<strong><em>Neesia</em></strong><br/><br/>Neesia would find her first fork in the road almost immediately as the visibility was fairly well kept by her own torch along with the few she could see burning along the path she chose to take. Looking around her the underground burial crypt seemed to pulse with an energy that she would not quite be able to comprehend. Turning herself to the right once she reached the fork in the crypt, Neesia would find more of the same. This was, at face value, an underground cemetary. With Kozma running around, this seemed like a good idea all told since it would restrict his access to fresh recruits unlike a standard burial ground.<br/><br/>Moving along the hallway, Neesia seemed to touch something that she should not have. There was a doorway that had shut behind her closing her into the area as if she walked into a trap of some kind. Within a few moments of the initial shock of the doors slamming shut, Neesia would realize she was not alone as two Ghouls would materlialize around her. "Who disurbs our slumber!" The ghouls would wail out in an attempt to scare her.<br/><br/>Result: 15 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=87300) The wailing was easily far too ineffective for Neesia to think it was little more than a pathetic cry than an attempt at intimidating her. However Neesia was still going to have to deal with the two spirits that she has awoken in some way. They did not seem to be outwardly acting hostile toward her, but their initial interaction was not entirely friendly either.<br/><br/>(Ghost 1 - 33/33, Ghost 2 - 31/31 both AC 29 Incorporeal)<br/><br/><strong><em>Sorcha</em></strong><br/><br/>"I dont know what Mero does really. She generally would just watch over the newborns for a while, but I think she wants to maybe raise a few kids of her own knowing how crazy she is from time to time. Though I think I have something in mind for where we could go now that you are done here." With that Emi would move toward the wall and start to etch a completely different rune into the wall. With the portal starting to form around them, Emi would beckon Sorcha through while she followed.<br/><br/>Sorcha would find herself walking into something that looked like an arena. A circular area about 120 feet wide around with 10 foot high walls and a dome that looked as if it were meant to keep wild magic from affecting any bystanders. There were seats as if this were meant to be a spectacle of some kind. Though for now it was only Emi and Sorcha present.<br/><br/>"Pardon my assertion, but I would very much like to test you. If you are not feeling up to it, I understand. I just wanted to get us into a place where we could be alone so I could see just how powerful you are. Here, everything is based upon power and now that I have you in private I can tell you that Kozma simply wanted power. The rest of the Mage's Guild here tried as best they could to limit him but he eventually just snapped and started researching what most around here would consider to be forbidden magicks. Once you said that you were sent here to defeat him, I knew that I needed to test you. If you can't even beat someone like me, I would hope you rethink your plan a little with trying to take Kozma on."<br/><br/>Sorcha now had to decide on if she wanted to accept the challenge from Emi. It was pretty obvious that Emi was attracted to Sorcha at a basic level. Emi looked to be almost already moving to undo the clasps on her mage's guild robe as an obvious smile started to form over her face.<br/><br/><strong><em>Irene</em></strong><br/><br/>Irene would look over the situation with the few seconds she had and look toward the female recruit. It was clear that they were going to try to work as a team to take the guys down. Irene would speak little more than a simple phrase and it would cement their temporary alliance against the guys as the trainee nodded her head with a smile and turned to concentrate herself against her enemies. Irene would also move into position and trap one of the male trainees between them. Their maneuvering was fairly successful as Irene would move to throw the recruit down into the mud in a similar fashion that she did with the other one before.<br/><br/>Throwing him to the ground was easy enough, and Irene would land one of the attacks as her foe was a little more adept at defending himself than the first recruit. Even being somewhat blinded by Irene's dirty trick previously, he was still able to time the stomps that Irene was delivering. Being hit by the second stomp would allow him to counter the final attempt at a stomp and would trip Irene down to the ground leaving her prone for a short time. Moving to get his vision cleared, the recruit was unable to immediately follow up however he did get himself back up to his feet. The female recruit would take the advice Irene gave and attempt to hit him as he got up, but missed Result: 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=87306).<br/><br/>The other male recruit would attempt to take advantage of his distracted compatriot and would try to simply grapple her. Result: 26 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=87307) Grabbing her from behind and restraining her arms, there was little else that they were going to do for the time being. Even though Irene was on the ground she could see that Rana herself was looking to get into the fray at this point. She had already gotten rid of most of her armor and would join them wearing little more than her undergarments it seemed as she kicked aside her sandals. Which side was Rana going to end up being on?<br/><br/>(Irene - 26/60 prone, recruit 1 - 37/68 grappling, recruit 3 - 69/76 floored, f.recruit 47/62 grappled, Rana ???)
