"I suppose it's perfectly fit for finding Five and kicking his ass to oblivion, and then we can save that as a post rescue treat," Bill suggested.
Seeing that Rook had appeared to be getting more and mor soaked, and knowing her affinities, Bill then offered the umbrella without another word. Now that the sun was significantly blocked out, he didn't need it so urgently.
"I can accept being diplomacy," Antonio said, with a small smirk, "And I am looking to seeing your angle on all of this as well, Willow."
Antonio was at least looking forward to that part, even if he really didn't want to have to deal with Five again, especially not so soon. But it had to be done, and at least getting to torture Ratchet would provide some carthasis after.
"It'll certainly be good to see you more often," Bill said, before he then used his shadows as a grappling hook to rappel himself upwards, just he had done during their last battle all those months ago.
"Yes, it would be," Leofric agreed. He then got back to muttering the spell in preparation.
He then became slightly transparent, and jumped through the wall, disappearing from sight entirely. It seemed that he had his own plan for ascending.
Antonio had taken to jumping, using his stick and his magic as footholds, as well as any hollows in the walls of the tower. He had certainly approved, given that his movements were very fluid and his leaps were high. Claws also dug into the wall, leaving indents as they did so. They had gotten sharper since the last encounter.
"You can count on me to keep an eye out," Simon promised, as the camera was set up, "Don't you worry there, Willow."
It would especially be useful if Five or Ratchet had any hidden traps or henchman waiting in the shadows to get involved. Simon would keep all eyes and cameras open for anything of the sort.
"I'm more than ready," Travis said, but that still didn't stop him from letting out a surprised yell as they started to slide. He quickly got used to however, taking the trip in stride, "Well, this is definitely better than flying on a plane."
He also looked pleased to get the baseball bat, admiring and taking a quick practice swing before he got moving again.
"Oh yeah, it's all coming together," he said with a little grin, "Let's see if I can get some mangling done this time."
The first thing that hit Bill was smell of Russell's blood once he made it up to the top. Some of it was still dripping from under the cuff, before the stains faded
"Bloody hell," he only said, wincing, before he glanced up at first, "What you have done? Turned the poor lad into a lab experiment?"
It wasn't one particular poison that Russell was suffering from, it was a concoction of multiple, and Bill could hardly tell where one started and the other began. He supposed it was a blessing Russell was asleep, given that he most likely wasn't feeling any pain right now. But by the way his eyes moved beneath the lids, he was experiencing some awfully intense dreams.
"You keep her name out of your mouth!" Antonio snapped at Ratchet, his tail twitching in irritation.
Leofric finished the spell just as he rose up through the wall, like it hadn't even been there. A transparent dome of blue light had started to surround everyone in range. When that was done, Leofric reached into his coat before his arm emerged with his shield.
"I'd say it's a good time to kick your ass," Bill said, before he looked at Erica, "Nah, that's too good for him. He needs something a bit more painful."
"We can save that for after this," Leofric suggested.
"Hey, Five, how about you just let us kick Ratchet's ass, then we can take Russell back and let you have a day or so head start before we come back for you?" Bill said.
