The Sewers were nauseating. They were, after all, sewers. However these sewers were an intricate multi-tiered Labyrinth that have fallen into disrepair. It was best to stay close. Not all of the sewers were mapped out and it would take a rescue team to find anyone who had lost their way. Not only that, the sewers were littered with monsters of all kinds and varying degrees of danger. It was best to stay together.

Yuna held out a half sphere in her palm, providing a light for those following behind her. Their movements were slow and as soft as they could make them given that they're traveling in such a large group. The path, for those tracking their movements through the city, takes them northeast towards the shambling undead guarding the doorway to the Lich.

The plan was simple. Yuna and her team would go inside while Caelan guarded the door outside. Caelan was to take the key from Yuna and lock behind them with the intention to unlock the door after the Lich was dead. Yuna wasn't going to risk this monster getting into the city. It didn't matter how confident she was. She also didn't know if their phones would work beyond the shield, so there was likely no calling for help once they were inside.

[ooc notes: the monster is a Lich and I will be rolling dice to determine how well it attacks. There are a lot of zombies both in the Lich fight and outside that can be NPC-ed by anyone. The shield around the cemetery will hold through this fight and be safe on the street levels. If you have any questions please let me know on the plotting post. Also note, the lich is immune to all non-magical attacks. Feel free to make top levels for any time during this event. The Lich fight is below.]

Caelan got a smile from Ignis about having a point as he smashed in some rib cages and just kicked a few that fell like dominoes. It was almost comical in a way. Almost.

But the sorting was what got the advisor intrigued. "Indeed. And how would you go about deciding who was to be haunted or who wasn't?" This gave him more entertaining thoughts of ghost Caelan sort of being more mischievous as a spirit than being downright scary or malicious.

Ignis wasn’t particularly wrong in his imagined ghost-Caelan. The selkie was a little more prone to the mischievous than the malicious... Unless someone tugged at his temper in a particular way. Just ask some whalers that crossed him and his crew during his time at sea a few years back.

Ducking easily under an outreached arm, he grabbed it instead and used the momentum to send the undead into another to land in a heap that he could dispatch with a few slices. “Now that’s a good question, Ignis.” He grinned a little, glancing over at the other man. “Being a ghost, it’d be a lot easier to follow a possible mark. See how they interact with others, watch for red flags, get a look at their lives before deciding to instigate some chaos.”

Honestly, he was a bit of an expert at spotting people in need of a lesson at this point.

Ignis laughed and used his fire infused dagger to cut through quite a few bones here and there as he imagined Caelan just bothering people simply because he could.

A skeleton came up with a sword and the advisor jumped back a little before moving quickly around it to slash his way up the ribcage and push the oncoming next few back with a well placed kick. And that's when his eyes spotted something bigger coming up the back.

Turning to look at Caelan he nodded. "Better be ready, as we have another guest incoming."

Caelan shoved another of the undead out of his path, before turning back to face Ignis with a raised brow. “Define bigger?” He responded and tilted his head in the direction Ignis was looking...

“The bleedin’ hell is that?” He squinted a bit before tightening the grip on his daggers, “Ah, grand. Just grand. Suppose that checks out with what’s going on.” The fight within must be calling more formidable creatures to the doorway, to help or something...

Ignis' smile was razor sharp. "I have a feeling we're going to find out rather soon." And the other's words did make him wonder if indeed the something bigger coming their way was going to be as formidable and nasty as those topside would be facing.

And as soon as the monsters cleared out, it reared its rather ugly head. Ignis had never seen such a misshapen pile of flesh and he'd never seen such a mass before. Didn't matter, they had to dispose of it quickly so they could get topside. It was the advisor's goal at least to be able to help Yuna and her crew.

“Hello tall, dark and undead.” Caelan muttered as the much larger zombie came into view. This one appeared to move with a little more ease than it’s counterparts did as well. Probably influenced by the dark magics that had been awoken.

Backing up some, Caelan shifted his stance and glanced to Ignis. “Listen, while I’m not exactly unused to larger dance partners, this isn’t exactly my chosen ballroom if you catch my drift?” Probably not, but he was hoping there’d be no questions.

Swallowing a little, he darted out of the thing’s way. “If I distract it, do you reckon that you could use your fancy fire to knock its head off in a couple blows?”

Green eyes narrowed. This was an unpleasant sort of surprise and he wasn't quite sure what to do, but he had to get this done. Caelan might not be able to take this down and quickly going by what the other just said. And hopefully no other nasties were going to head their way after this either.

But he just nodded. "I'll take care of it, you deal with the rest of the riff raff."

And that was good enough for him for a confirmation. A plan in place, Caelan sliced down another one of the undead and removed its head from its with a few swift slices, “Hey! Big guy! Look over here!” He gave a shout before lobbing the skull at the creature to draw it’s attention to him and away from Ignis to help give the man an opening to attack.

It didn't take much for Ignis to plough through and only cut the skeletons that were in his way. Caelan made for quite the distraction and allowed him to jump up on the monster's head.

At first he slipped a bit but then summoned his Drain Lance quickly. He was thrown about a bit of course and nearly stepped on after being thrown off of its back. But once he regained his footing he was able to shove the lance through the back of the thing's neck. That also had him get thrown again but he summoned his daggers. And he ended it's life with two flame engulfed daggers in the chest.

Caelan kept an eye on Ignis, wincing a little as the man was thrown about a bit. He made sure to keep the smaller skeletons and zombies away from the man while he took down the larger undead.

Kicking a last skeleton into the sewer water, he turned quickly to watch it go down, “Nice work, Ignis!”

He heard Caelan cheering him on and Ignis had to smile. That was a far different cry than the last time he had to take on what felt like a small army in Altissia. So once the whatever it had been went down, he focused making his way back up to the other so they could combine their strength.

Caelan cut down a few more, making Ignis’ path a little easier as he made his way back over. That had been an unfortunate surprise that they hadn’t anticipated, and it probably wouldn’t be the last. They’d have a long day ahead of them, perhaps longer depending on how Yuna and the others were doing.

(ooc: FTB with them continuing to bond over taking down the undead?)
