Angus narrows his eyes as the peacock mentions someones 'special prize' and he snarls, about to utter an insult or something...That's when the dark magic hit him. With a groan he doubles over, his insides feeling as if they are liquefying, and he wretches blood..and worst. He staggers for a second, and nearly falls to. Mirana's appearance is barely noticed at first, until she starts cramming herbs down his throat and working spells to alleviate what was happening to him. He staggers once more before he stands up and pants. "I'm okay.....help the others!" Shaking his head his eyes go hard as he looks back at the thugs, and draws his Sabre.
Things you don't expect the person you've come to save to do in clude, blast you with dark magic, get naked or start screaming ineherently. Right about now...screaming nudity doesn't seem like such a bad thing. Holding up his massive armored tome before him he says
"Don't do anything rashhurk! " feeling the energy pass into him, the massive tower of priest has to do everything in his power not to crumblle onto the femmes ahead of him despite the mixture of fluids filling his lungs ears and eyes. Heaving his lungs into a cloth he struggles fully upright, a mighty enhale washing over those in the party with him drinking in the impurities and hostile math in order to cleanse all of the harm done to them. "Suffer no afflictions to the faithful, breathe freely ye voices of the creators' will."
Ixitixl sees people keeling over in the streets leaking vital fluids, amongst other things, and cannot lurk in the shadows any longer, thus springing into action! By which I mean... he slinks out, darts nervous glances about, and when none of those ghastly hoodlums tries to mug him, finally comes tromping over to lend his aid. Angus... already being tended to. Kurzon... looking to be in better shape than the rest. Ictus! The noble vulpine suddenly has a lizard fussing over him, stammering and yet speaking so quickly that it mostly blurs together. Something about how he should hold still and he'll be alright and... did he just say parakeet?
The kid squirms and flails as the thug lifts him up. "Look he went towards the entrance to firmament!" the kid cries out as his arm is squeezed violently at the elbow, threatening to be ripped off. With the information out there the non-afflicted tough guys start heading out towards the entrance to frmament, leaving the party to clean up after themselves and the incapacitated left behinds. "C'mon we gotta hurry!" they say, pushing past Angus who nimbly dodges an intended shove to the face.
Mirana looks around and sees that Angus and Kurzon are doing better, and Ictus is getting tended to. She hears the announced information and notices as those intent to do harm speed by her brother, "Stop! I said..." and she does some quick math work, rasing a paw and stamping it heavy on the ground, "STOP!" A ripple eminates, the bulk of its strenght finding its way to the running thugs, though some of the near shacks get some shaking. She then looks over to the boy, "We're not here to hurt you, what is going on, some explination please, before we have to start getting rough ourselves." She hated having to resort to threats, but they all needed to see that running would not be taken well. "We came here to talk about a Shadow in possession of Solacious crests, where are they? And what is going on here?"
Ictus grunts as he hurls on the Iggy that's tending to him and shakes his head as Kurzon relieves the leaking, "Ooohh, my head..." which probably comes out garbled as he tries to look around to make sense of things, he's trying to hang onto the house he clutched to
He is still suffering from the effects of Kilsa's herbal supplements, was just hit by black magic, and now a shove to the face....Angus was pissed! Dodging the shove he snarls, before he lashes out at the nearest target. Surging forward he launches a kick at the back of his nearests assailants knee, and while his opponent is off balance he trys to shove him into his friends...and that's when his sisters shockwave hits him and he stumbles away from them, thrown off balance by the suddenly moving ground.
Kurzon shakes off the effects of the nausea, his hammer and tome falling from his hands as he reaches both mitts up and back over his shoulders to grasp his musket and level it in the direction of the fleeing things, aiming low at thighs and rumps as he utters a prayer for guidance and strrength and begins firing explosive math treated shots. There is a moment of pause as his hammer and tome jerk on the chains that bind them to him and them he is firing again. Inciting a child into delenquence, attacking the just doers of the city and now running away without a proper reckoning? Kurzon is starting to well with righteous wrath.
Ixitixl is only given to hesitate for a moment after being the recipient of Ictus' last meal. It barely phases him, though he now looks a little bothered. "It's o-okay, I've got you... just... just relax and, and um... relax." A bottle is uncorked and a pill shaken out. "Swallow this one." Then a leaf gingerly lifted out of another container. "And th-then let this one... let this dissolve on your ton-tongue." He spares a worried glance after the retreating miscreants but... helping the injured comes first!
The barrage of attacks hit the leaving thugs, knocking them over and wounding them, their progress has all but stopped as they collapse on their faces and try to push back up. The child makes a mad dash for freedom, escaping the harassing adults. He books it down an alleyway and is soon completely gone from sight. The party is left with a group of disoriented and injured thugs and a clue.
As the kid runs off Mirana turns to the thugs, "Ok, answers, and now, what is this you are going after? And it is in the city?" The pregnate vixen doesn't look to be kidding about. "Talk, and tell me what is going on. You said you needed to feed your families right? I know aid is sparce here, and more could be done to help, but what are you after that could feed your families as is? And how long would it last? Maybe it would be better if you came to the city with me, I'll make sure you have more then you can carry in food, though I'm not sure what else I could offer in exchange for the information." She says, though stands ready to do whatever it would take to keep their only leads from getting away, wishing she had stopped the kid instead.
Ictus mumbles something as he swallows the pill and makes a face at the taste of the leaf, almost spitting it out before the medicine starts to work. He blinks a little more clearly as he sees the kid get away and sighs, "Well... Let's hope we can find this shadow."
Angus was already looming over them, with his sword at one of their throats. "First one to tell us what we want to know gets a thousand crowns, no questions asked." He comments in a low voice. his ears twitch when he hears Mirana, and he sighs before he puts his sword away. "I know your trying to help your family, but this isn't the way. We can help you, just help us."
