Rochelle smirked as the queen responded to everyone's motivations. While their answers weren't exactly noble or heroic, surely there was some value in honestly at least. When they were told where the treasure was Rochelle checked her equipment for the journey below, only to get interrupted by a guardsman. Apparently assassins are like thugs in the capital city of Angi, because they just strode up to the queen's castle and wants a piece of her. Rochelle may have been a bandit out in the wastelands, but even she had a bit more tack and subtly than that. What did they expect the queen and her guards to do, cower and flee?
The fact that Rochelle really wasn't sure is why she didn't immediately go with the other heroes to face the assassins. Instead she turned towards the queen and her bodyguard. "I may be from these lands, but that don't mean I feel particularly attached to you or the land. If living in Angi taught me anything, it was that there's a fire in everyone, and the only ones who can let their fire burn are the ones who can snuff out others. So... I gotta ask: Are you going to fight, or will you let your light go out?" Rochelle looked directly at the queen. Rochelle never much liked those who sat on their laurels. If she was the Queen of Angi, the land of fire, than Rochelle expected her to be able to act and fight like a Queen of Fire.

That was a fun collab! I'm still on the fence with how Kyra is going to develop, so I can't wait to do more stuff for her. @Hekazu would you mind if I also have Kyra run into her father first before she finds Falconmoon? I don't mind if you want to play as Kyra's father too, though I had planned to control him myself.
With the last of the invaders dead, Kyra lowered her bow and looked towards Parum and the prisoner. Without a word she walked over to the two, picked up the raider and went inside the fortress. There was no time to waste; once the door was open Kyra took the raider to the prisons. As she walked past everyone she let them know where she was going to be at. "I'll be interrogating this one at the prison. If you'd like, I could use your help getting some answers from her. I'd certainly like to know who leads this army and why they're doing what they're doing." Kyra dragged her guest away, and once they reached the prison she wasted no time binding the unconscious raider in chains. Kyra was actually quite familiar with the mechanisms, as they used a similar sort of thing when slaughtering cattle. And if this prisoner doesn't cooperate, her fate would be just the same.
Kyra waited at the prison for the raider to awaken or for the others to come, which ever came first. There was already some "tools" here she could use to begin the interrogation, though it still relied on the prisoner waking up first. So Kyra just sat in a chair across the prisoner, waiting.

Thank Chauntea, it looks like critical hits are contagious. I hope an 11 is enough to put down the unarmed bandit. I have a feeling he's a wizard.

There was no time to celebrate their small victory. With the prisoner secured Kyra and the others returned to the keep, but not before running into another group of enemies. Three brigands, two armored and one less so. "We have company!" As Kyra shouted out, Brannor had already ran up and cleaved a brigand in twain. Kyra herself was prepared for battle as well, quickly notching an arrow on her bowstring and sending it directly towards the unarmed chest of one of the raiders. Her arrow struck true, perhaps guided by Kyra's faith, or maybe simply thanks to her years of experience as a hunter. Regardless the arrow flew right into the unarmored raider's chest, likely piercing his heart. She then drew another arrow and shifted behind Orchid, ready for the charge from any surviving opponent.
So this was the queen of Angi? Rochelle had expected her to be some sort of fire elemental, or at least more of a flame motif. But then again it's not like Rochelle had any idea how high fashion goes in the royal court. At least the queen looked queenly. Her two bodyguards seemed like annoying twats, but Rochelle guessed that if they weren't, they would be bad bodyguards.
The queen questioned everyone's motives, as if the threat of Darkness taking over the world wasn't a good enough reason to be all up in arms. Seemed a bit odd how nonchalant the queen herself was about it, if she's aware of its threat. "That evil threatens to destroy the world I live in. There are things here that I like, the most important of those things being myself. so if course I'll protect it. Honestly, what kind of a question is that? When you have a big god like Lucius warn you of a threat to the entire world, you'll have to be some epic level of stupid to just ignore it."

Sorry, busy days. I'll see if I can't whip up a shorty post but Rochelle doesn't really have much to say.
19 for my initiative. If I had known there was a scouting party nearby we could have just gone after them! Oh well. Leave no survivors.
Kyra ran up to the others after seeing their swift take down of the bandit. It looked like they managed to arrive quickly enough to prevent the fires from spreading out of the mill, but no doubt they'll be back once they're gone. And they may come with reinforcements too. Kyra wanted to stay and protect this mill; perhaps this time they could turn the tables on the brigands and lay a trap for them. But as she thought of this, Parum's words rang in her mind. As much as Kyra hated these people, she knew that she alone could not hope to take them all down, no matter how furious she is. She had to fight smarter then that. To that end, they needed to take this prisoner somewhere safe and get any information they could out of her.
Seeing that the woman was out cold and bleeding, Kyra charged a weak spell through her hand and into the brigand. It wouldn't heal her wounds, but it would keep her from bleeding out. With Brannor's first aid, that'll ensure that she'll be alive enough to answer a few questions back at the keep. "We got what we've came for. Let's leave before they bring back reinforcements." Kyra drew another arrow in preparation for any enemy scouts and went ahead of the others, ensuring that their path was clear from any danger.
