Hammett stops his search. Frustrated, he turn to Lorelei speaking loudly over the din of battle, "It is like there are multiple Dorian's throughout the fog. I can't locate the real one. I think we will just have to fight and kill our way through this, until there are no more enemies left standing, or this damn fog lifts."
With that he takes a moment to catch his breath and center himself, then, making sure Lorelei stays close, he gets to work ending the battle one foe at a time.

Brian:
The battle doesn't provide enough distraction to the two others in this tug-of-war so Brian continues to wrestle with them for control of the chest.

#s://i~ibb~co/gymQ9Gp/Dalt~png Dio:"Au contraire, mademoiselle, you all have been providing an enjoyable performance for the audience. But maybe it is time for this to end, non?"The silhouette man nods in agreement. ALifhting on the edge of the hole, Dio feels a frisson from the artificial shadow boundary between the cavern and the mountainside beyond. Snow swirls about her, and she sees the burly, blonde-haired man climbing the cliff up towards her, only a few arm lengths below her. "You wouldn't happen to have an end of a rope to toss down?" he calls to her.

Hammett and Lorelei:
Fighting demons. Pushing through the fog. Slipping on demonic viscera.
They come across Dio's General in a duel with a nun, of all things. Both are covered in blood, but they are also are shapeshifters and have healed some of the lesser injuries. Around them is a ring of dead demons who foolishly ventured into their private party.
A second nun stands at the periphery of the battle area.
"Do not interfere in this sacred combat," she calls to Hamm and Lor with her arms raised over her head.
"'Hell with that," the General says. "Help me drop the penguins then we can finish Vada together."

"You wouldn't happen to have an end of a rope to toss down?" he calls to her. Looking down at the blonde haired man she tilta her head. Not having an idea who she should of shouldn't help. But it seemed Hammett knew this guy. And Hammett had been so far more forthcoming with her then mother superior and the general. She shrugs lightly. Since she does wear her dress still that she wore in the convent she unties the rope around her waist which gathers the one size fits all robe like dress. Coiling a bit around her wrist she lowers it down. Her wings folded thightly against her back and her other hand forming a claw to have enough grip to help the man up on the mountain side. She just looks at the man without a word nodding to the end of rope towards him.

Dio:
The man nods in thanks then wraps the end of rope around his wrist and uses it to help him climb. Dio staggers at the weight and strength of the man as he pulls. She does notice that he keeps one hand on the rocks, not fully trusting her to keep hold of her end of the rope.

She does notice that he keeps one hand on the rocks, not fully trusting her to keep hold of her end of the rope. Growing her free hand, that has hold of the mountainside, to a larger claw, longer nails imbedding in the rocks. She focusses on her grip of the rope. If she feels to much of a pull down she will use her wings to function as sails, spreading them slightly to have the wind press her towards the mountain side. When the man climbs further up and she would not have to shout as loud to be heard by him she asks in a strained and hessitant tone. "You are not going to hurt me when you reached me and have footing again right? I do not know who you are and if i can trust you."

"Help me drop the penguins then we can finish Vada together." " Vada is already dead," Lorelei answers. " She was beheaded several minutes ago, over there," she points into the mist. That was not necessarily the entire truth. While the 'Coat Rack' spell holds, there is a chance she can be restored... death cannot take Vada until time resumes its flow within her. .

Lorelei and Hammett:
"Dead?" the general asks. But that's all he manages to say as the news distracts him enough that the Mother Superior reaches through his defences with her sword and chops his head off. The gory orb lands in Lorelei's hand.
"You two have led my acolyte Dionisia astray from the righteous and moral path. You will be severely punished. Your assistance in eliminating this vermin will ease some of your coming pains. Take me to Dionisia and gain further clemency for your crimes." she says to them.
The other nun uncoils her whip.

Brian:The battle doesn't provide enough distraction to the two others in this tug-of-war so Brian continues to wrestle with them for control of the chest. While tugging I ask the invisible force. "And what do you have to offer me that I should give up in your favor?"

Hammett stands ready if they attack, but takes the time to answer, "I have no idea who this Dionisia is, but if it is that young lady who I met on the mountainside, I neither led her astray nor do I know where she is at this moment. But I hope she took the opportunity of this fog and confusion to fly far away from here and all this madness."

Lorelei tilts her head slightly, her well-gripped sword held in a non-threatening pose.
Speaking to Hammett without taking her eyes off the nuns, she says, "I think they are referring to the girl that followed us up the mountain with this one, but didn't attack you from behind..."
To the nuns she says, "Threatening members of the royal families which guard the True Patterns is often considered... unwise..." .

#s://i~ibb~co/gymQ9Gp/Dalt~png Dio:"Hurt you? After you just saved me from the worst part of the climb?"He gets one massive hand over the ledge near Dionisia's feet. "And you aren't going to stop on my hands as I pull myself over, are you? I mean, I do not know who you are or if I can trust you." he says with a wink at her. DIo notices that the fog seems to be dissipating from the area. That horse still bellows in pain.

"And you aren't going to stop on my hands as I pull myself over, are you? I mean, I do not know who you are or if I can trust you." he says with a wink at her. Being very busy holding the rope. Holding herself steady and fighting a now no more tied up robe she looks at him. "Stranger things have happened. And worse things as well. "She thinks back at the nuns and the one with the whip who had been told to make sure Dio her repentance would be fullfilled. Shaking her head back to attention she looks at the man and hears his words. When he winks she nods "This snow is vicious on the eyes i know." She then smiles light. " I would not stand on your hand nor push you back off. I saw you react to Sir Hammert and he was so far decent to me. I was actually looking for an escape for everyone." When the man has steady ground she bows her head slightly. "I am Dionisia, a mere novitiate. "

Brian:
The invisible entity either declines to answer or is unable to.
Brian's raven, which of course, has been screaming its' warnings since he entered this place, now shrieks at a much higher pitch in his mind.
"Don't be a fool, man. To let this fall into the hands of Ol' Briquette would mean the death of all of us!" the bearded man wheezes. He seems to be running out of strength.
