Watching the rest of the group go back and forth once again, Teran can't help but wonder if they would ever actually stop flirting with one another.  Not that he minded so much; they were putting on quite the show, but it was all they seemed to care to do.  However, his train of thought is thoroughly derailed as he's almost knocked over by a massive wave of magical energy from somewhere down below.  "What kind of ritual are they doing down there?"  His question goes unanswered as he can both hear and feel another pulse building.  Bracing himself as best he can, he's still sent skidding more than a few feet back by the sheer force of the wave.<br/><br/>Drawing his rapier and following close behind Laebras, Teran stops when they reach the last door.  The markings on the door covering over the carvings of several gods are worrying; just how much did the succubus have to do to be able to perform the ritual here?  Lowering himself almost to the floor, he looks around the room quickly before moving back.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Asulf wrote:</cite>What I think we need to do is lock down that succubus and the feline first. They're spellcasters, right? That makes them unpredictable and we can't afford surprises.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>"This would depend on what kind of ritual this is, but there's a possibility that the succubus and the others up there have to stay put to keep the ritual going.  We'll find out as soon as the fight starts, I guess.  Either way, I agree; we need to deal with the feline as fast as possible."<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Brady wrote:</cite>I'll try to do something about that orb while you guys take care of the succubus and her bodyguards.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>"That you might be able to do just by doing something to the people up on the platform, they look like they're linked to the orb somehow.  Just be careful; if the pulses earlier were anything to go by, there's a lot of energy here - disrupting the ritual might release it all at once, or some similarly inconvenient event."  Hefting his rapier, he looks at the others quickly before back at the door.  "Either way, it sounds like we're almost out of time.  Ready?"
