Eclipse inspects the small item, not understanding at first, but then quickly realizing the significance of the item. He looks at Tvivel, amazed that she would put such trust in him so easily. It was not that he could not be relied on to be responsible with the power he had been given, but only that Tvivel and Eclipse barely knew one another. Was this what came of being named Councilor of his Path? He felt momentarily disappointed that he had nothing of similar significance to offer, save his True Name, and he wasn't giving that up no matter the circumstance.
He nods to her, acknowledging that he understood her, resolving himself to use this link to the best of its advantage. Meanwhile he continues to follow her, matching her pace.
Spade watches the ball fall short. But it had down the job. Merely pointing out the way would not have gotten the point across that the Intruder was close. Spade hurries forward 20 meters. His focus on where he saw the ripples.
How high up does the Catwalk look to be and how far is the closest ladder or stair? how far is hte closes shelf to the Left? Could Spade jump down onto it then jump to the second?
Spade rounds to see if Tvivel and Eclipse were close. They would need him on the ground. Spade scans the catwalk for a ladder close by, then he tries to guess how far up he is and ho far closest shelf it to the cat walk. He could either drop down or climb down if there wasn't a Ladder close by.
Rolls, and would Matter Armor help protect in the case of falling damage?

While jogging down the corridor she looked up at Spade that seemed to hesitate at the walk way. Getting down would be dangerous and leave him vulnerable.
Time to try to be useful. Time to stress the intruder a little. Time to work that serpent tongue. The redhead girl slowed down and looked back at Eclipse and nodded up with raised eyebrows at Spade before she started, hoping he wouldn't get to confused and get what she was doing.
She kept her voice low, but not to low and started to chant in Atlantian. So high that she was fairly certain to be heard by the intruder.
She had heard the chant before when Ridderlig, her old cabals leader used it in battle, calling lighting and thunder to his old and wrinkled hands to burn living flesh of their enemies. A chant she always feared, but in god way. It left her lips world nu word making her shiver. She spun some of the fear she felt into the ancient language words, because the best lie was she once spun with some truth.
Maybe Tvivel couldn't call thunder, but she could sound like she was about to.
Looking down Spade decides it;s best he didn't brake his legs. He'd stay an sentry for a little longer. "Two rows that way!" Spade points in the direction of the intruder and drops this Illusion spell.
It had been useless. A waste.
Spade refocuses his sight and tries to see if the Intruder was moving now that he or she knew the Consilium was here.
Spade can see ripples in the silence moving away, down the aisle. They stop as he calls out to the others, then continue. They're even, and not rushed.
