Ominar - The Prison
With the magic nullification field down, the cameras taken care of, and obstacles passed, Charles and Mairyell were able to make their way to the proper cell blocks, but not before two escapes had already occurred.
Earlier, when the null field had gone down it had been the work of a certain harpy prisoner by the name of Drisrea. Once down she had kicked the door of her cell off its hinges, followed by using magic to open a cell opposite hers. Then, splitting from the woman she had rushed through the facility, ambushed the warden, and obtained the prisoner details, after which she had continued on and released a number of actual convicts, who she then whisked away even as the Mairyell and Charles finished releasing the innocents who had been incarcerated.
Providing a distraction, along with one which had already been kicked up outside by Charles construct and the other group of resistance fighters—as it were—Mairyell, Charles, and those in the distraction team managed to make their way to safety, without leaving too many of the liberated behind. However, in the process their de facto leader, Zeki Glaedwine, was apparently captured, though Szayeis managed to escape—host body and all, leaving the Geist for dead. Whether Zeki was properly incarcerated or not—due to his ghostly nature—remains to be seen.
All things considered, the operation had gone surprisingly well, Szayeis' secret infiltration had managed to get what they'd come for, the Resistance had gotten what they'd set out to—cementing their existence and raising morale from the success despite the loss of Zeki. Of course, not all was well that night.
After all, the other shoe had yet to drop. Hopefully when it did, it would not lead to disastrous results. Regardless, the city was put on high alert, though luckily a curfew was not enforced. Where before it had only been police that patrolled, now it would be some of the prae's private forces as well. Still, many families were reunited so things weren't all bad.
Not yet at least.
