The dwarf's eyes are wild as he sees that he is overwhelmed by the dreaded giths. His houlders slumps and he drops his weapon but Kama'Zer is surprised to suddenly see a dagger in the hand of her opponent. The drawing of the smaller weapon had been deftly concealed in the surrender of the larger one. The warlord raises her guard but mistakes the intent of the dwarf and he seizes the opportunity to shove the blade into his own heart with a dreadful snarl on his face.
-''Go to hell.'' he says in a last gurgle and crushes to the floor.
Smack on target for your Insight, you didn't anticipate his move.
The fight won, the comrades take a short breath but cannot ignore that somehwere in this large asylmum, a messenger is rushing to warn a man named Krestos that the building as been breached. How will he react? The sight of the dead dwarf give them a foreboding sensation. What if he choose to a scorched earth policy?
OOC
I am busy tomorrow. Well, okay, I am actually spending all day playin board games and Xbox with a few friends. I should get this moving sunday evening.

"Are any of the others alive?" asks Rabbit as he bends to search the cultist's robes for any clue as to what he was doing here. "If there's nobody to question, we should keep moving as fast as possible, before they have time to set up more defenses."
7 Rabbits spots a young deformed man peeking out carefully out a room adjoining to the center hall where the dwarf commited suicide. He gasps in horror at the carnage.
-''What you do? You kill people dead, you be bad men!'' he exclaims.
He is hunched and wears plain white clothes. He clearly has the intelligence of a young child.
Mri'Thas raises an eyebrow when the dwarf impales his heart with the dagger. When the dwarf of his side questioned about survivors, the mage replies. "I think I knocked a guard out. Don't think a smack of my crane could have killed him. He's outside."

Callen dusts himself off and leans against his staff heavily. All this running around and combat takes its toll on the old man. Moving beyond the main entry room, Callen joins the others in the room where the dwarf perished.
"No, we're not bad men," 7 Rabbit says kindly. "Killing people is okay if it's in self defense."
OOC
Heh, heh, heh.
He pulls out the Laughing Man. "Have you seen anyone that looks like me around here? Ever seen this before?" He attempts to make his expression and voice as non-threatening as possible.
7 Rabbit appeases the young man. He squints curiously at the Laughing Man.
-''No. This is nice. I don't have nice things like this. They take it from me, my nice things and my necklace, when I come here. Then they lock me with people. But I be nice, they let met out and give better food if I clean rooms. Are you the family of people down here? I hope and hope but my mommy never visits.'' he says sadly.
"Why do they keep them trapped in here? They are doom. Killing them would be merciful compared with what they have done to them" States the githyanki, matter-of.factly, oblivious of humans' ways.

Kama'zer wipes the blood off her scimitar while looking around the room. She wants to see what other exits there are and where more foes might come from. She does NOT sheath her blade. "We do not have much time likely. Krestos is likely on his way and we should be as well." Turning to the young man, Kama'zer asks "Have you seen another prisoner that is a dwarf who perhaps looks like my comrade here?" while pointing at 7 Rabbit. "His name is 6 Eagle. Also, do you know of a Gith prisoner held anywhere here?"

Ts'iri stands guard and watches as the others search, rest and talk to the boy. She was surprised that she'd been unhurt after her tussle with the dogs. Maybe this cursed dagger of hers brought her good luck.
-''Gith?''' he looks confused. ''Oh, like you, you say. Yes, there is one like you.''
Quote:
My name is 7 Rabbit. This is Kama'zer. 6 Eagle is my brother."
-''You brother of him?! But you look nothing like him. He much stronger! No fat, he be warrior! I show him, I show him! I be Jim and I his friend!'' The young man says excitedly showing them the way.
OOC
I presume you follow, I presume your guard is very much up. No ones detect treachery from the simpleton.
While on their way, when asked about Krestos, the young man shrugs.
-''Don't know name. Only know Brakar and Madrok, big bosses. You kill Brakar. Now Madrok be mad. He be devil man and a magic man.''
He leads the heroes down a flight of stairs and they find a corridor full of cells but suspiciousy empty of guards. Having been alarmed, they must have gathered somehwere.
-''Here he be. The one you look for!'' Jim says, excited.
The heroes look into a cell and they see a bored looking genasi. He is a chained prisoner, mostly naked and undeniably gorgeous with a golden body. He presumably has an affinity with earth and the gold metal in particular.
Picture
-''He be the one we call 'Sexy Gold'.'' says with what seems like a leer. The young man might be simple minded, but he apprently knows what he likes.
OOC
Eh eh.
Six Eagle, Sexy Gold, Six Eagle, Sexy Gold... Say it real fast just for fun.
PS: Do you have any idea how tough it is it to find a proper picture of a MAN with gold body paint? If 6 Eagle was a woman, I'd have had hundreds to choose from, but for a man it was either this or a guy walking the gay pride parade.
-''Uhm, I told you I prefer to be called Murau.'' says the genasi, embarassed.

"I assume that this is NOT your brother, 7 rabbit?" Kama'zer says dryly while looking in the other nearby cells for any dwarf or gith prisoners. "Or perhaps Muaru here can tell us where to find 6 Eagle instead?" she wonders aloud.
"Or perhaps Murau here can tell us where to find 6 Eagle instead?" she wonders aloud.
-''Well, it all depends.'' says the golden boy, moving languidly toward the front of his cell, as far his chains would allow. ''Here I am, chained to a wall. A mere moment ago I was bemoaning the fact that I had nothing left but my life!''
His voice takes a mock dramatic turn as he speaks.
-''But as it happens, I was wrong. I am not completely dispossessed; I have information. Surely you understand that I am loath to part with this information because then I would have nothing once more. It's a despairing feeling. On the other hand, if I was free... why, a free man is a generous man!'' he says, indicating his chains.
"There is no need of such dramatization." the githyanki looks for approval from the others. "But for your own physical integrity I hope you are not bluffing." Mri'Thas cocks his head to Soldier towards the man. "Use that big axe of yours."
