Ignoring Harry’s question for a moment, she turned to look at Elyssia, smiling just the slightest bit as she said, “
It’s fine, really. Don’t blame them for reacting like that. This isn’t exactly a friendly situation.
”

“
Which is exactly why I said what I did. A greeting would sound more like I’m making fun of you than having the normal effect here.
” she transitioned into answering Harry without pausing. “
I’d also really like to avoid anyone getting hurt, so please tone down the threats. I’m not here to hurt anyone, nor am I here to stop you from leaving. Just understand, please, that I can’t allow you or anyone else to take Vellin from this room.
”

“
And what gives you the right to invade our outpost and take away an...artifact that should remain in the Church’s jurisdiction?!
”

Lias finally found her voice, having been standing there trying to find words for the entirety of the woman’s appearance. Once again, her processing of the situation had led to anger, although it still sounded confused as well. Whatever was happening here, she seemed as badly off in understanding it as everyone else was.

“
The fact that he would be treated as a prisoner, and your people would use him to attempt to further military power when all it will bring is destruction. Maybe those in power now don’t remember what it took to end this last time, but I do, and I’m not letting the same mistake be made.

“
That’s not acceptable.
” was Lias’ reply, and her voice was now low and serious. It was clear she was still angry, but she sounded much more like she was trying to be official than she had before.

“
You’re freeing someone that is being held on Tias land, and while you claim to know why he is here there’s nothing to back you up. You’re unlawfully freeing someone that could be dangerous to the world. If this man is going to be freed, then it should be done by Tias, and not by...whoever you are. This needs to happen officially or not at all, so I have to ask you to step away from that sarcophagus.
”

While she sounded like she was speaking officially, the lack of a forward movement from Lias indicated that she wasn’t sure if what she was doing could even mean anything. In addition to that, the slight glance she cast around at everyone else seemed to be checking for any form of agreement, or the lack thereof, that she could find. It seemed she wasn’t confident in her own ability to resolve this. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

Harry Richard

Why not just kill him and cut out the middle man?

That was the thought that crossed Harry's mind. Harry honestly didn't approve of either Netheris, Tia, or this unknown third party taking hold of... whoever this person was, and whatever he could do. And even if they could stop the pair from carting him away, what would their rag-tag group then do with him? The situation would be a lot less complicated and probably far more safer if the man was simply no longer alive.

Then he discarded the thought. The first to raise their gun in this fight would be the first to die.

Also, if what she was saying had any truth to it, he really didn't want to wake this guy up.

He checked his earlier aggression, and calmed himself once more. "Easy," he said flatly, putting a hand on Lias's shoulder. Then he looked at the woman from the inn. Storm, what a stupid name. He looked back at Lias.

"I don't know who is in the right here," he admitted, "but that looks like more than just an artifact to me, it's a person. And since we don't know why he was imprisoned, you could just as easily say he's being unlawfully held," the well-spoken outlaw shrugged, recalling his father's legal talk. "Best to just let 'em go so you can report back. If you're dead, then your superiors aren't going to know what happened here." Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

As the swords sprang up from the ground Isaac tensed, instinctively starting to draw his sword from its sheath when he paused - the blade only partially freed from the tough leather covering. The new woman had shut down the notion of fighting sharply, Miyasi standing down at her words making it perfectly clear that the young girl thought of her as a superior of some kind. Cautiously, Isaac slid the blade back into place, reminded that he knew they could not win this fight.

He listened, his anger withheld after his outburst, and tried to make sense of all the new information being given. Very little of it was reassuring in any way, but still he considered it just as the rest of the group were - even the tug on his sleeve by the young woman who had fallen behind following them here. There was a lot to keep in mind.

But it was Lias who, among them, spoke first. Even with the hesitation her dedication was commendable, albeit it did place them in a somewhat awkward situation.

" I don't like it, but he's not wrong, " He added, not taking his eyes from either Miyasi or Storm but his lowered tone making it clear he was speaking to the others of the group - particularly Lias. " We wouldn't win against the kid on her own, and if her boss there is anything like her - we've not got a hope in hell. "

Briefly his eyes traced over the figure within the sarcophagus, wondering just how much of what Storm said was true. If even a little of it was, then...

" What about asking him? " Isaac raised another option, nodding towards the sarcophagus. " He's a man, he can speak for himself - who he wants to go with, if anyone. " I am Inferi.

Annie listened to the conversation with this group about freeing Vellin. She didn’t know why it’s Important to release Vellin. She said in a calm voice,” Nice to meet you Storm. My name is my is Annie. Why is it important to save Vellin? Who is Vellin?” When she got her answers then she will make a chose to agree to help or not. -Dances-

Overall, Rory did not seem to pay much attention to the conflict. Instead, he scanned the room whilst the others spoke, a habit of thievery while distractions played. Nothing concerned him, and he had no impact on the world, so why would he care about things beyond self-interest? At worst, the Dreamer was some sort of demigod and the soldiers who attacked the tavern were good guys all along, a thought that Rory did not disqualify. He would not trust these strange magical beings or their crazy contraptions. Or, maybe that technological device was worth a small fortune?

“Yeh, let deh guy speak,” was all Rory said, still care-free in his look.

Amidst so much discussion, Elizabeth did not feel she should add anything. She did not understand what went on, but found the strange lighting and beeping to be as mysterious as curious. She grew up in an old-fashioned manor house away from modernization, and the imagery of fantastic things mesmerized her. But, the tension reminded her of her troubled upbringing. Unhappy memories of abuse and yelling at times shut her thinking down completely. Elizabeth sighed, shoulders, head, and eyebrows dropping. She actually felt guilty for being curious.

At least dad's not here to see me scared... she thought to herself.

Elyssia

Elyssia took a meek step from Isaac, removing her loose grip on his sleeve. Her face was unsettled from Storm’s less than friendly words, but she remained otherwise quiet as the conversation rolled back to something about military power, dreamers and prisoners. It was all well above her head, and she was too nervous to ask for clarification.

Now the Tias woman was serious and official, a tone Elyssia knew well. All too aware of her shaking thighs, a dry shiver ran down Elyssia’s spine. As the Tias soldier consulted the group, Elyssia could only gaze down dejectedly. It seemed Elizabeth wasn’t the only one having trouble with the tension in the room.

Outpost - Underground Vault

“
That’s...not the worst idea.
”

Lias’ tone was one that indicated she had known what she was saying would go nowhere, but was disheartened by the fact that she didn’t get any support on it. She didn’t push it, though, indicating that, despite what she was obviously feeling, she knew enough to realize it wasn’t a good idea to make this hostile.

“
Even then, though, how can we know he’ll even tell the truth? If he’s imprisoned here for a good reason, do you think he’d actually say it? I’m willing to listen because I don’t think I have a choice anymore, but I don’t think I can trust anything that get said.
”

“
I wish that was possible.
” Storm replied. “
Even though Vellin can be insufferable, and he’d probably tell you I’m kidnapping him just to make things difficult, it’d do more to help than harm. Unfortunately, it’s going to take time for the stasis to wear off, and we don’t have the time to wait for that. The portal has a very short lifespan, and we cannot afford to take the time to return conventionally.
”

There was a quiet chuckle from the center of the group at this, the writer following it up with a rather dry, “
That’s convenient.
”

If she heard that, Storm ignored it, adding, “
Oh, and Vellin is his name. I’m sorry, I forgot that there’s no way any of you would know that. First and foremost, he needs to come back now so that he has the ability to continue his life, but also because there's something we need him to...call. It's difficult to explain, but the most direct way of saying it is that he sealed something away that needs to be brought back.
”

“
Two minutes.

Miyasi’s monotone voice cut through the discussion, causing Storm to look back at her briefly before nodding. At that, the girl hit the last few glowing buttons on the panel in front of her, and as she did Storm turned around and walked over to the front of the sarcophagus, Miyasi taking a few steps back so she was no longer in the way.

The stasis field around the Dreamer flickered for a moment before disappearing, the trails of energy retreating into the black sides of the sarcophagus. For a moment, he hung there, before whatever lifting mechanism that had been supporting him gave way and he dropped. This was clearly why Storm had been standing in front of the coffin, though, and he dropped into her outstretched arms. It seemed that she had been correct, as the limp form of the man indicated that he was not conscious.

Turning to the group, Storm spoke again.

“
I would like for us to leave now. If you wish to try and stop us, then I will not fault you, but just be aware that it will be a waste of your time and energy. This isn’t an insult, so please don’t take it as such, and if you wish to try the failure won’t cost you your life.
”

With that, the two of them would begin walking back towards the portal. Storm was first, while Miyasi was behind her. The swords on the ground stirred again, rising up to follow the girl as they walked. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

Annie felt very confused what was going on but, it started to make sense when Strom explained who Vellin is and why they needed him. She had more questions about Vellin. Then she realized that they were leaving. She was going to follow them to get more answers as she ran towards the portal to follow. -Dances-
