Faust gladly receives the news with a smile. The extra scrolls are bound to come in handy. He grew concerned as Athy tells them Kira still hasn't arrived. Hope she hasn't gotten herself into trouble.
After what seems like a very long time Faust puts down his plate and leans back on his chair. I don't think I can eat another bite.
He looks around for the thrull. Maybe the sisters are ready to leave.
Faust greedily plunges himself into the feast, tearing chunks of bread with his hands, sinking his teeth into sweet, sweet pies and feeling the delicious jam inside melting in his mouth. Better lap up luxury while I can.
He soon became aware of Xiras apologising to him. It should be me who's apologising to you. He says between bites. If I hadn't fallen asleep he wouldn't have gotten such a head start on us. You did what you can. Hopefully things will go smoothly in Morsera, and if they don't, then I just hope we are up to the challenge.
Faust follows quietly behind, mind already on the upcoming confrontation. He was sure Neld wouldn't just let them in peacefully. Looks like a fight is bound to happen.
Resting a while would be nice.
He was still a bit sore from the wounds he received from the clerics. I'm sure we will need all we've got if we're going to confront Neld.
Faust sighs, empathising with Athy. He too had discovered he was able to draw from the mana of the swamps, and his journeys have shown him that people constantly misunderstood his magic. Many have shunned him and chased him out, believing him to be evil. Just because he used dark magic does not mean he was evil.
He continued listening to Athy's tale. Raised in a community of white mana users and shunned for developing the ability to weild black mana. If my people had lived then maybe my story might be similar to hers.
He shook his head, wanting to believe that his village would have been more understanding than Athy's. From what I've seen our magic does not define whether we are good or evil, deserving of death or life. It is our actions that define this. You, weilder of the Mana of Death, has rebuild a town. Him, weilder of the Mana of Life, has sent an assassin to try and kill you and your sisters.
Once again he shook his head. People were complicated. Chances are he will send another paladin to try and kill you when he discovers this one is dead. I think we must bargain with him, but we should go together, not alone.
A drink would be nice.
Apparently Kira needed a few moments to herself. Faust felt his curiosity rise, wanting to find out who this Neld is. He was also looking forward to that brandy.
Whoever this Neld is, it was obvious that the Ladies knew him, and probably knew him pretty well. He only twitched slightly, and felt a slight twinge of remorse as Athy cleanly slits the paladins throat, looking undisturbed by it as if she was used to doing it everyday, which she may very well do. He's beginning to realise that the Orhov isn't a very innocent organisation. As the man's body was taken he does what Athy asked them to do, stepping quietly outside, giving the sisters a moment to themselves.
Faust snatches the sword out of the air and follows Xiras, Athy and Kira, keeping a close eye on the paladin. He had to admit, he was curious as to who would pay the mage to destroy the farms.
Faust stares straight into the charging clerics, determined not to show his pain, when suddenly he found his attackers vanishing.
Turning around he found two familiar faces. We were just bait all along?
He wasn't sure how to feel about that, after all they did just save his life, but the ladies had just been using him and Xiras as their pawn.
Shaking his head he cleared his thoughts. He still had a fight to complete.
Adding more creatures of the swamps to defend him, he sends the two specters previously summoned to claw at the man and rip apart his mind.

Faust eyes widen as he sees the sudden onslaught of clerics, all empowered by a mystic glow and all rushing straight towards him. I made a mistake...
He couldn't do anything but watch his demise approach, like a deer caught in headlights, unable to move, unable to blink.
Xiras voice shakes him out of his terror. The wizard was willing to intercept the creatures to save him. He had to do his best to save himself, so that they both will survive for another round, hopefully time enough to beat this mage.
He orders one of his creatures to block the biggest cleric, hoping that he was able to stand the others attack and remain conscious, at least until the white wizard was defeated.
Seeing the two lantern ones disappear, Faust conjures another swamp into existence, then taps into the swamps well of energy and launches a blast of darkness that buries itself into one of the clerics, instantly draining its soul. As long as you've got spells to keep that big one away for a while, I think we can pull this off.

Faust couldn't do anything but stand and watch the coming onslaught. This is gonna hurt.
He calls to his companion. Don't worry about the lantern clerics, just see if you can get rid of one of those staff ones. Then I can take care of the other.

He turns to Xiras.
And I would be glad if you came too. I'm sure we would need your skills.
