THE SCENE WAS chaotic, ghoul type looking things were crawling all over the mess hall of the Greyskull keep. She grunted when one suddenly shoved themselves into her stomach, Korelia growling as her nails sharpened and eyes turned green.

"Keeper!" Vex shouted, being the first to notice the girl. The princess swung her staff, waves of magic flowing out and pushing the ghosts back with the light coming from it.

"The light keeps them away!" Scalan shouted, looking at Korelia expectantly to save them. Korelia wiped the black tears from her eyes and looekd over at Keyleth who hid under the table.

"Keyleth!" Korelia suddenly yelled, grunting as a large amount of magic resonating from her staff.

She watched the elven girl clump her hands together and resonated light from her own magic. With a shove to the ground, the blue jay a top of Korelia's staff lit up as well, becoming a make shift lantern.

Keyleth yelled, shoving her hands in the air to get the light to shine through out the room. The ghouls began to bubble and scream, trying to get away from the bright light. An arrow was shot and hit one in the head, the rest of the group watching on as they were finally able to touch and knock down the monsters.

"Now!" Vex yelled, running to get the ghoul who was at the door.

Korelia rushed over to Percy as he shoved one down to the ground from it's perched postition on the wall. With loud growls, she used the end of her staff to hit the ghoul over and over again. Blood splattered on her clothes and Percy's legs as the human also smashed it's head in. Everyone began to attack the ghouls trying their best to dismember them.

Keyleth suddenly kneeled over, the light giving out and the elf panting in exhaustion. Korelia stepped over the ghoul she had been bashing, rushing over to Keyleth to help the girl up from the floor. Percy was quick to also make his way over, helping both girls get their bearings. The monsters suddenly began to disappear in clouds of black smoke, everyone watching with bated breaths as they left out of sight.

"Where did those foul things come from?" Asked Captain Jarett, looking exhausted from the fight.

"We told you the Briarwoods." Keyleth spoke from in between Korelia and Percy.

"And no doubt they'll be sending more." Korelia glanced over at everyone. "You can't stay here."Jarett grunted, turning with his sword in his hand and glaring down at Vox Machina, almost as if he was going to challenge them.

"Don't make us fight you too." Percy warned. Captain Jarett stared them down, deciding what would be best.

"You intent to stop those who did this to my men?" Jarett asked, waiting for an answer.

"You have my word." Percy spoke with confidence, determined to stop the Briarwoods for what they did.

"Than go." Jarett answered, putting his bloodied sword away. Vox Machina relaxed their shoulders, glad that they would be able to move with their vengeance.
