"Oh no you gosh darn diddly don't!" Amelia shouts as she imposes herself between her daughter and the pup, protecting her from a vicious bite. "Cory, you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm f-- OOFPH" Corrin gets knocked to the ground by Misha's mighty swing!
Amelia's eyes dart from the beast to her daughter and Misha who accidentally hit her. "MISHA!"
With the anger that quickly built up in the pit of her stomach, the blonde gives two swings to the hellhound in front of her!

Misha immediately dropped her hammer and shield, seeing as she hit Corrin instead of the Hellhound. "Oh, no!!"Misha cried in horror - it was terrible luck, and she was mortified. Amelia was angry, and Misha yelled "I'm sorry! I'm so-"but Amelia's second swing sliced Misha's face, and she twisted away in a thin spray of blood with a loud "AUK!"
"Ok. I believe that makes it even now. Misha accidentally hit Corrin, Amelia accidentally hit Misha. Although, now that I think about it, Corrin would need to hit Misha for it to be even, since she was the one who was hit. Do you feel like you need to hit Misha to feel better, Corrin?"
Misha glares at Riannis from on the ground. "Shut up leetle gleeter mosqeeto, was accident."Misha gets up, wipes the blood from her face, and rushes over to Corrin, gently picking her up off the ground if she was still down. "Sorry, Preencees, Misha not aim very well - deed not mean to heet you. Please forgeef me?"

He said, settling on a chuckle in the end. "On that I think we can both agree upon my Sprite-ly friend. That and press on if none need much mending. Though-..."

The High Hall is a grand alabaster castle dedicated to Torm, the god of courage and self-sacrifice. It houses many of Elturel’s religious and political leaders — or at least it did when the city was in the mortal realm. By the look of what's left of High Hall Cathedral, it looks like a massive meteor has destroyed nearly half of it. This clifftop castle was once the crowning architectural jewel of Elturel. Only three of its five watchtowers towers still stand, though they appear abandoned. The wooden gates that once led into the castle grounds have been shattered, leaving a gaping hole in the wall. The west side of the castle has been reduced to a pile of smashed brick and broken wood. The surviving buildings are blackened by soot. At the center of the castle grounds, the High Hall cathedral stands defiant.
Three levels make up the High Hall cathedral: the cathedral level (areas H1 through H6), the choir level (areas H7 through H9), and the catacombs level (areas H10 through H17).
H1 - THE HALL OF HEROES
At the top of the stairs leading up to the cathedral, an archway opens into a long hall containing eight columns. Some of the columns have been carved to represent Torm, but the infernal magic of Avernus has warped the others to represent likenesses of a winged female devil wielding a luminous sword - Zariel. Four guards lie dead in the doorways, eviscerated by one of those devil-led groups.
H2 - THE GRAND FOYER
The foyer holds two circular stairwells, each leading up to area H7 on the choir level. Decorated pillars here depict symbols and scenes representative of Torm. Curtains, some of them shredded by weapons and claws, separate this area from the heart of the cathedral.
H3 - THE CENTRAL ALTAR
An altar rests on a raised dais in this broad hall. Made of beautifully polished teakwood, it takes the shape of a gauntleted hand clenched into a fist. A large lever stands next to the altar, suggesting that it has some sort of mechanical function.
DC15 CHA (Religion) check: ????? DC15 WIS (Perception) : ?????
H4 - THE PRIVATE CHAPELS
These areas can be curtained off for small private ceremonies. Each of these chapels contains the bodies of dead guards, as well as the foul remains of infernal creatures that died during the initial attack on the cathedral. The columns at the north and south ends of each area have stone altars set before them.
H5 - RESIDENCE STAIRS
These circular stairs once led to residences and offices. They are now choked with rubble, as the sections that housed those spaces were destroyed.
H6 - DESECRATED ALTAR OF TORM
This private chapel holds a desecrated altar with a decidedly fiendish air. Once dedicated to Torm, the altar’s features have been defaced with blood, ichor, and torn strips of flesh lashed together with sinew and intestines. The devils have completely defaced this altar. Misha shakes her head in sadness, and it's not even her God. Lulu is mortified.
"Haha, thank you, Nok Nok!" Corrin laughs a little through the pain she felt as he helped cure her wounds . "I'll try n' be more careful 'round 'em!"
"Oh, shhhhuuugar pie honey buns Misha! I didn't mean to hit you--!"
"I don't think she meant to hit me neither, mama," Corrin pointed out after thanking Misha for helping her up. "And it's okay, Commander Meesh, Nurse Nok Nok healed me up a bit! I'll be okay." She looks to everyone else. "Thanks for worrying about me!"
Amelia breaths a little easier and stows away her sword and shield and picks up Misha's discarded weapons to return to her. "Here. Really sorry about that hit by the way, I know it may have seemed like it but, seriously, I was aiming at the dog and just... Got carried away..." When the weapons are taken out of her hands she rubs the back of her neck. "I'm not good at apologizing, but, uh, let's... Let's keep going, yeah?"

Misha smiles at Amelia. "I apologize as well, for heeting Corrin. Was meestake. You are a strong woman. et ees one thing I admire about you. Misha appreciate you very much. You bring honor and glory to me, fighting beside you. Een battle, one's aim can never be certain - but we can try. Come. There ees evil here and we weel conquer eet - and save who we can."She looked over at Corrin as Nok Nok healed her. She looked back at Amelia and said nothing more, but the look in the Acheronian's eye clearly stated that she would give her life gladly for the child.
