[QUOTE="Tellerian Hawke, post: 7305961, member: 6790669"] Respen looks around the room, trying to solve the puzzle of Gus’ current circumstances. [gm] No one has disturbed this place in several days. You find a spot in the corner where Gus has been going potty. You also find the partial corpses of three dead rats, which Gus must have somehow trapped, killed, and eaten. Lastly, you find an overturned potion beaker, which Gus must have been responsible for. Despite this, Gus looks starved and desperate. What little he managed to scavenge was obviously inadequate. Gus is in desperate need of proper quantities of food and water. [/gm] It occurs to Respen that Gus would have made considerable noise during his time here; playing a hunch, Respen opens the door to the outer hallway, and finds that hallway empty. The reason that the guards did not notice the noises Gus made is because they were never there to begin with. [B]Nel responds to Respen, mentally[/B] [COLOR=red]~Among the Drow, my pet, the terms Man-Toy and Pillow-Pet are used with great affection; they are private, intimate terms. I might call you these names in private, or perhaps in front of Clare, but I promise you that I will not use these names in public, not even among close and/or trusted friends.
