"No problem, friend" he responds to Cosmo playfully and with a wink. No such thing as eternal enmities, and this was as good an opportunity to change course as any.
If the lashing electricity was anything to go by, the spirit was pleased. Sure, it undid most of what he worked on... and to be fair it was a bit underwhelming... but at least they have a clear direction now. Shodan begins to descend the stairs "You coming?" He says to all three mages, but mostly to
Phoenyx
and
living stone
, who have been silent for a while.
Wait... was that movement? It can be anything, from big rats to shadowplay to actual threats, but the Prime Mover can't be sure. Not yet, anyway. That is also when he realizes he's gotten no response from
Kaze
, and has in fact no idea where the rest of the Awakened are. So, he tries again "We're going to check out the basement" The words flow across the radio waves.
It's been four days, so I felt justified in moving this along. Also, I wasn't sure if Shodan can see the approaching vagrants (the narration does state there's several of them and they are advancing), so I tried to keep things vague
