The Secret Scion

[sblock=Isida]Reaching out with her mind to the prior contact, Shenystari lets her protective shell drop. Greetings sister, it seems as if our fears are confirmed. My companions are moving to action, Opal, my friend is in danger. I urge you to act to restrain the quori spirit itself, the body is easier to deal with.[/sblock]
Shenystari nods at Rayni, in a quiet voice, "it seems my suspicion is confirmed. Quori are spirits less substantial than even ghosts, but far more menacing." As Bail steps forward, Shenystari reaches out to him to give him pause but then stops herself, it has gone far enough.
"Be careful," she whispers to her companions.
Steeling her mind against assault, Shenystari prepares her own assault against Arden Fair's mind.

(OOC: I'm hoping we aren't in range for Sheny to Mind Thrust (30 feet), since most Psionics have range Short and Rayni has a much better range on her attack. Also, I'd guess a Will negates attack is not a great plan on an Inspired 
Also, I'm hoping Arden Fair doesn't take Bail up on the offer to mind-control him, since he would probably succeed 
)
*Rayni nods to Sheny.*
"Can you tell if Arden is a victim like Opal or one of those Inspired people you mentioned? Also, if you kill a ghost's host, the ghost is free to possess another...I have a bad feeling, is that going to happen now too?"
*She unleashes a blast of power as planned, hopefully looking like invisible-force and from as far as possible--her range is quite long (250 feet). Assuming the ruckus causes people to back away or run, Rayni will move back amongst crowd after firing (assuming she's still well within range of her own blast, of course).*

The Fall of Arden Fell
Two men and three women who were sitting next to Arden leap up with ugly expressions on their faces, and faint glowing lights around their hands. Shenystari and Rayni don't hesitate, and one woman drops to her knees, clutching her head. Another is the victim of a faint flash of light that leaves her breathless and stunned. One man lunges for Mel and she swipes at him out of reflex. He ducks and touches her almost gently on the arm, and it erupts in pain. The second man and the last standing woman start pushing their way through the crowd to Rayni and Shenystari, even as Rayni starts to retreat. The noblewoman that had been sitting next to Shenystari glares at them both, and both shake their heads slightly, as if something had distracted them. "Run!" she hisses.
OOC: Mel takes 4 points of damage.

Something Fishy in the Drunk Duck!
The four intrepid heroes run downstairs to the galley, being tossed against walls, floors, and even ceilings as the violent rocking continues. They skid to a halt at the wide door, finally seeing what they're up against. A huge fish-like creature with a rocky, barnacle-encrusted shell is flopping on the large table in the center of the room. The smell of ale, the wet walls, smashed vegetables, and the broken boards reveal that already several barrels and crates have fallen victim to its mighty tail. The stove at the back is still going, and the feminine shrieks emerging from its vicinity reveal that the daughter is still alive. A battered but valient man in an apron is weilding a butcher's knife with an expression of both fear and determination. "Lie still you shrimp! You're only making this harder on you!" he howls hysterically, his eyes very wide. An errant blow from the rugelt bounces the man off the ceiling and into unconsciousness.
The party hesitates not a second more, but goes straight into the fray. Tondrek heaves a vial of something reddish-green over everyone's heads, and it smashes on the rugelt's shell. It begins to eat a hole through it, and its thrashings redouble, if possible. Balancing valiently, Querzana leaps to the left and slashes a slender slice from its belly with her rapier, while Harolk (less graceful, but keeping his feet nevertheless) slides to the center and delivers a massive two-handed chop with his orange sword. A large slash lets out a veritable river of fishy blood, and the footing becomes even more treacherous. Hxaptos nearly joins the chef in dreamland as he slips and slides, but manages to bring his mace down on the rugelt's stony head, though to only minor effect.
The rugelt clacks its beak together with thunderous force, and a shockwave of sound echoes throughout the galley. Querzana and Tondrek are reeling from the noise, disoriented and stunned, even as the rugelt contiunes its violent thrashing. Its tail sweeps the galley, smashing into the stunned Querzana, who gives a cry of pain as flesh bruises and bones snap from the force of the blow.
OOC: Tondrek and Querzana are stunned for 1 round.
The group of assembled nobles and philosophy students look utterly shocked and astounded when Bail stands up and denounces Arden. Arden opens his mouth, his expression one of shock, when things get taken entirely out of his hands. Mel stands up as the rest of the students try to gather their wits, and clouts Arden on the head with the butt of her dagger. She gets a shot to the temple, and the man drops to the ground, a bruise already purpling on his skin. Opal collapses in a faint, and the place erupts in an uproar.Bail said:

"Save Opal ir'Daga--she is still in danger of being possessed!" Rayni calls out to Bail and Mel when it is clear that she had already been noticed by her enemies anyway, and she talks quietly to Sheny, "Sheny, Sheny's friend, do either of you think we should warn people away from this Illuminated Minds organisation now while they're all gathered? Otherwise they can just gather again and just ignore us. Also, do sleeping quori go back to Dal Quor? Because...if so, that's not so good for us..."
*Rayni is continually careful to keep at least fifty feet between herself and the Inspired. Since they are slowed by the crowd, she will continue to take shots at them whenever she has enough distance that they can't come any closer than fifty feet. That said, she doesn't plan on falling behind Sheny and Mel, either, but she recognises that Mel and Bail may need back-up ranged support to rescue Opal, and of course, if all the Inspired are defeated, that is good.*

"Gods, what an ugly mother
er" says Harolk as the group arrive to the kitchen.
"Querzana!" shouts Harolk, who almost drops the sword to run to her. However, he can see she´s only hurt, probably not seriously. "You´re dead, fishy thing!", howls, as he draws his second sword and draws bloody arcs in the air.
ooc: quickdraw second sword and full attack
