Blackchapel - Afternoon - the Sewers
The force missiles simply wink out of existence once they reach the creature.
He laughs once more. "You are no threat. I think it is time once more that you battle Sir Edmund..."
As he states that, from the darkness of the side tunnels appear several shapechangers all wearing Sir Edmund's face and a top hat with fancy suits. The group circles together back to back and are trapped!

"You stated you would show us the way out fiend!" as Wyatt says that mists down one tunnel begin to swirl and the Edmund's from that tunnel raise their hands to avert their faces from the fog.

Sodo smiles, "Yes I said I would show it to you, I did not say I would allow you to use it!"
The enemies all draw bejeweled daggers that look like the one Wyatt is handling but are not exact.

Wyatt's eyes go wide, "That's it, the dagger..." He turns and hands it to Bannock, still wrapped in burlap. "Take it, flee.. return in three days and you will be able to defeat him!"
Wyatt raises his hands and sings a song of Thunder, all of the shapechangers are forced back into their tunnels knocked off of their feet, all but Sodo who Wyatt charges, his rapier in hand.
For a split second he turns back, "Fly, you fools!" Then rushes forward at Sodo, whose look of horror indicates that indeed Wyatt has discovered his dirty little secret...
"Of course!"Khalid responds to Wyatts gesture with the dagger. "Bannock, I know you aren't one to flee, but we've got to go. Wyatt has given us our only chance, we cannot waste it."
Come, let's make a run for it.
Mrco heads out.
Derrick pauses as Wyatt rushes forward, and the others call to go. Finally, he looks to his battle-brother. "Bannock. We need to go. Better we live to fight again, and return to cleanse this creature from our city."
He steps back, but doesn't fully retreat until he's sure the cleric is on his way as well. "Come!"

For two heartbeats Bannock's will stands upon a knife's edge. His red-rimmed eyes, deep in the battleheart, stare daggers at Sodo and the shape-changing Xeno scum. His right fist TREMBLES with lust for battle, to strive and slay, and, should he fall, then let all know that he was the Divinty's finest!
But then Wyatt's sacrifice would count for naught.
"To withdraw in disgust is not apathy," he spits out, at last turning and following his brother Derrick, cradling the dagger that appears to mean so much.

The mists engulf you all...
Follow me through the Mists...
As the mists begin to recede, you hear a voice speak. "Who goes there?"
