Tsecti grunted opned his hand he poitned them at the sides of the hallway and began firing large beams causing the hallway and building to began collapsing. Debris began to block their view but in the short time they could see Pierce had vanished, he sighed and sat Xiana down.
"We should probbly be moving"
"Yes you should before you do any more damage to this place."
Said an already transformed Arnak who is trying to straighten the place up a bit.
"Your friend foolishly attacked where it was most unwise and endangered all of you. The exit shouldn't be too far down that way, so you have some time. Don't worry my friends. I'll watch your rear guard and make sure he doesn't send anyone after you. I apologize for not fighting but my mind was elsewhere."
"You go too far sometimes. Do not forget yourself" Tig'lath snarled "I command the respect of Thousands who would die for me. City dwellers tremble with fear upon my approach. If I so choose to have you, I will take you" Tig'lath roared losing himself to his pride.
Calming himself down and feeling a little ashamed at his outburst, he handed Jezebel the Chalice of wine. "Now drink" He said hoping she would understand his gesture as loving.
She smiled and patted the spot next to her, hinting that she wanted him at her side. "Well... We cant do it without someone who is strong in that area of magic.. Someone like Pierce.. But no matter, it's a spell that during the day I would be human... And at night... It would make me like you." She ran her finger over the rim of her cup and waited to see what he would say.
Her smile faltered a bit. "That.. wasnt really the response I was expecting." She took a sip of her wine and moved to a small bag she carried in. It was sitting by the Yurt flap. She knelt and pulled out a few pieces of dried fruit. "You, my dear, will be at my side when we meet Pierce. So in case something goes wrong I wont be alone.. I'm not expecting him to do anything. I'll ask if he will join our cause, and depending on his answer bargain his reward for helping us."
