"Damn, I guess the plan to use explosions is out, so I guess we can go with fire. Basically, we or I set a big fire in the middle of town, then when everyone goes to check it out, I open the cages and you can break the control spells on some of the Keidran. Of course, since this is the least bloody option, it will only free some of them. The alternative would be to break into the Templar Tower and destroy the master control spells, triggering the release of every Keidran from control for miles, resulting in mass slaughter. Which plan would you rather go with?"

"Honestly I'd like to go with the one that reduces the amount of deaths, but, I'd like to tell you something right now. I can make mana crystals explode. It's really simple but can only be use by guys who know how to control magic, such as me. So, tell me what you were thinking of when you asked me if they could do such a thing."

"Well, then if you are willing to help, a mixture of the plans can be made. We set a fire at the Auction, causing it to be the center of attention, and drawing the majority of the Templar from their Tower, then we take the remaining Templar in the tower by surprise and eliminate or disable them, destroy the master-control spell and set up a huge explosion that draws attention to the Templar Tower. After the Templar are distacted, we free the remaining Keidran and send them off into the woods. I learned earlier that it takes 15 minutes for a message to get to the main Tower, so the time window is smnall but it can be accomplished if it is done right. " Kieran said.

"That's...That's a pretty good plan. Let's do it. I just hope that the explosion doesn't get anybody in it."He grabbed a few more mana crystals for the explosion, and opened the door to his room and walked out the inn, noticing a few people crowding around Lillian and a stranger he did not recognize.

Kieran followed Rick out of the room and also spotted the people. "Si something going on out here?" He asked.

He slowed to a stop before the inn door and turned to look at Kieran and shrugged,"I don't know, but do you want to check it out before going through with the plan?"

"Definitely, we might convince more people to join us, and more people means things go much better." Kieran said and stepped forward. "Hello, who are you?" He addressed the strangers.

He followed Melcoia and the only person who attracted any attention from him was Melcoia, whom he stared at curiously,"Hello there."

"Huh. I'll go check back. Hunting down the keidran can wait."

Paul turned back towards the town, and went into a crouch.
okay...been a while, but I can still do this... blue swirls came up from the ground around him, and drifted gently into his legs.
Okay...should be there in a bit.

Paul ran down the street, past foxen and her company, jumped up, did a flying kick through the inn door, and skidded to a stop in front of the crowd.

"Eh...Don't ask."

"Hmm, it's impossible to tell," he said, sniffing the air, "It seems like the guards trail scent dissappeared, but I smell some other keidrans though. But that could be from the slave traders bringing in 'slaves' to sell and auction for. I think it's impossible to track the guard from here." "Are you sure Mushka? Can't you tell what happened?" "Hmm, sorry, I can't. I'm sure you must know something master." He was pretty sure Foxen might have an idea what happened to the guard.

Foxen's eyes started to glow as she searched the area. "here isn't a trace and your right following the scent wouldn't be possible lots of people have been passing through this gate and his scent just disappears right here, but there re two things, one there a scent here. It's a Keidran scent, but it doesn't smell like a keidran the scent leads out of town, two there is a very high amount of black magic in this area" Foxen said her eyes stopped glowing. "We should keep moving i have a few things in town i need to pick before we head back to the inn" Foxen said walking off quickly.

The silver armor followed silently behind Foxen's group after retrieving its spear. The events of Foxen being healed had confused it, but being a simple thing it just decided it best not to ask, but just to follow instead.

Melcoia nodded at Lillian named of each of her friends and when she finished he gave a light bow to them all, still holding Lillian's hand. "Its nice to meet you all." he said with a smile, and chuckled a bit when Luca barked. Looking over to Lillian, Melcoia smiled and, pulling her a bit closer spoke to her in a hushed voice, "Lillian if we don't hurry I won't get the chance to show you what I wanted to." He tugged on her hand a bit, towards the door, seeming urgent but altogether excited as well.

When Rocksess returned to the templar tower he found that Malic was gone, where to, he couldn't figure.

Lillian giggles. "Heh, sorry I didn't realise there was a time limit" She said. She urged Melcoia to lead the way and as he did so she waved back to her friends. "Bye bye, see you all again soon" She said al lexcited. She skipped out of the door behind Melcoia and with a flick of her heel kicked the door shut.

Mushka and Meesha followed quietly after Foxen. Black magic. I've only heard rumors about it. I'll ask Foxen about it later.' 'They're speaking too fast for me to keep up with everything. From the sound of it, the guy was transformed into keidran. But that's impossible, right?'

Rick watched Lillian and the stranger skip away, and looked back at Kieran,"Okay then, back to the plan."He walked out the door, guessing that Kieran would follow.
