"Yeah, because I'm just going to sit here while they have all the fun," the Pegasus Knight blurted out, standing comfortably in the halls of the Fort. "You're interested, aren't you? Your face says it all." The Wizardess shifted her weight, arms crossed before her defiantly, her mouth curved in a smirk. "To the extent that your idea has a certain amount of practicality, yes."
"Practicality, of course," Eve said with a grin. "We'll go with that."
Isyndel nodded, satisfied.
"I like fun," Viki added, eyes closed and smiling happily.
"Yer all insane. The whole lot o' ya; must be yer gender," said Langston, throwing his arms up in exasperation.
"But you will be coming anyway," Isyndel stated matter-of-factly.
He replied with only a toothy grin.
If you wanna field a character for the attempt to take Mageron, let me know.

After determining that a third strike force could be assembled to locate and detain Mageron, the heir-apparent to the Destonian throne, little time was wasted in organizing the mission. Isyndel manages to convince the mages of Manarina to cast a few high powered divinations that manage to crack the wards put up by Destonia and locate Mageron. Though strong, the mages of Destonia are simply no match for the combined might of the fabled city of mages. The advanced magical techniques that the academy-city had been developing for centuries strip apart the unimaginative defenses placed around the prince.
Mageron and his retinue have taken refuge in a small fortress outside of, but nearby, the capital city. General Steele is with him, commanding his bodyguard.
With little time to waste, Viki uses her particular brand of teleportation to transport the heroes within the castle, bypassing most of the defenses with a single spell.
Everyone appears in a large hall, banners and tapestries covering the walls while large braziers contain roaring fires to both heat and light the large chamber. A score of guards armed with polearms and in plate scattered about the room start at the intrusion, one running into a hall while the others scream and ready their weapons.
((A score is 20, by the way.))

Septimus extends his hand quickly, and utters a few arcane words of power. The effect of his spell is (for the time being) unknown. At least until the single soldier attempting to run through the hall hits a wall of force. [Cast a Wall of Force to block the hallway where the soldier is running to. No escape for him]

Using a simple cantrip to create a small flare of lights, Isyndel waved her arms before her once emphatically. "We mean only to speak to Mageron; no need to take up arms," she spoke flatly, her eyes spanning around the room, her guard never wavering. Offering them a chance was one thing but assuming men-at-arms would act in good faith was quite another. Ludicrous enough to have several well armed people enter your hallway; evenmoreso to have them teleport in all at once.
Still, if bloodshed could be avoided...
Langston and Eve both set to charge anything that moves aggressively toward them.
Viki waits for now.
If the enemies don't immediately attack after this, Eve or Viki or anyone else present can pop some Diplomatic Skills (Eve is +13, Viki +18 I believe, in case you wanna move this before I get home from work TUM)

The soldier runs right into the Wall of Force, sending him back on his rear. A warrior in officer's regalia snarls at Isyndel's words. "Lies of the enemy, men! Do not allow them access to the Prince! Fight for all you're worth!" he extorts. The soldiers raise their weapons and cheer, then charge the small group of heroes. Eve and Langston immediately countercharge, killing the first two soldiers with ease, but the rest swarm forward. Between Langston's agility and Eve's heavy armor, they are able to parry, block, and dodge the blows rained down on them as halberds swing, but only two engage each. The rest move towards Viki, Isyndel, and Septimus with murderous intent.
"First rule of combat!" the officer snarls as he swings his halberd, a skillful blow that lands on Isyndel and draws a fair amount of blood. "WIZARDS DIE FIRST!"
Four soldiers surround each of the spellcasters, two managing to thrust forward while the others manuever for a better position. Septimus' protective magic and combat knowledge allows him to escape harm, but Viki's supernatural luck fails her for a moment and she suffers a light wound to her shoulder.

"You can try," Septimus says calmly, the nervousness he usually displays in social interactions gone. "But you will not succeed," he continues, his tone filled with confidence. With a single syllable, the spellguard disappears from sight. A short string of words follow, and a burst of intolerably bright lights assail all the soldiers attacking Septimus, catching as many more as possible.
[Quicken cast Greater Insivibility. Pass defensive casting. Cast Radiant Assault, use PrC ability Selective Spell so that is only hits enemy troops. Aim it so that it hits all those around Sep and as many others as possible. 41 damage, dazed for 6 rounds...or... pass a Will save DC28 for 20 damage and dazzled for 3 rounds]
