@HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini -- fell onto what had, up until just a few seconds ago, been Jericho Cauldwin, and he scowled at the mess.

"We need to withdraw. /Now!/"

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini -- up. Damn you, Nakir!"

Well, someone certainly had jumped to a conclusion.
Upon rising back to his feet, the male hieropaladin's gaze --

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini -- one of them being the attackers primary target.
And when the dust settled, it was clear he'd lucked out.

"...And one finally shows --

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini The moment Astaroth had realized what was happening, he'd immediately taken a dive away from the rest of the party, gambling on one --

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@WrathfulPaladin @HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini -- but now all of a sudden he'd donned a worried expression.

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@WrathfulPaladin @HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini -- road ahead for some time, before coming to an abrupt stop.

The look on his face had barely changed while being scolded by Marta, --

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@WrathfulPaladin @HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini "As you wish. I shall not mention the matter again."

After dropping the inquiry as ordered, Astaroth returned his attention to the --

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

"Ironic, is it not?

...Perhaps I've said too much."

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

"But one of these abstract concepts certainly seems to be preferred... People flock to the illusion of order not unlike moths to a flame."

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

"And yet, in the void of anything else, that is all it takes."

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

"Order and chaos, such arbitrary concepts devised by humanity..."

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@WrathfulPaladin @HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini -- legitimate one, that is extremely valuable information..."

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@WrathfulPaladin @HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini -- this not put forward before we departed?"

A skeptical glance was cast in Valerian's direction.

"If, by chance, your find is a --

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@WrathfulPaladin @HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini Alas, such a witty jab would probably not be reaching the socially-challenged Hieropaladin's ears for the foreseeable future.

"Why was --

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@WrathfulPaladin @HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini -- to be in any sort of danger.
After all, he hadn't detected any magic with that odd sixth sense of his...yet.

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@WrathfulPaladin @HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini "Considering I only just arrived, I have nothing to report."

Contrary to Jericho, Astaroth seemed at ease, currently not believing them --

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@WrathfulPaladin @HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini -- that was already holstered at his side being all he intended to bring along, also swiftly made his way out the door.

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@WrathfulPaladin @HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini "Indeed... Let us avoid a repeat of your last 'victory,' shall we?"

Astaroth finally peeled his eyes off the map, and with his sword --

[Astaroth @FalsusAngelus]

@WrathfulPaladin @HisWillHisName @Sanctuspaladini Astaroth opted to remain silent, for he had no questions to ask nor anything further to add.
So instead, he continued surveying the map.
