<strong>Ivette</strong><br/><br/>"House Tseng... Yeah." She replied, pausing for a moment to collect her thoughts before shaking her head, "None of this makes any sense... Lord Idao is a kind man. He never cared about anything but the games."<br/><br/>Up ahead, the sorceresss could hear the trolls talking down the corridor. There was some muddled shouting and accusations, and a scathing reprisal from Boggra. They were close now, but Ivette would at least have a few moments to prepare before they assuredly hurried back.<br/><br/><strong>Ellen</strong><br/><br/>"Ugh." Grunted a voice on the second deck, "Couldn't they have made the interior of this thing just a little bit more spacious?"<br/><br/>A door slammed shut just as Ellen made her way down, revealing what could have only been the other adventurer. A fair blonde, comely and debonair. More noticably, a pair of feathery angelic wings sprouting from his shoulder blades which left him, for the moment, shirtless.<br/><br/>"Oh hey." He said, giving her a smile as he noticed Ellen's approach. "So I guess we're ready to take off now?"<br/><br/>His smile turned to a wide grin, excited at the prospect of leaving Blackbridge behind.<br/><br/><strong>Dexter</strong><br/><br/>Dirae looked at Dexter with alarm as he began casting, uncertain of his intentions. When he cast his spell, the lightning struck forth into the statue's outstretched finger, sending a pattern of runes upon its' surface alight with magical energy.<br/><br/>The runes coursed through the statue, plunging into the water depths below the surface. The statue rumbled for a moment before slowing ascending up into the air. "Hey! If it comes up from underneath us, we're wrecked!" The captain shouted before barking orders off to the crew.<br/><br/>But beneath the statue was only four pillars surrounding a steep spiral staircase leading into the murky depths below. It went upwards into the sky, many stories above Dexter and his companions. At last, the tower stopped. The staircase did not seem to extend all the way to the bottom, however, as there seemed to be a 'floor' to the structure just a few feet beneath the water's surface. Electricity cackled throughout the structure, the water no doubt agitating the latent energies moving through it.<br/><br/>"...Huh." Dirae said, brushing a strand of hair from her face.
