One spell was relinquished and another took its place:
Belle
opted to open her eyes to the abundance of Magic flung around. Things certainly have become more hectic compared to a few minutes ago. With the possibility of noticing (and therefore countering) what might get slung at them she worked at a plan to get Corn to where Aurora is. It's too dark to see how high she'd have to boost the Moros and the echo only suggested some distance.. she got the sinking feeling that it won't be too easy, though.
Said Moros got ready to do his part in the operation: with silent focus he brought the Imago into this reality and was ready to play mediator for whatever was guarding the treasure the Mystagogues came here for. And just after he was done conveying his plan to his colleagues, the air turned sickly sweet and then putrid again as the Shaman changed forms once more. With ease
Aurora
transformed hair into feathers, arms into wings and feet into sharp talons. After a few seconds an owl perched on the ledge of the alcove, ready to fly back to the others.
The screaming and yelling was replaced by cocky giggling verging on madness and soon the sound of distant bells was added to the cacophony. The Mage was casting again, potentially tempting the Abyss another time to take hold in the Fallen World.

Another yell, this one of surprised pain. "And I will bear his punishment, for I am chosen!" The last word was drawn out into a chilling howl of frustration. Whatever he had envisioned, it probably didn't work quite as planned.
Turn order: (14)Aurora - (13)Intruder - (10)Belle - (9)Corn
The Intruder absorbs the Paradox, taking one point of bashing damage.
Corn
I've subtracted 2 dice from your pool (still a success, subtracted from the right): High Speech needs to be chanted a turn before casting. Casting and passing around equipment is also iffy, so let's agree to him casting his spell and giving out orders.
Aurora
, equipment doesn't transform when you change shapes (unless you add Matter to the mix), so her Magic Tool is left behind with her clothes and equipment. Luckily, the result doesn't change.

Belle
just a heads up: the group is a good distance away from the trapped other Mage, so they can't see him as is - therefore countering anything is also not possible right now.
If Corn wants to try and jump up there he'd need 8 successes in an (Str + Athletics) roll - one success allows a character to jump one foot vertically and with the added height of Belle and Corn you'd still need to cover ~3 yards (i.e. 8-9 feet). The walls are too smooth to climb, but Belle can do a (Str + Athletics) roll herself as part of a teamwork action for Corn.
Belle
is up.
