The wrath, the contempt, the pure, utter loathing fueled him – and because Amalia had insisted he not go out and get himself killed striving to take down the Merciless and her ridiculous, overwhelming threats, he put himself to work in other venues. This was slower, more calculating, requiring action amidst the machinations and meticulous, scrupulous efforts, and not simply taking his weapons and destroying everything in his path. It would’ve been cathartic, to live as he had in Helovia – to bombard, to devastate, to ruin, to embody existence as a moving weapon, realms and individuals intimidated by his mere presence. But that wasn’t the way here. In the present, it didn’t really matter. The significance in these infernal moments was Amalia’s pending arrest; orchestrated, once again, by an ominous declaration from Zariah, leading him and the others down to the furtive basement. If there was a way to dig through the walls, clamber along underground, and find a way to the prison from below, it meant they had a means, a clarity, a way to possibly break any of their allies out (or in his notions: completely destroy the monstrosity, a layer of rebellion and insurrection). He’d informed others of his intentions, and then proceeded to the basement, carrying the equipment he thought might be necessary to the upcoming tasks. While he could create artifacts, he also theorized it’d be easier to bring a lot of the tools without having to waste his enchantments, and his bag of holding, graciously granted to him by Remi, contained a number of objects: smaller spades, helmets, flint, bandages in case of potential cave-ins, food, water, and an assemblage of other articles. His arms had carried over several shovels and buckets, then, based on the amount of equipment he required, he returned a couple more times with pieces of wood and longer portions of lumber. He'd grabbed one of Amalia's saws and added that to his pile of goods. While he waited for allies to arrive, he lit several lanterns, leaving them on the table for the individuals to grab. Zuriel had come along with him, but he’d keep her out of the tunnels for as long as he could, insisting she would watch from the impending opening. ----- PQ to potentially dig a tunnel beneath the prison! 1.
