In an RPG all the player characters are important, and it's time
for our rogue to shine. I step to the side to allow her to do
her thing, but I grip my sword and shield tightly, just in case.
"Move with grace, my lady." I say to the thief with a smile.

I simply nod to our leader and float in to take a peek.
Once in there's a gargantuan, inky, yet anatomically correct
heart swaying gently over the table as shadow and bitter chill
pump out if it with each ka-thump, ka-thump. On either side, a
black hooded figure kneels, muttering toward the heart,
presumably praying to it.
Just as quietly as I crept in, I tiptoe out, motioning everyone
to move back a bit. Just in case the beings inside aren't as
focused as they seem, then softly report what I've seen.

He leans back supporting one foot with the other, torch crossed
with his arms. He gives everyone a tight smile, at watches as
the rogue as they call her slips ahead like darkness
itself.Clearly, she earned her title well.
This place was all new with him, but he watches Eve's expression
as the report is given. For now, he holds quiet.

"An atomically correct heart, that people are praying at, and
that is where this cold feeling of despair is coming from?" She
looked at Lainer for a long moment as she chewed nervously on
her lower lip, and then looked at Eve. "I have never heard of
anything like this before, or even read about it. What we do
from here is up to you of course."

I frown. “I’ve never heard of anything like it, either,” I say.
Nameright might have, but he’s not piping up right now because
he’s ever so useful. Sarcasm dot jpg.
The idea that there is someone in here doing this to my home,
and probably responsible for my family going missing, has me
shaken.
To my core. But I keep it under wraps that I’m frightened. I
truck on despite that fear.
That fear makes me angry.
“They die,” I say calmly, like nothing is going on. “They defile
sacred ground.”

The rogue doesn't seem to have a weapon, nor does the alchemist.
I kneel down and call on the mountain cold, breathing in and
out, in and out, in...then I exhale a cold breath that I blow
onto the ground. I scrape the frost into ice and in a short time
a pair of crude swords now sit on the floor. I hand one to
Lanie, and one to Jenessa. Even if they do not plan to fight,
they do need something to protect themselves.
Once done I ready myself. "I am ready when everyone else is." I
say then stand facing the door, sword ablaze laying across the
top of my shield, ready to march forward. ((Swords function as
standard longswords Diff: 6 | Damage Strength +3/+4 | 1-Handed
or 2-Handed | Conceal: T | Strength: 2))

And I see Eve's Determined Face™ and am taking it completely at
face value. Not that I really have any reason to do otherwise.
Katherine just keeps breaking out the nifty tricks. When she
hands me the sword, I heft it a bit and turn it in my hand. I
can probably manage to use it to block a blow and probably put
the pointy end in the other guy, but that's about the extent of
my expertise. Hopefully, that's all that will be needed.
"Thanks."

Maybe he's just not as invested as the others, but he doesn't
react to the way Eve says they die. He's not sure whether they
are people or creatures at this point. Monsters can pray. He
draws his gun, shifting the torch to the other hand. Seeing
Jenessa getting handed the sword, though, he cleared his throat.
"Do you want the gun, Jenessa? I am accustomed somewhat with
swords."
They had been together for seven months, and he's never asked if
she can use a sword?

She nodded at Eve words. She had never even been in any sort of
fight before, and here she was standing with a group of people
ready to go into battle and possibly kill other people. Bad
people who had possibly hurt Eve family she told herself
mentally. She watched as Catherine created two blades from
nothing but her breath clearly impressed. When she took the
sword however it was clear she had never even held one.
She shook her head at Phoebus. "I will keep the sword. I am less
likely to shoot someone accidently with the sword. I think I
will hang back a bit though."

It looks like everyone’s ready to go.
“Alright, let’s do this,” I say, raising my shield and charging
into the room with Catherine.
