"Because I know you," Sev said. "I met you before. I adventured with you. We were friends." Derivan shifted, and then gently put him down on the ground. Sev took a step forward, not yet completely understanding the memories he'd just unlocked, but working his way through them. There were so many things that were ...but there was one thing that was important, and that was the night he had spoken to Illyr in his own tent. They were curled up together, side by side, Illyr's head resting on his…-

The skill took effect almost immediately. Misa felt the world slow down around her, like everything was falling into focus; around her was only Vex, Jakos, and herself. And her remaining clones, of course. There were five of them, spread out in a circle around Jakos, two of them keeping close to Vex in case the lizard needed to be protected — he was still vulnerable compared to her. Jakos moved, and so did she. It was a dance. Jakos's eyes lit up with ferocious glee when he realized how much Misa's…

Jakos was not willing to talk. Apparently, he wasn't one for words at all. The moment Misa and Vex appeared behind him, he let out a guttural roar of what Misa was Then he sped towards them, almost too fast for Misa to react. She blocked just in time, her mace morphing into something that flickered between a sword and a shield. It was a not-quite-possible configuration that demonstrated just how hard it was to find a reality in which Jakos's attack could be blocked. If anything, his grin grew wider.…

"What do you want?" Sev's tone was cautious, guarded. He wasn't afraid. Liz was a Platinum ranker, but his team was more than capable of fighting a single Platinum-ranker, at this point. The biggest issue here was information disparity — he didn't know what Liz could do, but Liz might have a good idea of what they could do, if she had access to Wisfield's information. Though they'd gained a "I just wanted to talk," Liz said, her tone friendly. She waltzed in through the portal, the hole in the air…

Sev winced as what felt like a thousand mental cries — maybe more — suddenly slammed into him; if he hadn't experienced nearly exactly this dozens of times by his own volition, his mind might have cracked from the force of it. As it was, his eyes widened and he stumbled back, almost shattering a glass case if not for Misa reaching out to steady him. Her eyes were concerned. "Sev? You alright? The fuck's happening?" Sev tried opening his mouth, but no words came out. But there had been no better…

"Okay, I know we thought Wisfield was up to He wasn't the only one. Larok and Kirsa were both out of breath, too; the three of them had been doing nothing but "Nope, they're still following us," she said grimly. "You sure your magic can't do anything?" "I only know It would buy them a little time, at least. He leaned against the wall, trying to catch his breath, and next to him, Kirsa and Larok did the same. House Wisfield had, as far as Helix could tell, somehow managed to plant some sort of…

The transition from bonus room back to Elyra was one of chaos. Derivan was certain the transition When the boundary of the bonus room had snapped closed around them, flesh had started manifesting on the walls, and that had only been the start. "I knew you'd be back," Irvis said. His voice was echoed through a thousand mouths, repeated and distorted along the walls. The mouths had been the second thing to appear along the walls, embedded into the flesh. After that came the eyes, angry and burning with…

Helix sat in his cell, bored out of his mind. He'd had almost no visitors after Karix. A small human came in every day to feed him his food — and really, it was demeaning, to have to be fed. They didn't seem willing to uncuff him and let him eat on his own, and Helix wasn't willing to let himself starve out of pride, so he was forced to let them feed him like he was a child. At least the kid feeding him didn't seem particularly enthusiastic about it either. Helix wondered if he could get him to free…

"You're the one who awakened me," the armor said. "I am, yes." Derivan stepped forward — he didn't sense any ill intent from the armor he'd awakened, as impulsive as the act had been. The armor stared at him for a moment, considering him, and then gave him a slight nod. "I've chosen the name Gallant," he said. Behind him, Sev made a strangled noise, and Derivan found a moment to give a withering stare at the cleric, who — to his credit — looked apologetic. Misa patted him on the shoulder. "I am…

The door slamming behind them made all four adventurers pull out their weapons cautiously. "Never had a door slam on me in a dungeon and have it "No," Vex said, then hesitated. "I'm... pretty sure that can't happen. Irvis can't exist here." All four of them stared at the center of the room anyway, waiting. The room itself was massive. The walls were a pure, pristine white, lit by no apparent light source to speak of. There didn't seem to be a Which was to say that the room was large enough to…
