As Azrael falls to his side, his gaze never once leaves the Mural, he starts crawling closer to it, licking it. The pain in his shin was nothing compared to the majesty of this work of art.

Leon, as you start carving the wall, Azrael your fascination of it starts to wane. 

Upon noticing that whatever spell had befell their fellow comrade had started to waiver, he dug deeper, moved to different parts of the mural to crave different things onto the wall (yes, there is a crudely craved benis in there). "Team building everyone; get to carving at this stupid thing!"

"Love," Zeli asks, amused, "Are you carving a..?" She then stops herself, snorting in a quick laugh. "Nevermind, my sweets. Keep going." She begins to help you with her sword. Azrael, you can slowly feel yourself being released.

Danitriel watched this happen with a drunken snicker and slurred "I've heard of art appreciation, but I think this is the first time I've ever seen stone-a-lingus."

Astrid, as you creep up to the second floor, you can see something at the end of the hall - a giant black pudding is sliding out of a crack in the wall and coming towards your general location.

Azrael feels the compulsary need to be here.. to see it fading. Slowly his awe and admiration begin turning to rage towards it... How dare this thing replace his own will and transplant Bahamut.. and now Pheral... as the most important things in his life.

Unaware of the ooze slinking this way, he would cast Ray of Frost on it, covering the entire thing with ice, freezing it to the core... and then, smashing it with his fist, if possible, to shatter it.

You are completely released from the charm. Zeli breathes a sigh of relief. Hey. Where'd Astrid go?

As the wall shattered to the floor, Azrael would sigh, and breath, and spit the taste of dust and grime from his mouth. Accursed piece of trash. He would then turn to everyone and thank then for their assistance, and apologize for his behavior. I wasn't myself.... For some reason I couldn't turn away.. So i think it is safe to say we avoid anything that isn't a door from now on, and learn from my lesson.

Where is the little one? he asks, before moving to Pheral And no, I will not abandon you, willingly.

placing his hand on her shoulder, and giving it a reaffirming squeeze.

Then, moving to Leon, he would say It seems we are now even. Thank you.

Lythril sighs with relief and recasts Light on Azrael’s shaft, then gives the mural a smack with her hammer for good measure.

OOC I’m totally regretting not buying a ranged weapon when I had the chance...Lyhtril likes things up close and personal too much.

initiative 14

((ooc: idk if thats a typo but "recasts light on Azrael's shaft" made me choke on my own spit xD))

Leon silently put away his (damaged) cutlery knife, feeling a tad bit of pride being able to figure out how to break that charm spell on his teammate. "I believe she is upstairs," He replies, walking to the staircase. "Shall we join her?"

He doesn't wait for the others to reply or move (aside from Zeli possibly), making his way up the stairs quietly.

Stealth: 23

The relief is visible on Pherals face but for a moment, and her facade only drops for Azraels gaze.  Lets go loots a super vault. Pheral heads upstairs, crouching into her sneaking position 15 and watching for traps

"Wait for me, if that chatterbox is quiet, something is way wrong." Strapping her hammer and drawing her spear, Lythril follows, taking two stairs at a time.

Stealth 14

occ staf staff! stupid tablet !

Astrid has found a black pudding slowly slithering towards her upstairs. Everyone roll for initiative.

Ooze: 15

Lyth, that initiative roll, i'm assuming, is for the ooze, not you attacking the wall, right lol

Astrid comes bolting down the stairs, and runs head first into Leon’s crotch. Oooof!  Stumbling backwards, “sorry!”

In a voice a little louder than a whisper, to the gathered group, she pants out “Monster....pudding monster....upstairs and coming this way.....Az!  FIRE bomb that thing!  Quick!”

 OOC Gonna just keep my original roll up there ^ if that's ok? 14

Initiative: 7

Azrael shakes his head, before saying I do not have any fire spells today... They are all thunder, or lightning... and a few utility spells....

He then enters stealth.... 10 and doesnt do as badly as normal, but hes not exactly hidden.

He then prepares his Frostbite for when the Ooze makes it's way around the corner, or on his turn if readyign is not possible right now due to initiative.

Initiative 22

A single tear rolls down the half-elf's cheek when the sudden surge of pain erupted from his groin, all thanks to everyone's favorite pink woodland squirrel.

Leon gives Astrid a thumbs up, hiding his pain to continue to trudge up the stupid stairs.

Initiative: 11

(OOC: what spells and meta magic is Azraerl packing today ?)
