Bells began ringing — small chimes that echoed with a calm, steady rhythm. From the sound, Finn knew they hadn't gone all out yet. This was just a simple warning bell calling the templars to readiness.
But the response to that call surprised not just Finn, but the entire Transcendent party.
Soldiers poured from barracks. Templars emerged from meditation chambers. The entire complex began swarming with activity, making their charge much harder. The bodies moving around more than quadrupled within seconds, increasing the chances of them being caught.
No one could actually sense them yet. Even the templar that sounded the alarm only did so out of caution.
But the main worry now was that with so many people moving around, anyone could literally walk into the range of Keeva and Osric's disguise and silence magic, and they'd disappear from the view of their companions, drawing immediate attention.
And it didn't take too long for that to happen.
