Verena followed the group wordlessly through the fiery portal, the transition not even fazing her as they stepped into the dusty building. She carefully made a mental note of it's location as the group stepped into the busy marketplace. Her eyes briefly scanned the various stands and fiends in the market, looking if there was anything of interest she might want to return later for. When Orlando explained his plan to fight in the arena, she frowned. "Assuming demons will play fair in an arena fight? I doubt I would be of much use, even with the might the goddess has granted I am simply not as powerful or well equipped as you." She feigned a bashful blush, biting on her lower lip to emphatise her feigned reluctance. "Nor would I feel secure within the crowd. I think I could find a way into Graz'zt palace, but I have no hope of being able to smuggle you all inside."<br/><br/>The half-demoness in disguise made a careful show of her gathering courage, spreading her wings slightly and assuming a far more regal stance than the submissive show she had been putting on so far. "If my goddess illusions are enough to fool the demons that lurk inside that wretched place then I will wait until I hear word of your success in the arena, before covertly meeting you. That way our 'grab and run' plan will run smoothly, since I doubt you are familiar with the layout of Graz'zt's fort?" Verena was making a gamble, but the spell hiding her true appearance from the group wouldn't last forever. Without the others watching her she was fairly confident she could bluff or sneak her way past Graz'zt security, and if things went awry she could always try and make a deal with the demon prince.<br/><br/>Hugging her wings close to her body she glanced between Benedict's monstrous form and Ilvaria's more gentle one. Taking a deep breath, she took another gamble. "If you people think you could take on Hollowfield Grounds without Ilvaria's aid, I think the both of us would have an easier time perhaps." The fiendish woman hadn't noticed Benedict's alpha behaviour, but figured the alchemist would like to entertain the idea of having both Ilvaria and Verena to himself. Suggesting the two of them would likely get along would further entice the alchemist to show greater protectiveness for Verena. The Enchantress really hoped the man would fall to her wits, as it could give her a powerful foothold to manipulate the rest of the group. She was also quite certain she could bring the drow around to her in they had some private time.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
