Yvaine stared at the possessed Horofay as magic sparked between them. Yvaine's stare turned into a glare.
"Foolish creature! THIS. IS. HOLY. GROUND!!!" Yvaine boomed. "Not just any holy ground either. This is the Grand Temple of Freya. Foul creature! You will not possess anyone else here! Leave this kitsune now or face oblivion!"Edge Grinder

Markas stood up, gently cradling Horofray in his arms, "I'm sorry I had to man-handle you like that, my friend, but I didn't want that thing to hurt you or us using your body. It was the only thing I could think of." He turned to the others, "Yes, that is what this thing does. It possesses people or objects. When you drive it out, it escapes by phasing so it can live to do it again. This is the third time today I've had to witness that. I'm glad Horofray's safe, but now I'm worried I just gave it plenty of better targets to choose from." He focused his attention on Yvaine, "High Priestess, thank you for coming so quickly. I was hoping you were able to exorcise it. I'm glad I was right. I'm no expert in possessions, but I'm sure Horofray here's at least exhausted from the experience.

"Oh, no," Horofay waved one small, paw-like hand dismissively, "I didn't mean what you did. I meant the experience of being possessed was what was unpleasant," she clarified.
"I'm not really exhausted from the experience. Not physically anyway. I feel like I've been under significant mental strain. Any fatigue I feel is from the day of spying on those goblins... Oh!" she stiffened and looked at Gorrun abruptly.
"That reminds me! I was gonna tell you... I haven't been able to discern details, but the goblins do look more like they're mobilizing, rather than gathering as refugees. It looks a lot like an enemy war camp setting up for a siege. A lot of sharpening weapons and repairing armor and drills," Horofay said.Spoiler: Aurora

Markas gently put Horofray back on the ground since she said she was doing better, but his eyes widened at hearing the news about the Goblins, "Really? We were willing to give them asylum but if this was a ruse...and the Goblin and Hobgoblin we dealt with today were worshipers of Orcus...if these Goblins are the same, we could be putting the city in the center of a gigantic pincer attack..." He then yawned, "I pull an all nighter, didn't get enough sleep last night, and spent all day today hunting cultists at less than my peak...yeah I need to get to bed. Hopefully I'll be fully recovered by morning...I'll be in my room at the castle if I'm needed. Good night all of you."
With that, Markas hailed a cab to take him back to the castle where he collapsed in his bed...Festival of Heroes

Malaika put all for hands on her hips and scowled at Gorrun.
"No, Boss, you need to go to bed! We need you fresh tomorrow, especially if Markas is right and we're gonna get pinched! We don't know when that might happen and we can't take any risks. You're just gonna have to put your faith in the citizens and the various divine soldiers that are on patrol. We'll never find that stupid thing in the dark anyway, even if you do have an owl's eyes now!"
"Sorry, Gorrun, I don't know that spell. Buy me a scroll and I'll add it to my book, though, even if it's not really the kind of spell I'm best with," Horofay said apologetically.
"This temple is kinda close to the castle," Malaika told Horofay. "You can stay in the guards quarters with me if you want, or you can get a room at an inn. Up to you."
"Far be it for me to say no to free stuff," the fennec kitsune said, bushy tail twitching rapidly back and forth. She let Malaika pick her up to make things easier.
"Now, come on," Malaika growled at Gorrun, grabbing his hand and bodily dragging him towards the door.
"I... can't... pick you up... but I... can... drag you!" she ground out between clenched teeth.
Horofay giggled, an edge of hysteria in her voice.Spoiler: Aurora

Gorrun, seemingly watching something, trails off to the west. As the mark fades he looks back up. It's moving toward the noble district.
We need to get extra guard patrols and paladin troops out there. This one is particularly crafty. Gorrun retires to the castle by way of the guard dispatch to place orders before ending his night.To all things there is an end. With every end, a new beginning.

As Jaylyn stirred, she sensed a presence in the room with her. She jerked awake to find a familiar kitsune, sitting in the bedroom with her. The female kitsune looked a lot like Jaylyn, but taller, more curves, and more mature looking. "Good morning, dear, sorry to startle you awake." The kitsune said.

From the street below the tower came the sound of a whinny. When Aurix looked down, he saw a tall, brawny destrier with a ruby red coat standing below, pawing the ground. The horse looked up, and met Aurix's gaze. It whinnied and shook its crimson mane.
There was something strikingly familiar about that horse.Spoiler: references

"Wow," Aurix sighs breathlessly as he catches sight of the horse. Aurix turns to Torilee, excitement in his eyes. "Look, that horse down there! That's Arangin! They say Jaydis Von's mount lingered in the world long after his death, protecting the innocent where its master no longer could. And it looks like he's here to help...me! Let's go see!"
Aurix lets Torilee climb on, then unfolds his wings and flies down to the large horse. He lands hard on the ground a few feet away. He grins up at the horse, then bows at the waist to it.Festival of Heroes: Aurix Kornari- 6' Human with golden scales on his skin, blond hair, green Draconic eyes, carrying a halberd, meets people with a warm smile.

Captain Bramwell awoke on the cold stone floor of the castle’s dining room, his beard and hair matted at odd directions. As he slowly climbed to his feet, Brân looked at him from the window ledge, “Good Morning Captain, sleep well?” the corvid asked. Bramwell shook his head, clearing the cobwebs before looking about, “What bloody time is it?” a nearby servant of the castle spoke up, “About six in the morning sir.”
The old pirate nodded as her used his hands to somewhat straighten his hair before heading for the door,, “First we go te the shop, I need Brynhildr te make me a new toy…” he started as the raven landed upon his shoulder, “Then as I recall there be cultists in need of fine steel through their eyeballs…” he finished as his cloak unfurled from his quick walking pace.Captain Bramwell Rackham, Male Tiefling with red skin, black eyes and backwards swept horns.

Tasidar walks at the head of four units of well trained soldiers. all walking inline and in unison. The gate guards watch as they march to the castle. The sound of their steps echo through the city with each step. civilians in the surrounding building start to come out of their homes to watch the display. Tasidar walks his units to the front of the castle, by this time a large amount a people have gathered. "Halt!" He shouts, his voice echos loud, a trait of his race when he raises his voice. "Present arms!" again he shouts. the four Units stop all movement at the same time then display themselves in a fighting stance. Awaiting the princess's presence they all stand stoic.

The Princess dropped her fork and wiped her mouth. She stood up from her seat and rushed for the door. "Where is he?" She asked.
"South side of the castle, Your Highness." The head butler replied.

Gorrun wakes late in the morning. A moment of panic and surprise flashes over him as if he was late for something, but the feeling soon faded. No alarms yet? He muttered. I'll count it as a blessing. He summoned his pages to assist him in strapping on his armor, he takes up his Shields and straps in his blades. He moves out to the training grounds and sets up several dummies. Mighty Tyr, witness my prayer that I may grow stronger in your guidance. ... he begins an hour long regimen of battle tactic practice as a prayer to his war god.

"All units report to the military operations, orders will be given there for your placement." He bows to his soldiers "You stand between the darkness and the light, you are the ray of hope that gives all Juvelnord City the faith to push on, stay vigilant, stay positive, and bring swift and brutal justice to those that deserve it. Now go forth and defend this land with everything you have!"
As Tasidar finishes, his soldiers all raise a fist and let out a warriors howl, they then bow back and each unit leaves in line to the military operations base. Tasidar then turns and walks up the front stairs of the castle. "Princess, what are my next orders?"
