Brae gave the councillor a dark glance, but managed to otherwise keep himself in check. "How do we get him, if the Order won't let you inside?" |
|
"Stand against me if you must, for of course you will. Conflict is just another part of this flawed reality. You need to cling to your concepts and purposes, your feeble honour and glory. None of it serves any purpose in the end. And the end draws close." - Krodalis Thaendil. "It really is amazing; she killed Kelan Wealer, not that I am complaining, but then the order welcomed her as their new leader. It makes one wonder if I were to ram a blade down her throat, would the monks then follow my commands?" - Mordain Thaendil. One of the Last Guardians. Suck it. | |

"Well, we could teleport, or trick them somehow. But I can't teleport and they will expect trickery and stealth. A diversion might work, though," Elandir said. "There are said to be magical disturbances inside, so they might think nothing of something similar. Any ideas?" |

"A fight, perhaps? But would have to be big, and in view of the entrance, to draw the guards." |

"I will not aid you if you intend to cause bloodshed," Medran said. "This makes things difficult," Elandir said, shaking his head. "I don't know how we could create a big enough fight, especially whilst avoiding bloodshed." |

Brae sighed. "Then we'll need another suggestion." |

"I can get both of you inside, if you will swear an oath not to harm the Ordermen or any innocent people," Medran said, after a moment's hesitation. "Just in and out as quietly as possible." Elandir looked at Brae. |

"We're not here to harm the innocent." He returned Elandir's gaze. "Only to do what we have to." |

"If it will get us in, I swear it," Elandir said, nodding. Medran seemed satisfied, but looked then to Brae. |

"I swear." he said, but didn't meet the councillor's gaze as he spoke the words. |

"There is another way down. I found it by accident; to my knowledge, nobody else knows of its existence," Medran said. "I will show you the way." The councillor turned and walked towards the north. Elandir followed. |

Brae moved after them, shooting glances left and right quickly. |

Medran led them through a side entrance, passing two guards who glanced at them but paid no more attention. He led them down a corridor and then another, and then placed his hands on one of the walls and gave it a shove. It opened to reveal an unlit stairway downwards. "We part ways here," Medran said. "I will close the door behind you. Once closed, you will have to find another way out, or perhaps the archmage could open it from that side." |

Brae gave the man a curtious nod as he passed, moving inside and then turning to wait for Elandir. |

"Thank you," Elandir said. Then he stepped through and as the wall creaked shut, he and Brae were plunged into darkness. There were sounds, from rumblings to distant screeches, further down. Murmuring spell words, Elandir conjured a sphere of dim light to guide the way. "We must hurry," he said, starting his descent down the staircase. "I don't know where we are in relation to the main entrance, so we will have to follow the signs." |

Brae only nodded as he let Elandir take the lead. |

Elandir did so. The stairs winded around several times before coming to an abrupt halt at a blank rock face. He pushed, and it opened out into a chamber he recognised well. "That passage should not have existed," he said with a worried look. He moved quickly toward the other entrance, ignoring the Casket. "I think we may be closer than I thought." There was a sound of chanting as well as more rumblings and screechings nearby. There was also yelling, but the voices were unfamiliar. Jaunne's men, he supposed. |

Brae gave the Casket a passing glance. In truth, he would've liked to examine it more closely. He had never seen it before, but heard much of it, as had others in Mordain's higher ranks. But now was not the time for admiring ancient items. |

The chanting, it seemed, came from Ithrain, who was standing outside the chamber, doing his utmost to mislead and redirect the men of the Order. Of Lathaon, there was no sign. It was easy enough to slip past the traitor council mage, in his state of concentration. "I can sense his magic now. Faint, but there," Elandir murmured. "Check the chambers on the left; I'll check the right." |

Brae nodded and moved down his side of the corridor, making the odd glance back at Ithrain as he moved. Having that traitor so close by was unnerving. He wished he could just stab the man and be done with it. But Ithrain was dangerous, and they didn't need any attention. He opened the first door and found the room to be fairly large, but surprisingly empty. There was the odd tome and trinket, but nothing he cared anything for. His search continued through three more chambers until he stumbled upon the fifth, with Lathaon inside. There were a selection of strange artefacts in the room. And Lathaon... he did not look to be himself. Brae said nothing, but made a hand gesture to Elandir, hoping that the man would approach and that they could enter the chamber together. |

Elandir did. Lathaon, although standing, was completely still. His hands were outstretched towards one of the artefacts, and although invisible to the eyes, Elandir could sense his magic grinding against something, or perhaps something grinding against his magic. "Looks like he's got himself stuck somehow," Elandir said, clicking his fingers to try and attract the archmage's attention. "Doesn't look too healthy. I'm not sure how to dispel whatever is affecting him." |
