Although the rogue's landing was not nearly as graceful as the monk's, it certainly hit a lot harder. Both Rala an her target go sprawling to the floor. But while Rala only sustained a pair of bruises from the fall, the cultist had been impaled through the heart by Rala's rapier. As she rose from her less than graceful landing and delivered her taunt, Rala would also throw a dagger at the only other cultist near Flicker. The dagger struck the cultist in the eye and pierced his brain, killing him instantly.

Only one cultist remained now. But before anyone could act a new voice speaks up from behind the last cultist. "You think yourself old, do you?" The voice asked. Suddenly, the final cultist jolted and let out a pained gasp as something stabbed him in the back. After a moment, the man fell to the floor and the old tiefling woman Aura had found on the upper level of the tower while investigating with her hawk was revealed to be standing behind him, his still beating heart clutched in her hand. "Oh dearie... You have no idea what old is." Having said that, the new arrival grinned at the party with sharpened iron teeth before biting into the heart as if it were an apple.

With the senses granted to him by detect magic, Arkisz would come to realize that she was the source of the strange and powerful magic he'd felt in the tower. Also, Arkisz, Flicker, and Plasm would come to realize through their respective knowledge in either arcane or religious matters that the old tiefling woman standing before them was not in fact a tiefling. Though they would be unable to determine what she really was without dedicated thought.

Once she had chewed and swallowed the chunk of heart she had bitten off, she spoke again. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nanna May Midnight, and I owe the six of you my most sincere gratitude."

With a crunch and a sizzle, Jørmund strikes the cultist in the back of the head, shattering the skull and frying the brain. The cultist falls to the floor and the strange magic surrounding him rises to the ceiling as it fades away.

The elves aren't wearing any metal and if they're carrying anything metal, it's hidden from sight by their robes.

Regardless of entry by window or door, all of you are still on the ground floor.

@Bartimaeus
Oh yeah, Arkisz definitely sees stuff. Check out the IC post for the specifics.

Plasm's Eldritch Blast struck the cultist square in the chest, launching the man back a few feet and sending him sprawling to the floor from which he did not rise again.

With no immediate danger distracting him, Arkisz was able to focus enough on the senses granted to him by his casting of Detect Magic. The strange magical energies he sensed on the cultists guarding the door were also present on the cultists within the tower. The magic was quick to fade once the cultists died, but while they lived, Arkisz noticed that whatever was effecting them wasn't just abjuration. Enchantment was also present in the strange energies these cultists gave off. Furthermore, now that he was within the tower, Arkisz was able to notice magical energies that had been blocked by the stone walls.

Specifically, he saw a large concentration of strange magic on the floor above through the wooden ceiling. It was similar to what Arkisz sensed on the cultists, only much more powerful and much more varied. The magic surrounding the cultists also seemed to be connected to the magic on the floor above. And whenever a cultist died, the magic surrounding them seemed to be drawn up towards the more powerful magic in the moments before it faded away.

The elf that Aura cast her Eldritch Blast towards simply tilted their head to one side to avoid the attack before regarding Aura with an utterly unimpressed expression adorning their androgynous features. "Do you believe yourself safe from the fire?" The elf asked in reply before snapping their fingers, calling down a flame-like radiance upon Aura. Though she managed to avoid the full force of the flame, it did manage to leave a small burn on Aura's forearm.

"We merely observe the battle yet still one of them attempts to strike us." The elf the commented to their fellow. "The impertinence, Emmyth. The unmitigated gall."

"Calm yourself, Elnaril." Emmyth counselled. "The work will be complete soon. We need only be patient."

OOC

Elnaril uses their reaction to cast Sacred Flame on Aura. Aura fails to dodge and takes 1 point of damage.
