"That went all bloody wrong," Dyria muttered to herself. She was feeling pretty guilty about talking the others into the attack.

Kaggai comments "Well, from how you describe your opponents, you slew two wizards of the 8th circle (terminology for those who can cast 8th level spells) and you fought General Kalil Mostafa and survived. Few ever have. That knight you fought, that general, is the leader of the Thayan contingent in and around this city. "

Dyria shook her head. "I should never have talked the others into going along with the attack. I thought it would be so easy, just get in there, kill the Thayans, grab the prisoners and get out."

Alethia stays asleep for a while, but Shando and Timrin wake up rather quickly, after some healing from the clerics. Timrin finds Maggie clasping his hand and leaning over the bed. "Welcome back. I'm...so sorry. This is my fault. I am not nearly as brave as you."

Timrin jerks upright instintively reaching for his sword before recognizing where he is and that the threat has passed. He looks sympathetically at Maggie and smiles. He says nothing about her retreat.

He lays back reluctantly to let the clerics finsh their work. "What happened?" he says. "Something got inside my head and stopped me before I even swung my sword. I remember nothing."

Maggie gently pushes him back down onto the bed. "There were two powerful wizards, eight warriors, and three knights, including the general who commands Thay's forces here. It was very bloody, I hear. A wizard got into your head and then blasted you with flame. Barnak is dead. Shandp and Alethia are in bad shape as well. On the other side,only their leader and two of the soldiers survived. I'm so sorry. It is my fault. I could have dealt with those wizards. I will do what I can to redeem myself...And I can especially think of a number of ways to make it up to YOU," she says, solemly, until the end, where she siles a little and winks. She looks up "What of this Tavern Alethia was talking about?"

Child, he casted a symbol of fear and pain. Those are powerful and evil spells and have panicked far greater warriors than you. Do not blame yourself for that which was beyond your control. The demon whispered, still aware, even though Alethia slept. He sounded as exhausted as the rest of them were.

I heard someone, one of the prisoners I assume, reach out to me telepathically, before they sacrificed themselves to aid our escape and to take their enemies with them. The demon's voice was both sad and angry as he related the information. It is where the main resistance holes up.

Dyria, it isn't your fault. If it was anyone's fault, it was both mine and Alethia's. We had the final say, did we not? I should have pushed harder to keep back and wait. But... the demon sighed. Hind-sight is ever perfect and infalliable and none of us happen to be seers.

Timrin's eyes go wide for a second and you'd swear he blushes a bit. "Ahhh.... ummmm... Tavern?" he shakes his head slightly.

"None of you should feel blame for what happened. Who would have thought a general and two archmages would be directly involved in a round-up of some rebels. We certainly seem a mess however."

He looks at Murdock, "I'm sorry to hear about Banak. If it is any consolation it should be somewhat temporary. Devan can bring him back, provided he wants to return to this world."

"Now what is this business about a tavern?"

 

[kirinke]

High priest, it would be best if you told us what you know about this general, this Kalil Mostafa yes? Whatever information you have might well serve us better the next time we meet him. the demon said, his voice still sounding tired, though it is plain that he is beginning to make some sort of plans. Do you know how powerful he is and what sort of powers he can command? That is is he a wizard, blackguard or whatever...

"Little is known of him. He never appears in public without his armor fully covering his face and body, and few have fought him and lived to tell the tale. He is primarily a warrior, and one of the best around, but he has limited but potent magical abilities. Perhaps he is a demon, or at least, demon-blooded."

Not wanting to interupt the conversation between Naverone and the high priest of Mystra, Timrin becons Maggie to lean in closer.

He whispers, "Can you teleport to the ship and fetch Devan? He could do much good here and his wards would prove most helpful should we face the Thayans again so soon. We should also have the ship battle ready in cast the Thayan reserve is on the march."

"This hasn't really worked out too well has it?" he says mirthlessly.
