Eliath, finally breaking her shock of the magic; rushes to Dar as well, casting a healing charm.
Shalech, you approach the table, the books before you barely illuminated from the light coming from the stairs; otherwise they are encased in complete darkness, as the lights of this floor are gone.
Calling after the girl, "Listen, if anyone has a chance of understanding it's probably the turtle-oid and the bastard half-breed. Spill the beans kid. and we will take you to the only place to learn magic in this shithole." Croak, unarmed, points down toward Dar's tower.
Shalech, you tap into the place inside where you draw forth your magic to illuminate the chamber; and nothing happens. You find your mana pool dry, given in the battle against the books.
Croak has little patience for the hysteria. Dropping to one knee and dropping his pack, he removes a small yet sharp prep knife from his cutlery set, wraps it in a rag and tosses it to the child's feet.
"Here kid. I'm not here to hurt ya. If you want to learn magic to protect yourself then you should know that self defense is a mindset. Magic, arms, barehanded, it all starts with attitude. You're feisty enough, if anyone tries ta hurt ya give them a few jabs with that. Won't be many to risk gettin' stuck in the ribs. "
Turning to Kizori and looking back at the girl, "We are truly on our way to the wizard's tower. You are welcome to walk with us, or lag behind or whatever, but I am leaving now."
Shalech reaches out, grabs hold of the torch, and says, "I don't usually need actual torches. I see well in darkness and usually I can cast light at will. Can you light this?"
The door opens slightly, and the girl looks down at the knife. Without picking it up, she opens the door more and motions to both of you to enter, her tears wiped from her eyes. "Can we talk first?" She asks. "There is something you both should know."

"You don't understand!" She sobs through the door. "Noone here can understand."
Shalech will check on Dar first. If he's not in danger, Shalech will then go inspect the journals.
Eliath, finally breaking her shock of the magic; rushes to Dar as well, casting a healing charm.
Shalech, you approach the table, the books before you barely illuminated from the light coming from the stairs; otherwise they are encased in complete darkness, as the lights of this floor are gone.
Shalech will cast Light and be ready to snuff it out if the books react to the magic in any way.
"****"
Croak walks towards the house after Kizori.

Nathan immediately runs up to Dar anc checks whether he is hurt: "Master Dar! Are you all right?"
Medicine: 21

"But they'll hurt me, you'll hurt me!." The girls replies to Croak, a bit hysterical.
"We have close to an hour before the service of the people of Old Northbank. Would you like to say something then as well?" Normand asks Urselles.
Nathan you watch as Eliath's touch mends and straightens Dar injured and broken finger.
"yes, I think their is something I'd like to say, shall we prepare for the next service"

"Indeed" Normand replies; a pleased look on his face. Lura looks excited; like change might actually be possible.
Shalech will go search for a more mundane light source... A candle, torch or lantern.
As Shalech moves to go downstairs, Eliath mentions that she has torches, handing him one.
Croak has little patience for the hysteria. Dropping to one knee and dropping his pack, he removes a small yet sharp prep knife from his cutlery set, wraps it in a rag and tosses it to the child's feet.

"Yeah. Don't worry." Kizori falls in line with Croak.
Shalech reaches out, grabs hold of the torch, and says, "I don't usually need actual torches. I see well in darkness and usually I can cast light at will. Can you light this?"
