Arthur being only somewhat fluent would pick up words like Mortal, Weak, Strength, Faith, Builders, Hellish Monsters, and Secure. After the chat is complete he presses his hand against the door and it opens. "Head down to Sector 2...Open it with this keys...13B should be one of the cells there.,,you can open it with this key... That should be enough, right?"
Sandra
*Arthur nods towards the guard, but the words he said still stung him. Flaming swords... Compensating for what? Was he talking about his lack of strength? Arthur realized, shortly, that the man was talking about his penis size, and became somewhat ticked off at this fact. After the door had opened, he took the keys from the guards' outstretched hand, and decked him in the face, knocking him unconscious.*

"Yeah, that was enough." Arthur said as he stared down at the guard's limp body in disgust. He decided to come back for his clothes later, and began to walk down the door towards wherever sector 2 was located.
Catherine
*Nox glares at he guard menacingly and dabs a bit of his blood on his hands, and pulls out the sword from the Moglash. He then placed his hand over the wound, making sure his own blood touched the wound, and uttered a quick healing spell, and quickly stood up, pointed at the guard and demanded:*
Darla
"Come with me. Now."
Catherine
*Nox would follow the where Arthur had went, keeping the surrendered guard ahead of him and using his spear to nudge him along.*
Katie
*Bog would wince when the blade cut through his flesh. He wasn't new to pain, but it din't mean he didn't hurt or bleed like a normal being. Luckily for him however there was a healer on the team and they made the wounds better, or even fully healed (I dont know how strong Nox's healing is). He would nod at him and follow him and the guard down onto the floor below, though he couldn't help but ponder if there was an easier way to do this than to kill 18 guards and however many prisoners had died in there. It wasn't their deths he was mourning, but the fact that the crew wasted so much time and energy on the encounter. Regardless of what happened they were hopefully finally making some progress with their mission and there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel.*
Major
Nox and Bog would nudge the guard along down to the lower floor just in time to see Arthur knocking out the 'leader'. He doesn't seem to have noticed you two have arrived yet and thus starts walking into the room. The guard that is being nudged looks over to the two of you. 
"Well it looks like your friend got the door open. I could only assume he also has the keys. Just be warned this where we keep our most dangerous criminals. They have been starved and poisoned for months or even years so they can't break through this security, but that doesn't mean they aren't still deadly."
The guard would look to his knocked out comrade and sigh. "I know it seems I serve no purpose, but if you allow me to live I can direct the patrols away from this floor and the cafeteria. Don't need to worry about me setting off the alarm as in around 5 minutes or so it will go off anyway due to the prisoners that escaped through the northern exit. So if you are going to break the 'girl' out, I suggest you be quick"
Sandra
*As Arthur turned towards the staircase, he saw a guard, Nox, and Bog all exit while keeping the guard in check. He heard what the guard said about driving the patrols away, and thought that it would be a good idea to let him go and run his course. Arthur began to wonder, what was so dangerous about that girl that she had to be kept in maximum security prison? Was she some sort of monster, or beast taken human form? Pondering this thought, Arthur subconciously realized that none of them had brought in his armor and weapon from the upstairs room. He turned towards Bog and Nox, and spoke to them.*

"Let him go," Arthur said. "If he can drive the patrols away, thats going to make our escape miles easier."

*Turning to the guard in question, Arthur spoke to him as well.*

"You. Before you get going, get my armor and weapon from upstairs. Its the only one that looks somewhat high-quality in the entire room."
Major
The guard looks at Arthur and nods "Alright, I'll go fetch them. Will you wait for me to return or will you go get the 'girl' in your, uh, current state..."
Katie
"How can you trust him? Once he's away from us he's no longer in danger of getting killed, meaning he can just drive the patrols to us instead."
Sandra
"Wha-" He said in an exasperated tone. "OBVIOUSLY I'm gonna wait for you here! I'm not going in to see some girl while stark naked."

*Arthur turned to bog soon after.*

"He's probably severely injured as of now. Lets see, if he takes longer than a minute or two, Ill go up and kill him to avoid him leaking our location. Is that fine?"
Katie
"And you're assuming no one up there can heal him?" *Bog would grunt. Where would Arthur's trust for a guard be coming from? We just freed prisoners and killed his colleagues. It's something Bog could not wrap his head around.* "Hey guard, how thick are cell walls? And do any of them lead outside?"

"If they are too thick for the three of us to break, then you're going to lead us outside. You know where the patrols are so it shouldn't be a problem. After that the Psycho can heal you and you'll keep your life."
Sandra
"Yeah, I am assuming that there's no one up heal him. After all, we basicslly killed all of the guards that were inside this place. I doubt he wants to put up a fight as of now. Itd be foolish to try and attempt resistance."

*Arthur sighed, and turned to the guard.*

"Look, this is all becoming more complicated than needed. You stay here, I'll go get my own armor."

*Arthur begins walking back upstairs with the keys in his left hand, simultaneously dismissing the Daggers of flame that were encircling his right hand. He walked over to where all of his armor was before, and spent a minute or two putting it all back on. Finally, he retrieved his sword from the floor, putting it back in his scabbard. Before sheathing it, however, he examined it for a short while. It looked to be nicked in a couple of places, and was slightly scratched on both sides of the blade. He'd have to take it to a blacksmith for reperations. Sighing, he descended back down the stairs, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall.*

"Well, I guess we could have him be our guide for escape. That's another way to be useful, you two agree?"
Katie
"Much better..." *Bog would grin, feeling much more refreshed now that his Blood is coming back and his wounds are healed.* "I don't think I need to say what will happen to you if you act suspicious, right Mr.Guard?~" *He would flash his sharp canines, still grinning.*
Major
The guard simply eyes the two of you and sighs "Look, I just saw you 3 kill practically all my comrades despite the number advantage. I would rather spare my comrades inevitable death than lead them to it, so ideally I want you guys out of here as soon as possible. So yeah, I know better than to do anything to rouse your suspicions"
Katie
"Good~ Because the smell off your blood is making me hungry~" *This wasn't actually true since they don't drink blood for the taste and he already drank his dose for today. This didnt stop him from using the vampire legends to try intimidate the guard abit, mostly messing around with him now that they were victorious in the cafeteria.*
Sandra
"Heh, it's good to see you're a wise one." *Arthur would smirk coldly, and get off the wall heading towards the door. They needed to get to sector two quickly, and they didn't seem to have any more time to waste before the guard patrols rounded up the prisoners and found them down there.* "Let's get a move on."

*Arthur begins walking through the door, and goes to wherever sector 2 is located.*
Catherine
*Nox, standing behind the two, shook his head in silent disapproval. The clock was ticking and there was too much talking and not as much action. Aside from having to fight another batch of guards, he did not want to upset his employer by being late. He had a pristine reputation to maintain, and that meant a completely flawless track record.*
Darla
"Move. We don't have much time."
Major
The guard would seemingly not show any fear to Bog's provacations and simply leads the way with Arthur. Walking down the hall you can see that the doors are much more thicker and all around the floor, ceiling and walls were various runes. Nox being familiar with runes would be able to figure out that they are like the ones on the door except with some offensive magic in them as well, but have been deactivated for now. You all eventually reach a door reading 'Sector 2'. The guard motions for Arthur to open it with his key.
Sandra
*Arthur watched the guard motion to the door, probably a signal to open the door with the key he got. Taking the key he received earlier, he held it out to the door's corresponding rune, attempting to open the gate. After the gate opened, Arthur motioned for the guard to take the first step in.*

"Lead the way."
Major
The guard nods and walks in. Entering you will see a small hall while on the sides there would be iron doors with little slits on them covered by an iron slate. You would then hear voices
"Oh? This isn't feeding time"
"Well then, looks like we got a visitor"
"Bet you my dinner that it's a break-in"
"Sure, I bet it's actually a guard doing check up"
"What a pleasant surprise. Needed some more stimulus down here"
The guard walks past all these doors and eventually reaches a door labeled '13B'. The guard would motion to Arthur once more to open it.
Sandra
*Arthur walked down the hall, eyeing each of the prisoner's doors. He couldn't make out exactly the race of each and every prisoner from the sounds of their voice, but heard a variety of male and female voices alike. Some were high, some were gruff, some were playful, and some were outright devious. Slightly shivering, Arthur walked with the guard and the rest of his party down the hall labeled '13B.' Again, the guard motioned towards Arthur to open the door. Gulping inaudibly, he held the rune against the door's rune as well, and opened the door.*
Catherine
*Nox looked around silently in awe as well as in disapproval. Someone very high up obviously wanted to keep these people here for a long time, and had gone to great extents to pull this off. However, a band of 3 people simply just broke in, and could have broken everyone out if they so wished. The best way in his eyes to put someone away was to kill them.*

^Nox's thoughts no actions
Major
The door slowly opens as Arthur presses the key against it. Looking inside you would see a beautiful brown haired girl with innocent innocent looking hazel eyes wearing prisoner garments and cuffs around her hands and feet. She look up at you all and smiles "Hello there!" She would respond chirpily. 
Overall, she would give off the impression of being helpless, weak, in need of protection. Looking around the room you would see carvings on the wall of various landscapes. You can't seem to find what she used to carve into the wall, but the drawings look nice. 
The guard would clear his throat "Well, there she is. Take her and I'll show you the way out"
Catherine
*Nox knew that appearances could be deceiving on the surface, many people were one thing but completely another when behind closed doors. Cautiously, he gestured to Arthur too unlock her restraints.*
Darla
"Ma'am, we are here to release you"
Catherine
*Nox said in a hushed tone, and turned back to Arthur and Bog. He mouthed: ||"Do you remember the way?"|| He planned to kill the Guard and the commander on their way back. No survivors.*
Sandra
*Arthur eyed the girl carefully. She gave off the first impression of being helpless and powerless, and looked relatively young as well. Her brown hair and hazel colored eyes did not couple well with the garments and cuffs, although Arthur wouldn't voice this thought aloud. Getting a glimpse of the room itself once he took his eyes off of her, he saw various carvings in the wall of landscapes and nature. Wait... Carvings? To carve, you need something sharp, and there was visibly nothing in the room that could accomplish such a feat. He turned back towards the girl; she looked as innocent as ever, but Arthur noticed that he felt even more on edge than when he fought the guards and golems. She still gave off of that powerless aura, but there was a hint of evil and unknown strength masked behind. However, Arthur still proceeded to go up to her and unlock her restraints, motioning her to come along.*

"Come along, now. We're here to break you out, but we don't really have much time-" Arthur said, checking his timepiece. 1:54 AM. Yep, not really a lot of time left. "Yeah, not a lot of time left. Please, follow us."

*He spotted Nox mouth to him, seeming to ask "Do you remember the way?" Arthur slightly shook his head, and turned back around away from the door motioning the girl to follow.*
