- she barely has time to meet his eyes before she hits the ground.
There's a discontinuity in time, and then - her chest hurts - she's lying down - can she breathe, one breath, another -
Anevia finds the scrolls and hands them to Woljif. "You run off with these I'll shoot you in the back."
Is there anyone else with healing we could possibly hit up, at all? I'm increasingly despairing about the odds that I live through the day.
"Hey, don't count yourself out. We've got some more potions, we're learning from every fight, and that sword might do its thing again."
"If you can distinguish types of demons with psionics at all maybe we can tell apart the really scary ones and avoid those?"
It's not wise to look that closely at them but I could maybe make some guesses based on how each signature is moving?
No demons in there. Uh, if the demons often have telepathy asking them to let us in probably won't... work?
"Most demons don't have telepathy, it's just that even fewer people do. Are the people in there okay and just barricading against demons, can you tell that?"
Not without reading their minds. Or asking them. I'll try that.
To all of them at once, then: Hello, are you all okay in there?
NO!! THEY ARE NOT OKAY IN HERE, THESE CRAZY BAPHOMET CULTISTS TOOK THEM PRISONER AND ARE TRYING TO BURN THEM WITH ALL THE BOOKS!
(No! They are not okay because they were not expecting to be interrupted but it's fine, they'll just tell the interrupters that the people they took prisoner are Baphomet cultists. Makes perfect sense.)
Well, at least some of the folks in there are Baphomet cultists who may or may not be about to commit arson! Bella tells her party. (Why does she have a party. She is not a fucking delver.)
I don't think so - there's two groups and both of them are telling me the other is the cultists but the elf was in the less suspicious sounding bunch.
Bella trots at her heels, ready to knock people out if they become really unambiguous Baphomet cultists.
