This is likely due to his higher than normal amount of elven blood which gives him angular high boned features and slightly pointed ears. He is also possessed of hair as red as flame which he's grown out to shoulder length, another rarity among the Volknir men.

The hallway curves down and reveals a long stretch of hallway with numerous doors terminating in another staircase winding downwards. "I suppose we start checking doors then." He says as he approaches the first pressing his ear to it before opening it up. Storage room, bedroom, laboratory, and a dining room. He opens the door to each in turn, checking for enemies before going to the next. "Should he investigate any of these further?"

Roleplay posts: 276
Age: 158
Physical Description: Like all of the Kehl-Nari Elves, Emahra is tall and of a slender build, standing at 5'10" and covered in the toned muscles that come from a lifetime of training in the way of the sword. Her skin is fair, and she bears the elegant bone structure and pointed ears of the Elvenkind, that lend her a nearly breathtaking beauty. Her hair is long, falling to mid-thigh when unbound, and is a bright, vivid shade of blue, although she habitually wears it bound back into an intricate plait. Her eyes are a rich, liquid amber-gold that that are, much like her expressive facial features, usually filled with whatever she may be thinking or feeling at that moment. While not amply endowed, like many women, she has a respectably-sized bosom, a trim waist, and shapely hips, accentuated by long, graceful legs.
----------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Emahra wears one of two ensembles. The one most commonly seen consists of tight-fitting dark blue breeches that are tucked into a pair of knee-high black leather boots, paired with a black brocade corset, and detached black lace sleeves that cover her arms from just below the shoulder to the base of her fingers, leaving them and her thumbs exposed. All of these items are painstakingly inlaid with runes of protection sewn in magical thread, that make them as strong as armor and spell-resistant. The other outfit is far more casual and lacking in protective enchantments, comprised of a pair of low-slung pants that are tight around the hips and upper thighs, but start to billow out at mid-thigh, to then gather again at the ankle; a sleeveless, midriff-baring top; and a set of comfortable slippers, all made of silky white material that never stains, tears, or wrinkles. These are paired with a sash the same color blue as her hair that she wears wound around her hips. Regardless of her attire, at all times, she wears a slim golden band around her brow that bears a single smooth, teardrop-shaped gem of darkest sapphire; this circlet bears an enchantment similar to the ones inscribed into her normal attire. Whichever set of clothing she isn't wearing at the time makes its home in a plain black pack which she carries, that also houses basic supplies such as a healer's kit and travel rations. She also carries with her at all times the Heirloom Blade of her House, the Blade of Ankiri. Its blade is five feet long, and it bears a hilt of blue leather above a golden crossguard, its pommel inlaid with a deep sapphire blue gem that seems infused with an inner light; at its crossguard is a blue flame, the sigil of House Untyrid. This Blade can be wielded only by one of the blood of House Untyrid, and will burn the hands of anyone else who attempts to wield it, before seeking to return to its owner by whatever means possible. It also has the capability to manipulate the wind and, in trained hands, can create storms of cataclysmic proportions; at the great expense of the one who wields it, it can, under extreme conditions, play with the rules of time.

"It seems to me they are all likely innocuous. This presents the question of, do we return to the prior staircase, or take this one? Splitting up would make the decision easier, but would not be safe."
She considered this as she eyed the upcoming staircase, then headed toward it.
"Since we are already going in this direction, let us continue to do so."
With that, she started down the steps.

"As you say."
Kaden was pretty sure the most they might have found was some clue as to who their foe was. If she did not think it was worth it, he had no reason to disagree. They head to the staircase and descend down to another floor. This one releasing into another long corridor that seems to join up with several others forming a crossroads. A bit of investigation reveals that it also could take them back to the other staircase from earlier.
"This place, there is something off about it."
He admits as he speaks slowly. They'd only seen one sign of "life" thus far and beyond that it was utterly empty. Yet it was set up as though people were living there, perhaps multiple people though they'd only found the one bedroom.

"I concur, but I cannot quite discern what it is."
Something about the place was niggling at her too, especially as she tried some more doors, looking for clues of any sort. It wasn't unusual for clergy to live in the place they worked, but this place had an oddly lived-in feel to it. She hesitated at the crossroads of corridors, looking around as her brow furrowed in consternation. For once, she wished she had use of normal magics, so that she could find this damned necromancer and get out of this place.

Pressing his hand to the stone he frowns and then finally says. "I think this place is older than what is upstairs. Like the church was built on top of this place rather than them both being built at the same time. The stone here is different, a darker shade of grey." He finally decides though he isn't quite sure what that tells them, if anything.

As soon as Kaden began talking about the oddity, Emahra realized he was right. There was an ancient feel to the stone around them, and it sent a chill down her spine. She'd been in places like this before, where structures had been built atop older ones.. and what lay beneath was never a good thing. Her jaw clenched as she thought, and then nodded slowly.
"I have encountered ruins like this before.. and if my experience is any indication, we must continue downward. They will likely be waiting for us at the oldest, deepest point."
The thought made Emahra frown mightily. Kehl-Nari meant 'Children of the Sky'. She liked wide open spaces and the wind in her hair. Being beneath so much earth made her very uncomfortable. But she had a duty to perform here. Taking solace in this fact, she began to investigate the other directions of the passageway crossroads they were at, looking for any sort of indication which path would lead them down.

It did not take long to find a path leading downward once again, the stairs were unguarded but as they approached the next landing there was a sense of foreboding. When their light cast a shadow upon it became clear why as a group of armoured knights stood at attention at the base of the stairs forming a semi-circle around the outlet. Their swords were not drawn yet but they jerked to life as the light hit them and made move to get ready to attack.

"Bloody wonderful."
Her grumbled comment at the sight of the armored knights was soon followed by her launching herself down the last steps and into the semi-circle of metal-clad figures. She slammed her shoulder into one while slashing at another with her Blade, which was long enough that it would probably hit more than one of them unless they were quick to move out of the way. Not for the first time, she was glad that the divine metal made the blade light as a feather and easy to wield, or she never would've been able to swing it with such skill, given it was nearly as tall as she was.

The knights were moving slowly and sluggishly. Her shoulder slam sent the first reeling backward while her slash at another snap into the side of one and bite deep into the armor it was wearing. However, the other knights get their swords out and advance on her. Kaden grimaces at the sight noting that they didn't seem to care about him, at least, not yet. So instead of jumping in he draws his lute and considers his options.

Their sluggish movements worked to her advantage, for when Emahra really got going, she was a whirling dervish, although confined spaces limited this somewhat. Still, she was fast, and her sword flashed as she spun, slashed, darted, stabbed, ducked, kicked, and rammed the knights advancing on her, seeking to take them all down -- or if that couldn't be done, at least repel them until Kaden could do.. whatever he might be considering. He wasn't exactly at the forefront of her mind at the moment, she was more focused on fighting the knights.

One knight fell without issue, then another, however as she went to cut down the third this one actually managed to block her sword thrust. A quick counter took that one out but then the next blocked her sword thrust and dodged her counter and suddenly the elf queen was on the defensive as the knights moved in as a unit. Suddenly they were nowhere near as sluggish as they had been and then Kaden yells out.
"Each time you cut one down something shoots out of it and into the others! I think they get stronger the more you destroy!" Which meant that they would have to take out the last of them all at once or risk having one of such overwhelming strength and speed they would be cut to ribbons. "Try to get them to clump up! I have an idea!" Kaden yells as he runs to the side of the room.

Emahra hadn't noticed something leaving the knights as she took them down, but she did notice them becoming more skilled as they were picked off one by one. It didn't take a genius to figure out the logical progression of things, and Ema was no slouch in the logic department. She made no obvious acknowledgement that she'd heard Kaden's words, let alone offering any sort of affirmative reply, but she did go purposely on the offensive. She began deflecting their blows and cautiously backing toward the stairs, luring them that way until she was perched on the bottom step, fending them off as best she could. It was a position where they'd be readily bunched up, hopefully allowing Kaden to do whatever he had planned.

"DUCK!"
Kaden yells out and if she does as she is told she would hear a thunderclap, feel a shockwave roll over her, and when she looked up she would see Kaden laid out on his ass and the remaining knights were no longer in single chunks but rather many smaller ones.

Roleplay posts: 276
Age: 158
Physical Description: Like all of the Kehl-Nari Elves, Emahra is tall and of a slender build, standing at 5'10" and covered in the toned muscles that come from a lifetime of training in the way of the sword. Her skin is fair, and she bears the elegant bone structure and pointed ears of the Elvenkind, that lend her a nearly breathtaking beauty. Her hair is long, falling to mid-thigh when unbound, and is a bright, vivid shade of blue, although she habitually wears it bound back into an intricate plait. Her eyes are a rich, liquid amber-gold that that are, much like her expressive facial features, usually filled with whatever she may be thinking or feeling at that moment. While not amply endowed, like many women, she has a respectably-sized bosom, a trim waist, and shapely hips, accentuated by long, graceful legs.
----------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Emahra wears one of two ensembles. The one most commonly seen consists of tight-fitting dark blue breeches that are tucked into a pair of knee-high black leather boots, paired with a black brocade corset, and detached black lace sleeves that cover her arms from just below the shoulder to the base of her fingers, leaving them and her thumbs exposed. All of these items are painstakingly inlaid with runes of protection sewn in magical thread, that make them as strong as armor and spell-resistant. The other outfit is far more casual and lacking in protective enchantments, comprised of a pair of low-slung pants that are tight around the hips and upper thighs, but start to billow out at mid-thigh, to then gather again at the ankle; a sleeveless, midriff-baring top; and a set of comfortable slippers, all made of silky white material that never stains, tears, or wrinkles. These are paired with a sash the same color blue as her hair that she wears wound around her hips. Regardless of her attire, at all times, she wears a slim golden band around her brow that bears a single smooth, teardrop-shaped gem of darkest sapphire; this circlet bears an enchantment similar to the ones inscribed into her normal attire. Whichever set of clothing she isn't wearing at the time makes its home in a plain black pack which she carries, that also houses basic supplies such as a healer's kit and travel rations. She also carries with her at all times the Heirloom Blade of her House, the Blade of Ankiri. Its blade is five feet long, and it bears a hilt of blue leather above a golden crossguard, its pommel inlaid with a deep sapphire blue gem that seems infused with an inner light; at its crossguard is a blue flame, the sigil of House Untyrid. This Blade can be wielded only by one of the blood of House Untyrid, and will burn the hands of anyone else who attempts to wield it, before seeking to return to its owner by whatever means possible. It also has the capability to manipulate the wind and, in trained hands, can create storms of cataclysmic proportions; at the great expense of the one who wields it, it can, under extreme conditions, play with the rules of time.

Thank the gods for fast reaction times. The moment she heard Kaden yell that word, Ema threw herself down into a crouch, folding her arms protectively over her head. Even then, the shockwave rocked her slightly, and she grunted with the effort required not to get bowled over. As the ringing in her ears began to fade, she lowered her arms and raised her head to look at the aftermath. What she saw made her eyes go wide. She quickly rose to her full height, prodding at one of the chunks of former knight with the tip of her sword, before hastening over to Kaden's side, looking down at him with some concern.
"Kaden? Are you injured?"

Roleplay posts: 67
Age: 25
Physical Description: Lithe and of average height, maybe a hair under six feet at most, Kaden is in good shape though he lacks the mighty thews of some of his brethren. This is likely due to his higher than normal amount of elven blood which gives him angular high boned features and slightly pointed ears. He is also possessed of hair as red as flame which he's grown out to shoulder length, another rarity among the Volknir men.

Clothes and Equipment: A leather cuirass, a bastard sword, sturdy green travelling cloak, lute, and standard travelling gear.

"I'm fine." He says as he looks down at his lute and sighs. All of the strings had split making the instrument next to useless for the moment. "Can't say I am a fan of that spell even if it is effective." He grumbles as he unwinds the broken strings from the pegs and tosses them aside as he slings to lute over his shoulder. "Well, I'll be a little less useful going forward Ema but at least you aren't dead." He says grinning at her. He wasn't sure if her wind move with the sword would have been enough, which was why he'd used the sonic percussion spell.

"I am sure you will still be quite useful. If nothing else, I have seen firsthand that lutes are quite useful as blunt instrumentation."
She flashed him a brief, almost playful grin, then stepped back as he seemed to be alright, her grin fading. She looked around to see what was visible in the immediate vicinity, aside from the blasted corpses. She was willing to bet that the defenses were a sign they were going in the right direction, the only question now was where to go from here.. and of course, what might be laying in wait for them.

"Considering that this lute took all my coin to afford, I would really rather not break it smashing it on someone's head."
Kaden says with a snort at her joke. If the lute and strings were of better quality he could have cast the spell without leaving it in the mess it was currently in. Free of the worry of the skeletal knights they are once again faced with a crossroads. The room they were in was an antechamber. There were two small doors to the left and right with a massive set of great doors directly across from the stairs. The room also contained a set of six pillars three to each side.

"If it comes to that, I will commission a lute of the finest quality to replace it."
This was murmured almost absently as she began to move forward, raising her Blade to a ready position and creeping forward lightly on the balls of her feet, peeking between the columns as she moved slowly and steadily toward the doors across from the stairs. Given the dramatic nature of their foe, she suspected that was the correct direction to proceed, but she wouldn't be surprised if the doors to either side housed yet another challenge.

"You sure you want to take the main doors?"
Kaden inquires as they inch towards them. He was still trying to play mental gymnastics, to think steps ahead of their enemy. He agreed with Eahra that the necromancer was probably on the other side of the door, he just wasn't sure if a frontal assault was the right idea. It felt a bit like they may be playing into her hands which he would rather avoid if he could. Still, exploring side passages hadn't born much fruit thus far.

"I suspect that anything found beyond those other doors would only be something intended to prolong our progress toward our ultimate goal and tire us out. But if it would ease your mind..."
Emahra was generally a strategic thinker, but it was easier on a large scale, when she was commanding troops. When she was engaged in smaller situations, she tended to prefer a more head-on approach. But given she had someone else to think of in terms of protecting them, she elected to work with Kaden's concerns, and altered her path toward one of the smaller doors, on the left. She pressed her ear to the seam, listening for any sounds beyond it, then tested the door to see if it was locked.
