The company sits around for a second to see if the zebra was telling the truth, and after a minute or so his pupils dilate and he gets a sort of glassy stare. Loupe checks his heartbeat really quick, and then everyone starts to make their way towards the stairs and slowly walk down, with Nishan in the lead, the foals behind her, with Loupe flanking them all.
The commotion gets louder and louder, until they see a room open before them with a passageway to the right.
The one in front of them is filled with zebras hiding behind crates, ducking to avoid the occasional blast of magic.
There are two zebras near the back of the room arguing, even as the spells fly by them.
Emerald has to hold back a gasp. He recognizes one of them. It's Dejen!
"emptied enough gas into that room to knock them all out several times over! How could anyone still be conscious?" the zebra that isn't the guard says to Dejen.
"Then get the undiluted potion and toss it in there." Dejen says through clenched teeth.
"B-but… That'll kill" The other ones starts before he is interrupted by the kindly guard from before.
"Then so be it. Losing all of one shipment is better than having the whole operation blown. Do you know who you have in there? She isn't very well known around these parts, but let's just say we are lucky she isn't turned this place into a smoking crater yet." Dejen says icily to the other zebra.
