The factotum nods then gives the orders, the three Takers approaching Sill together and while they try to look calm the drow feels their nervousity.
"What is it?", the first one asks bluntly.

The effect is tremedous and they all stumble back- teo of them writhing on the ground as the creatures controlling them force their way out of their hosts- but the one who was watching them just slumps to the ground- a strong, possessing spirit forced out of it.
Some of the Takers surrounding them start to flee, others take up army and ready spells, preparing themselves to face this opponents.

The sight of the trio contorting in the writhing pain was a planned one. However, when she had prepared the bag of holding for the bug-like creatures, unexpected apparition appeared of the obvious leader of the group. It was one of the spirit invaders, who were the stalwarts of the massive attack on city.
This was not going according to plan.
Taking distance five feet away in quick jumps, Sill reacted to change of surrounds. She could not fight this creature alone. They were simply too strong for her. Thankfully, it was only one of them.
"Fated, assemble!" She invoked into mighty for her stature command voice. "The enemy is here! Surround them!"
She already brought out another scroll, ready to somehow stagger the abominable invaders. Her weapon was also prepared. The mace was enchanted to fight almost any foe with advantage of her cunning, but she did not know if this apparition was one of these.

Her move was a wise one and the following battle is as brutal as it is short, several Takers being woundedm teo killed before the creature is taken down.
As the the remains fade a cleric starts to see to the wounded and another namer starts to use the wand on the small groups of Takers who did not fight in this battle.
But no other farspawn or hollow appears- they seem safe. For now.

Another possessed man died.
None of it was sitting well with her.
She barked commands to namers. The strongest warriors who survived were to form groups, check the whole complex with the wands and spells, gather the mindcrawlers and destroy spirits controlling them. Unfortunately, rouge knew that would mean death of the hosts. Still, it was better than to let the farscape creatures to do what they want.
Far from being a good medic, she looked at the wounded, who were tended by more expertised hands. There were choices to be made. Sill was always hiding her spellcasting abilities to move her agenda. She brought out her healing supplies to stabilize those in critical state, but her attention was on the dead man who was possessed by invader.
There was need to lessen the toll of death somehow, to shift the flow one life at a time. Sill needed to be alone with the corpse. But who knows how many more of the creatures are still out there?
She turned to nearest instructor, who was keeping discipline amongst survivors.
"I need a list of visitors of the academy and of those who ran away. Factotum Ra'zeth also needs reinforcements as well. We must take back control of the building. And keep the dead bodies in check, away from dusties."

By that time, Ra also arrived to the training hall, an almost smug grin on his face.
"117 bastards removed an' accounted fer... what's the status here lass?"
He patiently waits for Sill to finish, then continues.
"I'd suggest we spread out our supply o' wands and shyte and form cordons at every entrance. A few basher at each place, so tha' nae one can leave or enter without a checkup. Zhe Duke has returned, we need a workin' security before he returns an' see the mess we 'ave on our hands!"

//Alright, I am confused. Didn't Selebius post that the 117 people purged is result of whole night till morning? It made me think that Sill is acting while Ra is still making his business.

(( Hehe- time is a bit difficult to track in forum RP.
Raz'eth and the others he gave some wands to found those 117 takers and 'freed' them.
In the meanwhile Sill had her little encounter with the Hollow- which I descriped in more detail because it was the only Hollow found so far.
When they both meet it is evening- Raze'th being busy with purging while Sill has been busy with reorganizing and rallying those found in the academy. ))
Sill's task is not an easy one- what happned there was something most Takers were not ready to deal with and now they are shaken to the core.
However soon she finds those who are still reliable and with some help she gathers the warriors she needed and they spread out to search for other possessed and controlled creatures with their wands and spells.
Of course she finds her share of spellcsasters among them- and the Sign is an old, simple spell shared by nature-, arcane- and divine magic.
When she turns to the instructor he quickly follows her orders, the corpses hidden in a small armoury while some namers collect the names of those who fled.
When Raz'eth arrives a resemblance of order has returned to the Academy.
Twenty warriors- 6 of them spellcasters able to use the Sign- await Razeth's commands, ready to reinforce his troops.
Sill has the names she requested- 43 people are missing. If they ran away in panic or if they wee possessed or controlled is unknown.
And she has that corpse, waiting in the armoury.

With many thoughts coursing through her mind (one of them is certain glee of having a small squad under temporary command), she did not expect Ra'zeth's approach. There was a startled frown, then a smile when the Factotum was in sight.
"What took you so long?" she beamed her grin at strongman.
"Well, I did not check the list yet. Don't count the basilisk eggs unless you are sure you have finished the basilisk. But we have some news. And more recruits. "
She proudly pointed at the gathered men, women and other kinds behind her. Each of them saluted with tense discipline.
"There were troubles. It seems a phantom thing was hiding amongst us. But it was destroyed. It's host, however, did not survive."
Her hand takes out a rolled parchment, presenting it to warrior.
"Here are the names of members who went missing during the chaos."
