[IRP] Beginnings of Change

Shad just glanced at Paige. He would like to say it was surprising, but she was the one who spoke up to that imbecile the day they first met. Even if Shad had a terrible idea, at least he likes to bounce that idea off of people to get input. Wolfram and Marcus were usually good at that, Kalin, not so much. But he never thought his idea would be countered with an even worse idea.

He didn't acknowledge Ambrose's order to run. He tried to take out his magic tome when a figure grabbed his arm from behind him. He turned his head to see a single golden eye staring back at him. He then noticed the silver hair covering the other one. Cassandra. She pulled at him, mouthing at him to run, to which Shad relented. As he figured, Shad was much faster than the men pursuing them, even his own comrades-in-arms. Only Cassandra kept up with him. The duo turned around to lend aid.

With Shad far enough away that they couldn't see his face at all, he took the tome into his hands and began a proper casting. He then shoot a single fireball in Ambrose's general direction, hoping he could use the distraction to their advantage.

"We have three of them chasing us. For some reason, the third isn't using a light spell. That might make it easier for him to sneak up on us," Cassandra relayed. "Hopefully that spell doesn't go to far either. Those three shouldn't make it back out, but it will be unmanageable if the whole of them turn their blades to us."

"Its fine Cassie. At least, it should be fine."
