Party summon: Mag/Sabina/Flynn/Kiernan/Rhys
It didn't sit well with Mag to be standing still, talking, while others were still fending off the guardian's minions. She hoped the conversation would lead the guardian to call off the offensive, so that no one else would be injured.
"The sickness has spread all over the city," Mag shouted over the din of battle around them. "There are hundreds, maybe thousands, who need help."
Her grip on the shotgun tightened as she remembered the disoriented look on Aspel's face the day before departure, how the healer had all but told her the only thing that could be done was alleviate Aspel's symptoms to take away the pain, until the illness squeezed the life out of her.
Mag took up a defensive stance and waited. If they had to talk, then they would talk. But whatever happened, there was no way she was letting her best friend die.
