"We can always go on a holiday to Shiv when this is over." joked Zahira, her ancestral homeland was just as hostile as this place, just in a different way.
(apologies for the ooc only post but with GigaGuess stepping down we need a moderator to pick this quest back up. Can someone do so?)

Jenika says just loud enough for the others to hear as she points at a group of small reddish figures, just barely visible coming towards them at a quicken pace.
"Trouble...get ready." Wynn knew it wouldn't be this easy...it never was. still...red mana users in this climate? they'd either be very brave, or very stupid. Regardless, they would need to be powerful to survive here.
The three of them would need to be just as powerful.

Zahira is quick to turn to the subjects of Jenika's alarm. Squinting her eyes against the sharp wind and bright background of snow, she tries to determine the name and nature of the advancing creatures, and to discern their intentions, drawing upon the teachings of the man she now so vividly remembers to do so.
ooc: Do you want me to roll anything? Zahira has a broad knowledge regarding all types of flora and fauna, due to her education by a master wizard during her childhood.
As the groups get closer the Mages can see that they are coming up on about six of them covered in furs with weapons drawn. The creatures seem to not even notice the Mages as they near each other; their attention is seeming locked onto something else. Soon a group of white rabbits dash past the Mages. As the rabbits pass the red creatures stop and look up at the Mages. A look of confusion crosses their faces for a moment and they lower their weapons. One cocks his head to the side and roars prompting the other to do the same.
OOC: One turn to prepare for battle, then the Goblins attack.
"If you can get rid of them easily, that's fine. otherwise prepare some quick spells, I'll be able to use some tricks of my own." Wynn barked orders to the other two mages. Despite not being the one officially in charge, she knew what it was like to deal with goblins. they never stopped coming. So the best chance they had was to wipe the whole batch out in one fell swoop.

Zahira did not feel strong with snow under her feet, and so she thought back to her homeland, the rolling plains of Benalia, and its power and majesty was soon in her veins. She realized the best way to go was to hold off the goblins, and confuse them if possible. "Let me hold them off for a moment, then strike." she spoke in a clear tone, a command as much as Wynn's words were. "... Unless they don't break the law of course, but they probably will, knowing goblins." It was as much a joke as a lesson, for an Azorius that did not abide the law wasn't an Azorius, that meant as much as 'let them strike first'.
I think that attacking us will count as them breaking the law well enough!
Jenika says as she gathers Mana to her side in the form of a small blue orb and draws her weapon. She waves he hand dismissively at one of the Goblins and it vanishes from sight.

A burst of blinding radiance suddenly emanates from Zahira, leaving the goblins momentarily dazed, and unable to advance upon the three mages any further.
"If you can hold them off a little longer, I'll be able to dispose of them!" Wynn channels more mana into her necklace, the signet pendant glowing with energy.

Zahira nodded to Wynn, and, remembering the magnificent keep that was once her mentor's home, she called upon its might. "Well, they've had their warning." she said with a slim smile upon her face.

The three Goblins shake off the effects of Zahira's spell. They look around and see that they have lost two more and growl angrily. They rasie their weapons and attack once again.
"And now they all fall." Wynn has a glimmer in her eye as the harsh winter becomes enveloped in light, javelins of holy light impaling the remaining goblins.
She wasn't willing to release her mana yet, but for the moment...the trio was safe.
Play a plains, 3 sunlance, one on each of the goblins.

As the Goblins shake off the effects of Zahira's spell again they find themselves with a spear of light through their bodies. They briefly and frantically attempt to pull the spears loose before succumbing to the damage.
Jenika holds onto her Mana for a few tense moments.
Wynn carefully scans the area. she doesn't want to miss anything, although the sunlight and the snow don't make it easy.

Wynn spots a snowdrift with eyes. They don't move or blink, they simply stare directly at her. It is only a few feet away, within striking distance if it is something hostile.
"Hold...something's here. But..." The girl squints her eyes. "I can't make out exactly what. Be ready for anything, but let's see if we can skirt around it."
While it would likely be much easier for the three of them to dispose of whatever was watching them...there was little need. Patience was something that a Senator needed to hold very dear to her heart, and in this case, it meant not doing anything to the watching beast unless it did something to them first. In the spirit of that, Wynn starts walking around the pair of eyes in a noticably wide arc. They were trespassing on its territory - no sense trying to enrage it more.

Zahira trusted in Wynn's judgment of the situation, and followed her carefully. She did her best keeping control of the tide of mana at her disposal, as they might need it very soon indeed.
ooc: How long can we remain in control of our mana sources?
Jenika follows suite behind Zahira. After they are clear they continue to proceed towards the Fortress. They soon arrive at the entrance. A large frozen door bars their path. A large rings handle is their only means of opening it.
Wynn smiles as they stand in front of the giant fortress. "Now...Jenika, I'm going to ask you about what we just encountered. Do you know why I decided not to engage the thing that I just saw? Between the three of us we surely would not have had much difficulty. Think, and tell me why."
While the auramancer is pondering that, Wynn will take a gloved hand and rest it on the palace wall, concentrating. If this was a bastion of mana...she would have to connect with it.
