Weakness

As the three wake from their restless rest Lemiel suddenly appears, "sorry I disappeared, I needed to go confirm some things about Stephen to make sure I wasn't mistaken, I'm sure you didn't need me for the queen though," she says, "everything went fine ri-" she starts and then looks down at the three women, each of them awake now, but clearly still struggling emotionally, "Ooh... Um I'm sorry, but I have good news," she says trying to maintain her cheeriness as the three women just watch her.

"Good news about killing Aqua?" Yulia asks, her hands covering her face making it difficult to make out her words.

"Um... Assuming you said killing Aqua there then yes," she responds, "I'd prefer we have everyone, but we can absolutely kill him with just three people... Unfortunately I'll be useless in the fight... I don't do well underwater as you may have noticed. The good news is neither do you and the same is true of Stephen! You have to contend with the different physical limitations caused by the water and he would as well except he has an enchantment on him that let's him ignore the water, however this has a downside. After all what can you do in water that can't be done on land... Other than drown," She asks.

"Swim?" Yulia questions and Lemiel nods.

"Yes exactly. He is stuck on the floor the same as on land. He isn't disadvantaged by the water, but he also loses the one advantage water does give, which is the ability to move in three dimensions, add to that the fact that in order to avoid any potential difficulties with his magic underwater he's restricted all his magic to touch based and you get..." she peters out watching Yulia expectantly.

"He has no ranged ability and no ability to reach an opponent who is floating above him out of reach!" Yulia exclaims.

"YES! Though that isn't entirely true... He does have one ability he can use at range and it's the reason we need at least three people. His sword was gifted to him by Levateinn... It's... The Demon Blade of Envy and with it he can turn allies against each other. It can **** thoughts of envy to the surface, maybe they're mildly envious of you having a better sword or something, doesn't matter it will turn it into a murderous rage," she explains and Yulia closes her eyes.

"So, that's why Isalia stabbed me..." she mutters and Lemiel nods.

"The plan is with three people he can only target one at a time. If he targets someone the other one can hold them down while the third continues to attack him. Obviously the more available people the better, especially since only Yulia has any effective ranged abilities, plus with just three of you and one of them being Goma, there's the concern that if he turns Goma on the rest of you, she can puppet the second one and suddenly it's two on one against us. I can help a little, but well... I restricted use of my powers specifically because I'm afraid of what might happen if I do engage in the fight and he uses the blade of envy on me..." she explains.

"So, we might get lucky, but it's safer if we have more people... We might be able to rescue Cherchiel during the fight if we're really lucky, but we might want to focus on getting Isalia first then, to ensure we have a fourth person just in case Goma turns on us..." Yulia suggests and Goma looks quite upset at the idea.

Lri sighs, "so, what's the danger exactly if Yulia goes it alone? If he uses the blade of envy on her and there's no one else to attack what happens?" she asks.

"Well... I'm not entirely sure, but I don't want to risk the chance it's worse..." she explains.

"okay so we have a plan potentially for dealing with Aqua, but it still comes down to a decision about whether or not we should go get Isalia first?" Yulia asks and Lemiel nods.

"Although wait... when I first visited him he shot some ranged bolts of energy that killed the Sahuagin with me, how did he do that?" Yulia asks.

"I'm not sure... But if I had to guess... He was using one of the weapons to do that. It is a possibility, but he didn't use it in combat with you last time for a reason I assume... Perhaps simply because it would be lethal and he has no desire to kill you?" Lemiel suggests.
