[color=87CEEB][i]He did it again.[/i][/color] The third time now. Eun-Ji quickly learned that Leon Solaire was a man who can be depended on when it came to quickly making a decision and acting on said decision. It also meant that he tended to proceed with whatever his plan was without actually allowing his teammates to voice their opinion about it, and such impulsiveness can be as equally dangerous as being indecisive. The one saving grace in the situation was the fact that Eun-Ji had seen Leon pulled the same move before during their sparring match, and thus she knew what those marbles will cause before it even happens.

She briefly looked at Zarra, which seemed to still be confused by the general situation, and said simply to him: [color=87CEEB]"It is time to fight, Mr. Travendour. I suggest using the opportunity that I will shortly create for us."[/color]

Both the guards who were fighting for their dear lives and the mages who were preoccupied with attempting to snuff those lives out were caught by surprise as the light and high pitched noise blinded and disoriented them. "Arggh, my eyes! My ears!" shouted the Kinetic mage as he was forced to release his grapple on the muscular guard, resorting to covering his face as he hunkered down at one corner of the room while waiting for the blindness to go away. It was too late for him to attempt to deafen the noise.

The Internal Chemical mage fared somewhat better. Though she too was forced to stop her assault on the muscular guard, she quickly shifted to using Telekinesis on a nearby table which she remembered about, moving and shifting it so that it lied on its side to cover her as she hunkered down behind it, trying to recover.

As for the two guards, the swordsman fell to the ground screaming in pain, his left arm a mangled mess. Either out of an instinct for self-preservation or due to training, he pulled out his sword with his right hand as if to protect himself with it, though he remained on the floor as he wrestled with the agonizing pain, blindness, and disorientation. The muscular wrestler, still affected by the Internal Chemical magic subjected onto him, struggled and failed to get back up. Being blinded, deafened, and weakened, he remained on the floor. Both guards then, were for the moment alive but effectively rendered incapable.

As for the Blood Mage, the most dangerous of the bunch, he received the full attention of the Lotus Sentry agent exactly for that very reason. Eun-Ji knew he was the priority target. Remaining where she were, she drew from the light and sound around herself, Zarra, and by extension Carmillia that was coming from behind them as soon as Leon's marbles exploded to protect their sights and hearing while also obtaining energy. Making full use of her capability at Free Casting, her hand prepared to throw her dagger even as she cast Sonic Blast to significantly amplify the high pitched sound to a higher extreme with the intention of knocking out all that were present within the room, or at the very least stunning them even further. And this amplification was centered, of course, very near to the Blood Mage's ears. To top it off, the dagger flew from her hand, aimed at the Blood Mage's head.

The Blood Mage attempted to protect himself just as his comrades did. Yet like them, he had no way of knowing what kind of attack might came for him. Thus, he created a mighty, thick shield with the Sign of the Ram to defend himself. This deflected the dagger that Eun-Ji threw at him but did little to protect him from the Sonic Blast. He fell to the ground roughly, a pained grimace on his face.

Leon was through to the Cargo Hold without much trouble. The guards and mages were disoriented even before Eun-Ji escalated their pain further with the Sonic Blast, allowing him to slip through them quickly. As he opened the trapdoor and went in to the Cargo Hold, he would hear the noise behind him significantly amplified by Eun-Ji's spell.

As for Carmillia and Zarra, protected from the light and the sound, they were then in position to fully take advantage of the situation with both the guards and the mages disoriented. Additionally however, they can also hear multiple hurried footsteps coming from behind them...[hr][center]Dory[@Jasbraq] | Manfred[@Force and Fury][/center]

Reunited with Manfred, Dory were able to extract herself from the dangerous brawl raging throughout the front and middle part of the Main Deck. The Kerreman Magusjaeger were not only intimidating but also knew his way out of a violent situation; especially one that were nowhere as threatening as a true battlefield. Those few still brave and foolish enough to get in their way were quickly dealt with; a little bit of pain was often sufficient to deter such attackers, being that they were in the end nothing more than civilians fueled by adrenaline. Even those that wielded guns were only using it to shot at nearby threats or attackers, not aiming their dangerous armament at particular targets with purpose in their mind.

And thus, Manfred led the woman that he had started to care for deeply away from the brawl, at a faster pace than the rate upon which the chaos was spreading. He fully knew where they needed to go, heading straight for the Cargo Hold with Dory closely behind him. As they drew near to their destination they came upon the sight of two individuals, a woman and a man, moving hurriedly in front of them. And further beyond these two, they can see the familiar figures of Carmillia, Zarra, and Eun-Ji standing at the doorway of the room with the trapdoor to the Cargo Hold.[hr][hider=Quick overview of the situation:]
1. Leon: Used his marbles trick to disorient the guards and mages inside the room with the trapdoor leading to the Cargo Hold. Managed to get into the cargo hold. If he doesn't do anything to dampen the collateral effect of the Sonic Blast on himself, it will be like someone shouted loudly right next to his ears.

2. Eun-Ji: Outside of the room where the trapdoor to the Cargo Hold is located. Used Sonic Blast to significantly amplify the high pitched sound from Leon's marbles.

3. Carmillia & Zarra: With Eun-Ji, protected from the light and sounds. Have the opportunity to take advantage of the Sonic Blast that Eun-Ji had cast. Heard multiple hurried footsteps coming from behind.

4. Dory & Manfred: Safely extricated themselves from the chaotic brawl. Currently quite near to where Carmillia, Zara, and Eun-Ji are located. Saw Hilde Arnsberg von Regensbach and Jens Becker von Magdeburg in front of them.

5. Guards:
- Swordsman: Left hand practically destroyed by Zealous. Alive but in agony, laying on the ground suffering from excruciating pain, blindness, and deafness. Affected by the Sonic Blast, he is likely to be knocked out cold.
- Kastang Wrestler: Mind still addled and body weakened from Evanescent's Internal Chemical magic. Alive but helpless from weakness, blindness, and deafness. Affected by the Sonic Blast, he is likely to be knocked out cold.

6. The 4 Arcane Mages:
- Hilde Arnsberg von Regensbach & Jens Becker von Magdeburg: A couple of meters behind Carmillia, Zarra & Eun-Ji. In front of Manfred and Dory. Whether hostile or not to the team remains to be seen.
- Arne Voller von Meckelinburg-Kahler & Heinrich Wengeman von Glusdorf-Brandenstrass: By now, had noticed the magical signatures coming from the Cargo Hold and are both also heading there (The player characters does not know this).

7. The Traveler agents:
- Evanescent the Internal Chemist: Disoriented by Leon's marbles. She is in the center of the room, hiding behind an overturned table facing the doorway where Eun-Ji, Zarra, and Carmillia are standing. Affected by Eun-Ji's Sonic Blast, stunning her.
- Forceful the Kinetic Mage: Disoriented by Leon's marbles. Curling on one corner of the room, protecting his head with his arms. Affected by Eun-Ji's Sonic Blast, stunning him.
- Zealous the Blood Mage: Disoriented by Leon's marbles. Reflexively protected himself with the Sign of the Ram, managing to deflect Eun-Ji's dagger. Affected by Eun-Ji's Sonic Blast which were centered on him, he fell to the ground.
- Seer the Magnetic Mage: Location currently unknown.
- Firebrand the Arcane Illusionist: Location currently unknown.

8. Rioters and Revelers: Still engaging in a brutal chaotic brawl in and on the Main Deck, in the Front and Middle sections. The chaos and fighting are slowly spreading throughout the ship, however.
