[KQ] Raise You Like a Phoenix

The main beam had been toppled, half splintered, but it could be fixed and reattached if they got it down, shortened it a bit to get rid of the broken wood, and fixed it back in place. A likely group with an unlikely ally, Edrei - the closest to the square - would already be present by the time the rest arrived. All was still. Quiet. Tranquil, even. ...And then the whispers began. Soft, sweet, beautiful, pressed to unprotected ears of Abandoned, Accepted and Attuned alike. Only Amalia would be spared their dreadful and wonderful secrets, given the glow of her red Luxere antlers and the pretty little fishy that swam through the air in her wake. They were maddening whispers. Traitorous whispers. Infuriating, vile, disgusting whispers, suggesting terrible things about each of their allies and coaxing, fanning a rage to life that would fill the remaining members of the group to the brim. No one could be trusted. Worse still, everyone deserved to be punished. Something in the darkness has infected the minds of the group! Only Amalia is spared this and will keep her wits about her.
