Tex was both shocked and in shock as she held a hand to what was once an ear. She wasn't the best at any sort of healing magic, nor was this the time of the place to perform such a thing. Instead, the goblin seized an opening and hurried off the stool. She quickly shoved a bag of galleons in the compartment under her counter, magically sealing it with her touch after. She then peered around the corner toward the customers, waving them over. It was best to be out of the way of the trouble -- whether that be the cleaner option of trapped down in the vaults or a full duel here by the service counter. If it was the latter, she was prepared to throw up a shield spell if needed. |

Not that this maniac was concerned. All he saw was TWO bags full of loot that he needed and absolutely no one else coming to their rescue. Tumbling out of the way of the next spell, his wand was thrust to the floor beneath the girls where he send a Glisseo spell to knock them off their feet and hopefully on to their back so he could relieve them of their belongings and make a break for it through the doors.

"HURRY UP AND TAKE US!" spat one who then threw a Blasting Curse at the toes of the female goblin who had just arrived. |
She looked between all of them and hoped the aurors would be here sooner rather than later, but for now the goblin stepped closer to the prisoner. She waved her finger to send a protection against the spells being sent, "Follow me" Turning she headed back down the corridor towards the vaults. |
Mackenzie didn't need to be told twice and she turned to run, only taking a few steps before losing traction. She slid, a gasp escaping her as she went down on her hands and knees hard. Her wand slipped from her grasp and she scrambled for it, her fingers closing around it tightly as she righted herself. It felt like forever before she regained control of it, but it had only been a few terrifying seconds and they had company by then. The arrival of the goblin, who'd blocked their escape route out of the hall and seemed to have authority over the situation, gave her the time she needed to get to her feet and look for Jolie. Was she okay? The offices. They needed to get to those offices. The goblins had it from here. |
Sturnik narrowed his already small beady eyes. Nothing irritated him more than impatience. If he wasn't so concerned about the appearance of the entrance hall, he'd want to duel them right here. But moving to the vaults was still the safest option. Speaking in Gobbledegook, the Security Goblin addressed Sagni, saying, if at all possible, just shove them in a cart and push it off. The ministry could fetch them when they arrived. If they arrived. If not, the thieves would probably be found during the next round of vault checks, which was quickly approaching and only a year away. |

Kicking hands out of the way, the man nabbed both deposite bags away from the ladies and then blasted his way (literally with Bombarda Maxima) through whatever stood between himself and the chaos ridden streets of Diagon Alley. And then, while hidden beneath the veil of smoke and dust he disappeared. |
Jolie skidded too, her shoes were cute but no match for a glisseoed surface. Landing on her bum, she was still clinging to the deposit bag when the kicks came at her. Jolie shrieked a bit at the pain and then catching sight of some goblins being MURDERED, she outright screamed. The deposit bag was snatched away in the same moment and the next thing she knew, a violent explosion with dust and debris everywhere. She covered her mouth and eyes and curled into a ball as the dust settled around her. There was a HOLE in the BANK. |
These prisoners were not going to enjoy where they were being led, but that wasn't Sagni's problem. She nodded to Sturnik showing that she understood and turned to head back down to the vaults. Not even looking back over her shoulder she just waved them to come along. |
Sturnik coughed through the dust. Once that settled, he eyed the destruction in a state of complete disbelief. His fellow goblins everywhere. A HOLE in the wall. Hoping that Sagni was locking the other escapees in the vaults, Sturnik rushed over to check on his employees. |
The goblins had been hard at work since the chaos caused months ago by the escaped wandwaver criminals. Today the bank was officially entering the busy season with Hogwarts being out for the summer. Several goblins scrambled around last minute while consulting clipboards filled of checklists. They were double checking structural integrity of repairs as well as rechecking all the security improvements that had been made. |
Ashley walked into gringotts, and walked up to the thing desk or whatever, bewildered. She wondered how to set up her vault and stuff. "Excuse me," she said to a goblin, "can I like set up a vault or something? And then can I withdraw from my account? Sorry I don't really understand how this works." She hoped to get this over with so that she could start doing stuff in Diagon Alley. Why was she so nervous today? She needed to look like she belonged so that she would fit in better with all the wizards who actually knew what they were doing and had known what hogwarts was before they got their letter. She hoped nobody noticed how nervous she was. |

She attempted a warm look at the approaching human child. "I can help you with that. If you have a family vault, a guardian would have to grant you access. If you are what they call a 'muggleborn' we can convert money for you to deposit." the counter goblin explained. |

"Very well. We'll change your money and set up your vault." she said motioning to the table for the girl to set down her muggle world money. |

When a member of the school staff hand delivered her Hogwarts letter, Sloane acknowledged that all sorts of mystical beings she'd always thought imaginary might actually be real. But never once had goblins crossed her mind. Now faced with a bankful of them, she wasn't sure how she felt or what she thought about them... Were they as individualized and varied as human beings in both their countenance and disposition? Or were they all as grumpy and serious as they appeared? Was that just bank goblins that looked that way? Or were there goblins who worked outside the bank who were downright cheerful? As her mother nudged her forward, Sloane's mental image of goblins happily eating a picnic by Loch Shiel was broken. Frowning slightly for the interruption, she stepped into line behind a witch opening a vault and waited to be helped. |

Ashley put her key away. "No thank you," she said politely. "I have what I need." She thanked the goblin and left, smiling at the family behind her. She suspected that the kid was probably a muggle born too, just like her. |
Quote:
"It depends on if you want new or second hand items. 50 Galleons should buy all new items for you." Probably. She honestly hadn't checked to see what the going rate was for wands these days. "If you're on a budget, you ought to get your wand first. That's the thing you'll want to spend money on and get new." |

Miss Jane Howard, lately a governess to an old Pureblood family but now a new Ministry employee, paused in the entrance foyer to Gringotts and looked at the rows of counters on either side of the room. She located the counter for new vaults and walked over to wait. |
