"There we are, girls! Home sweet home!" Serphia would exclaim with a sense of accomplishment as she and the rest of her warriors, Kathlin in tow, finally arrived at the outside of the mansion, approaching a steadily more confused Delilah whose eyes kept growing to a bigger and bigger 'DA FUQ?' face. The utter confusion on Delilah's face would not even begin to abate until she suddenly smelled some of the disgusting stench of raw sewer that emanated from some of the members of the party! "Hello again, Sentinel Delilah. Open the gate! We have been victorious in our quest!" Serphia exclaimed vigorously and with excitement as she raised a hand to gesture towards Delilah. " ... " "We have vanquished the silly monkeys in their fortress - made themselves a mockery right in their very city in front of everyone! ... without being seen our selves, of course!" " ... " "We have... what the fuck is the problem, Delilah?" At that point, Serphia would finally notice the utter look of confusion and astonishment that was plastered onto Delilah's face as she simply gazed up at them, her jaw hanging from her head. Eyes narrow, Serphia would lean forward and give her a slap. "DELILAH!" *Smack!* "Oww!" "Why are you looking at me like that? I thought you'd be cheering after what we've accomplished!" Serphia stated as Delilah began to rub her now sore cheek, the slap apparently having succeeded in throwing her out of whatever mode of surprise she had initially been in! "I.. uh, well... I already let you guys in." "In? We're still outside!" "I mean like less than five minutes ago!" "What?" "I swear, by Elune!" "HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING ON WATCH, DELI?!" "NO! NO-NONO! I LET YOU GUYS IN JUST... JUST MINUTES AGO! LOOK!" Delilah would exclaim, becoming frantic as she waved her arms in front of Serphia to the surprise and confusion of the rest of the Night Elves standing behind her. "Just come in, you,- I mean, [i]they[/i], are still there! Let me show you!" Delilah said, having given up trying to explain to the Captain as the Sentinel instead began to fumble with the key to the gate, turning around and begin to open it. Serphia merely stared down at Delilah's back in confusion, before tossing a glance across the rest of her warriors behind her. Lithrielle, Vashi, Aleena, Ashira, and all the rest merely shook their heads and shrugged with their shoulders, none of them daring to make any suggestions as to what was going on. All except Rithrynn, where the Sentinel's eyes would suddenly widen for a moment as a dreadful memory just struck her... [i]"Wait, is this some potion shenanigans reminiscent of Liaena's that's going on?!"[/i] Rithrynn wondered to herself as she went through the possibility. Liaena was not with them after all. What if she had taken a polymorph potion and disguised herself as Captain Serphia - again? Had she arrived before them to infiltrate the mansion and trick the rest of her sisters? It was not inconceivable, after all. They had spent a lot of time simply slugging through the detour that had been the sewer, and Rithrynn knew the insideous little human to be capable of such feats. But to what end? And who would "them" others be? Did Liaena bring friends? Was this an attempt at the Church of the Holy Light to get payback on her and her sisters for messing up their Cathedral? Had a bunch of young apprentices gone rogue, polymorphed into elves and infiltrated their mansion? Rithrynn gazed up at Serphia standing next to her, the Captain's eyes fixed on the gate as it swung open. If Liaena had indeed pulled another one of her polymorph potion shenanigans, especially if she had included other co-conspirators, only one thing was sure to happen if the look in Serphia's eyes was anything to judge by... ... heads would roll.
