So they did have magic, and used magical items... interesting... Kass figured this might be good as ammunition if she needed any for such a feat.  Then again, they only knew divine... so was it but Arcane magic alone of Mystra's weave that was for 'witches'?<br/><br/>"Thanks Aria, and if need be I have a few options... but I should be able to 'distract' about... seven of them easily enough." Kass replied in Sylvan softly, seemingly translating to Aria "I need you to fly down there, grab him, and teleport back to me; trust me when I say it's really the only way now, and there's no chance in hell we're helping stop the thieves at this point, so after I start dancing, you go, and I'll teleport to you after you get there, so be ready for me, got it?"<br/><br/>As the men were walking, Kass nodded to the man's request, and began to reply.<br/><br/>"Very well.  You see, these witches, and perhaps other warlocks now if they've bolstered their numbers, have a vile spell capable of demolishing an<em>entire</em>city... I have personally seen it destroy an entire mountain range like it was made of paper.  In order to use this spell though, they need an artifact of great power, of great prowess... and their plan for now is that before the light of tomorrow's dawn, they will break into the Temple of Ares and steal the shield of a great and powerful hero... they seek to destroy you with the shield of your own heroes of yore!" Kass called out, talking as much to the crowd as she was to the priests now "You must defend this artifact of yours, lest they taint it and use it to feed this vile spell of theirs!  They plan to strike under the cover of darkness tonight, so you<em>must</em>stop them!"<br/><br/>She paused, taking a deep breath, and shifting her heel she began to spin slowly in place, at first looking like she planned to turn around, but then it turned into a true spin, her arms raising, her eyes closing slightly, and the dance of hers began.  Carefully placed steps done as fluidly as water, as effortlessly as breathing, her body swaying ans shifting beautifully, gracefully, and amazingly... it was almost supernatural how she moved, how enticing she looked... and hopefully the men down there would think so too...<br/><br/>New plan: Aria flies down using Haste if need be (she needs to get there in a single round for this plan to work as it does), grabs him, and delays her standard action to use the Staff to Greater Teleport.  I will DD next round, and as soon as I get there Aria will use her held/delayed/readied/whatevertheterm action to use the staff and teleport us away.  To distract them in the meantime, Kass is using FASCINATE as per Bard Spell-Like Ability (which I found benefits from the Veil of Allure ^_^)<br/><br/>First Perform: Dance check...
