Clerics of Confusion

[Darastrix]

Imobel blinked for a moment as she regained her bearings, then quickly scrambled off of Wisdom. "You idiot! I told you I could take the fall! You're lucky I already landed on you, 'cause I would so be kicking your ass right now!"

[tuo]

As Adam's power suddenly failed and they began to drop, Drake quickly noticed that the way Adam was going to hit the ground; he would probably crack his head open. In desperation he tried to reach for Adam with his right hand to grab him, even though he knew it was too late, when suddenly something strange happened in his mind and suddenly more wind picked up around Adam and him.

The wind managed to slow there fall enough that instead of slamming into the street they land with only a small thump before he hurries over to Adam to check on him.

Adam groans weakly, barely conscious from overusing his power like that. "Brother..."

[Kender Bard]

Dreamwarp sucks up the pain and hobbles over to Drake and Adam, checking on them worriedly. "Are you two okay?"

Wisdom didn't respond to Imobel; the pain was agonizing. He could barely speak. Moving weakly, he managed to bring his fingertips up to his forehead a moment, laying on his sign, before moving to his lips and trickling the last of his healing water into his mouth. After a few minutes, he managed to stir and start to get up. "I can't.. help it.. chivalry... will be the death of me... Heh."

[Darastrix]

"Screw chivalry," Imobel stated, rolling her eyes as she helped Wisdom sit up. "I ought to lay you out for doing that anyway. But you're the healer and we do kind of want to make it out alive."

[tuo]

Drake grumbles and moves to pick him up with some effort. "Stupid, why did you say you could do something you couldn't?" He mumbles to Adam as he loses consciousness before speaking to Imobel and Dreamwarp. "Hey, can I get some help here?"

Up above, sounds of guards shouting in the burned throne room were heard and the shouts are heard coming closer to the hole quickly.

[Kender Bard]

Dreamwarp nodded and went to help Drake carry Adam. "We need to get out of here as fast as we can. Do you think we can run to cover in time to avoid being seen?"

[Darastrix]

"We could make a smoke screen while we go," Imobel suggested. "I'm about tapped out of fire, but I think I can still manage some smoke." She cut her eyes at Wisdom. "Can you run, or do I need to carry you?"

[tuo]

Drake clenches his fist and quickly produces his own smoke screen to help obscure them from view. "Well let's go!" He starts to move to try and reach some cover while carrying Adam with Dreamwarp.

[Kender Bard]

Dreamwarp rubbed her fire sign, thickening and expanding the smokescreen as she started to run after, helping to support Adam.

Wisdom winced and hobbled after. "Just take my hand please," he muttered to Imobel. "You can drag me, and I'll try to keep up."

[Darastrix]

"Fine," she said shortly, grabbing his wrist in a strong grip. "But if you start dragging too much, I'm carrying you." With that, she quickly added her own smoke and began pulling Wisdom after her.

[tuo]

As the group makes it's escape through the smoke cover, they barely avoid getting struck by a wild barrage of fire, lightning and exploding rock shrapnel.

Once the group got away from the palace they could see soldiers already moving around the streets. "Dammit, we gotta find a way out of here fast. Which way Dreamwarp?" Drake asks her as he looks around, keeping an eye out for any guards who may start coming there way.

[Kender Bard]

Wish we'd brought more winds... Dreamwarp thinks ruefully. Her eyes stray towards a grate firmly set in the ground to allow rain and sewage to pass. Her stomach rolls at the thought of going down there but...

Moving quickly, she let go of Adam and went to the grate, kneeling next to it and rubbing her sign, muttering. Taking a deep breath, she called on the last reserves of her strength and held her hands just above the metal and poured on the fire as hot and hard as she could until the bars glowed red hot along all the edges. Standing up, she stomped down with the heel of her boot as hard as she could, smirking in triumph as the metal gives and breaks, allowing them access to the sewers.

[Darastrix]

"Oh, yeah. This is going to be fuuun," Imobel said as the group made its way into Morilanta's sewers. It was a small consolation that the city wasn't anywhere near Talen'sul's capacity. As it was....

"Remind me to burn my clothes when we get out of this," she muttered as she helped Wisdom along.

[tuo]

Drake moved to the sewer grate and between Dreamwarp and him managed to ease Adam down safely, though after getting Adam down, Dreamwarp gets a good look at Drake's right hand, showing a wind sign.

[Kender Bard]

"Drake!" Dreamwarp gasped softly. "Where did you get that Wind sign?"

Wisdom grunted once he was down the sewer grate, and tried to cover his face with his sleeve. "He found it in the road. Can we go now?"
