Shaya looks unamused after a moment. "One, I can smell a falsehood from a mile away. Two, Aquiras never wears black. WHo are you?"
(Sorry, Ty. :3) |

The doppelganger sighs. "Really? The clothing change? I suppose I had a bit too much flair." He chuckles mischievously. "After all, what is a priest without his sins? Vanity, definitely my favorite sin."
(Twenty points to whomever finds the reference.) |

(Nada.)
Shaya snarls and he's enclosed in a tomb of sand. "Start talking, who are you?" |

(Btw, this is now a test of wills. If Shaya wins, Etnadi stays trapped. If Etnadi wins, he goes free.) |

The false Aquiras shifts slightly in the sand, and he smiles. "All you need to know is that I am not currently your enemy. You have a much bigger dilemma down there, if I am not mistaken." The soldiers can be seen through the dissipating sandstorm. |

((Can I just start getting my footmen into the gates?)) |

Braunz lands beside Shaya. "He does not lie. The Artisan sends his regards. Would his health had permitted it, he would be present himself." |

Shaya turns and sends more fire through the storm, preferably turning it to glass. To Braunz, she says, "I don't think I know you." |
|
|
((Yup)) As Ithil approaches the gates there is a great creaking as a ramp rises to give them a path into the city. The walls have risen several critical feet. With a echoing sound the shield- a barely shimmering barrier that is bound by the runes carved deep into the foundations- opens to allow them access like a curtain parting. "Hurry in. It's a pain to hold the shield open." The Peasant knight snaps. |
|
|
"Probably because three of us are supposed to be dead." He chuckles. "Anyways. Consider me and my sister the most elite soldiers the Artisan can offer. We just got back from rescuing hostages from the Empress minutes ago. Sorry, we would've been here earlier, but we had to talk sense into the little admiral. I thought he was gonna kill her." |
|
|
"Now, then, if you're done with the niceties..." the doppelganger complains. |

Shaya lets down the sand tomb and tilts her head at Braunz. "Alright, I'll play. Thanks for the help, then." |

Aloeseth nods and issues a quiet command to his officers. The host begins moving in. |
|
|
"The Admiral advises we consider the Drow the Enemy. The empress attempted to black mail him into killing either you, or the occupants of Highborn of Valdemar." He states, before leaping into the fray. |

Shaya blinks and looks to H'drasnian. "See, THIS is what I need to know of." |
|
|
"I have not had fair espionage connections for a long while," the Grain responds. "Besides, we seem to be fairing well on the battlefield. I doubt that the Drow truly wish to assault us. They are allied with Valdemar; we are in the same burning basket." |

She grimaces. "That's Illusi out there."
(If it's not, ignore that post and lemme know.) |

"He's rather annoying," not-Aquiras chimes in. "Always going on about his vengeance. He would make a great one of us Saoritin." |

"You're no Saoritin," she growls. "You're a traitor." |
|
|
"About time you guessed who I am," the facsimile replies with a chuckle. "Long time, no see, Your Holiness." |

"Why are you even here?!" she demands. |
|
|
"Because I was roped into it!" He forms a chair of sand in which to relax. "I was dead, for all intents and purposes! Dead as your mother! I was blown to smithereens! But magic is a funny thing. With the way Aquiras destroyed me, there was a sort of residue left behind, and to think that Elaug was shaking everything out of his coat, just throwing away the gems that he used to contain magic! Those crystals attracted me, fed me, stored my very essence, and I found myself able to think coherently once more. Am I really Etnadi? Well, I like to think so, and, for all intents and purposes, I most certainly am!" He makes a flourish with his arms. "And Aquiras, being his annoying and adorable and infuriating self, got me to fight again, but this time on his side. I don't have all that much of a choice, but..." The mage grins maliciously. "We'll see what happens once the battle has transpired." |

((Wasn't Terus going to fight in the city with the footmen? I forgot...)) |
|
|
(Mhm.)
Terus marches with them, still wearing the long cloak over the multiple weapons on his person. |

Shaya purses her lips. "Well d'arvit, Aquiras, you're smart."
To the dead mother comment, her eye only twitches slightly. |
