The guardswoman finally resigned herself to staying behind and recuperating while the heroes dashed off to save the day. "Wait... at least take the healing potions with you," she nodded seeing Eleeza and Bael'reth take them. "And the wards..." she placed her palm on the wall beside her; the wards had been drawn there and she had been defending it to the last, but now it seemed that their use was over and it was time to take the battle back to the enemy!<br/><br/>There was a hum of magic almost audible even to the untrained ear as the magics of the underground base started up again. Magical fires burst to life on the ceilings, lighting each chamber brightly. The wards on the door to the situation room disengaged and a man who was probably Bradley came out. He was dressed in a green tunic over a chain shirt that looked a bit light for front-line combat but would be suitable for stationing in the rear echelon. "When you opened the lab door I could scry inside and follow your progress," he explained and also conveniently didn't mention the guard's comment about him. "The princess isn't inside the lab and there's only one place left to check. Come on!"<br/><br/>He hurried to the armory where a few of the racks had shifted positions to reveal heavy-looking stone doors inscribed with arcane symbols that had been concealed earlier. There were no more wards active to soundproof them and so the voices of... a man and a woman being unabashedly loud about copulation could be heard from the other side. Bradley took up position beside the door and placed his hand just a few inches from one of the runes inscribed on the doors. "Make your final preparations quickly and I will open the door on your signal."
