And that is how Kali found herself in the midst of these four rather powerful looking mages. Unlike the earlier group of adventurers who were recruiting others for the raid, the actual raid team was made up of some incredible powerhouses. Although interacting with them for a few minutes immediately let her know how dim-witted they were, their auras still caused some cold sweat to rise on Kali. She gauged them as they went about preparing for the raid. On and one on one, she could probably take them out, but if even two of them got together in order to deal with her, then Kali would have a very difficult time even coming out of it alive.
The letter sent by Cain had indicated the locations of all sorts of traps in the tomb and how to trigger them. And while one part of her brain wondered how Cain knew all of this in such detail, another part of her brain began thinking of all the ways she could trigger them without their knowledge and sabotage the entire team. A much darker and insidious part of her urged her on to kill them without a thought. Mostly because all these mages made her feel somewhat threatened. She could feel the murderous intent rising from somewhere within her. Kali had to suppress them before anyone found out, however, and she did so by masking it all with a seemingly harmless smile.
She helped them out with whatever preparation was left and set out into the tomb. They went down a narrow tunnel for what seemed like a long time until the place came where Cain told her. The road split in two directions at this point which would force the raid team to split, and Kali was told that this would be her only chance. Going further in from this place, she would have to be careful where she stepped or placed her hands. Kali had to keep a mental image of all the traps and triggers Cain drew out in the letter as she followed one group of them down the left path. She was accompanying a fairly strong nature mage and wind mage. It was time to start.
