He pushed his hand onto the wound, as best he could without dropping his sword, stemming the flow of blood. "Aw damnit, do you have any idea how much I like having two arms? I'll want that million for the healing."
Okay, she was fast, he could give her that much.

He had felt the ruby blade stab just to the side of his head, assuming only that Em had missed. Or that she was a sadist who wanted him to suffer a bit before death. Maybe she got paid more that way? Who knows?
That was until he felt a warm trickle down the side of his face, and he felt with his free hand. Blood? She hadn't missed. She'd taken off his ear! Things didn't seem to be going well for him.
The point was that if he didn't strike back soon he'd need more than a few extremities reattaching and stitching together. Being hit in the arm and ear had him bleeding enough as it was, anywhere else would be pushing the limits of how much blood he could lose before bleeding to death.
He had to hit back, he had to stop waiting to get cut to ribbons. He pushed forwards attacking with his free hand, trying to hurt Em without the possibility of death.

Em simply vanished as the blow connected. Hammond was suddenly back in the closed jail cell, however there was a single red coin with his face carved on it lying at his feet
Having placed so much force into the blow, and expecting to hit something solid, Hammond fell forwards and smashed into the floor.
Having rid himself of the illusion so suddenly was strange. He'd been getting hurt, he'd felt the blood dripping down the side of his face... And now it was gone. All of it was, save for a single red coin that lay in the centre of the jail's floor.
He picked up the coin, and flicked it up in the air, observing it as it flew upwards and then was reeled harshly back down to the ground. Pocketing the odd souvenir, he turned his attention to escaping. However he had gotten in here, he didn't plan on staying for long now that he was awake, and picked up his beamsword.
"Door, meet beamsword, Beamsword, meet door." He sliced the door and it fell into two pieces, only the top segment still attached to the lock. He pushed the bottom segment and crouched under to escape the jail cell.
He could still hear a voice fairly close by, the same as before. "Hammond!? Say something! Anything!"
"Em?"

"Em?"
I'm assuming that the door's gonna be fairly easy to cut to pieces and that Em is fairly close to finding me by now.
"Hammond...?" Em saw him crouched on the floor, his arm covered in blood and part of his ear missing.
"Holy shit! What happened." She ran over to him, taking off her cloak.
"Here, use this on your arm." She offered him the cloak, trying not to hug him.

can I possibly summon the lady judge here to heal him? :0
<spoiler=OOC> You could, if he was actually hurt, it was all an illusion, the judges aren't powerful enough to permanently affect someone, they can inflict pain, but they can't cause real wounds, just make you think they've been causedsky14kemea said:
<spoiler=OOC> You forgot the circular arm motions, it's not an optical illuuuuuuuuuusion *circular arm motions* without circular arm motionssky14kemea said:oh right, it's an optical illuuuuuuuuuusion.
Okies ^^
My... arm? He looked to his arm, where Em was busy wrapping the cloak, wondering. Had she seen an illusion of blood, or was he seeing an illusion of flesh and armour? Was he hurt, but unable to feel it through some magician's spell, or had he been hurt at all?
He decided not to take a chance, feigning that the injuries were real and letting her tie a knot on the cloak, making it into a makeshift bandage. It would certainly be safer than assuming he was fine.
He felt the area and moved his arm, just to check that it was still useful to him whilst bandaged. "Any ideas for a way out then?"

"There's a secret staircase that I just came from. If we can find our way back it'll lead straight to Kronos." Em said, happy that Hammond was okay. She helped him up, and they backtracked to where Em had gone through the secret passage.
Yay, Kronus, just the guy I want to see after a near death experience he probably played no small part in. He would have jumped in sarcastic joy, but felt it would detract from the situation at hand.
They continued onwards and eventually reached the end of the passage. Em searched for a second before finding a small lever concealed behind a rock and pressing down on it to reveal a portal to the outside.
"About time!" Hammond breathed in a lungful of air, thankful that he was finally out of the castle.

"Freedom! Sweet freedom!" Em yelled, before getting a strange look from Hammond.
"My bad, I thought we were being overly-happy." She said, patting him on the shoulder before skipping over to Kronos.
"I think everyone got out safe Lord, what do we do now?" She asked.

"We wait for Ari, that's what. hopefully she'll manage to wander this way." Lord Kronos stated with more than a hint of exasperation
"Ari isn't out yet?" Hammond looked back to the hidden exit, wondering what had happened to her. Could she have suffered a similar fate to himself, with no-one to help her out of the burning building? No! She's fine. She can look after herself.
He couldn't know for sure. Hammond had blacked out at dinner, so he had no recollection of anything afterwards until waking in the cell... Wait, that reminds me! He shoved a hand into his pocket and produced the golden coin with the crimson border, examining it in the firelight.
Em had gotten two of them, one of red, one of blue... This was the same as hers, in all except the face on both sides. But what did they even do? He looked it over again in confusion before banishing it to the depths of his pocket once more.

"I think she took the window route..." Kronos stated "C'mon, we'll check the stables." He said, making a "follow me" motion as he headed off
"Stables. Yeh. Of course. The best place to go in the event of a fire is the place filled with hay after all." Hammond finished his complaint with no audience, the rest of his party following obediently after the Lord.
"Damnit guys..." He went after them, defeated.
