Sending Stone/Audio; Open | During the Abomination attack

[seesobserves]

[The rush of the waterfall can be heard first, before Sherlock speaks:]

The Undercroft is holding. [A crash, a distant roar.] For the moment... [A short, tense beat as he pauses, listening.] Bursts of flame... fire magic. If it breaks through the foundations, the combustion grenades could bring the whole castle down.

[Did he say that out loud? Well. Maybe it's for the better people know what's at stake.]

Get it out of here!

[Korrin answers this as soon as she can, her voice alert and tense.]

What the hell is happening back in Skyhold?!? Did Corypheus find us again?

[And his damn archdemon or whatever it is. ]

[seesobserves]

We're not that dead. [See? He can be optimistic.] There's a good chance we'll make it out alive, so long as someone can draw the Abomination out of the main hall.

[gatheringstorm]

An abomination...shit.

Any idea who it was?

[Please, don't let it be anyone she knows. This is heartbreak enough.]

[seesobserves]

Been in the Undercroft since sundown. [Dry, sardonic:] I'm certain they'll take roll call later.

[gatheringstorm]

[She sighs heavily, frustrated at herself.]

Vashedan. I'm sorry I can't help in any way. I left for Emprise du Lion the other week, a scouting mission.

[seesobserves]

More missing comrades?

[gatheringstorm]

No, it's not like the mire. Thankfully. But we're far too distant to get back to Skyhold in time. If that wasn't the case, I would. I hope the Undercroft is well-stocked, at least.

[seesobserves]

With weapons? [Another crash from above.] Decently.

[gatheringstorm]

And runes and potions, I hope.

Are there any others with you?

[seesobserves]

An elf and a dwarf. No qunari to complete the set.

[gatheringstorm]

[Sigh. Now she's worried about Kas and Gorse...and Taashath, because he's probably going to snap.]

I hope others have the sense to take cover, then, at least those who don't have experience fighting one.
