The sounds of murmuring Came from further in the hall.

"If we attack the Summit at night this time, Maybe we can catch them off guard in the ambush." A feminine voice said.

"Why are you being so cautious?" a gruff voice responded. "Just send more people. Those lousy humans won't be able to last the onslaught."

"You said the same thing when we sent Sumgrah!" The female voice responded. "'Just send in hundreds of specters' you said. 'They will all die before they can respond and we will send a message.'

"Stop pretending like you care for those lives!" The second voice yelled back "You wouldn't even bat an eye if they all died on the spot!" As the party came up to the door, traris kicked a pebble in front of the door on accident.

"Stop." The feminine voice said. " What was that?" Walking over to the door she saw the party crouching in stealth. The voice belonged to a tiefling woman with crimson skin. "Intruders!" With that word, she began casting a spell. Traris knowing that this could be bad quickly tried to cast a counterspell. Unfortunately, Traris was just ever so slower than the Tiefling. and the Tiefling cast Cone of Cold. Sending everyone into a blasting cold. Traris already knowing what was happening was able to leave the spell influence before it even was cast. The others were not so lucky. The Cold blasted all of them, making them feel weaker.

Mag was So Cold that she could hardly focus on her emotions. But she was able to channel Her anger to the cold into herself gaining renewed strength. Running over to Fenn who Looked the worst, She used her healing powers to help him

Traris went to summon his shadow blade only for it to be counterspell by the tiefling. Angry he went to attack her with his Electric sword. slashing her right in the chest. while she was surprised he took a strike with his dagger and followed up with another slash from his sword.

Fenn was not looking great. Thankfully, Mag had pulled him away from anything dangerous. But he was not out of the woods yet. Looking toward the Tiefling, Fenn moved so that he could see both the tiefling and the other person in the room.

"There is a demon still inside the room!" Fenn shouted as he attacked the Tiefling with his sword. As he struck her, Fenn shared her pain and pushed it toward the demon.

Luca ran fourth, passing the mage, and into the room. Seeing the demon, Luca readied her weapon and stuck forth. Before Luca struck the demon she circulated the energy inside herself, healing some of her wounds. The resulting slashes cut very deeply into the demon, but it still stood.

"Langual!" The Demon cried! "What's going on!"

"I don't know you numbs-skull! The Tiefling, 'Langual', said. "Just kill them!"

The demon, covered in sharp points, faced Luca and slashed her with its tail and claws. but Luca's armor protected her from most of it.

Langual Looked at the people in front of her. She was surrounded. So, Langual started to cast a spell. Knowing it would not be good if Langual cast a spell, Traris once again tried to counterspell it. only once more failing to get there in time by only fractions of a second. As the spell took hold, Langual turned invisible.

"She's invisible!" Traris shouted stepping away from where she was.

"Gahhhhh!" Mag growled in frustration. She gave Fenn some more healing before getting up. Turning to the demon Mag could still see, she ran over to it and attacked. Mag hit the demon right in the shoulder, but the weapon only got lodged.

"Fenn!" Traris shouted. "I have a plan!"

"What!" Fenn shouted back taking a defensive stance.

"It will only work once so listen carefully, I need you to send us in darkness!" Traris said, preparing to cast a spell.

"Are you crazy!" Fenn said surprised. "You won't be able to see anything either!"

"Just do it!" Fenn yelled back trying to find any indication of the invisible woman.

Grumbling, Fenn quickly cast Darkness. As the spell finished, a black darker than void, rushed from his fingers, PLunging both Him and Traris into darkness.

Traris ran to where he thought Fenn was. Once he reached his friend, Traris turned around and cast Fireball in the area where he was original. As the magic left Traris's hand and he didn't see anything, Traris had thought, his spell was countered. But, after a moment, a Terrified screech filled the room, and Traris was hit, by a wave of Heat.

"Languel!" The demon growled. Both he and Luca could see through the darkness. What they saw was a speck of light where Traris once stood rapidly expanding. As it crossed a certain point a dent in the fireball appeared. followed shortly by a blood-curdling scream. Languel's invisibility dispelled and the two people watched as her body hit the floor. After hearing the screen, Fenn let go of his, spell, seeing a charred body on the floor.

"Luca focused back on the demon in front of her. Focusing in, She slashed at the demon with ferocity.

The Devil was furious. These humans dared to come into their territory and kill his people. They would not survive it thought, sending its tail right into Luca's chest. Luca staggered, Coffing some blood.

Mag grabbed the tail that pierced Luca and pulled it out, forcefully. Luca screamed in pain but Mag brought her arms in and closed the wound temporarily. raising her axe, Mag Slammed it into the Devil. the creature staggered, It was barely standing at this point.

Fenn Dashed in, Poised to finally finish this fowl creature off. With a Savage Yell, Fenn Brought his hands down on the devil, Splitting it right in two.

Seeing that everything was over, everyone collapsed. Breathing heavily, the party was just glad that they were alive. After almost 5 minutes of just breathing in and out, Traris finally got up.

"That was the Scariest fight I have ever been in," Traris said laughing.

"You're right," Luca said, still lying on the floor. "That mage and this demon took a real number on me."

"Hmmm." Mag hummed thoughtfully. "I have been in many fights," Mag said. "But fighting a spell caster is not a good place to be in." Mag agreed.

"In any case," Fenn said. "Our work is not done." Fenn got up, shaking any remaining cold off himself. "We need to find more documents and Info for the Queen." Fenn started walking around the room. "Maybe we can find something useful in this room?"

After some time searching, Traris found a book that Fenn was able to find documents and maps of the castle of Fenleman. The maps were very detailed, showing many secret passages that even Traris didn't know about. The documents detailed guard schedules, and even the Queen's regular habits!

"There can be no way that these cultists, gathered all this information from just that invisible stalker," Luca said.

"Your right..." Fenn said grimly.

"That means..." Traris said, trying to process this.

"... We have a traitor in the castle." Mag finished, her jaw set.
