[QUOTE="talien, post: 5039201, member: 3285"] [b]Crisis in Freeport: Part 14 – The Baths[/b] A favorite spot of the rich and busy, the baths at the Salon du Masque provided guests with a comfortable way to relax and relieve stress. Large bathtubs were laid out throughout the room, kept filled with hot water for any who needed a soak. The room was constantly filled with steam by an automatic system that ran water over hot coals. As a result, it was muggy and clouded. Beldin opened the door and a bell rang above him. “Uh oh…” A volley of arrows perforated Beldin’s shield as he ducked down just in time. The room was completely filled with mist. “I’ll deal with this,” said Sebastian. “[FONT="Impact"]Incendiares globus![/FONT]” "[I]lanc i dalaf.[/I]" Came a male elorii’s voice. A ball of flames engulfed the room. Several screams answered the spell’s explosion. "[I]Mathach vi geven?[/I]" “That song sounds familiar…” began Beldin. But Sebastian was too busy to talk. “[FONT="Impact"]Algor conus![/FONT]” The room was covered in ice. Bodies in pain from their burns were suddenly frozen in mid-writhe, a bizarre museum of horrors encased in ice. They could hear someone singing, but his voice seemed to come from everywhere. Beldin crept cautiously into the room. "[I]Nostach vi 'wilith?[/I]" Beldin swung clumsily. He yelped as a rapier pierced his flesh, easily avoiding his shield. “It’s Arias!” shouted Beldin. “I can’t see him!” Sebastian snarled. “I’ll fix that.” "[I]Máb le i nagor,[/I]" sang Arias. The song allowed Sebastian to pinpoint the area. "[I]Bád gurth vi ngalad firiel,[/I]" sang Arias. Death moved in the fading light. He launched eldritch energy with one fist, and suddenly Arias was visible, a rapier in one hand. A woman’s scream echoed from a door on the far side. “Who is that?” demanded Beldin with mounting dread. Arias had a smirk on his face. He was about to answer when his eyes focused on an iced over window to their left. The elorii stopped singing. “Osalian help us…” He turned and sprinted towards the door. Beldin whirled to look. “What the hell was that all about?” Out the window, visible in the distance, one of the magical cannons that defended Freeport was no longer in profile. They were staring right down its gigantic barrel. Energy pulsed around it, visible even miles away. Sebastian was reaching into his cloak to draw the last charge from his wand of force. “CANNON!” was all he got out. [/QUOTE]
