Player Plot: Unwanted Houseguests

[lyriumcarved]

WHO: Fenris, Aleron, Bethany, Korrin, Inessa, Church, Saoirse, and Ellana
WHAT: Getting rid of some nasty visitors... and a little demony surprise twist on top of that! (OOC Post)
WHEN: Close to the end of Bloomingtide, we'll go with the 29th
WHERE: Fenris' mansion in Hightown
NOTES: This is slightly forward-dated to the end of the month. See directions below about groups and things! As for warnings, uhhh... bad interior decorating?

The manor stands in Hightown, Kirkwall's high class area where the nobles live. Fenris had intended to step in and reclaim it when he'd first arrived in Kirkwall, but there were... complications. Major complications. He's had to do quite a bit of sneaky surveillance to find out what was even going on. As he uncovered more over the course of the month, it only made him angrier. A magister had seen fit to move on in and take over while he'd been away. To make matters worse, he's brought along a bunch of slavers, and they've really started making themselves at home as they use the house as a base of operations.

Now that Fenris has all of the information, he's more sure than ever that this has to be dealt with. Immediately. It's more than he can handle alone, though.

So he asks around and finally gathers a group together to deal with it...

Group 1: Fenris, Aleron, Bethany, and Korrin

This group will be going in first! They'll make their way through the house and generally deal with taking down slavers. There's another subthread for the initial battle against the magister and his followers.

Group 2: Inessa, Church, Saoirse, and Ellana

After a rift erupts and Fenris makes a distress call over the crystals, these folks will be joining in. Now it's a matter of fiiighting all the demons, and making sure that rift gets sealed. (It's all on you, Church!)

Bethany flashes another Barrier over all of them, before she turned to Winter's Grasp on Calanthus. She wholeheartedly agreed with Korrin's assessment - what sort of monster used his own allies to fuel his own power?

Magisters. Andraste's Mercy, save them all from MAGISTERS.

"Weakness is using someone else to fuel your own gifts." She yelled, as her Maker's Fury slammed down on all of them again, "Or haven't you noticed that we are more than capable of handling you just fine on our own?"

Magisters, indeed. Fenris is all too used to their ways, and as troubling as it is to see... he's not all that surprised by the magister taking out his own ally so callously. They care for nothing but their own power. If it means stepping on others in their midst... so be it. It's as sickening as ever to see.

The Maker's Fury and the lightning slam into their enemies. Seeing them all stagger from both mages' attacks is a welcome sight.

"That's..." Fenris pauses, having to swing his sword to fend off against one of the mages, stopping him from casting something else. "That's the difference between you and other mages... I've seen that by now! I've come to understand it. They're not all like you. You and others like you... power is all you care about... power and nothing more!" He swings at the mage he's facing, wounding them badly. Good. He pushes forward, finally getting closer to his main target, bracing himself first for the next attack.

At this point, both the lesser mages are extremely slowed, even as they work on barriers of their own. One blasts fire toward the group. The other mage staggers badly, looking like one more blast will take him out... he sticks with lightning, bolts sizzling around the room. As for Calanthus, he still seems to be a little bit less affected than the others. The magister shouts, casting Horror over his opponents, following that up with his own massive blast of fire.
