Draiss immediately dropped the project, before sending an avatar to see what the hell was going on, even as he granted spells. He held his head as the newest avatar dashed out, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. He notified Avi, Vorela, and Kamariel that one of his groups of followers were under attack, and that they would be sent to reinforce the avatar as soon as it figured out what was going on. It was arriving with all of its defensive abilities up, ready to avoid any attacks directed at it, though it appeared a short distance from the beleaguered followers.
