Cleaning the blood off of her blade, Darya turns to lead Telerin over to Sario. "Thanks, you've got a good eye for openings in a fight Sario. How are you holding up Telerin?"
As fine as can be expected, she comments.
"Lets get moving, then." Kelly suggests, "The sooner we clear this place out, the sooner we can get you some help."
"I will stay with Telerin. Thank you Darya, my mother and father taught me to always look for an opening if I am not engaging a foe." Sario says staying by the door but not in the way.
"I should probably not be the first one through this, but I can open it and stand aside," Aberus says, gesturing at the door.
"I'm ready when you are, Aberus." Uriel says, poised to burst through when the cleric opens the door.
Arloric and Uriel turn up a couple things of interest in the former library. True to their names, the wrecker demons have largely destroyed most of the rooms contents, including the remains of a pair of humanoids. Although its difficult to discern any other details from their thoroughly pulverized bodies and armor, Arloric finds a gore-soaked morningstar constructed from a dull gray metal. A small charm of Iomedae's holy symbol dangles from the bottom of its haft. Surprisingly, it is the only object in the room that seems to have withstood the abrikandilus' wrath.
Under detect magic, the morningstar glows with two magical aura, one indistinct and the other minor conjuration. Further inspection reveals the haft is hollow enough to fit a single scroll.
Aberus opens the door to a display hall. Plinths and cabinets stand open or smashed here, their contents either destroyed or looted. The other exits are on the north and west walls.
Sario continues to watch the door out, once it is discovered there is a scroll she takes a peak to see if she knows maybe the language to help out.
Arloric smiles wolfily when they find the morningstar.
"Let us inherit thine arms, Iomedae!" he says. "This will probably help us open doors the chime cannot!"
"Just the scroll we need! That must mean the gods are with us, right?"
"Damn right, Kelly!"
Arloric holds up the scroll.
"Who'd like to try lifting Telerin's blindness? I could...kind of? I'm no priest, but I've seen enough of them cast spells like this that I could probably do the same, but if one of us has a surer chance of getting it right, they should have it."
Aberus says, "Let me try. While I can't manage it on my own yet, I am familiar with that spell."
Aberus takes the scroll and unrolls it, then reads the words magically inscribed on it. When he finishes, magic courses through him as the writing on the scroll fades away. He walks over next to Telerin and says, "I'm going to touch your shoulder now. After this, you should be able to see again." And then he does.
The film is removed from her eyes by the power of the gods. She blinks as she looks around
Thank you my friends, and to the god whose power enforced the magic of the scroll.
Arloric claps her on the shoulder and gives her a hug.
"Welcome back to the world of sight! Ready to blast some demons with arcane power?"
"Truly, great powers look favorably upon us. Let us not disappoint them."
"Good to see those pretty eyes actually focusing again Telerin, glad to have you back in action." Darya says with a warm smile.
I hope that I can be more help to this esteemed group now that my eyesight has been restored. she says.
"We ready to press the attack?" Arloric asks.
"Ready when you are!" Kelly replies
"Then once more into the breach." Darya says with a grin, leading the way forward.
Sario moves to the middle of the group to keep her options more open on how to contribute to the clearing of this place.
These foes must be driven back. she says.

Alexa wordlessly clutches her gladius. "Rip and tear, until it is done."
"Let's go."

:)
With a thought, Darya once again manifests the golden halo above her head, radiating light as she throws open the door before her.
Sario readies her Scimitar in her right hand, her left hand free to cast as she needs too.
I am prepared to continue.
Arloric moves over to join Darya at the door.
Darya presses on the western door, but finds it locked and barred from the other side.
Alexa moves up to unlock the door.
Alexa struggles fruitlessly with the lock for several minutes before realizing that it's likely beyond her talents.
Arloric wordlessly offers Alexa the magic chime.
Alexa glares at the door before ringing the chime.
Sario keeps her eyes on the other door leading north
Kelly readies herself to dash through the door as soon as it opens, unless it becomes immediately obvious that it would be a bad idea.
Arloric draws his seax and readies himself like Kelly does.

Darya assumes a ready stance beside Alexa, blade raised, stifling a tiny hint of a smile.
