[h3]Caravan Escort[/h3] The Robed Man thought he could escape. He thought wrong. He was about to hit the current that would take him to freedom when suddenly a surge of water knocked him up into the air and into the path of Ssarak's hammer. It was a solid blow that, despite being the first hit he's taken, was enough to knock him out cold. And when he crashed into the rocks it did little to assist in his recovery, forcing his head under the waters. If no one came to rescue him soon, he would drown. And with the robed man out of commission his doppelganger by the bridge vanished into thin air. The bridge was quiet once again. But instead of a small group of guardsmen, there were only corpses and wounded. This bridge would be left undefended now for an indefinite amount of time. The only ones alive were the guard captain and one of the minor guardsmen, and perhaps the robed man if the others came to his aid quick enough. The caravan master collapsed in a heap. He had been menaced by demons this entire time and fell to the shock and fear of it all. It'll take a few minutes before he'd come to and make the group move on, hopefully before they cause any more trouble. [h3]Lucilia Riovas[/h3] Despite his obvious weakness Khan continued to strain himself as he lurched forward to tend to the elf. Myrn was her name, if Lucilia remembered correctly. She was just passing by the college searching for someone, but with Krogal's arrival and embrace of the elf Lucilia could correctly guess that Myrn found who she was looking for. An elf and an orc... Lucilia supposed there were always stranger pairings. That wasn't the top of her concern however. Tyrael arrived and mentioned something about worms in her body. [color=crimson]"Godammit..."[/color] Lucilia said underneath her breath. New students arriving unannounced was one thing, but now this. Stepping forward to ensure that Tyrael doesn't proceed with his butchery of an operation Lucilia prepared to take over herself before Rathel stepped forward and explained what was happening. Things were just going for bad to worse, but at least he seemed to have a safer solution. Even Lucilia was uncertain if she could save Myrn given the new threat. She had removed parasites before, but these abominations were obviously a different breed of menace. Though Rathel's method still looked rather painful it served it's purpose. Myrn was purged of the vines and Lucilia quickly went to her aid to ensure that there was no further damage done. She took out a healing poultice and applied them to where she saw the most grievous of wounds. [color=crimson]"I am so sorry about that. I can assure you, this mistake won't be happening again. Is there anything we can do in compensation?"[/color] Than a twitch. The smell of blood. How long as it been since Lucilia had fed? She remembered taking a drink this morning- But than she remembered that it was Marrow Draught. Still imperfect and only staved off the thirst for so long. And she could smell the sweet blood from Myrn... Lucilia stood up. She had to fight this urge. She was stronger than that. It was too soon to let herself go so easily. But it would be unbecoming of her to just leave unexcused. She could hold back. It was only a minor hunger. [color=crimson]"But of course... We need to let you recover. Please... Krogal, Uicle, if one of you two could take Myrn to the Infirmary."[/color] Lucilia's voice was starting to get a bit stilted. The smell of fresh blood was alluring. Than she heard Tyrael call to her attention and directing her to Khan, who was starting to look more ill than Myrn was. This quickly snapped her out of her daze and went to Khan's aid. [color=crimson]"Honestly.... Let's get you somewhere to rest before we discuss what just happened."[/color] Using her vampiric strength Lucilia kept Khan up but also held onto him tightly. She wasn't about to let him slip out like last time, least he collapse from over exerting himself. She made a mental note to have an examination about Khan's health. While she was aware of Kudd's poison, something else was in the works to make Khan so weaken. Unless he still isn't taking his medicine like Lucilia constantly tells him to. [h3]Tyrael Marchosias[/h3] Tyrael was going to try to remove the barasites when he heard Uicle chastise him. Followed by Rathel explaining what was occuring and even Khan grabbing hold of him. Sighing Tyrael shifted his claws back to normal and escaped Khan's grasp. [b]"If you wanted to create a weapon against demons, you should have asked me. There are very little demons on the college for these vines to be used against."[/b] More worrisome however was that Khan was leaning on Tyrael. Khan was normally more poised than this, but these past few months have not been kind on the headmaster. And sure enough after Rathel removed the vines from the elf Khan fell to his knees. Tyrael simply sighed as he helped Khan to his feet. [b]"Professor Riovas."[/b] Calling out to Lucilia the fallen orc didn't need to say much else before the vampire came to the headmaster's aid. With that out of the way Tyrael had no more business here. He was about to walk away before stopping. There was one more thing he had to do here. [b]"Orc, Elf, when you both are in better health come to my office. There is a task I have for all of you. Khan I will give you the details when you are in better health."[/b] He didn't stay to hear their comments about his orders before heading back to his office. He needed to prepare the details and map out the directions he had for the newcomers. Paperwork wasn't something he liked to do, but that was part of life. He just hoped his penmanship was up to standard.
