Chres’s heart raced as he made his way to the clock tower. The success of his comrades’ mission was key to getting out of this whole mess. If they failed to get word to the Empire’s army, then who knows how much longer Chres would be stuck here.

Chres made it to the top of the hill where the clock tower sat. A crowd of people had gathered blocking his path to the plaza ahead.

[color=00aeef][i]Damn…[/i][/color] Chres thought. [color=00aeef][i]Damn, damn, damn![/i][/color]

There were too many people watching to make a move towards the tower. Too many people who could be with the cult.

“What happened?” A female on-looker asked.

“Don’t know.” Said a man next to her.

A second man chimed in, “I heard that some idiots attacked the clan.”

“You mean the cult.” Spat the man next to the woman.

“Bout time.” Said the woman. “Look at what’s happened to this town since those scum arrived.”

“Have you not been to the markets today?" Said the second man. "The clan has the town’s food under their control. ‘You don’t prod or enrage when seeking mercy from a Crazed’. Those fools may have lit a fire under the rest of us yet. Way I see it, best to sit quietly and live another day than to invoke the clan's wrath.”

The first man clicked his tongue in annoyance. The woman, however, seemed more concerned. “You think they’ll punish us over the actions of a few?”

“Perhaps not today,” Said the second man. “but if such attacks continue…”

Chres tuned out the rest. [color=00aeef][i]Sil,[/i][/color] he thought to his familiar, [color=00aeef][i]what do you see?[/i][/color] Anticipating a roadblock Chres had sent Sil to scout ahead.

[color=a2d39c][i]A birdie just plopped a nice milky white puddle atop a woman’s head. -Hehe, That's nice- She keeps screaming the words 'Oh my God! Oh my G-'[/i][/color]

[color=00aeef][i]Sil, focus![/i][/color]

[color=a2d39c][i]Oh! Right, right… hmmmmmm… Let’s see... Miss ‘Hair’s Been Bleached for Days’-[/i][/color]

[color=00aeef][i]Karina.[/i][/color] Chres corrected.

[color=a2d39c][i]Ah, yes- Miss ‘What You Said’ is stuck at the top of the tower. She’s pacing back and forth like a cat afraid of a puddle.[/i][/color]

Chres raised his brow. Did Sil actually make a coherent simile? [color=00aeef][i]She’s stuck?[/i][/color] Chres asked.

[color=a2d39c][i]Weeell, not really...[/i][/color] Sil corrected. [color=a2d39c][i]I suppose she could always just fly down from the giant hole in the floor, which is currently blocking her path. Speaking of which, where do you humans like to hide your wings, anyway?[/i][/color]

[color=00aeef][i]Sil… [/i][/color]

[color=a2d39c][i]No, really! Where do you put your wings?[/i][/color]

[color=00aeef][i]Sil, we don’t have wings.[/i][/color]

[color=a2d39c][i]Really?[/i][/color] Sil said, sounding surprised. [color=a2d39c][i]Weird… Humans are silly.[/i][/color]

[color=00aeef][i]Sil, what about the others?[/i][/color] Chres asked, trying to direct the conversation back on track.

[color=a2d39c][i]Don’t see ‘em.[/i][/color] Sil said causally. [color=a2d39c][i]Maybe they decided to say hi to that weird eyeless guy that showed up.[/i][/color]

Chres sucked in a breath. One of the Sightless was at the tower, and they had neglected to bring any crystal jade candles with them. Stupid.

[color=00aeef][i]Sil, go to Karina-[/i][/color] Chres said after a moment.

[color=a2d39c][i]Who?[/i][/color]

[color=00aeef][i]Miss ‘Hair’s Been Bleached for Days’.[/i][/color]

[color=a2d39c][i]Miss 'Hair as White as Snow'?[/i][/color]

Chres rolled his eyes. [color=00aeef][i]Yes, her. Go to her and let her know we are nearby and are working on a plan to assist.[/i][/color]

[color=a2d39c][i]Okie dokie, Mr. Porkie.[/i][/color]

[color=00aeef][i]Porkie?[/i][/color] Chres repeated. Sil merely replied with a giggle.

Chres shook his head. [color=00aeef]"I swear, its like pulling teeth with her."[/color] He directed to Octavio and Ferris. 

Pulling out his flask, Chres took a quick swig of his flavored water. [color=00aeef]"Karina's trapped on the roof. No sign of the others. Oh, and we got a Sightless somewhere inside."[/color]

Chres corked his flask and stashed it back into his shirt. [color=00aeef]"Probably not best to go charging in there, especially since they know what Octavio and I look like. I could construct a path for Karina to get down from, but that would be rather noticable. What I can do is construct a pathway that can get one us on level ground with the tower."[/color]

Chres made eye contact with Ferris. [color=00aeef]"If I do that, do you think you can get to the tower and back with your abilities?"[/color]
