When still partly frozen, she flexes her arms and sends icicles scattering across the room, bursting free of her prison. In a rolling accent and deep voice, she speaks to Nettle, dark eyes locked;<br /><br /><i>"Many thanks to you, little warrior.

His mind then turns to how to seperate the wings from oros' body, if the need arises. With that, he approaches the three symbols, sees the runes, and chuckles, and presses the circle inward. <br /><br />OOC: The Mage with 30 hp will not be denied.

Oros isn't one to dally and waste time, however, and takes a more hands-on approach. Feeling about, he finds a sheet of ice, approximately 3 ft. square, that forms only a thin barrier. The ice is summarily shattered, sending fragile shards to be crushed underfoot.<br /><br />A passageway has been revealed, leading to a claustrophobic ice cavern <i>(not shown on map)</i> in which the <b>WINGS OF WRATH</b> float. They are immediately bonded to Oros. <i>(See new image above.)</i><br /><br />In addition, the alcove contains a slightly raised floor tile inlaid with mosaic tiles that form an inverted trident.
