    Default [Nexus - Plot] Prisoner Rescue

    Presumably, everyone is here, all of them having gone through the portal from HALO.

    But where is that?

    A courtyard, abandoned for several years by the look of it. The walls are cracked, and sand has blown in, covering the stonework floor. The suns, both of them, beat down with extraordinary force.

    Behind the portal back to the Ballroom, there is a large building, probably a temple.

    Carrie squints against the sunlight, gripping her cane.

    No doubt they're at the farthest from the bright centre of the universe...

    Quinn looks around apprasingly as Dani peeks behind the portal for any potential ambushes!

    There are no obvious threats visible to Dani. She might notice that the walls of the building are extremely thick, and there are few windows, though.

    There's not much else in the courtyard, except for the bones of some sort of animal, picked clean and scattered by scavengers.

    "Um, I should have brought an invisibility potion," Dani says with an embarassed giggle. "But I could sneak around!"

    "Yes. It's a pretty basic spell, so if anyone needs it, let me know." Ashley goes to cast that very spell on herself.

    Matt and Kevin both look uneasy about Dani going in to scout around, but they know she can teleport, so they keep quiet.

    "Ooh, can I have that spell please?" Dani asks, waving her hand excitedly!

    Quinn just chuckles.

    Ashley also can't help but laugh a little at Dani's enthusiasm. "Sure." She goes over to try and put a hand on Dani's shoulder. If that's successful, the illusionist casts the same spell she just cast on herself.

    Ping!

    Dani is the recipient of a Tongues spell!

    That word does not mean what she probably hopes it means....

    "Thanks!"

    Matt and Kevin are still here, feeling exposed although the courtyard appears abandoned.

    There is a heavily fortified building behind them, which would probably offer better cover.

    ... Aren't they going to send Dani and Ashley in to gather intelligence before they go into the temple?

    Ignoring Quinn's stare, Matt looks at Dani. The second you feel something is wrong, teleport back here.
    Kevin, set up a perimeter! Carrie, take Quinn and check out this temple. Make sure it's empty.

    The brown haired druid steps out of the courtyard and starts dragging his warhammer in the ground, drawing a huge square around the whole building while he quietly chants.

    Staring? Quinn isn't staring. That'd be rude.

    Dani snaps to attention, the scantily-armored redhead giving Matt a jaunty salute.
