Lara sighed as she walked up to the double doors to the church, noticing from a distance that the doors had been barred with a wooden block that would have been no problem for her axe to get through in a few minutes. The issue was that Lara didn't have a few minutes so the woman was forced to take a step back, hoist up her bow and prepare a rope arrow to be fired at the wooden block that was preventing her from getting into the church. After the rope arrow embedded itself in the wooden block, Lara pulled and pulled hard u til the moment she heard the wood cracking and with one final heave she broke the wood block in two and opened up the french double doors. With the doors open she could see clearly into the church, and with it being a holy place the Croft didn't expect it to be as pristine as everything else but that didn't seem to be the case this time and in fact there were three armed guards awaiting her arrival. Just as Lara was about to jump to the left in an effort to avoid being hit by the plasma slugs fired by their muskets Jhago showed up and fired his own weapon at them just in time to avoid Lara most likely being skewered by their starving guns.
She breathed out a sigh of relief as the noise made by Jhago firing his weapons i to the enemies rang throughout the air and she realized that the werewolf was her savior today, Lara wasn't about to forget something like that. The twenty one year old had found a friend in one of the remaining denizens of the Endless Dunes, and in this sand filled abomination Lara was quite thankful that of all the things she could have endured in this hell hole that one of them was gaining a friend. Lara didn't know Jhago all to well but from what she had seen from the werewolf he was sensitive, and kind, and caring, and compassionate and Lara could most definitely make use of that in the little ragtag team of elite bounty hunters, treasure hunters, assassins, soldiers, thieves, martial artists, and other people at the top of their chosen occupation which could range from businessmen supplying them with weapons to a tactician or someone like her. In all truthfulness it was absolutely insane that Lara had gotten so used to her current... Predicament so quickly that her mind has begun to wonder around and around preparing her for a long future in this strangle place. With all the things that had happened today and evidence that they would continue on for a while Lara couldn't afford to be thinking about that kind of thing right now, so the Tomb Raider put her head back into the game.
Lara gave a wave to Jhago as she strode calmly into the church, bow in hand with her eyes wondering around and looking for a light switch until finally she remembered that this was a colonial era settlement. It was uncommon for Lara to have a lapse in memory like that, but with all this excitement you couldn't blame her for one little mistake since she was, after all, still human despite how much better her physique was than most people's. Lara's lighter eventually lit a torch that she pulled out from its place, the Croft motioning for Jhago to follow her as her instincts set in and she made way to the only place that these creatures would probably hide a treasure so well. That would be the room they used for mass, and with that Lara opened a set of doors and low and behold there was an altar with the relic they had been looking for at the center of it, but there was something off about this room. It was almost too clean, the room was completely empty except for the altar and a few things that looked to be almost sacrificial in the way that they were placed on and around the altar with a few spatters of blood around it.
With a tedious step forward, the entire church behind them seemed to lurch with a menacing sound that seemed to be the result of the foundation falling into some hollow underground storage well of doom. Sadly for Jhago and Lara that's exactly what the sound was and with that she jumped forward with great vigor in a run of strength and speed, Lara screaming out Jhago's name to get their attention and hopefully make them run since the church was collapsing behind them. "Get the relic, I'll prepare out getaway!" Lara grabbed ahold of something that Jhago could use to get across the rope attached to an arrow she would fire out the window, it was a thick club-like device. In addition she stuffed some sort of gauntlet in her sack as she ran so that she could give it to Jhago, it seemed to be made out of some sort of metal with dark energies and as she picked it up Lara felt a chill go through her body. The Croft kicked open the door, revealed to her was the fact that the church that was supposed to be in front of them had seemingly been cleaved in half and in its place some sort of cliff with buildings that appeared to be a town appeared below them, from here it looked like the only town with humans in it. Lara hoisted up her bow and launched a penetration arrow with a rope attached, embedding it in the rock face on the other side without questioning where the rest of Roanoke had gone too and what exactly was happening to the ruins behind them, hopefully Jhago would get ahold of one of the papers she had seen and maybe that would explain what happened.
