Arkain sighs and releases the ferret and gently places him on the ground. "Fewww. Thanks Crystal. Hes quite the fighter. An illusion spell? Oohh thats not good. Thats a tough spell to counter. It seemed pretty strong. What ever he saw, sure seemed to be pretty real to him. We are going to have to be extra careful.<br/><br/>Arkain sighs and nods. "Yes Eric, I am sure it was the succubus. No, I am sure the succubus is around here somewhere close. The ferret must have been going to say something important."<br/><br/>Arkain lets Gold use his healing spell on the ferret. He nods listening to Gold and looks around. "I agree. It could be anything. We need to be extra careful how we react to what we see or think we see."<br/><br/>Arkain hears the noise from the solders. He stands up and looks around then crouches down. "Solders! They have seen us. They seem to be all around. The ferret said the solders were following the succubus. We can't let them get Crystal. It doesn't sound like there are too many. We can take them before they get too close. Crystal, Eric. You take Denil and hide in the bushes.. Wendy, Gold. We will spread out. When they get close we will jump them before they have a chance to lay a hand on Crystal. OK? You ready?"<br/><br/>((Eric, please check the discussion thread. I posted some ideas there.))
