Post teleportation... Kass blinked as Aria gasped, gazing out at the city before them.  It... it was positively<em>lovely</em>!  Such beautiful white architecture, such beautiful buildings and statues... and yet at the same time, it was equally hideous from her perspective atop the roof, seeing man, mostly just men, so beaten and slums so prominent... what had come to this city?  Glancing down the view got worse, the trash layering the streets so... was this because of the lack of magic, or because of the state of affairs regardless?<br/><br/>Glancing at the nearby spectacle... it wasn't looking so good for that man in the center, the two men with black beards and the two monstrous beasts nearby as well.  So<em>that</em>is what they did to magic users... Kass figured they were simply distrustful, or didn't like them... not that they<em>actively</em>hunted them!  But damn, the crowd was too large... this wasn't very good at<em>all</em>... and that man in the middle... damn, what to do?<br/><br/>...and then it occurred to her, though they would need to move<em>very</em>quickly... and would need Aria's help...<br/><br/>"Quick, Aria, two things: one, can you use that staff to teleport us back to the temple when I say to?  And two, what is the<em>exact</em>name of that shield?" Kass said softly, even using Sylvan as a softer language to aid in the communication process "If this is how they treat mages, our trip looks like it'll be<em>very</em>short... but we can still warn them.  If I teleport the two of us down there, since they haven't noticed us yet by the looks of things, you can grab the man and teleport us back to Siwa as I yell a threat for 'us' coming back for that shield, but I need to know it's name and whose it was... do you think you're up to that?  If not, do I need to teleport us back and you use one of the scrolls, or do we need another plan of attack?"<br/><br/>I was pretty sure I had it somewhere, but Kass is Chaotic Good (she's a Heartwarder, after all ^_^)<br/><br/>Now again, the proposed plan is DD in right next to the man there (I'm sure I can pull off one more as a 6th level spell), shout off a threat, then have Aria use the staff to teleport the three of us (the man to be burned at the stake as it were) back to Siwa... I figure since we are unseen at the moment, that we can do this while banking on the use of a Surprise Round to get off the Staff without hassle.  Would that work?<br/><br/>Just as a note: I am<em>really</em>not looking forward to her possibly being captured by them... that's all I'm saying >.>
