"I think Aerious is right. Even if we dressed up as soldiers, we could still be caught. And I doubt I'd be able to move around well in that armor. Now...let's simply pick a path and go on forward" he said, checking out all four pathways the corridor had.
"This way, come on." he said, sprinting down the hallway.

"Lead on," Matthias agreed, as he hurried to follow Matis. He left the helmet on, though, oddly enough. He hoped they were going the right direction...

OOC: The person who is NOT a mod has to move along the MAIN plot, come on guys. -_-
IC: Aerious followed Matis and Matthias down the winding hallway that lead to a flight of stairs going down, leading into the basement of the castle he supposed. As they approached them they heard a large clatter of steel boots from the other direction. Aerious stopped and considered the option. This hallway was small, too difficult for large numbers of people to fight effectively...and his stone still had a good deal of power left.
"Go on! I can stall the guards here! I can pose as a servant to throw them off your trail! Now go find this person, we need all the information we can get so we don't have to fight this entire capital!"

OoC: Blame Jungle Boy. I just posted, and he's the one who's got the reins here....
"If yer sure ya can handle it, then go ahead," Matthias agreed. He took out his bow. "Matis, ya gotta take the lead. I can cover ya." He nodded to Aerious. "Make sure ya make it out alive. They probly don't recognize ya, so you should be able ta get away with it."

"Heh, yes I suppose I could. Don't worry, if worse comes to worse, this isn't just for show." Aerious added, tapping his sword. He reflected for a moment in the cruel irony of that remark, and then turned down the hallway, to buy Matis and Matthias some much needed time.

OoC: Why must it always be US moving the story ahead? We might make guidelines, but you can follow them and ADD to them. Oh well.
BiC: "Take care, Aerious" he said, sprinting down the hallway. "We HAVE to find that woman. But how? This is risky, but I guess it's the only way, unless we want to spend the rest of our lives here."
"Laurette!" he shouted, still running down the hallways, checking random prison doors. "Laurette, where are you?"
"Over here!" a voice came from a door all the way down the corridor. Upon opening the door, Matis was met by a lady with red hair, resembling Lyndsey's, wearing light armor. The woman hugged him, making Matis feel uncomfortable, and then, without even wasting a second, ran down the hallway. "Follow me, we need to stop Theodore before he nukes this country!"
"Talk about speedy. Onwards!" Matis shouted, and started following Laurette. He didn't know if this had been the best idea, but it's all they had. Hopefully, Aerious would manage to find them later.

Aerious waited at the intersection for the guard patrol to round the corner. Sure enough they did, and he was met with more then a few lances pointed in his face. The woman who appeared to be in charged barked at him.
"Out of the way servant, we've a report of intruders!"
Aerious tried to maintain composure. "Y-Yes! I saw them run off down that hallway!" He pointed to the opposite one Matis and Matthias had gone. Unfortunately he didn't seem to have been convincing enough.
"You lie! Don't try to fool me!" She roared, as she raised her lance.
This is risky at best, but it's better then death! Aerious thought as the silver tipped lance sped downwards. His Dragon Stone glowed and he opened his still human mouth, letting out a jet of flame that filled the hallway. It was weaker, but it got the job done. However using his flame breath without reverting had it's penalties too, as Aerious fell to the ground in a silent scream of agony. His throat had been terribly burned by that fire, since his human form wan not designed to channel it. It would heal in time, but for now, it left him weakened and unable to use his breath, or do anything else except focus on the pain.

Matthias followed Laurette and Matis, the arrow still nocked and ready. The woman did look eerily similiar to Lyndsey... just how high up the food chain was that girl? "How's he gonna nuke the country? Does he have some magician up his sleeve or somethin'?" Matthias asked as he struggled to keep up. Matis had always been agile, and Laurette knew where she was going. Besides, Matthias wasn't used to running with swords strapped to him, it took getting used to.

OOC: Guess it's just you and me thanks to Matis's finals eh bunny?
IC: Somewhere between the agonizing pain and now Aerious must have been discovered. He was so delirious that he didn't even remember what had happened, all he knew is that he was now in a rather small stone room, with a women holding a lance on the other end of it. He looked up and she glared at him.
"You must be a novice mage indeed if you burned yourself, heh. I'm sure Theodore would find it quite amusing how inept you are."
Aerious stood up, of course his sword wasn't there, but his Dragon Stone still was. They hadn't thought so far as to take it from him, so all he had to do was wait until Matis and Matthias found who they were looking for. Thinking of Matthias he smirked, thinking that he would probably make a lot of noise when they began their attack. The guard noticed.
"What are you smiling about?" She asked warily.
Unable to respond Aerious just widened his smirk and shrugged. Lying back on the plank they called a bed...waiting.

In a dark room alone Brad had teleported here, not quite where he had hoped to go, he attempted to warp to the grave of Matthias to pay his final respects, he walked outside the room opening the door and walked into a corridor, He was not alone.

Laurette and Matis both remained silent as they continued down the corridor. Matthias huffed angrily to himself as he hurried to keep up. He swore he heard an eerily familiar sound. Kind of like when he was teleported into the Ruinz bandit base... He jerked his head to the side, and thought he saw a shaman... He didn't have time to stop though, he just kept on running.

The trial room. The very same place Lyndsey had been in only a week ago at most. Upon entering the room, they were swarmed by guards, who caught all three of them, as a man sat in the biggest seat in the room.
"You...I've longed to see you die."
"Why?", Matis replied, barely able to move at all.
"Because my master wants you dead, that's why. Now, kill them, soldiers!" The shout echoed through the room.
Laurette moved fast. As soon as the man high counselor had spoken, she had thrown both guards holding her to the ground, and effectively took one of their spears.
Matis did the same, just as a lance was about to skewer him, instead impaling one of the enemies.
This has to end. And now.

Brad saw a figure move behind him, he quickly turned and followed, not running at the same speeds as the figure but walking at a regular pace.

Aerious heard a loud commotion from the outside of his small room. The female guard stood up and looked at the door, hesitating. It would seem that Matthias and Matis decided to start a fight, and sure enough the next sound Aerious heard confirmed this.
"Attack! Attack on the High Counselor! All hands to the trial room!" The guard was no longer in the room, as she sped off, down the hallway to her left. Hopping to his feet Aerious walked over to the door and strolled into the hall. No need to rush, he'd just see how Matthias and Matis could handle this problem...

Matthias broke free from the guard holding him, jerking sharply against their thumbs, knowing from experience that was a weak point. He rolled backwards, careful not to stab himself. As he rose, he felt a spear nearly pin him to the door. Somehow he managed to make it to the doorway, though not without a ripped cloak. He quickly barred the door with a couple of nearby spears.
Then he whirled to face the guards. "That should give us enough time ta finish you off."
