I have bad news. RL is calling, so I won't be able to be on for quite a while, so I am going to have to withdraw for now. I apologize for the sudden departure and hope you all have fun.

Zora rushes in as well, starknife at the ready.
Zora nods to Balthasar, agreeing with his decision for now. It would be a long trek to the Walled Homes, and if she was honest with herself, she was scared to find out if they didn't make it.
Back alleys and holes in the walls. "They won't be easy to reach. They will most likely be holed up in the walled district on the western side of the city. We did have a stash of supplies before, but nothing can be sure at the moment."
"I know of group of people that usually know what's going on in town," Zora speaks up. "They're small and survivors, so they should still be around." I pray to Desna that that is so. Oh, Desna, lead me to my friends once more and guide my steps here in this place that was once a safe haven.
"I'll take the next watch as well," Zora says, preferring to be with Arianna.
"It's because bad creatures came and hurt this city like they tried to hurt you," Zora explains in a quiet voice as she crouches and places a comforting hand on Bitey's head.

Though not leveled, Kenebres still looks as bad as Zora had feared. Maybe worse. "We're not out of a pinch yet," she comments, looking at the piles of devastation.
With the demon down that had been threatening Bitey, Zora turns and moves to the one after Arianna now. Getting into a flanking spot, Zora swipes at its side to get its attention.
With her weapon hopefully ready, Zoranda charges at the creature attacking Bitey. Still keeping her nose covered, Zora swipes at the demon with her starknife, trying to flank it with her smaller companion.
Zora carefully inhales through her sleeve, trying not to let any of the cloud reach her nose.
"Resistant?" Zora mutters to herself, a bit confused on what to do. Her starknives weren't special...the scale! With a burst of inspiration and just a bit of hope that this would actually work, Zora pulls out her scale and uses it on her starknife.
As Bitey almost cuts himself on the 'pretty sword', Zora thinks to herself, If we're down here much longer, everyone will end up having a chance to save him. Let's hope the surface is close. Zora puts the note in a safe spot for the moment. While it did contain some very good information, Zora had doubts that any 'crusader' would act on it, though they would certainly want that beautiful sword. There was better chance at something happening if she simply took the initiative to investigate on her own rather than leave it to the higher ups. Besides, they still didn't know if there was anyone left on the surface. The note didn't bode well with such confident strokes.
"Uh, guys. This is one very unnerving letter," Zora points out. "Seems this group is connected to the attack above, and the leader of it all, too. What should we do with this?"
"What...just happened?" Zora questions, staring at the dead cultists. She shivers at the sight, sure some evil work was at foot.
Focusing on the enemy in front of her, Zora continues to lash out with her starknife.
After the first barrage, Zora rushes into the room by Vance and begins to attack as well, though all the jostling from getting into the crowded chamber throws her off target.
Added Zora's token.
With such a crowded opening at the moment, Zora presses herself by the doorway out of sight of the arrow shots until the way is clear enough to rush through.
Zora nods and prepares her starknife, her thoughts still back on her blunder. Seems like some of them are starting to notice, Zora thinks, worried. Let's hope the surface is just around the corner for now.
"Thank you, Bitey. That was very brave. And stupid, but very brave," Zora tells him rubbing his head.
Zora leaps forward when she sees Aria fall. "Arianna! No!" Seeing her friend below and impaled Zora lets out a whimper. "Someone do something! Quick! She needs help!" Zora shouts, growing desperate as she realizes she can't do anything in this situation.
Running for her friends, Zora takes her starknife and goes at the last standing enemy.
"Arianna and Bitey are out there!" Zora objects, pulling out her starknife and rushing forward. No one's going to disappear on me this time!
Zora nods, but isn't as eager as the rest. I hope they're right about this. We're basically assuming they're evil based off of another man's words. Hopefully this isn't going to go ill.
Zora looks quite worried as the man hands the goblin a potion so readily. Already seeing Bitey try to open it, Zora quickly stops the little guy. "This is a potion, Bitey. This will heal 'boo-boo's, okay? Really, really, big ones. So don't drink it unless you have a really big boo-boo." He's going to drink it as soon as I turn my back, isn't he? Well, these people have to learn how he is somehow.

Not much to do for level 2, but I'll get it changed and posted up when I get home from work.
"I could do with some resting," Zora says. "I'm still a bit sore from that dwarf's attack, and this place is the safest we'll probably find for a while."
"Anna and I know a few tricks, but should we really be concerned with this with the more pressing matter of not knowing how to get home?"
Zora coughs a bit and leans over to whisper to the soon to be victim, "Do not try the Five Kings Golden, or it'll be trying you for a week."
"Doesn't appear to be of Iomedaen origin," Zora comments. She silently resists the urge to unwrap our her own to compare.
"What does it do?" Zora asks them.
"Alright. Let's hurry across then. Who knows if another shake will open the rift wider," Zora warns.
"Your home down here is probably the safest place you could be, really," Zora comments. Zora thinks of asking to leave their wounded, but stops. I'd rather move on with them, than leave this bunch of bigots in their midst. Let's keep moving.
"Most people don't like being prodded about things they'd rather not talk about. I find it quite rude as well," Zora says. "Aravashnial's people were probably of the group that pushed them out, and are probably still alive to boot."
You can't take 10 to aid another. Otherwise, Zora has +0, so she definitely won't be the main lifter of the group.
"Wait, Bitey. Don't you remember the last person we just ran into?" Zora says, rubbing her shoulder from the memory. "Let's figure out what's going on first. Hello? Can we ask what it is you're doing down here?"
Rubbing her sore shoulder, Zora moves to collect her thrown starknife. "We should probably move on soon before he tries to stab one of us through the heart."
Zora growls slightly as she recovers from the sudden blow, her tail swishing angrily. "Fine. Have it your way," she yells, slinging her starknife at him.
Kneeling down, Zora grabs Bitey's arm and pushes the ka-bob into his mouth. "Be a good Bitey and eat. Slowly."
"We don't wish to disturb you. We just want to find our own way back to the surface. That's all," Zora adds.
I can't see a thing! Frustrated, Zora attempts to cast Dancing Lights right in the middle of the chaos hoping to dispel even a little bit of the darkness.
Hearing the sudden commotion, Zora peeks back into the chamber to find...nothing. What is going on? Zora wonders, pulling out her starknife as she tried to make out anything in the black darkness.
While Zora was looking on at the statues in sympathy, Aravashanial's stories makes bile rise in her throat. "Like true crusaders, they put their lives on the line and their children are persecuted by the vile men who hide behind the walls. Wonder how they feel now that real evil is on their doorstep," Zora says, spitting on the ground for emphasis. Unwilling to stay in such a despicable place, Zora moves ahead and out of the chamber, waiting there until the others catch up.
"Thanks, Bitey," Zora replies, patting the small goblin on the head.
"There are many sad events surrounding the crusades," Zora points out, her thoughts beginning to stray to her own parents. "The crusaders and those close to them experience more than most."
