Aneesha cast a long appraising look at Jia at her request, before nodding her head.<strong>"Very well, I'll get you something to wear as well as a spear. I have a wand laying around that got a few charges, it should be more useful than a lone vial of stronger healing solution anyhow. Those seem <em>tolerable</em> requests certainly."</strong>She smirked faintly, nodding her head approvingly, before turning to regard the next person to speak up, who in this instance was Baudhiel. Regarding the woman with a narrow-eyed look at the mention of the ring, and the mention of a force shield on her armor, a smirk playing on the Erinyes' face for a moment.<strong>"It certainly doesn't look like it was meant to cover and protect by its own materials, so having been magical in the past makes sense. Its too badly beaten to be repaired at least on a short notice, but there are some gauntlets of armor about that I am willing to borrow for the duration of this task that should afford some measure of protection at least. As for that ring, I haven't got my hands on yours, but I do have one. It fell a fairly long time before your arrival, with another who didn't survive the fall. Broken neck, though curiously alive all the way down, screaming before the landing."</strong>Her tone seeming neither apologetic or explaining, just bluntly stating things as they were.<strong>"I'll have them bring up the gauntlets for you, secure them on your wrists or don't, but they may save your hide during this mission. The ring will be along as well."</strong><br/><br/>Turning to regard Piro again she smirked amusedly at the man at his request, tapping her cheek.<strong>"I believe I know what you are talking about. Thing is, it landed on the imp's territory so you are going to have to pry it from his cold dead fingers most likely. Its not here, so you are so out of luck on that. Breastplates are easy enough, my own forces use them sometimes, they might not fit exactly but eh, you'll do with what you get. As for a Fauchard, I'll have to check but there might be something like that in the storage."</strong>She turned her gaze over to Naori at the end, nodding her head amusedly at the time while hearing the elf's words about a thick piece of metal to wear.<strong>"I'll make it a second breastplate to carry then. Might have to bandage your chest down though, I haven't got female guards for a while."</strong>She smirked a bit smugly for a short moment but shrugged, before humming.<strong>"There ought to be some halberds in the storage, a sword should be possible option as well. Ah well."</strong><br/><br/>Turning to walk off towards the tower, she said a few words to the guards in passing, the one that had kicked Piro when he was down snorting loudly and looking at the man annoyed at his comment earlier.<strong>"Just obey, keep breathing longer."</strong>Those guards returned to the gates to watch over them, while the group was given a short pause to stand about on their own for a moment again, but it didn't last that long before the Erinyes returned from the tower-structure, followed by a pair of robed figures, both hunched over and scarred, pale white flesh seeming to carry brand-marks on the backs of the hands. The two of them held onto the ends of a chest they were carrying, setting it down near the group before hurriedly moving a bit back, the bare feet kicking up some dirt as they retreated nervously.<br/><br/>Within the chest lay a pair of identical bronzed breast-plates, mens breastplates, alongside a greatsword, a halberd, wooden quarterstaff, a spear and a fauchard. They were all sunk to the bottom into what appeared to be a bag stapled against the back wall and the side of the chest, the shafts of those long weapons and parts of the greatsword's blade vanishing into what seemed like black tar-like substance at the bottom, but easily lifted clean and untouched from the bag, and the chest itself. There was also a set of metal gauntlets there with the bronzed metal engraved with imagery of a fully armored figure smashing people apart with a huge mace in one hand, and a flame burning over his iron fist in the other. The ring itself was a slender silver band with a pair of black gemstones embedded next to one another, red sigils embedded into the inside of the ring beneath the stones. Resting near them was a long-flowing blue robe that seemed to be made of fine silks, along with a thin wooden wand with white jewel embedded at its tip, the thin look of the wand making it seem frail, but on the length of it several smaller gemstones had darkened, only two out of the dozen little gems along its shaft showing a bit of light to them.<br/><br/><strong>"Now, as for looting and pillaging, you're free to rape, loot and pillage things as you see fit as long as you don't touch the soul-mill itself. The wards will crash down soon after the imp who they're tied to is dead, and I'll arrive to lay claim to the place soon after. I will know when the wards are down. I will demand you return what is mine when the battle is over, but I imagine you will be able to tear some new gear from there that you can keep to your own name. If you serve well enough, I'm willing to part with some magical gear later on, but for now, what you get is on a loan."</strong><br/><br/>That said, Aneesha moved to gesture towards their manacles with her hand a crimson shine surrounding a signet ring on her finger, a similar shine showing at the top of the tower a fair bit stronger though, before the manacles snapped open and dropped off of them. Aneesha backed away and gave them some time to get ready, before gesturing for the guards to start herding them in the right direction, a somewhat thoughtful look on her face though while looking after Naori, a curiosity evident in the dark-winged figure's eyes and on her face.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">The group hardly has the time to evaluate the magic of the gear they receive, but not one of the items seems less than masterwork quality. Baudhiel would know the ring to be "Second Type" though, given the fact it seems to be left to hold 'False Life' in it already, a knowledge gained as soon as the ring is on a finger. Though emptying it for another would not be hard.</div></div>
