Suspicion

A fire burned in the pit of his stomach from her question. He was free and he had more than enough to tear that entire cave apart stone by stone. "If I had my way of it I'd kill everyone here and let the Maestrom sort out the corpses left behind. But I'm sure the Church of Saint Adama would cringe at having to find spaces for more bodies as it were."

Xi took lead walking briskly, but cautiously, down the cavern halls. He naturally had a soft step but Illandria was noisy by comparison. It wasn't even that she took clumsy steps, in fact it was surprising she could walk as soft as she did but her foot steps still echoed against the walls. Fortunately, besides the sound of her footsteps the only thing he heard was their own breathing. There breathing and nothing else. No murmurs, no footsteps, not even the sound of drunk Roegadyn boasting of their triumph.

The hairs on the back of his neck stood up and a chill ran down his spine. It was too quiet. "Illandria... we need to get out of here, right now."

Up to No Good

Illandria grimaced as she watched the man fall to the ground. The sight was grim, but it was unfortunately something she had become accustomed to during her travels. She was mostly thankful that the plan went over well and they had the chance they needed to get out.

Illandria examined the door that the Roe had opened. She doubted many heard her scream, but they needed to keep moving, just in case. Illandria's thoughts were interrupted by the creaking of the cell door. She stood and walked to the door, offering Xi a weak smile. She gingerly took her grenades from Xi before putting them in their proper places in her now tattered coat. Her gun was not there... That certainly put a damper on things for her.

"Alright, before we go on... do you think we've stalled them enough to go get help, or should we do more damage before we leave?" she asked. With her small handful of grenades and the bomb materials they had here, Illandria could do some real damage in such a small cave.

Fulfilled Promises

Xi stood quietly in the shadow of the room as the roegadyn guard entered the chambers and a confused look formed on his face at the cell door pushing open without being unlocked. A smile grew on the lalafell's face when he took in the man. Tall, a sickly shade of green and knuckles that were practically raw. This was the roe that took pride in pummeling his face in.

"What's goin' on in 'ere!?" He immediately went on guard pulling a blade from his waist, but only a little too slow.

He moved his hands swiftly in a series of positions and when the last gesture was made a strong gust of icy wind exited his lungs turning the guard into a giant frozen statue. Xi took a few steps forward from his hiding spot and watched as the roegadyn's eyes barely followed his movement. Taking the sword from his frozen hand, causing the ice to weaken and crack, he grinned and the split on his lip stung and tore open forming a new trail of blood that he let his tongue clean up.

"I promised myself I would kill you first."

Stabbing through the ice a long crack formed that sent the ice breaking to pieces and the man falling to the ground without so much as a final breath. Xi climbed over the mountain of a now fresh corpse and began going through his person. His daggers, smoke bombs, and some of Illandria's grenades but their knives and gun were nowhere to be found. Still it was more than he could have hoped for as he began handing her things.

Tucking his items back into his clothing, he stood up and walked over to the cell door and held it open for her with an informal bow. "Shall we?"
