Option A

Xoddahs bounced on his feet with his hands up defensively, a rusted grin splitting his face as he took in his situation. Stone to his back and sides blocking any retreat or safety, and an angry beast larger than him blocking the way forward hellbent on killing him.

"Now THIS is what I'm talking about! The tension! The risk!"

The shaman clinched his fist and his legs tensed in preparation.

"And the victory!"

Xoddahs charged the wolf and went all out, TOZing the wolf with his fist.

Can with the magic of performers!

Fezz move to 5,8 and erase the War Bishop J from existence? He seems the most viable target for a purging. I could go after Manna, but since I can't crit 'em and don't double 'em (barely) doesn't seem worth it since it would take three hits to knock him out of the park.

Aurelian looked relieved. "Glad to hear you two are alright; I wish there was more I could do to make you two comfortable though. I just hope that you don't have to stay in there too long. I'm sure it was just an oversight in the decree, both of you were with us far before any of this... Stuff. And saving the world is far more important." The knight waved a gauntlet-clad hand dismissively, admittedly not too well versed on the situation himself. Politics always did mostly go over his head, the knight wasn't afraid to admit that.

"Still." The knight rested a shoulder against the wall next to the cell. "I can at least make sure you two stay safe and with friendly company until then. I hope you won't blame the Zorostrians too harshly. I'm... I'm sure this is a very difficult situation for them." The knight fell silent for a few moments, his own words sounding hollow to himself. Would he think differently if it was instead him and his brother on the other side of the bars?

"I..." Aur hesitated. "I guess this is what you meant when you said you weren't sure if your presence settled, isn't it?"

Didn't matter to Aur if the guard was convinced or not, he could check with the Princess himself if he had a mind to. Aurelian noticed the spellbook... But given the guard and recent events, he figured it wise to not ask for it. Aliberti will have this all settled and Chance will get his book back, of this the knight had little doubt.

The knight stopped by Chance and Maribel's cell once the guards have fully left, looking in to see if they were alright.

"You two okay? I can't get you out, but the prince will see to your release." He spoke quietly and his voice betrayed his face, sounding worried for the two.

Aur was shocked and silent for most of the preceding, the response (or lack of response) to his question silencing him. When Chance and Maribel were taken, he gave the two apologetic looks but otherwise said nothing, unsure of the situation. The knight looked to the princess, hearing his name, and nodded at the task with an instinctive salute and snap to attention.

"Yes, princess, I shall see to it right away." The knight moved to follow the soldiers who took Maribel and Chance, they should be headed there. Aliberti said he would get them out of the dungeon in an hour, so Aur was to ensure that nothing happened until then. Right. The knight was thankful to have a task to occupy his mind.

"AKK! KERR! What is going on? What happened?! Why did Akk burst into flames? Is Kerr going to be alright?" Aur was bewildered and confused.
