“To slay multiple Demonic Beasts in such short order…you’re an impressive one, Witch.” Phaedo says. The same smug look of satisfaction is on his face. His right hand holds his large battle axe, while the left glows with fell magic. “You have my heartfelt thanks for finally ridding me of that fool Diogenes. But unfortunately, I cannot return to Shambhala empty-handed. If I wish to receive a warm welcome, I will require your head, as well as the research you pilfered from the depths of Ordelia’s castle.”
>“What-?” When did he get here. This was bad. You were severely hurt, and in desperate need of healing. There was no way you’d stand a chance against an Agarthan Talon in your current state.“Did you think I would not notice?” Phaedo says, drawing closer. “Just what did you intend to do with the knowledge of Blood Reconstruction? Did you fancy gaining a Crest yourself? If it was power you sought, all you had to do was ask, and we’d have been more than happy to oblige.”
>“Better that knowledge lay in my hands than fiends such as yourself.”Phaedo barks a harsh laugh. “And who are you, Blair d’Rusalka? If you’re so noble, why not simply destroy the book rather than hoard its secrets? Is it perhaps because you’re as power-hungry and covetous as the rest of your foul kind? I will ask you only once. Reveal the location of Diogenes’ tome. Do so and I promise I will kill you swiftly. Delay or attempt to fight back, and I will torture you and your friends beyond your wildest imaginations. I’ve already killed several of your kind, ‘Blackwing’. I’d be more than happy to root out the rest of you.” He raises his axe, now only a few inches away from your neck. Diana and Shelley are on edge but will likely be unable to assist you here before you’re attacked.
Sudden movement from over Phaedo’s shoulder catches your attention, but you do your best not to arouse suspicion. A pegasus is heading straight for you. Ingrid? Or Anemone, perhaps. Whoever it is, in your current state, it is a small glimmer of hope.
>A): Make a surprise attack on Phaedo (SPD Roll: 1-41 to Succeed)>B): Bluff and reveal the location of Diogenes’ tome (LCK + CHA Roll: 1-54 to Succeed)>C): Forseti would make you invulnerable to his attack, while dealing huge damage. Now’s as good a time as any to use it.
