But please, let me continue with the tale.""We awoke from our spell very suddenly to find ourselves surrounded by guards. Although some of our group ran, the majority gave ourselves up to the authorities. We knew we weren't responsible for what happened of course, and were confident we could get a fair trial. How wrong we were..."Kaeso shakes his head, as if he can't believe the story himself. "The guards led us deep into the city dungeons. But the warden was somehow involved with the plot himself; he was expecting the arrival of the six of us before the guards themselves knew, and even referred to the 'mental bonds' holding us. He planned on torturing us, which we decidedly did not go along with. As one of the warden's bugbear guards opened my cell to take me, I made my move!" The soldier describes the ensuing fight, and sadly speaks of the deaths of Tagret and Percival. "They were good friends, and it was a tragedy to lose them. But we knew we had no chance of winning if we stayed. So with a timely transportation spell, us three survivors escaped the warden. Just three of the original six in our group remained: Luna, Morty, and myself. Kareus wan't captured, and two were slain." He sighs, then continues."Since our gear had been confiscated, we traveled to our house in the city to collect some spare equipment. Davian met us at this point, and aided us in escaping from what I'm guessing were bounty hunters. From this point on, we resolved ourselves on proving our innocence. A seer friend of Morty helped us search our memories of the brainwashing, revealing a clue which led us into the Temple District. After disguising ourselves" -Kaeso motions to his robe- "we searched for, and *found* the location where the spell was cast on us. It was the basement of the Temple of Dusk!" he says somewhat accusingly. "Although Ronaldo, the priest who greeted us, seemed unaware of the plot, his colleagues attacked us on sight. They were brewing foul potions in their basement, which sickened several of us. We defended ourselves, avenging our fallen comrades.""Kareus arrived at this point with Lorraine" -he nods in her direction- "and we began to collect our evidence. We recognized their basement immediately as the room we were enchanted in. In one of the rooms, a heavy device had recently been removed. I collected a piece plastic tubing bearing the brand name of 'The Smoke Shop', a store in the North Market. I believe inquiring there might reveal exactly what was removed from the room.""Loraine collected a sample of the toxic potion the priests were brewing.""I also took with me a book regarding chaos cults." Kaeso withdraws a book labeled The Discoveries of Tralgon from his bag. "The priests had some great interest in the book, as it is well worn. There are many handwritten notes in it, as well as underlined passages.""Loraine led us here after we gathered our evidence. And now, we place our trust in The Knights of Chord and you fellows."ooc: Sorry for the long posts. I'm trying to sum up 10 pages of the story so far, hehe.Deuce: Is Ronaldo awake yet?</blockquote>
