The Underpass – Lost Haven, Maine

The Ambassador bristled with anger, tension crackling around her. Bach’s own fear of iron was quickly overshadowed by the intensity of emotion Odette was exuding. Her hands fluttered above the Archon, she spoke Words of Power for a levitation spell. The Archon’s hulking body lifted from the ground seamlessly by a few feet.

Odette felt the trap trigger and Joseph was now ensnared. It was a consolation prize for now but she fully intended for Joseph to suffer the consequences for crossing her and harming one of her ally’s. He was incredibly lucky she had other priorities.

“I am taking Racheli now. Our intruder is caught up in one my traps, I was beginning to wonder why I had set them at all.” Odette huffed returning to Lekh the Archon floating behind her, they still made low rumbles of pain.

“I will be opening a portal to transport Racheli safely away. This process takes complete concentration; it should only take me a few minutes to do it five minutes tops. Then we shall be in the clear. When the exchange is complete I will find you to repay you in kind with what we have previously discussed.” Odette promised gazing at Lekh.

Bach was at her side sadly regarding the Archon of the Old Earth. He knew he wouldn’t have been able to survive such a potent magical artifact the way the Archon did. Bach’s face a mask of empathy then returned to Odette’s side whispering in her ear, “I will protect the Archon while you work, My Lady. No one shall stop us today.”

Odette walked up to a pillar of the underpass smoothing her hand over the rough concrete centering her concentration on calming her thoughts, clearing her mind. Her eyes closed her pink lips spoke rapid fire French; she called for the Arcane Stream to open for her to show her it’s vulnerable cracks.

A magical blue light outlined her body, her bright blue hair raising off the back of her neck and underneath her jacket the faint outline of her tattoo on her back glowed through the fabric. Her brow creased as her hands floated away from the pillar and rose above her head with open palms. Her voice rose every time she repeated her calls to the Arcane Stream. Light split down the center of the pillar, a rip in the Arcane Stream starting to form. Unbeknownst to her, Racheli’s allies were on their way to throw another wrench in their plans. The precious few minutes ran on the clock for Racheli, threatening to take her further away from safety than ever before.

The Scholar

Kiralla bristled at Cyrendil’s blatant excuses of murder on top of calling her a power hungry child. Glaring angrily at the elf clenching her teeth as if the dirty rag was still in her mouth.

”So you murder people for admiring Daedra, do you? You went the wrong way, lad, Morrowind’s East. Of course, with all your Vigil shite, you’d probably have a hard time making it 50 meters into yer indiscriminate killing spree before you were taken down. Can’t have yer serial killer career cut short, can we Cyrodiil?” Cedric smirked. “Dunmer sure like their Azura, and this big green bastard probably gets off to carvings of Malacath every night, ain’t that right?” - @Dervish

Kiralla chimed in nearly growling at Cyrendil, “Y-you are despicable. Righteous call-calls for murder are still murder. Witch or not you had no pla-place of judgment to kill a w-woman unarmed in her own home.” She snapped at him. “You would do well to shuh-show mages more respect. We-we could very well be wuh-what stands between you and death while we are on the road.” Kiralla warned.

“What does it matter?” Finch dryly muttered to himself. ”Neither the Daedra or Divines has our backs at the moment...” - @Spoopy Scary

Acknowledging the beggar having heard his muttering, “Bad luck is-is what I woo-would blame this on.” Crossing her arms when she let her face relax some after moving on from Cyrendil her green eyes fell on Gaela who joined the group along with the other woman, the imperial warrior Fiona. It brought her some comfort knowing she wouldn't be the sole mage. Even with the whirlwind of stress imprisonment brought her; the shiest part of her heart held the tiniest and most mild appreciation for being in the company of two very lovely looking women. Her stress and logical mind roared over that in reminder that Kiralla knew next to nothing about them both.

Focusing instead on the blood stains on Gaela's robes and on Fiona's hands. She swallowed a guilty lump in her throat. There was no saving the town and as a group they’d be fools not to take full advantage of this opportunity to outsmart the noble families involved. They thought they had the upperhand with blackmail. Not vengeful by nature but Kiralla knew the more time she had to think out a plan the more successful she would be to escape this group with her good name intact.

“My name is Kiralla. We-we need to move on, there re-really isn’t any more time to be wasted here. Camlorn is our-our destination.” She said decisively pulling away from the gaggle of people her flame Atronach following obediently.

A'right, I'll post the collab in a few hours.

After which, I'll probably send Tonka off to get fuel and Tanya doing some parts shopping. If anyone wants to tag along for a collab with either of those, lemme know!

@Dervish

Iosif and Dex have fuel covered in spades my dear.
