By the time they arrived, a huge battle raged. A group of devils, clearly uncontrolled, battled against the magi of the coven. Dame Brionna burst in the chambers just in time to see one of the devils, which had backed a group of magi into a corner, bite the head of one of the magi clean off. Without hesitating, Dame Brionna flung a piece of orichalcum at that devil, and it disappeared in a huge explosion of bright yellow-gold flames. One of the four magi it had trapped was completely incinerated by the blast, but the other three lived thanks to her quick response. Within a few more minutes, the room finally quieted. The carnage was terrible, and the bleak sense of loss on the faces of Lady Deepingwell and the other magi made it difficult to even look at them. Every one of the devils that ate the contaminated meat had broken free of her control. And of the twenty-five other members of the coven, twelve had died. Some would be raisable, but others, such as the promising young mage whose head the devil had swallowed, or the other wizard incinerated by the blast from the orichalcum, were beyond even that. Dame Brionna explained what had happened, and Lady Deepingwell confirmed that warpstone could break the bindings on devils. She also identified the white powder the steward had been given as concentrated disease, which she quickly destroyed. With a heavy heart, the group left the coven to deal with its own repairs and to mourn its dead. Ultimately, six of the dead were restored to life, but even their return did little to blunt the loss. While returning to Alistair's chambers, the group was rejoined by Kit, who had a slightly disoriented Princess Cecilia in tow. As they returned to the apartment, Dame Brionna explained the morning's events to Kit, and then stopped before entering. "Oh! And there's an entrance to the sewers in the third root cellars that's open, that I haven't had time to deal with!" "That's what my people are for," Kit replied. "You have people?" "Yes. They'll take care of it."</blockquote>
