"Wizard High School Part 8"

"Ashe opens up...some people! With a knife. And also crushes some dudes. For real though, lots of murder happens." - Wizard High School Part 8.
== Plot Synopsis ==
Inien explains to Ashe that she'll be limited to nine spells that she can use to assist in their rampage, noting that it's a typical restriction for wizards to have limited spell uses. Her first spell is used to enchant Ashe with a stoneskin spell as Ashe ambushes a pair of cultist wizards holding hellhounds in summoning circles, attacking with dagger and sword. As cultists are slain the captive hellhounds are set loose. Ashe uses the hand of moss and stone to throw one to Inien, who uses a sparkly spell "learned from Markus" to explode it. Ashe kills another cultist while protected by one of Inien's spells that deflects magic before being caught by the wrists and ankles by magical bindings. Inien uses another spell to teleport Ashe out of the bindings and into prime stabbing location behind the cultist who had caught her. Each of the pair then takes out a hellhound: Ashe by scattering one into goop and causing it to reform improperly around a cultist's body, and Inien by exploding the other. Ashe brutally kills one last cultist by crushing him with the hand of moss and stone and the two proceed to the exit with Ashe attempting to menace Inien and Inien shrugging the threats off with her usual snark.
Meanwhile, Colvin leads Markus and Gregor across another set of elevated platforms, this time overlooking a number of apparent jail cells filled with depressed looking people. Colvin remarks that this area of the Coven of Dusk is called "Space Camp" and the coven leader usually doesn't allow him into this area. Apparently, Space Camp has been described to Colvin as a place "where we bring all the new recruits who want to experience the joys of space exploration through magic". Markus finds an ape in one of the cages, who turns out to be Markus Jr.. He encourages Markus Jr. to escape and help them rescue the rest of the prisoners in the cages. Not wanting to crush Colvin's dream of one day getting to Space Camp himself, Markus insists that this must not be the real Space Camp and assures Colvin that the real Space Camp is still out there somewhere. The commotion attracts the attention of some nearby cultists. Markus attempts to assault them first with a barrage of imps armed with small knives (a very short-lived attempt) and then by sweeping the area with an eyebeam. The ape attempts to rescue people from not-Space-Camp with disastrous results, as 3 of 4 are flung out of the cages and into walls to meet a gruesome death, the one survivor having been fortunate enough to be caught by Gregor. Markus momentarily deflates upon learning of this, but bounces back quickly. Markus Jr. leaves to take the people (dead and alive) back to their families.
Ashe and Inien are still bickering as they emerge from a stairwell to find Thog shirtless and fist-fighting a group of cultists. Ashe rushes in to assist with some stabbing. Inien assists by casting a spell that kills a cultist by putting his clothes inside his body. The spell horrifies Ashe, distracting her from the cultist in her grip, but Inien argues that it's no different from Ashe stabbing the cultists to death: either way they'll be dead. Inien uses two more spells to kill two more cultists, while Thog just knocks the last one out unconscious. Ashe is surprised to find that Thog hasn't sustained any significant injury despite having fought through a hoard of wizards with his fists (as Thog says, "magic wounds are magic wounds"). Much to Ashe's discomfort, Inien and Thog share a moment of appreciation for Ashe's talent for killing people, as the three briefly review how they all arrived at this room. Inien uses her last spell to make all of the blood disappear.
With all of the cultists dead or otherwise incapacitated, Inien announces that she'll be taking a moment to sleep and that Ashe and Thog should move on ahead in the meantime. She explains that she's a special type of wizard and can return all of her spell uses after even a few minutes of sleep (though the magic is more powerful when she sleeps for longer), which was how she was able to cast spells again after having been briefly knocked unconscious when she and Ashe were captured earlier. Ashe and Thog head off to search for Markus and Gregor.
