"W-wait, wait! Halt! Cease-cease!" Sounded the worried voice of the Captain as he held an arm out to tell his men to stay put as some of them reached for their weapons and leveled their guns.

His calm demeanor had long since been abated and replaced by a concerned expression as the man's eyes flickered between Liaena's arm, his nether regions, and his surrounding men who had just stepped closer. His cigar had dropped to the floor where it lay on the ground between Liaena and Blastwits.

"There is no reason to do this, girl. There is no way out from here, the elevator does not work. I assure you, this scheme of yours will never end w,- aaahhh, okay, okay!" The pitch of the man's voice became higher as Liaena pressed the dagger more menacingly towards his family jewelry. 
"Stand down, men. And we will find a resolution to this."

The Captain instructed his men, sweat now trickling down along his forehead and down to his heavy brows.

The black haired battle mage, Sathrielle, who was still standing next to them did apparently not share the same concern as the Captain. Unlike the worried expression of the Captain, she was currently giving both him and Liaena a rather calm glare whilst brandishing her staff; even as the rest of the White Hand mercenaries in the room were stepping away or lowering their weapons.

"Sergeant Commissar Blackheart, please, do as the girl says." The Captain said to Sathrielle in a pleading voice, but received little sympathy from the eyes of the battle mage. 

"Cowardice is not in your contract, Captain Blastwits. Though your life and limbs are your own to protect, you will not be allowed to compromise the integrity of the force for the sole sake of their protection." It was a wicked gleam that flashed across Sathrielle's eyes as she suddenly raised her ebony staff and pointed it at the barrier created by Kathlin!

"No! Don't!" 

Sounded the pleading words from Captain Blastwits in the background, but Sathrielle seemed deaf to the man's plight. 

"[b]Men of the White Hand, apprehend these intruders! Disobedience will be punished by death![/b]" Sathrielle suddenly screamed out with a fanatic zeal! Kathlin soon found the barrier becoming immeasurably more cumbersome to maintain as Sathrielle cast a dispel spell with ruthlessly proficiency against the group, the walls of light around them starting to dim as the experienced battlemage's magic worked its way through the apprentice's barrier!
