Kass's blade slid neatly deep, in and out with a rich red torrent of heart-blood spraying out after it, and the body fell back, continuing to pump out lifeblood.<br/><br/>Aria, over the next few moments, flew in a circle about the circumference of the chamber, searching in welcome vain for more Sharrans. The room continued its radial symmetry, with eight wedges of pews and eight statue (which bore a facial likeness to the whip-wielding priestess, but which Kass's knowledge would otherwise suggest were intended to represent Shar herself), and four almost-equispaced sets of double doors, although the wall furthest from the theater doors also held an altar and long slab (possibly sacrificial in use) more like those at the backs of oblong sanctuaries. Vertically, the place appeared to have a hemispherical dome, which seemed like it might've not been opaque in substance - but if so, beyond it was only pitch black.<br/><br/>Aria tucked her blindfold back up over her eyes, looking about as she spiraled in to meet Kass. "No one else. A Sharran sanctuary sure enough. Magic auras on the necklaces of the topless girls - two or three of whom will live I think - and on several things of the other five; no other auras save for our own and an ambient one all about the chamber - probably the pervading magic darkness." Just after taking off the blindfold, she noticed for the first time that Kass was invisible, herself having previously been blindfolded and blindsighted since the illusion was cast. "Wow, they never had a chance, eh? All stunned stiff by you and unable to see us besides! Shall we loot or quickly poke into another room or two while your invisibility spell persists?" She thought she recognized the specific magic, since Kass had attacked but was still invisible, as it was one that previous allies had cast on her in a few adventures past - it was, of course, one of the favorite of all magic effects for ambush-attackers like herself - and recalled it only lasted a minute or two.<br/><br/><br/>Aria (120' for a double move flying) will take about 3 rounds to explore the whole chamber, during which Kass has 4 (since she didn't use her 4th combat round yet) for whatever; leaving about 11 rounds left on Kass's Gr. Invis (20 - 2 precombat and 7 since) in case she wants to do anything particular with that time.<br/><br/>Kass isn't fatigued, Aria used a Lesser Restoration wand charge on her before the fight (although I think I might've edited it into that post shortly after the post was posted).<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><br/><br/><br/>                           _________________________<br/>                          /. . . . . . . . . . . . .\ <br/>                        /. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\ <br/>                      /. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\ <br/>                    /. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\ <br/>                  =. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .= <br/>                =. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .= <br/>              /. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\ <br/>            /. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\  <br/>            |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>            |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>            |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|  <br/>            |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>            |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|  <br/>            |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>            |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|  <br/>            |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>            |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>            |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|  <br/>            |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|___|_ _|___ <br/>            \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . .|<br/>              \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . .|<br/>                \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . .|<br/>                  =. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>                    =. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .=. . . . . . . . ./<br/>                      \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . ./<br/>                        \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . ./<br/>                          \___ _ _ _________ _ _ ___/. . . . . . . . ./              <br/>                          /. . . . . . . . . . . . .\. . . . . . . ./<br/>                        =. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./<br/>                      =. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .=. . . ./<br/>                    /. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\. ./<br/>                  X. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .X<br/>                    \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./<br/>                      ---- - ---------   --------- - -----<br/></span>
