−	<div></div><br> <br>Infront of the Solacious Manor stands a Wolfess, panting hard, daggers in her hands as she looks down a Rhino and a large Bull. They laugh at her, "Little girl, The Solacious are very busy today, come back for an audiance some other time, now, stop fighting and let us take you in." Angel shakes her head and looks to the door again as they both close in on her for another strike! Left dagger up to parry the Rhino's sword, side step left to avoid the spear of the Bull. She seems to be doing fairly well, but there is blood dripping from her face, both arms, and there is a gapping wound in her left leg. As she paces them, she swings her right dagger as if to cut through the Rhino's spine, but draws it back short, not even leaving a mark on him, Angus' command to not hurt people overriding long practiced instincts. "Come now, stop this and we will be gentle." They make for another pass at her, both daggers to move the spear out of the way, roll right after to... TOO SLOW, the sword connects to her left shoulder with a yelp, and she leaps forward slightly, tumbling away before another strike can be made.<br> <br>Amelia pushes her way through the crowd, frantically waving her staff around. "No, no, stop! Everyone!" She tries to plant herself near Angel. "Stop the fighting. She is with Angus Solacious." The canine leans on her staff, out of breath from her run. "What is going on here?"<br> <br>On his typical afternoon walks, Dio strolls through the city, a bit curious as to how the Solacious manor was doing. It's been a few days since he last visited the manor after all. Peering through the gate, he manages to catch some of the fight, along with Amelia, and rushes in without regard for consequence. "Whoa there," he shouts. "Gettin' awfully violent with the poor lass. Just grab 'er so we can talk instead of the stabbin'."<br> <br>Lidiya had been returning home after a day of breaking things. Can't get rusty in damaging property value and beating up cultsits. Spotting the fight on her way by, ignoring the fact that it's outside of some snooty noble's house, she looks for something to bang on so she can find a way to place bets. She rubs her chin after knocking on the wall didn't work well enough and using earth math would probably break things that she'd actually have to pay for. At the woman's words, she scowls. That's the one that shoots random sorts right? Well, maybe colateral damage won't be so bad. She raises her foot and prepares to stomp down in her usual way of doing the knocking everything over thing, but stops just shy at Dio's words. And the realization she might still have to pay for things after all.<br> <br>Having been leaving the manor at the time, Ictus blinks at the fight and shakes his head, before he looks to the guards and calls out, "Stand down, she won't hurt anyone." then he looks to Angel curiously,  "Angel... What is going on here?"<br> <br>Sveta had been on her way back from the beach when there was Angel, being accosted by two of the Solacious guards right outside the door...fearing the worst and seeing everyone else, she steps up despite knowing Angel's animosity towards her.<br> <br>Angel is up after her tumble, but limps lightly, her left leg. "Ignore the pain.. there is only your mission and your mark." she says to herself and they make for another pass at her, "Sorry Lord Ictus, but no one is to bother those in the manor today, and she refuses to leave. She said she was with Lord Angus as well, but we have our orders." they say. Slight hop right, avoid the spear, duck down to, NO, Amelia standing near her, that would let the sword hit her! Both daggers, block instead, but that leaves her guard open to take a left cross to her muzzle. Her world starts spinning and she is sent to the ground, "Have to warn.... My Lord..." she says, struggling to get up a moment before darkness takes her. "We'll take care of her now Lord Ictus. If she hadn't of struggled, we could have ended this without blood sheed." they say, approching the down'd wolfess.<br> <br>Ictus sighs and grumbles something about stubborn guards before he shakes his head, "Did she say why she was here? Other than to see Angus I assume?" he looks to Angel as he moves over once she is down, "I'll take responsibility for her." as he tries to lift her up himself before looking to Amelia, "Are you ok?"<br> <br>Dio notices a blow heading straight for Amelia and attempts to push her down to the ground! However, he stops in his tracks as Angel gets in the way a takes the blow for her. "Watch where yer swingin' those things," he shouts, slowly approaching the guards and looking upon the hurt wolfess. "Did you hear that lads? Sounds like she 'ad a message to deliver. Someone get some of those potions and fix 'er up. She was hellbent on deliverin' it, so it must be important."<br> <br>Amelia glares and stands over Angel. "I said enough! From all three of you! This is absurd." She does allow Ictus to get near her, however. "I'm fine. Thanks to Angel, at least." The scowl is turned back towards the guards again. "Fortunately for everyone involved."<br> <br>"What on Promise..." Sveta murmurs as Angel goes down. Familiar faces make themselves known to her - Amelia, Ictus, Dio..."Damn you, Angus, if you're responsible for this..." she steps forward to Angel, and looks to Ictus. "Lord Ictus Solacious, maybe I can help. I've some skill in medicine..." Realising something, Sveta hurriedly pats down her pockets and curses. "Does anyone have any field medicines on them? Tinctures? Ointments? Bandages? So much as a dulling potion? That one on her leg's dangerously close to her femoral artery. Come on!"<br> <br>Still out cold, the wolfess is up on Ictus' shoulder and groans, still not aware, "That... hurts..." she says, "Daddy... don't... it hurts.." The guards move to block Ictus' path though, "I'm sorry Lord Ictus, but we can't let non-house guests into the manor, we have our orders." They say and look determined to follow them. "We have no collateral damage, but she will need a healer, the Saints Square should have many." They say, almost coldly. "We are sorry that we had to get so rough, please, forgive us, but you can't bring her in here."<br> <br>"Orders from who exactly," Dio questions, cocking his head to the side slightly. "I don't know too much about yer family, but what orders are THIS important? Or is that a regular thing here..." After thinking for a bit, he looks towards Ictus and begins walking over to him. "You can go inside if ya want. We'll take care of Angel best we can."<br> <br>Amelia adjusts her glasses and shakes her head. "If we can get her patched up and awake, maybe she can tell Ictus, and Ictus can carry the message?" She looks towards Sveta. "I do have some medicine, yes... It's not the best, but maybe you can do something with it?" She digs around in her robe-coat pockets.<br> <br>Lidiya steps up to the gates, then looks between the various sorts gathered. Nobility doesn't really matter to her and it's not like they know her face. She looks at the two guards, the injured person, the walls, the desire to break something and grins, reaching behind her to heft her hammer to her hands, resting it on her shoulder. Unfortunately she can't give warning. Fortunately a woman with a hammer at the gates is there. There /is/ a Solacious here. She waves at him, waves her hammer around, then gestures at the guards and tilts her head. <br> <br>Ictus hmms? at the guards and nods at that and sighs, "Very well... Who gave you your orders though?" he ponders that a bit and nods to Sveta as Amelia hands over the medicine, "Thanks, I'd like to get her up as quickly as possible. I'm curious as to why she was so worked up."<br> <br>Ictus hmms? at the guards and nods at that and sighs, "Very well... Who gave you your orders though?" he ponders that a bit and nods to Sveta as Amelia hands over the medicine, "Thanks, I'd like to get her up as quickly as possible. I'm curious as to why she was so worked up." he looks to Lidya and shakes his head with a frown, "Don't do anything stupid Lidiya." he frowns as he gently lays Angel down on the ground for Sveta to tend<br> <br>Angel mumbles again, but goes completely out as her blood pressure drops, dyeing Ictus' clothes a new coat of red. The guards look over to Lidiya and ready their own weapons, "Stop, none may pass." they say to her, then one looks to Dio. He looks over to his fellow guard, who nods to him, "Orders by .... The head of the house himself, none may enter, they are... going through offical records, and don't want any eyes on them. On the ground now, Angel's breathing is slow and labored....<br> <br>Lidiya glares at Ictus and shakes her hammer at him now. She's not doing anything stupid, just wreckless and she draws a clear distinction. At the guard's reaction to her, she laughs, a very faint wheezing sound at best, then draws a line on the ground with her foot and gestures at the guard. He said she couldn't just thump them, nothing about taunting them. The comment at the end, she shakes her hammer one last time for permission, unless the guard does something stupid, which she's mostly hoping for. <br> <br>Sveta takes the field medicines from Amelia. "Lord Ictus, please set her down somewhere safe so I can tend to her. Yes, like that." She switches soul gems, waiting for the full minute to pass before beginning to work on Angel's wounds. She staunches the bleeding and applies various strong-smelling tinctures to the worst of Angel's injuries before taking needle and thread to them, concentrating furiously as she sutures the wounds. "There. That's all I can do, on short notice. She's still out cold, but she'll live."<br> <br>Amelia folds her arms. "Can't you see this is important? Yet here you stand; roughing up an associate of one of your employers, denying another one of your employers, to his face, no less. The other priests shall hear of such belligerence, certainly. I'll be sure to include this in my reports. You are most certainly not being upstanding citizens and good samaritans!"<br> <br>Ictus sighs as his clothes are dyed red with blood and winces at Angel, before stares at the guards as they lie to him and frowns, "What..." he shakes his head and glares at them as he looks them over, "There were no orders like that given..." his frown deepens as he scans them and shakes his head, "Who are you two?" he looks to Lidiya and nods in a 'go ahead' type gesture before he looks to Sveta and frowns<br> <br>Sveta checks Angel one last time to make sure she's stabilised, and then sighs as she swaps her soul gems back. "Problems, Lord Ictus?"<br> <br>Angel continues her labored breathing, head rolling this way and that. "Sister.... warn....." she mutters, still refusing to fail in her mission. As she talks though her muzzle gives some very grotesque sounds, more then one part fractured. The guards look to Lidiya and one of them takes a step forward, only to be stopped by the other! They look to Ictus and now they really start to sweet, "Lord Ictus.. we... the orders were given just this morning.. and.. you may not have..." they both break stance and try to run for it!<br> <br>Amelia looks down at Angel. "I will." She straightens up and starts towards the manor, herself. "Someone stop those two from getting away!" She knows she wouldn't stand a chance at doing it herself, but that's not the first thing on her mind right now.<br> <br>Lidiya watches the one coming forward and starts to wind up her hammer, then they stop and run the other way. She makes a rude gesture and grips her hammer in both hands and slams it into the ground. With a boom, the ground splinters, then the ground beneath the two fleeing 'guards' would begin to violently shake and splinter. If someone didn't know before, well, her specialty's known now. Before it's even finished, she then bounds after them, hammer across her shoulders as a counter balance to a.. rather weird run. <br> <br>"Do you lads recall perhaps anythin' interestin' happenin' on this date? Besides that Yerita Heavyhoof bein' born and gettin' the irrigation setup" Dio looks down at the unconscious Angel and crouches down next to her as he watches Sveta clean up the wounds. "This lass is a curious one," he says, gently tapping Angel's face with a finger. "She saw somethin' and just immediately took off with air magic. We gotta wake 'er up somehow... If any of ya could get some cold water or somethin'. Maybe even give 'er a good bonk, just avoid that nasty blow she took there... Huh?" He looks towards the running guards. "What are ya runnin' for?" The shaking certainly catches his attention as he places his hands on the floor to hold his balance.<br> <br>Chaos, outside the Solacious house? What in the name of the Creators was going on? Angus slams the front doors of the manor open as he quickly belts on his Rapier. "What in the name of the Creators is happening!" He snaps, only knowing bits and pieces that he had picked up from a few panicing servants as he storms out the front doors.<br> <br>Sveta scowls at Dio's words, clearly frustrated by the limitations of her efforts. "If I could without risking her condition, my dear Lion of critical comments, I would have. Perhaps if we had some smelling salts...but they weren't in the kit Amelia had on her." She mumbles something about cheap goods never being reliable and tests Angel's bulk in a fireman's lift.<br> <br>Ictus glares at the two as they run and chases after them as Lidiya chases as well, "Stop!" he growls as he pulls out his dagger and pins it to the fake guards throat after he tackles them, "Tell me what you what is going on, or I swear I'll kill you now."<br> <br>Amelia reaches for the door, only to have it thrown open into her face, knocking her flat on her arse. "Dammit, another distraction?" She scrambles for her glasses, placing them back on her face. "Angus! We need you. Something... Bad is happening. Angel took off earlier, something about a warning. She tried to get to you, but a couple of guards stopped her, saying they weren't to be allowed in! Or any guests!" Her mouth is running wild, but she keeps her voice calm and clear. "I think they were imposters, but they're being dealt with. Something bad is happening. Angel is out cold, last I checked."<br> <br>Angel moans again, "It hurts.... My... lord... sister..." and groans as she is picked up. The pair are shaken up a lot by the earth magics. Unable to keep their footing, they make easy targets for anyone able to catch up to them! And Ictus does, tackling them over. As they are pinned they look up to Ictus, but say nothing. Angel's weight is easily cared. "Warn..... My Lord..." she says again, poke poke poke by Dio.<br> <br>Lidiya doesn't bother with a knife, she doesn't carry anything smaller than a bastard sword anyway. The second guard would find her foot on his chest and she seems to be lining her hammer up with his head like she were readying a golf swing. She winds back and grins cruelly behind her mask. It's not like she can question them anyway. <br> <br>"Sorry about that, Bird of Trauma Ward," Dio says, rubbing at his mane. "Yer the doctor here after all, but if worst comes to worst..." The lion begins to think about why Angel would suddenly act the way she did, much a change of character just chagrining in and leaving in a huff. "Hmm," he whispers, tapping his chin before getting up and looking at the door. "Wait!" He shouts. "Angel was looking at the ocean when she left and said somethin'! What if there was somethin' comin' for us from the ocean and Angel wanted to warn us 'bout it?"	+	<div></div><br> <br>Infront of the Solacious Manor stands a Wolfess, panting hard, daggers in her hands as she looks down a Rhino and a large Bull.

He turns, searching around before he notices Dio and Sveta, and walks over to them.<br> <br>Sveta's eyes flash at the simple sight of Angus. "You! Look at...look at...this! Can you not even keep a pet safe, Angus Solacious? Is there no end to your..." She clicks her beak and draws herself straight up. "I will tolerate your presence. For now. Because it is unavoidable. And for your pet's sake. After what she's told me...I pity her. And I'm not sure if I pity you more."<br> <br>Ictus growls low as they stay quiet and shakes his head, "Idiots." as he knocks one out, then looks to Lidiya, "Can you keep an eye on him?" as he drives his dagger into the others neck, before getting up ooc ...<br> <br>Angel groans out her ears twisting a bit, slighty waking up, "My... Lord.... Sister..... Ass... E.. Eldr..." her jaw won't seat right and each word causes a spark of pain to shoot through her, barely able to say one sylible, let alone a full sentance. The Rhino is knocked cold, but the Bull still won't say anything. From inside the manor some crashing can be heard!

Then the hammer slowly rises back up as she looks to adjust her aim.<br> <br>Angus blinks. "I...wait, what? How is this...." Sighing he just shakes his head and walks over to them. "I don't know Amelia, i still have no idea what is going on." He glances at Sveta just slightly before he turns his attention to Angel. He then stiffens as he ehars Angels words.

Log

Infront of the Solacious Manor stands a Wolfess, panting hard, daggers in her hands as she looks down a Rhino and a large Bull. They laugh at her, "Little girl, The Solacious are very busy today, come back for an audiance some other time, now, stop fighting and let us take you in." Angel shakes her head and looks to the door again as they both close in on her for another strike! Left dagger up to parry the Rhino's sword, side step left to avoid the spear of the Bull. She seems to be doing fairly well, but there is blood dripping from her face, both arms, and there is a gapping wound in her left leg. As she paces them, she swings her right dagger as if to cut through the Rhino's spine, but draws it back short, not even leaving a mark on him, Angus' command to not hurt people overriding long practiced instincts. "Come now, stop this and we will be gentle." They make for another pass at her, both daggers to move the spear out of the way, roll right after to... TOO SLOW, the sword connects to her left shoulder with a yelp, and she leaps forward slightly, tumbling away before another strike can be made.

Amelia pushes her way through the crowd, frantically waving her staff around. "No, no, stop! Everyone!" She tries to plant herself near Angel. "Stop the fighting. She is with Angus Solacious." The canine leans on her staff, out of breath from her run. "What is going on here?"

On his typical afternoon walks, Dio strolls through the city, a bit curious as to how the Solacious manor was doing. It's been a few days since he last visited the manor after all. Peering through the gate, he manages to catch some of the fight, along with Amelia, and rushes in without regard for consequence. "Whoa there," he shouts. "Gettin' awfully violent with the poor lass. Just grab 'er so we can talk instead of the stabbin'."

Lidiya had been returning home after a day of breaking things. Can't get rusty in damaging property value and beating up cultsits. Spotting the fight on her way by, ignoring the fact that it's outside of some snooty noble's house, she looks for something to bang on so she can find a way to place bets. She rubs her chin after knocking on the wall didn't work well enough and using earth math would probably break things that she'd actually have to pay for. At the woman's words, she scowls. That's the one that shoots random sorts right? Well, maybe colateral damage won't be so bad. She raises her foot and prepares to stomp down in her usual way of doing the knocking everything over thing, but stops just shy at Dio's words. And the realization she might still have to pay for things after all.

Having been leaving the manor at the time, Ictus blinks at the fight and shakes his head, before he looks to the guards and calls out, "Stand down, she won't hurt anyone." then he looks to Angel curiously, "Angel... What is going on here?"

Sveta had been on her way back from the beach when there was Angel, being accosted by two of the Solacious guards right outside the door...fearing the worst and seeing everyone else, she steps up despite knowing Angel's animosity towards her.

Angel is up after her tumble, but limps lightly, her left leg. "Ignore the pain.. there is only your mission and your mark." she says to herself and they make for another pass at her, "Sorry Lord Ictus, but no one is to bother those in the manor today, and she refuses to leave. She said she was with Lord Angus as well, but we have our orders." they say. Slight hop right, avoid the spear, duck down to, NO, Amelia standing near her, that would let the sword hit her! Both daggers, block instead, but that leaves her guard open to take a left cross to her muzzle. Her world starts spinning and she is sent to the ground, "Have to warn.... My Lord..." she says, struggling to get up a moment before darkness takes her. "We'll take care of her now Lord Ictus. If she hadn't of struggled, we could have ended this without blood sheed." they say, approching the down'd wolfess.

Ictus sighs and grumbles something about stubborn guards before he shakes his head, "Did she say why she was here? Other than to see Angus I assume?" he looks to Angel as he moves over once she is down, "I'll take responsibility for her." as he tries to lift her up himself before looking to Amelia, "Are you ok?"

Dio notices a blow heading straight for Amelia and attempts to push her down to the ground! However, he stops in his tracks as Angel gets in the way a takes the blow for her. "Watch where yer swingin' those things," he shouts, slowly approaching the guards and looking upon the hurt wolfess. "Did you hear that lads? Sounds like she 'ad a message to deliver. Someone get some of those potions and fix 'er up. She was hellbent on deliverin' it, so it must be important."

Amelia glares and stands over Angel. "I said enough! From all three of you! This is absurd." She does allow Ictus to get near her, however. "I'm fine. Thanks to Angel, at least." The scowl is turned back towards the guards again. "Fortunately for everyone involved."

"What on Promise..." Sveta murmurs as Angel goes down. Familiar faces make themselves known to her - Amelia, Ictus, Dio..."Damn you, Angus, if you're responsible for this..." she steps forward to Angel, and looks to Ictus. "Lord Ictus Solacious, maybe I can help. I've some skill in medicine..." Realising something, Sveta hurriedly pats down her pockets and curses. "Does anyone have any field medicines on them? Tinctures? Ointments? Bandages? So much as a dulling potion? That one on her leg's dangerously close to her femoral artery. Come on!"

Still out cold, the wolfess is up on Ictus' shoulder and groans, still not aware, "That... hurts..." she says, "Daddy... don't... it hurts.." The guards move to block Ictus' path though, "I'm sorry Lord Ictus, but we can't let non-house guests into the manor, we have our orders." They say and look determined to follow them. "We have no collateral damage, but she will need a healer, the Saints Square should have many." They say, almost coldly. "We are sorry that we had to get so rough, please, forgive us, but you can't bring her in here."

"Orders from who exactly," Dio questions, cocking his head to the side slightly. "I don't know too much about yer family, but what orders are THIS important? Or is that a regular thing here..." After thinking for a bit, he looks towards Ictus and begins walking over to him. "You can go inside if ya want. We'll take care of Angel best we can."

Amelia adjusts her glasses and shakes her head. "If we can get her patched up and awake, maybe she can tell Ictus, and Ictus can carry the message?" She looks towards Sveta. "I do have some medicine, yes... It's not the best, but maybe you can do something with it?" She digs around in her robe-coat pockets.

Lidiya steps up to the gates, then looks between the various sorts gathered. Nobility doesn't really matter to her and it's not like they know her face. She looks at the two guards, the injured person, the walls, the desire to break something and grins, reaching behind her to heft her hammer to her hands, resting it on her shoulder. Unfortunately she can't give warning. Fortunately a woman with a hammer at the gates is there. There /is/ a Solacious here. She waves at him, waves her hammer around, then gestures at the guards and tilts her head.

Ictus hmms? at the guards and nods at that and sighs, "Very well... Who gave you your orders though?" he ponders that a bit and nods to Sveta as Amelia hands over the medicine, "Thanks, I'd like to get her up as quickly as possible. I'm curious as to why she was so worked up."

Ictus hmms? at the guards and nods at that and sighs, "Very well... Who gave you your orders though?" he ponders that a bit and nods to Sveta as Amelia hands over the medicine, "Thanks, I'd like to get her up as quickly as possible. I'm curious as to why she was so worked up." he looks to Lidya and shakes his head with a frown, "Don't do anything stupid Lidiya." he frowns as he gently lays Angel down on the ground for Sveta to tend

Angel mumbles again, but goes completely out as her blood pressure drops, dyeing Ictus' clothes a new coat of red. The guards look over to Lidiya and ready their own weapons, "Stop, none may pass." they say to her, then one looks to Dio. He looks over to his fellow guard, who nods to him, "Orders by .... The head of the house himself, none may enter, they are... going through offical records, and don't want any eyes on them. On the ground now, Angel's breathing is slow and labored....

Lidiya glares at Ictus and shakes her hammer at him now. She's not doing anything stupid, just wreckless and she draws a clear distinction. At the guard's reaction to her, she laughs, a very faint wheezing sound at best, then draws a line on the ground with her foot and gestures at the guard. He said she couldn't just thump them, nothing about taunting them. The comment at the end, she shakes her hammer one last time for permission, unless the guard does something stupid, which she's mostly hoping for.

Sveta takes the field medicines from Amelia. "Lord Ictus, please set her down somewhere safe so I can tend to her. Yes, like that." She switches soul gems, waiting for the full minute to pass before beginning to work on Angel's wounds. She staunches the bleeding and applies various strong-smelling tinctures to the worst of Angel's injuries before taking needle and thread to them, concentrating furiously as she sutures the wounds. "There. That's all I can do, on short notice. She's still out cold, but she'll live."

Amelia folds her arms. "Can't you see this is important? Yet here you stand; roughing up an associate of one of your employers, denying another one of your employers, to his face, no less. The other priests shall hear of such belligerence, certainly. I'll be sure to include this in my reports. You are most certainly not being upstanding citizens and good samaritans!"

Ictus sighs as his clothes are dyed red with blood and winces at Angel, before stares at the guards as they lie to him and frowns, "What..." he shakes his head and glares at them as he looks them over, "There were no orders like that given..." his frown deepens as he scans them and shakes his head, "Who are you two?" he looks to Lidiya and nods in a 'go ahead' type gesture before he looks to Sveta and frowns

Sveta checks Angel one last time to make sure she's stabilised, and then sighs as she swaps her soul gems back. "Problems, Lord Ictus?"

Angel continues her labored breathing, head rolling this way and that. "Sister.... warn....." she mutters, still refusing to fail in her mission. As she talks though her muzzle gives some very grotesque sounds, more then one part fractured. The guards look to Lidiya and one of them takes a step forward, only to be stopped by the other! They look to Ictus and now they really start to sweet, "Lord Ictus.. we... the orders were given just this morning.. and.. you may not have..." they both break stance and try to run for it!

Amelia looks down at Angel. "I will." She straightens up and starts towards the manor, herself. "Someone stop those two from getting away!" She knows she wouldn't stand a chance at doing it herself, but that's not the first thing on her mind right now.

Lidiya watches the one coming forward and starts to wind up her hammer, then they stop and run the other way. She makes a rude gesture and grips her hammer in both hands and slams it into the ground. With a boom, the ground splinters, then the ground beneath the two fleeing 'guards' would begin to violently shake and splinter. If someone didn't know before, well, her specialty's known now. Before it's even finished, she then bounds after them, hammer across her shoulders as a counter balance to a.. rather weird run.

"Do you lads recall perhaps anythin' interestin' happenin' on this date? Besides that Yerita Heavyhoof bein' born and gettin' the irrigation setup" Dio looks down at the unconscious Angel and crouches down next to her as he watches Sveta clean up the wounds. "This lass is a curious one," he says, gently tapping Angel's face with a finger. "She saw somethin' and just immediately took off with air magic. We gotta wake 'er up somehow... If any of ya could get some cold water or somethin'. Maybe even give 'er a good bonk, just avoid that nasty blow she took there... Huh?" He looks towards the running guards. "What are ya runnin' for?" The shaking certainly catches his attention as he places his hands on the floor to hold his balance.

Chaos, outside the Solacious house? What in the name of the Creators was going on? Angus slams the front doors of the manor open as he quickly belts on his Rapier. "What in the name of the Creators is happening!" He snaps, only knowing bits and pieces that he had picked up from a few panicing servants as he storms out the front doors.

Sveta scowls at Dio's words, clearly frustrated by the limitations of her efforts. "If I could without risking her condition, my dear Lion of critical comments, I would have. Perhaps if we had some smelling salts...but they weren't in the kit Amelia had on her." She mumbles something about cheap goods never being reliable and tests Angel's bulk in a fireman's lift.

Ictus glares at the two as they run and chases after them as Lidiya chases as well, "Stop!" he growls as he pulls out his dagger and pins it to the fake guards throat after he tackles them, "Tell me what you what is going on, or I swear I'll kill you now."

Amelia reaches for the door, only to have it thrown open into her face, knocking her flat on her arse. "Dammit, another distraction?" She scrambles for her glasses, placing them back on her face. "Angus! We need you. Something... Bad is happening. Angel took off earlier, something about a warning. She tried to get to you, but a couple of guards stopped her, saying they weren't to be allowed in! Or any guests!" Her mouth is running wild, but she keeps her voice calm and clear. "I think they were imposters, but they're being dealt with. Something bad is happening. Angel is out cold, last I checked."

Angel moans again, "It hurts.... My... lord... sister..." and groans as she is picked up. The pair are shaken up a lot by the earth magics. Unable to keep their footing, they make easy targets for anyone able to catch up to them! And Ictus does, tackling them over. As they are pinned they look up to Ictus, but say nothing. Angel's weight is easily cared. "Warn..... My Lord..." she says again, poke poke poke by Dio.

Lidiya doesn't bother with a knife, she doesn't carry anything smaller than a bastard sword anyway. The second guard would find her foot on his chest and she seems to be lining her hammer up with his head like she were readying a golf swing. She winds back and grins cruelly behind her mask. It's not like she can question them anyway.

"Sorry about that, Bird of Trauma Ward," Dio says, rubbing at his mane. "Yer the doctor here after all, but if worst comes to worst..." The lion begins to think about why Angel would suddenly act the way she did, much a change of character just chagrining in and leaving in a huff. "Hmm," he whispers, tapping his chin before getting up and looking at the door. "Wait!" He shouts. "Angel was looking at the ocean when she left and said somethin'! What if there was somethin' comin' for us from the ocean and Angel wanted to warn us 'bout it?"

Angus stops in his tracks as soon as he realizes that he hit someone. "Oh, Amelia are you okay?" He turns to offer her a hand up, and blinks as he hears something happened to Angel and that she was warning him. "Wait what? Where is she now?" He turns, searching around before he notices Dio and Sveta, and walks over to them.

Sveta's eyes flash at the simple sight of Angus. "You! Look at...look at...this! Can you not even keep a pet safe, Angus Solacious? Is there no end to your..." She clicks her beak and draws herself straight up. "I will tolerate your presence. For now. Because it is unavoidable. And for your pet's sake. After what she's told me...I pity her. And I'm not sure if I pity you more."

Ictus growls low as they stay quiet and shakes his head, "Idiots." as he knocks one out, then looks to Lidiya, "Can you keep an eye on him?" as he drives his dagger into the others neck, before getting up ooc ...

Angel groans out her ears twisting a bit, slighty waking up, "My... Lord.... Sister..... Ass... E.. Eldr..." her jaw won't seat right and each word causes a spark of pain to shoot through her, barely able to say one sylible, let alone a full sentance. The Rhino is knocked cold, but the Bull still won't say anything. From inside the manor some crashing can be heard! The wound on Angel's shoulder drips a small bit from being hefted up by Sveta, but it is nothing serious.

Amelia pushes herself up with her staff and trails after Angus. "Do you have any idea what would be worth warning about? Cultists? Shadows?"

"Sister?" Dio looks over as Angus begins approaching them. "Glad yer here Fox-kit. Things 're goin' a bit crazy around 'ere. Or perhaps that's normal for the Slof-adciouis family..." He looks over to the down guards, happy they were able to handle them without too much effort. "We were at the beach with this wolfess 'ere and it seems like she saw somethin' on the ocean and took off in a hurry! Where's your sister," he questions, looking back at Angel and her continued sleeptalking.

Lidiya looks down at the bull and looks to Ictus, trying to remember if this one knows sign language like the rest. She swings the hammer, swinging wide, making sure the bull sees it going past, then she spins and slams it down between his legs while laughing that strange laugh again. Then the hammer slowly rises back up as she looks to adjust her aim.

Angus blinks. "I...wait, what? How is this...." Sighing he just shakes his head and walks over to them. "I don't know Amelia, i still have no idea what is going on." He glances at Sveta just slightly before he turns his attention to Angel. He then stiffens as he ehars Angels words. "Wait what...My sister.....Son of a. I think I might have an idea who is behind this..."

Something clicks inside Ictus' head as he hears Angels words and he pales a bit, "Mira..." He looks at inside the manor at the crash and dashes inside, "Take Angel inside!" is called back as an after thought while he dashes towards the sound

Sveta's furious expression turns a cold blank as she begins advancing to the manor's door. "Very well, Lord Ictus Solacious. I'll see what can be done for Angel here inside the manor - I'm sure some kind servant can give me directions, backed up with your name, of course. I'll rejoin you all later."

Amelia glances after Ictus and grips her staff tightly. If Mirana is in danger, she didn't really need to hear any more. She turns and sprints into the manor, as well, chasing after ictus.

"Very well then lass," Dio waves as he watches Sveta depart. "Good luck to ya. As fer you, Not a Lord... Perhaps a warning should be given' to the crown to watch the ocean if ya have any pull." The sound also catches the lion's interest as he turns around and runs in to join some of the others!

The Bull trembles a bit but still stay silent, something must be scaring him more then mutiliation and death. Angel slowly rouses, "Put... down..." she reaches up and grabs her jaw, forcing it back into place with a loud yelp, "Put.. me.. down... please..." she says laboredly. She moves her shoulder a bit, testing it, it doesn't seem too badly hurt, but her leg... Once inside Ictus and Amelia can see a figure running off toward a window and out it! A blur of speed, though he drops a note...

Angus just stands there, watching the chaos go by him before he turns to follow everyone else. He had an idea of who it could be, but it was only a vague one. "I'll see what I can do Dio, I'll probably have a messanger sent."

"No. I don't think I'm going to put you down. If something terrible is going to happen, then there's no way you're in any position to see it done. You may be suicidal in loving 'your lord' and his kin, but I won't have that happen. The Lord Ictus Solacious will settle matters, and just in case, I'll go to help once you're somewhere safe. Now be quiet and come along." Without further ado, Sveta strides up into the manor and demands of the nearest cowering servant the location of the house physician.

Dio sees a figure burst past the window and attempts to go after it! However, whatever it was, was much too far gone for anything to be done about it. "Damn," he murmurs under his breath before joining up with the others. "I think ya should send word /now/ fox-kit," he says, patting Angus on the shoulder. "If it's an invasion, the crown's gotta know immediately. Also, where is Mirana? It'd be best too find 'er quick as well."

Lidiya mutters and kicks the bull between the legs then tries to kick him in the head to knock him out. She's really not too good at the subtle thing. She stand up straight after and looks around, trying to figure out what exactly's going on now. Maybe she should pay a bit more attention.

Ictus growls more as he spots the figure sprinting away and shakes his head as he looks to Dio, "No, not an invasion yet..." he picks up the note to read quickly

Amelia pauses midway in the room, looking at the figure as it leaves, before turning her eyes to Ictus. "What's it say?" She glances over her shoulder. "I need to know how serious this is. If this is some kind of large scale conflict on the horizon, I need to include it in my reports to Shralesta. Where is Mirana?"

Dio watches as Ictus picks-up the mysterious note left by the figure, quite curious as to what it might say. "Hope that isn't some sort of ransom note," he mutters, looking around the room and straightning out his coat with a few tucks. "And what do you mean by 'yet', I must ask. It seems you fox-kits have an idea of what may be happenin'."

Angel struggles softly for a bit "Please... My Lord.. Tell her to ... put me down.. You.. don't understand.." she says as a servant points Sveta toward the triage room. Another reports to Dio, "you have need of a messanger?" says the cheetah. The guard groans loudly as he is kicked and battered! He grumbles loudly as he is knocked out. "Mirana..." says Angel, "F.. Find.. her.."

Issi possibly showing the worst timing, enters from the front door peeking around at the manor and the clustering of people gathered around. She gestures (What's happening here?)

Ictus stares at the note a second and shakes his head, "No... It's a bounty." he growls as he clenches the note in his hand, "We need to find Mira, now. I'll explain later." as he sprints back to the entrance

Angus nods to the servant and points to Dio. "I want you to listen to what he says, and report to the crown. As fast as possible." Turning to Sveta he frowns. "Angel you are going to the Triage, that is final. I am going to send a servant there with a pad of paper and something to write with, if you have anything that is important write it down and he will send it my way. You have done enough, thank you." Turning around he looks to his Cousin, before sprinting out the door.
