Equivalent Exchange--Episode 2: Blood is Thicker

[Raylis]

Elysia slumps down, "Do I look like I have a way to get through this wall?" she says with a tone nastier then she probably intended. She looks at Laura's unconcious form and then at the helmet, "How can that thing even talk and move when you have it's head?"

 

[Festy_Dog]

Selim looked at the helmet and shrugged.

"I am no alchemist. Perhaps Laura would know," he replied, Elysia's harsh tone producing no noticable change.

(OOC: Going to wait for Laura to wake up? Either way, she wakes up immediately)

*Laura stirs, her eyes fluttering open. She is still badly hurt by the numerous wounds covering her body and can't move easily, at least not without much more rest.*

 

[Festy_Dog]

"Rest a while longer. I do not think our foe has the intention or ability to uproot himself from a gem of a lair such as this. We just need to be wary of traps he may lay while we recuperate," Selim tells Laura.

Returning awake once again, Lust thinks, Once again, awoken. Will it always be so? Pain, darkness, then all of it wiped away? She looks up at the two battered forms with an inscrutable look. The pawns are still alive. Resilient and foolhardy. But have they failed at their larger task?

Laura stays where she is, seemingly winded. "Has it achieved its purpose?" Belatedly, she adds "And the chimera?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

*After a few seconds to catch her breath, Laura feels good to stand up and continue.*

(OOC: I assume waiting a round)

 

[Raylis]

"It got away, they both got away." Elysia snaps "The only thing it doesn't have is its head, which it obviously doesn't need to talk, let alone perform alchemy.

 

[stonegod]

Laura stands shakily on her feet. "I could tear down this wall. But is that what we really wish?"

Let him have his doll. I will have what I want soon enough.

 

[Festy_Dog]

"I for one am inclined to continue. If it is within your ability to remove the wall then I would be thankful for you to do so. Also, if you feel it is not within your ability to continue on due to the extent of your injuries then you may take your leave with care. I am obligated to apprehend this entity but he would know these ruins better than I, so if you do leave you must be wary of him possibly doubling back and preying on those who are alone," Selim says, checking the wall.

 

[Raylis]

"We obviously can't leave here or face that thing individually. We barely scratched that chimera and who knows what other kind of traps it setup.

Elysia stands, placing a hand on the wall to steady herself, " anyway we're in no condition to continue, all three of us are injured, I still don't know how Laura survived that attack " she says with a glance at the Woman.
