The Serdian War IC

[Diachronos]

Emily nods and creeps down one set of stairs as the others move down the other set. She launches a water blast at one of the guards.

[Diachronos]

Trinia and Nazier successfully defeat two of the remaining guards, and Lavitz stabs the last one through the chest.

[NeoSeraphi]

The group takes a moment to catch their breath, before proceeding on into the tower unhindered.

[Diachronos]

The tower doesn't go anywhere except up to a set of barracks that are currently empty. Perhaps they might find something of use here, though?

[NeoSeraphi]

The group spreads out to search the area for useful tools or information.

Perception: (1d20)[10]

[Diachronos]

Between the four of them, they manage to find a few useful things. In addition to a stash of rations, they find 1,500 gold, a set of keys, and a prisoner roster. the roster lists Shana in the tower that they'd passed on the way to the guard station, and has her marked as a high priority prisoner.

[NeoSeraphi]

"What is this? Why?" Nazier asks, confused. He refuses to believe Shana actually committed a crime, so why is she marked so high priority?

He heads to the second tower. It was closed before, but now with his set of keys he can open the door and head inside.

[Diachronos]

One of the keys opens the tower door. Time to start searching for Shana!

[NeoSeraphi]

"Shana? Shana!" Nazier calls, searching through each cell for her.

[Diachronos]

"Nazier? Nazier, is that you?!"

He hears the voice coming from around a bend in the hall... a bend that five soldiers come around to investigate the source of the noise they'd just heard.

[NeoSeraphi]

Nazier glares. "Get out of my way!"

He strikes through the crowd.

[Diachronos]

Trinia and Nazier catch the first guard between their attacks and take him out before he can react. Lavitz runs in and stabs at a second guard, while Emily tries to take out another.

[NeoSeraphi]

Nazier heads to the holding area and searches for Shana's cell.

[Diachronos]

He finds the cell where Shana is being held. "Nazier, it really is you!"

[NeoSeraphi]

Nazier opens her cell and embraces Shana. He examines her shoulders, neck, arms, legs and chest carefully. "Are you alright? They didn't hurt you, did they?"

[Diachronos]

Spoiler: Shana

Show

Shana shakes her head. She has a few bumps and bruises, and her clothes are a bit dirty, but aside from that Shana appears unharmed. "I... never thought this is how we'd run into each other again..."

[NeoSeraphi]

Nazier chuckles. "It's okay. I'm here now, and that's all that matters."

He steps back to let Emily hug Shana, before raising his sword. "Let's collect Shana's belongings from the guard tower and head back to the cart."

[Diachronos]

Shana looks up at him. "I didn't have anything with me when they attacked Seles."

[NeoSeraphi]

"I see. Then, let us retreat. Everyone, make your way back to the lift."

[Diachronos]

They nod and start heading back toward the lift. As they start taking it back down, however, they see another lift coming up from below, with some guards that appear to be ready for a fight.

"Damn. It looks like they found the bodies of the other guards."

[NeoSeraphi]

"It's fine. We ride down, they ride up, they won't catch us."

[Diachronos]

"True, but now they'll be expecting us down below."

"Well, the stables didn't look too far from where we came up. Maybe we can grab some horses and just ride out of here?"

[NeoSeraphi]

Nazier agrees with Emily. They ride down the lift and rush towards the stables.
