[The feed opens to Elliott outside one of the portals]

H-hey so, the temple is empty!

[He glances back over his shoulder like he might be able to see the temple through the portal if he tries]

...Or it was a few minutes ago anyway, but I think this is the best chance we're going to get. We can end this corruption if someone else with a full set of stones comes with me to the altar.

And uh, maybe a few other people just in case? It's a little wild over there right now.

That might be best. Don't wanna piss them off and make them stomp on your hard work.

[bearshermark]

Yeah no, the situation is too serious for something like that now.

[hardtoignore]

Welp, I can't help pray at all really but I'll be there for emotional support. Mental support? Can't really count on me getting physical with anyone.

[bearshermark]

Hey, that works. Happy for all the help I can get.

[hardtoignore]

Sure thing.

Imma grab some sandwiches and meet you there. I know we could probably eat in the market just fine after setting the stones, but if something weird happens we might want to have a backup supply just in case.

[Like if this turned out to be like a video game and they triggered some trap that got them locked inside the temple or something.]

[bearshermark]

Alright. Guess it could take longer than expected, too. I'm waiting for a few people so hopefully we can all go together.

[hardtoignore]

Sounds good. If we have a bigger team there's more of us to... I guess fight back if we end up having to do something like that.

[bearshermark]

Yeah. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, but this is too important. We can't let anyone interfere, even if we have to forcefully keep everyone else out of the temple. Things should calm down when it's done.

[hardtoignore]

Yeesh. Then I hope someone with some muscle comes with us because I'm not the type to hold people back. I'd just get picked up and carried away.

Think you just having a sword could help scare some off if they try to crash?

[bearshermark]

It's been helping lately. I'm just afraid someone's going to call my bluff. I know how use it, but I don't want to actually hurt people, so.. Hoping for a few intimidating types myself, yeah.

[hardtoignore]

Maybe I could make my magic flash in my hands? It might scare some people away?

[bearshermark]

The corruption is supposed to be rooted in fear,
so maybe, if we have to. I could draw my sword, too.

But we'll worry about that only if it comes to it. Hopefully it doesn't.

[hardtoignore]

... Fear can make people do some crazy things.

But fair enough. You let me know if anything changes, but I'm going to get ready and head out.

[bearshermark]

Okay, will do. I'll see you there.
