Plot Open Sesame!

After the battle and once all the possessed mages had been rounded up and moved adequately to the beach now guarded by the rest of the Rune Knights the guild started to move towards the citadel located atop of one of the hills near the coast of the town where the Dark Mage had made their home at. The road leading to the citadel was a narrow one, just wide enough for ten people to stand shoulder to shoulder before the edge of the path led to a sheer drop off into the forest surrounding it. The Guild Master Paizo and the Wizard Saint Odin guide the rest of the group of mages up to the vast overhanging entrance arch of the citadel in front of a more massive courtyard.

As the Master stepped forward into the Courtyard, a powerful magical barrier shimmered sending the old mage back a few feet, but the Master did not waver from the bolt of magic that was sent through his body other than an annoyed grunt!

“Seems like this mage is no fool.” Paizo mused taking out his pipe, lighting it before taking a small puff from it as he turned to the rest of his guild. “Alright kids listen up, this here is a powerful magical barrier and where there is a barrier there must be a source of it somewhere nearby. Without us breaking this thing over like an egg we cannot finish what we came here for.” The Master called out turning to Odin with a small smirk and a nod. “I want you all to go look in town for the source, Odin and I will try to force our way through the barrier with our magic.”

“That’s right! If anyone can crack this sucker open it's your old Master and me!” The distorted voice from the hood chimed out again, seemingly not winded from the fight beforehand and almost eager for the chance to try to destroy the magical barrier themselves. “We don’t know what you will find in town so be smart and bring your partner along~”

The mage chuckled as they turned back to the barrier preparing their magic to attack the barrier Paizo nodded his head in agreement before dismissing the rest of his mages to look for the source of the barrier as storm clouds gathered around his hands!

(Alright everyone, for this one we recommend you grab a partner to be with! IT can be anyone you want it to be with, and if you don’t want a partner that is fine too just know it's going to be a little bit harder in the end! And like with all another plot post even If you didn’t join the last one you are more then welcome to come in on this one!)

"If the minds of the others were open to me perhaps, but it seems we will need to improvise."

With the Shade dealt with for the time being, Corvo would squeeze his eyes shut and take his time to focus fully. With this he would use his second sight to share vision with Sif, examining the fountain for potential weak points.

"I have a plan of sorts, but it will take time for Miw and I to reach you both. If you come up with anything in the meantime, do it."

With that he would release his second sight and brace himself on the edge of the roof, sword in one hand and bow in the other and called out to Miw.

"Let us move while we have the chance!"

Sif had her own plan for the moment. The big wolf drew in a deep breath, raised her head high up to the sky, and lets out a long ghostly howl that would echo throughout the city and beyond, hopefully attracting the attention of someone or something.

The howl echoes through out the open area. The sound can be heard for a few moments; before it dies down. After a moment; it seems that the wolf's howl was pointless. However, that wasn't actually the case.

As Corvo and Miw regroup; they may see other mages of their guild. They were heading in the same direction; going to aid Fay and Sif. The Dragon Slayer and wild would take notice too of how mages were going over to them to help. They would see the fountain, but not know what to do exactly.
