"What are you talking about?" Ryvin says, equally shocked. Her head turns at the feeling of saidar - massive amounts of saidar being wielded nearby.
"Alright, blow this!" she says, rising to her feet. "She can't touch us inside this dome with the One Power, but it won't stop her pitching rocks at us, if she's got the wit to do it! Let's please get out of here!"
Litheene jumps up immediately, being familiar with invert she realizes what happened.
Link! She shouts, spreading her hands to Ryvin, Tesliin and the Aes Sedai.
Ryland scrosses his arms and looks up at the largest giant. "Let me see if I understand this. All ogre had been one people. Then thousands of years ago, your kin split off, going across the sea and leaving something of importance here. Over the course of this time, this item has been lost or forgotten, and you and your kin are as night and day to the ones you left. Now to protect the honor of a people that have no idea what in the world your kin is talking about, you are going to kill them."
Ryland shakes his head at the large armored giant. "Makes absolutely no damned sense at all to me. Shouldn't your kin be more worried about finding this thing that was lost than killing your own kind that you left?"
Seeing the Ogier? shift, she began to walk forward and as she holds her sword down to the ground she smiles at the pair of rear guard she raises her sword in salute, as she asks holding up the cloth remnant.
Which one of you odd folks dropped this so i can properly return it, in the manner it was lost she says holding out the tower with two ravens cloth remnant she had.
A flicker at the corner of your eye draws your attention to the red dome, or as you look, you see that the red dome is no longer there. instead you see a very angry pair of women.
"I was never taught to link!" Ryvin protests. "How quickly could you teach it to me?"
Amorial smiles sadly showing his large teeth, "If this is what must be done then let us get it done with".

Whereas Alathea had shown no reaction to the strange Aes Sedai's haranguing, she bolts upright at Litheene's command. Surrendering herself to saidar, she joins her power to that of the other woman.
With only a glance at the Aes Sedai, Tesliin stands and moves to help form the circle, taking Litheene's hand.
The large ogier steps aside and addresses Ryland as Amorial and the smaller Ogier begin to fight.
Would you be so quick to seek help looking for your sword that you lost from your greatest enemy who is trying to kill you? Such is the situation we have here. From ancient history, it was said that we were chosen to protect this item, for with it, it can alter the very pattern for He who battles the greatest threat to the world. But, in the wrong hands, or the immature, this item can be twisted allow for great damage to the pattern. Irreparable damage. For to have lost it is the greatest insult to our ancestors. To appease the ancestors, those that have offended must die.
6 guardsmen, including one with a yellow sash denoting rank, turn at your question. Looks of shock, horror, and worry cross their faces.
A smirk crosses the ranked soldiers face My dear, you just signed your death warrant by showing that
KILL HER the man shouts, and as one, 5 soldiers descend upon vala.
with a horrific groan, wood snapping, plaster pulverized to dust, and beams being crushed like twigs, a large section of the ruin is lifted up and hurled up and away from the property.
Where once stood a ruin, now a clear space with the female channelers standing grouped together inside a blue opaque dome.
"Using your own words about my sword back at you, it seems like I would have left my sword in someones care and they lost it to my enemy.
Now the enemy has it, so instead of fighting my enemy I want to waste my time hunting down and killing the person I left it with.
Personally I would think it would be better to get my sword back and kill my enemy with it. Maybe even ask the person I left it with where I could start looking."
Ryland looks up and shakes his head at the ogier. "So you are trying to help "He who battles the greatest threat to the world", well so are we. by killing people that are on your side are you not doing the enemies work for him?
Round 8:
Rhoekk takes a small step forward, off the stairs, and knocks another arrow on his bow, then looses a flurry of arrows, all aimed at the Sul'dam.

Vala shifts her sword slightly its gleam catching the sun as she than rocks back on her back heel and springs forward her sword Gander flowing as if water, unleashing a series of slashes in a dance of deadly steel against her 6 attacks in one fluid looking movement.
damage where applicable
Ryvin snarls when she sees the sul'dam again. "You truly want to go down this way?" she says, her voice low and dangerous. "You really want to try me on again? Fine. Here. I. Come."
The aura of saidar around the Ebou Dari flares, and red sparks seem to dance through the white radiance as she takes a step forward, outside the protective dome.
"Die!" Ryvin shouts at the matron and her sul'dam handler, and weaves of Air and Water snap out at the sul'dam, swirling around her. Ice materializes out of thin air, sticking to the sul'dam.
She's just referring to her attack rolls on her whirlwind attack.
Tesliin, there is a platoon of soilders at the door and some armored Ogier, we cannot hold them long [\b]
A'mar rushes back to hold the doorway.
[b] Tesliin, are you ok; how can I help!
A'mar rushes in with sword and sheild ready.
Tesliin gives A'mar a stern look as he comes in. "A'mar, please keep watch while we discuss matters."
** spoiler omitted **
"We are here seeking a friend who was taken from us."
Engineering; untrained
Rhoekk, after having easily dispatched the sul'dam to the lethal damane, whips around at the sound of shrieking. Seeing another sul'dam howling for guards, he pulls out his bow and shoots an arrow. It strikes her in the chest, stopping her from screaming, but the damage is done. A glance beyond the shrubs shows movement of a guardsman who was standing at the rear entrance of the grounds.
Fia, having leapted out of the building just as the aes sedai begins her maneuvering to take command of the situation, plows through the heavy brush and flashes the aiel hand language at rhoekk, asking if he needs help. His reply is simple keep the lightning off of me
As the unnamed Aes Sedai brings the group under control, Ryvin, chomping at the bit to protect herself and her new found freedom, channels and surrounds all the women with a ward, preventing the one power from affecting them. Unknowingly, her ward cuts the weaves that the Aes Sedai held upon the matron, preventing the threat from striking out. Looks of horror and shock surround everyone as the real implication is firmly grasped. To reinforce their predicament, the matron returns the favor...
by ripping up half of the mansion and throwing it into a neighboring building.
Amorial begins to spar with his opponent from earlier that day, while ryland begins to discuss the fallicy of the Ogier's logic.
Movement catches Ryland's eye as the guardsmen move away from the door, and surround someone.
the Ogier looks down at Ryland. different people have different beliefs. You believe that this Dragon will protect you from the greatest evil. I believe that the Empress, may she live forever, will defeat the greatest evil, with your Dragon bound to her service. An odd look overcomes his face as he continues to speak, as if the words are being pulled out of him.
With your intervention here, our plans now must accelerate to capture the Dragon and send him to the Empress, so that he may bow to the Ruler of the World.
Grim determination overcomes the Aes Sedai's face.
Listen you fools. You may have just cost us everything. But there is a chance. And dont question me about this, just do as your told. You, sister, you are in charge of this.Her hand snaps out, pointing to Tesliin.
Below the mansion, in the second sub-level, is a ter'angreal. One that can harm the Dragon, along with any male channeler. All of you need to go in there and need to secure it. The white tower must have this secured. With this in the hands of the Seanchan, the Dragon is at risk. It's a rod, pale blue in color, made of glass, with 9 hash marks upon it. I know because i was forced to work on this, to make it work. The matron isnt the only one who knows how this works. there are 5 other pairs who worked with me, and all know how to use it. They must be destroyed.S
Standing up, she squares her shoulders. Go, now. I fear that should others get this device, all hope will be lost.
All the soldiers lash out at you, swords rising and falling.
Amorial Round 8
Amorial would love to debate the points just made by Ryland and the Ogier but he saves his breath for his opponent whose skill likely outmatches his. It is only by tapping into his inner Ogier rage, the rage that while always there is almost never let out, that Amorial can defeat a more skilled martial opponent.

Please drop the power ward!
Litheene reacts quickly to the building being demolished I can't let her unleash more weaves, this must end now. She feels the power of the circle filling her Without much power of my own left, I'm still stronger than you with my sisters' strength at my side, assembling all of her confidence, Litheene draws all the power that she can, into her strongest shield.
Litheene then ties off the woven shield.
Ryland shakes his head. "Well then, it dose not seem that you will come to your senses. What is your intentions towards us now?"
Fia is suddenly (or not all that suddenly) not of a mind to take any further chances with this Seanchan pair, especially now that they seemed to have found some way of breaking free of a predicament no one should have been able to. It was time to quit playing nicely. In her experience, the best way to avoid being killed yourself was to strike first and strike hard, not giving the enemy opportunity to counter. Crouching low, she moves stealthily to the corner of the building and peeks around the corner. A pin-sized bead of fire shoots from her hand, blossoming into a full-fledged fireball as it streaks towards the pair of women.
[ooc]Sneak from Y26 to Z24 (Stealth )[/ooc]
" Not bad for those from men whose sigils i've never seen"Crouch low in left foot back and right hand extended out as if i was to charge through the one i was looking at, but than i spin again on the front foot letting my blade dance about to hit who i can

Kodokura moves quietly after the guard into the garden, ready to strike with the Power if needed. The sounds of a fearsome battle continue, and Kodokura would prefer to get a look at the situation before lashing out.
What was the result of my engineering check and am I back at the doorway?
As if in slow motion, you feel the shield slowly slide between the one power and the matron, shutting her completely off from the source. Even before she can fully react, a fireball erupts, throwing both the matron and her leash holder to the ground.
As the smoke clears from the fireball, both the sul'dam and damane lie still upon the ground, flames starting to burn their clothing.
"Ah," Ryvin says, blinking at the sight. "Right, then." Turning back to the group, she says: "Where are we going now?"
[ooc]Ryvin probably didn't hear about the ter'angreal, what with being busy with her attack on the sul'dam. Is the Create Ice-weave still working on the sul'dam, or didn't I have a chance to set it off at all?
the ogier easily blocks the blows and returns them in kind
Gm: is Ryland fighting? I imagine I see the orges fighting and generall melee in the behind them right?

Unwilling to break the circle at present, she barely hears the Aes Sedai as she concentrates on the circle. Seeing Litheene tie off the weave, she is surprised as the ball of fire consumes them, though she doesn't let it touch her face. Instead she turns to Ryvin. "It seems we have been commanded to fetch an item. We must get to the second sub-level of the mansion. Do you know of a path?"
A feeling of relief rushes through Alathea's body as Litheene's Shield cuts the Leashed One's link to saidar. Her shock at the explosion of a Fireball a scant moment later quickly turns to regret, even though she knows that the weave was all but certainly completed before the Leashed One was Shielded.
After a moment's hesitation to ensure that no more such surprises are forthcoming, Alathea withdraws from Litheene's Circle, but remains her embrace of saidar and, without waiting for the Aes Sedai's unlikely approval, begins to make her way towards the bodies of the Leashed One and her Leash Holder.
