She was about to give her answer to Robert when Edict spoke. She grumbled low at his interruption, but he had a point. There had to be something bigger at work here. She thought back to the rumors she heard when she first got into town, but was this all truly the work of one mage? 

[b]”Oh hey, look at that! I need to use the restroom! Battle always causes my bowels to vacate."[/b] She watched Edict with a suspicious eye as he brushed past her, announcing his trip to the outhouse.  [color=darkcyan]”As you can see we’re not much of a group, just a bunch of people stuck in the same room, fighting the same battles”[/color] Her gaze snapped back to Robert and looked him over a moment. He seemed a bit older than her. Not by much she figured, but he towered over her in height. He was clumsy, impulsive, loud … but she could tell he saw his own share of battles. Her eyes swiftly traced over the scar on his eye, and that sword...There was something about his sword, and it was the sword more than anything else that she chose her next words carefully. 

[color=darkcyan]”Look at this place, the chaos these things have caused and the ruin they’ve left this place in. Their guards fought hard, and still, so many were lost. I’ve no idea how they would’ve fared against this demon … Aezophyl as he just called him.”[/color] she glanced over at Edict once more, observing the portal he opened with narrowed eyes.[color=darkcyan]”This town is going to need all the help it can get.”[/color], she looked back at Robert as she continued, [color=darkcyan]”So I won’t stand in the way of those who are just looking to help. I have my own way of doing things, but I do agree we’ll do much better as a group than on our own. Get in my way however, and I’m not responsible for your wellbeing.[/color]. Her nose wrinkled as she glanced over at Edict. She sighed heavily, she knew she was coming off as a bitch, but she wasn’t going to make any exceptions. [color=darkcyan][i]Trust no one[/i][/color] the thoughts kept rolling over in her mind. [color=darkcyan]”All I’m saying is watch out for yourself and be careful. Don’t take stupid risks, and if we’re going to win against this thing, we’re going to need to work together. Someone charging at them like an arrogant ass ‘will’ get themselves killed. Be smart.[/color] The golden ring around her eyes glittlered as a light flicked from the portal before it faded. She glanced at Edict once more then started walking towards the injured dwarf with hopes of catching up with Tirarrian.

Davik limped into the clinic, he had several burns all over his body and a large laceration on his left thigh where one of the skeletons had swung his sword in an attempt to disable him. He wasn’t a large or overbearing man. Only standing at about 5’10”, he was your regular soldier. Brown hair swayed over his brow, tan skin and handsome light brown eyes completed his look. 

[color=#CC0000]"How many casualties are we looking at?[/color] “What no smile today?” he grinned at her, his pain echoing in his voice. Ignoring his own attempt at charm, he simply answered her. “We don’t know yet, but I can tell you it’s alot. I saw Maria out there at one point, so I can tell you that you have her help in all of this, but I’m not sure how many she was able to save or help. I lost track of everything as we headed deeper into the skeleton raid. There was a group of civilians who managed to control a battle in the inn, thank the gods. I don’t know what we would’ve done without them” His sentences were swift and choppy, interrupted every now and then with a grunt. But it was as if he tried to get everything out in one breath, suddenly afraid if the next one would be his last
