Viaduct Courtyard

Sally is looking around the courtyard, "Sarah?!"

The next place Eugene sought Sarah was in the various courtyards as she didn't appear to be anywhere in the castle. He was amazed by his own fortitude as the wounds he received had not hindered his efforts in the slightest.

"I can't see her anywhere..."

"Sally, what are you doing out here?" He thought she had entrusted the task to him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Eugene, I'm just worried about her.  There's a man stalking her..."

"Yes I suppose parental instincts wouldn't permit you to leave the matter alone..."

Sally shakes her head, "Of course not!"

"Is there any place you have yet to look?"

Sally lists some places.

"I see," their list were exactly the same, leaving only one valuable option, "the grounds are left."

"Then let's go!"

The inventor could hardly describe the euphoric moment of reaching 'Eureka!'. It was pushing against a hard steel gate, until it eventually burst open to reveal an endless vault of gold. 

Now Artisan had all his plans to fix his ancestral home and even improve it for generations to come. If that wasn't monument worthy, nothing was.

He raced out toward the courtyard to announce his news to whoever would listen... or not.

Raven spots Artisan, her wand at the ready.

Helm stayed in the background, knowing he wasn't very useful as a front line fighter. He'd subtly aide Raven. Artisan would never suspect it.

Artisan was less than pleased to see Raven, "Okay look little DE pest, I'm kind of in a good mood right now so can you come back when I'm in a worse mood?"

Raven smirks, "Since when do I do a Strayer any favors?" She points her wand at him, "Crucio!"

Anyone object if Jessie comes in? If Yes thats fine. I enjoy watching

OOC OMG! Jump in!!   

The inventor rolled out ofthe way, groaning in annoyance. "Alright, I'll make this quick. At least make me have to try!"

He whipped down his back and threw three S shaped disk at Raven. This was just the distraction to buy him time.

OOC PLEASE do!

Walks out and see's Artisan and Raven-

ARTISAN!!!!

Raven dodges them, slightly distracted, then smirks.  "Would you rather have a physical fight, then?"  She looks for him and gets closer, when she hears Jessie.  "How cute... Your pet it here too!"

Helm noticed the newcomer, then again, the deaf probably could've made the same observation given her volume. Would he need to interfere with her? He'd watch and see.

Artisan knew his greatest skill was ranged fighting. He could probably go toe to toe with Raven but why risk anything when he could be 100% sure of his victory. "I have a better idea, how about this?" The disk split apart and release a green sludge-like substance all over the area. Soon it'd harden on whatever... or whoever it touched.

Jessie stayed back. She wasn't that stupid. She knew better than to get close to one of Artisans inventions. But still she watched anxiously. All of her focus was on Artisan-

The sludge gets all over Ravens feet, sticking her to the ground, with just tiny bits on her arms, restricting little of her arm movement.  No matter... She has magic!  She points her wand at the ground and casts a spell to freeze it so she can break it.

The boy turned to look at Jessie, "Hang on Jess! I'll finish this no problem! Like always!" He winks at her as his attention returned to the fight. He sent a stunning spell a the girl, "Game, set, match!"

Helm was watching the battle and saw it start to go unfavorably for Raven, they needed a trump card. Maybe this Jessie could be the trump card. He silently and quickly started to make his way towards her.

Raven, having great reflexes, deflects this spell with her wand.  "Please... Do you honestly think that it would be THAT easy to defeat ME?"
