Chunji and Ciara disappeared.

Then did Iraleth.

The mage followed after, phasing through bulkheads even as Otis raised them up once the danger presented by Ciara had passed. Curious magics were involved, of course, ones that he’d have liked to look into further, but for the time being, there was the problem of the third floor to solve. The Strigidae student didn’t feel the need to appear in person, not when there were so many volatile individuals present, not when he was comfortable building up an understanding of the tower’s own capabilities.

But it was slightly bothersome too, to be stuck doing nothing but watching things through cameras built and positioned by others.
So he went back at it.

In this period of slight calm, the Strigidae sent a quick message via Adapa to the referee-mage that had given him permissions to begin with, simply inquiring about the situation on the third floor, while simultaneously pulling out a variety of tools and materials from his various pouches. Gears, screws, brass plates, oils, tinctures, springs, all the tools of a craftsman. Designing a flying variation would be too much effort for the amount of time that he may have left, while the rolling creature he had created to stalk Principal Raja wouldn’t manage the stairs, so in this particular case, Otis’s design was that of a clockwork leech: an elongated creation with two ends that could grasp onto surfaces, a spring-like main body that could flex and swing, and a bundle of essence meant for silencing its movements and pinging its location back to his Adapa.

A rushed job that likely wouldn’t last too long, but it’d do.

He placed it on the floor, made it traverse a few simple obstacles to confirm that everything functioned properly, finetuned its structure and essence-makeup, before allowing it to walk through the Door.

A moment later, the Door reopened in the second-floor staircase well, and an unassuming slinky-metal-thing plopped out to begin its own journey into the unknown.

Back in the trial grounds that had become his temporary office, Otis reclined back against his seat, awaiting further changes and results.

Mmm, if Otis sent a message to her Adapa regarding the current situation on the third floor, would she respond?

Iris Ascendis

Since the third floor is more or less accessible now, how are the Guards/Nicole responding to this? Are they going in as well?

Guess I'll also ask if Raja has appeared at all also, considering how big the commotion has gotten.

Iris Ascendis

So at this point, how close are peeps away from rebound anyhow? Might be good to get an understanding as to where MP bars are at before things really kick off for the fight.

Iris Ascendis

I don't intend on doing an Otis post this round myself, naw, unless someone else informs him immediately of the whacky shenanigans on the third floor.

Anyone else planning on reacting to these hijinks? This would be a great time to gain some favor points from the Queen!

ArrowFell: The Wizard Queen's Court

In any case, I’ll give others a moment to react first. Rhinecliff is just gonna be going “gdi why did she have to pop out of my shadow” while puzzling out how he’d convince the Wizard-Queen that no, he did not plan any of this.

Iris Ascendis

On one hand, it was almost like a church was dropped overtop the tower

Oh, Leyline Overcharge, eh?

ArrowFell: The Wizard Queen's Court

Just a small note.

Islara did not normally go around rolling in fauna — dirty as it was

Fauna are animals.
