Rendezvous point seven, eleven o clock, six hundred paces, twisted trees on the lip of that chasm.

(The minimal alteration-to-a-human-mind that produces the necessary change in behavior is -)

Iomedae's sword strikes true and the vampire turns to mist. "Let's pursue," she says.

It's not how she looked when the Crusade ended. This was a long time before that.

" - Let's not rush into anything, there’s probably a trap." Alfirin floats near the ground. Her arms are heavy with fatigue, her clothes sodden with rain, and her legs feel like they'd give out under her if she put weight on them.

"I’m sure there’s a trap, but if we lose it we've accomplished nothing. We have a tracker. You all right? Do you need a lay on hands?" Iomedae still hasn't moved from where she struck down the vampire. Forty feet outside of Alfirin’s magic circle. Fifteen from the priest’s.

"A restoration maybe. I'll live." Alfirin sighs. "You're my commander," she says, "If you say we pursue then we pursue."

…Marit’s been dominated. Right through his magic circle, which nobody else present is going to believe happened, but Alfirin’s seen it before, done it before -

Nenio, proceed as normal and ready to glitterdust thirty paces in front of you and a hundred up, on my mark. - Cansellarion I just got a vision from Iomedae and Marit’s dominated and you need to stop moving, don’t tell anyone yet -

Some wizards would argue this order, which is evidently an order to glitterdust first team in transit based on the coordinates they just relayed and which thereby endangers them.

Some other wizards would object that first team is specifically immune to being glitterdusted in transit because Cansellarion’s Greater Angelic Aspect functions as a Lesser Globe of Invulnerability out to twenty feet - this was specifically a priority of Marit’s, having first team impossible to glitterdust - 

Nenio just sounds intrigued. Ready.

How does she know that name, he didn’t think Marit was telling everyone - How did a dominate land through all the protections - those are questions he can start asking in three moments -

He stops in midair.

Alfirin races forward and flies up to about the same elevation and pulls a blank scroll out of a pocket- Three, two, one, mark.

Glitterdust!!!

First team (except Cansellarion) is visible and more than mildly surprised to be so.

Lann spins to fire a one-man volley of arrows in the direction of the caster; Vynsiel Glitterdusts right back.

Alfirin lunges forward and casts an antimagic field and then is visibly falling with Marit from a hundred feet up but that’s survivable, really.

Lann makes the mistake of lunging towards them to grab the Knight-Commander and then also falling. 

Scatter and eyes peeled, report to me if you see anything -

Demons must have hit them with confusion or something - Vescavors or derakni, maybe, but he doesn't hear any droning -

“DOMINATE” Marit screams urgently at Alfirin and doesn’t have time to get anything else out before -

They hit the ground. It hurts. Together, though, and that’s what matters because Marit should be fine as long as he’s within ten feet of her.

However the situation is still a disaster on the scale of moments because they’re visible, right near the Abyssal rift, and that was absolutely noticed by demons who are now flying or running over to see what happened and one cannot Teleport out while in an Antimagic Field, nor be Teleported against one’s will, and -

“Abort, scatter,  something landed a Dominate through the Magic Circle,” Marit shouts up at everybody else. “Nocticula, Tar-Baphon, or - I’m not really sure who else -” There are vanishingly few people who can hit him with a Will-defended spell. Tar-Baphon in fact usually couldn't.

Technically it could also be a powerful nonevil spellcaster or Alfirin but either of these seems unlikely, Alfirin even more unlikely than she seemed three moments ago before she saved him. 

“Sir, I recommend that I bludgeon you into unconsciousness and we all teleport out.”

The problem is that some of the others may also be Dominated and they’ll be left behind when everyone obeying orders Teleports out.

Anyone Dominated on second team they’ve just lost, because you can’t actually catch a flying invisible mind blanked person under these circumstances, but first and third team can now see each other and Dominated members may be possible to take down and take with them. “Second team prepare to teleport out emergency point 2; first fire on anyone who disobeys the next orders. Nenio land here prep to Teleport out emergency point 2. First team, third team, land here, confirm you’re fine, prepare to Teleport out.” Is everyone on first and third flying down to confirm as ordered -

“I’m not Dominated,” Lann says, standing up and brushing himself off and drawing his bow to shoot anyone who is. 

“Not dominated,” confirms Vynsiel. And Daeran, and Nenio, and Irabeth, and Amadeus, and Cansellarion -

 “Teleport out emergency point 2. Catherine’s temporary command. Now bludgeon me into unconsciousness and get us out of here."

“Yes, Sir. Lann, help me.” It’s actually a little difficult to bludgeon someone as tough as Marit into unconsciousness using fists and a rapier, but they manage. Cansellarion picks him up.

Alfirin dismisses the antimagic field - hopefully enough people saw the tattered scroll to corroborate it’s existence.

Catherine takes Nenio’s hand. “Vynsiel, ready to teleport out first team. Nenio, do you have an antimagic field?  We’ll want to check everyone from second team at point two.”
