For a second, Irhya's eyes go wide, as if appalled at the concept. She's never used a sword in her life, much less a sword that large... right?
But Camilla is quick to drop it, so she doesn't follow up. Instead, she continues as she drags her down the stairs from the banquet hall. "We'd suspected conspiracy among the Crystal Braves for a long time, but to think it had run this deeply..." A shake of her head, and then, "They planted the vial in a way they knew I wouldn't be able to resist picking up, and then had her poisoned. I watched her die right in front of me!"
Rounding a corner causes them to run into Thancred, who is quick to apprise them of his findings from a different angle. Not only has this plan been in motion for a fair number of moons now, but the Brass Blades have put every way out of Ul'dah under tight watch. Where they go will hardly matter if they cannot get out at all...
"Papashan once told me about the passages hidden in the walls of the palace. If I recall correctly, the fireplace in Nanamo's chambers conceals the entrance to a tunnel..."
A group comprised of Crystal Braves and Brass Blades appears from the stairwell to the strip below, making their way around the circular path. Yda steps forward.
"The rest of you go ahead. I'll handle this lot!"
Not one to allow her to stand alone in a crisis, Papalymo insists on joining her -- only to shoot a fire spell at the gate separating them, forcing it closed.
And thus does Irhya's gut begin to sink as the sound of boots against flooring rattles in the distance.
