Sulannus manages to wipe the surprised look off of her face, though her discipline isn't so great that it can erase the slight blush on her cheeks as she nods at Aeiyan.

"Bartleby," she says, "that...was a good idea. Talking to them. That kind of magic..." the elf hesitates, then manages to admit, "...transformations. It's outside what I can do. For now. I'm impressed."

With that Sulannus clears her throat. "The shield should be safe to take now, at any rate. You three there...if you can stop your bickering, we have a camp outside the tower. Can you be stealthy enough to avoid any hobgoblins we might have missed?"

At Tock's intervention, the two scuffling rogues stop for a second in awe and disbelief, then they let out a scream of happiness, and start jumping, dancing, laughing and patting each other on the shoulders "We're saved!!", while seemingly ignoring the other people around.

Meanwhile, the halfling rogue smiles silently with relief, then bows in front of Bartleby and Sulannus:

"Thank you sirs, you saved us from a fate worse than death... I can't express with words how grateful I am, but perhaps I can express with deeds. I don't own treasures to give you, but my hands and skills are at your service, for as long as you may need. My name is PenelBaris, but you can call me Swift."

"Swift, welcome. Speaking for myself, I'm happy to have you with us, but we have can offer no guarantees for your safety." The dwarf clasps his hand.

Hearing no one else reaching for the shield, Bartleby then stretches out his arm, and takes it. He straps it to his arm, and feels it on his forearm. "Feels nice."

The shield does deliver a pleasant feel, albeit together with an odd cold tinge to the arm. You feel more protected.

[OoC: while you're wearing the shield strapped to your arm, add +1 to your AC]

"Ah, yes... you are saved. Glad we could help you. I believe they way behind us is clear, if you wish to escape." says Tock to the two celebrating figures. He turns to the halfling, and lowers himself on one knee to match his height.

"And we would of course be glad to have your skills and expertise to aid us, Swift. I am Tock, and I welcome you to our group. What can you tell us of these rooms and caves? Do you know anything about what could lie ahead?"

"The way behind us is not entirely clear," Aeiyan muses, "for we rolled a large boulder into the gap between a cave and a stone-walled room. Also, the guard squad in those rooms could well have been replaced by now, so we might need to escort you out to our camp."

Aeiyan offers greeting to Swift and the other two, and introduces himself.

"I'm Sulannus," said the golden high-elf. She gazed meditatively on the halfling. On the one hand, he was almost certainly a thief. Little more than a pilferer of tombs and a ne'er-do-well.

The irony of her considering him that was entirely lost on her.

On the other hand, he was a halfling...and absolutely adorable. She couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of him in one of those cute little outfits, maybe one with curly toes like elf children wore...

Well that settled THAT.

"You can come with us. And yes, while we escort the others out, why don't you tell us a tale of what you encoutered down here?"

Swift: "Thank you lady... Indeed I'll admit we came down to this dungeon in search for treasure. The fortress above our heads was once the headquarters of a band of brigands, and is rumored to still harbor their riches, but nobody ever managed to find where they might be hidden. The tale said there was a catacomb of sort, but its entrance as well was never found. Until my acquaintances here had the right clue when a couple of ghouls occupied the cave... ghouls always flock to graveyards, so perhaps the cave was where the entrance to the catacombs was to be found. But they needed someone with good skills with locks and dungeons, and that's when they convinced me to come along. One night we lured the ghouls out of the cave with a couple of animal carcasses, made it past their lair and into the tomb, then locked ourselves behind the door. Unfortunately we only made it as far as this other room..."

(Then addressing Aeiyan): "Guards, you mentioned. There were no guards when we came here, only the ghouls. But as I said, it must have been years by now since we fell victim to the curse."

"The ghouls have been destroyed," Aeiyan replies. "We slew them, as well as a nest of stirges."

Sulannus nods. "It sounds like that's the same way we came in. Hobgoblins took up in the old tower above and blocked off the room the ghouls came into."

With a sigh she realizes, "Which means you don't know another way out either. Well, we were going to look around more anyway, I suppose."
