Flicker visibly winced when Aura set off a series of Scorching Rays at the guards, and the discomfort remained on their face after they saw what such an attack had reduced one of the guards to. [color=f7941d]"So much for taking one alive,"[/color] they said. They also tensed up when someone popped their head out of the door of the tower, only for the figure to retreat back inside without even the smallest hint of concern. 

[color=f7941d]"Weird,"[/color] Flicker muttered. More agitated sparks jumped from their hair as they regarded their group once more. Arkisz seemed to want to get closer to the tower, so Flicker quickly followed after him. The fire genasi watched as their companion performed Detect Magic and remained quiet for a moment so he could get the best read on their current situation. After a moment, Flicker spoke again. [color=f7941d]"Anything?"[/color] they said, giving a pause so that the Vedalken could answer. They then continued, [color=f7941d]"The door's made of wood, so I could burn or break it down very easily."[/color] As if to demonstrate, they cast Produce Flame, causing a small fire to form in the palm of their hand. [color=f7941d]"But I have a feeling they're probably waiting on the other side for us. What do you think we should do?"[/color] Their question seemed to be more directed towards Arkisz than the rest of the party, but anyone was free to answer.
