Brehnart ponders for a moment, "Not in particular. Could you perhaps meet at the Grand Throne in a week? I'm certain the emperor would like to thank you for your participation in defending the city."

Brehnart smiles again at Lillian, "A shame, he seems like a good sort."

Thug Leader charges Billie, [8 vs 4] rounding on her and bashing her with his iron Club for 7 damage!

Attakull struggles agains the thug, [6 vs 4] breaking free and lauching herself into the air! "Oi! ya let her get away ya worthless shit. Get the net back out and bring her back down!"

The bruiser recovers from his stun, shaking his head.

Billie rounds on the bruiser [3 vs 12] hitting him in the head, but the blow only deflects off. he looks a bit miffed now.

Thug reaches into his pouch and unravels a net.

Captain Brehnart smiles as Lillian returns, "Is your friend alright? Should I go get a priest or a doctor?" His voice holds actual concern.

Abdul's [7] meditation is filled with lucid dreams and depictions of corpses, empty thrones, and hideous laughter. He sees several shields all shattering, and divine light leaving no traces. Tendrils reach up out of the emptiness left, and wraps around solid foundations and causes them to crumble, bringing down the pillars of mortals. At the end of the vision, a single scroll unwinds, the images on it showing the fall of a king at the hands of a usurper.

Billie's search is quickly interrupted by several thugs dragging away an avian woman. There are three thugs total, one of which looks like a bruiser.

Cecil looks absolutely enthralled, "Is that so? What kind of equipment is it? What kind of books do you like? What have you been researching lately?"

As lillian rushes off to Caderyn, she walks past a lady in armor walking up to the man she was just talking too. Lillian even manages to catch the man's name thanks to this woman, "Captian Brahnert, The dragon in question was located, but wishes not to be named. Is this okay?" "More so than okay. This helps incredibly with the report I'll have to give to his excellency.
 Please go check on him and see how young Tabitha is doing. This was her first battle after all, and I would like to know how she handled herself." Captain Bahnert smiles, but doesn't move, seemingly waiting for Lillian to return.

"Ah, my apologies for coming off like that. I mearly thought that maybe you did know something about her, maybe what she looked like before she became a dragon. perhaps?"

"Dragons do not simply turn into liquid, especially down an alley with no access to the sewers. Perhaps there is some merit to what Sybal saw then. Perhaps the dragon has indeed taken a human form. But I digress, I was merely wanting to thank her personally for contributing to the battle with those beasts." Syrel seems... more plotting than he lets on. Sybal remains silent.

"Oh... you do work for that lecher... He even summoned you? He didn't do anything to you did he? Also, how do you maintain your form? Most elementals lose their form after a day or two, especially if they wander outside of their summoner's range!"

"Look, I understand you are trying to protect her, but we still need to question her on why a dragon like herself was in our city. Especially on a day our good emperor was attacked. So please,
 if you can at least tell me where she went, or what she looks like right now, I would very much be in your debt."

The woman accompanying the man turns to Elaine and speaks rather bluntly, "Though you say that, we both know where the dragon really went." "Syble, stay your words.
 We have no proof besides what you saw. Do not sound accusing until we have actual proof." "Sorry, Syrel. I beg your forgiveness for my accusation."

A man rather loosely stops moving behind Agilulf, his hand on his sword, "If you two are not conspirators, please return to the plaza. You have questions to answer. Run, and You answer with blood." the man, though he looks rather unimposing, wears the sigil of the Lord Knights as his cloak clasp.


Near Lillian a man, with charming features and no weapon on him is helping a few knights get back on their feet, when he finishes, he approaches Lillian, a gentle smile on his face, "Pardon me, miss, but can I ask you about the dragon that was here? It's not everyday that we see a wingless one inside of the city, and certainly not alive. Despite the atrocities that have happened, I would be ever so ecstatic to meet such a grand beast." the way he talks, and the way he holds himself, is in of its self, quite charming. It doesn't take Lillian quite that long to realize that this was one of the seven individuals behind the emperor before the attack.

Up on stage, the emperor's wounds have finally started to heal, the magic having a surprisingly delayed reaction, "My liege, you should have at least told me you were wearing you aegis. It was no wonder my healing was not working." Sitting beside the emperor is a small talisman, glowing with arcane energies.
