:jumpin ahead:

We will assume Ellie explains the problem and manages to convince T'or to come assist.

Palasant is obviously against the idea but risking T'or again, but the very young, soft-spoken man makes a brief but convincing speech about "the necessity of loyalty."

Together Ellie, T'or and Palasant leave the grotto, swim back and walk the short distance to where Charlotte and Rallyn lie near each other in quite a bit of pain.

T'or places his small warm hands on Charlotte first. The arrows fall out of their own accord and she feels fine. T'or's face goes white, then the color slowly returns to his face.

He then repeats the process for Rallyn.

Meanwhile, Palasant stalks back and forth near the entrance to the grove in a crouch, as if he's looking for anyone to even come close.

Rallyn and Charlotte both receive 18 points of healing.
 

Victor

Victor walks quietly back toward the candle he'd set over by the ramp's landing, but brushes against a small stone that goes skittering over the rough patches of the road.

From behind him a low moaning can be heard and the sounds of incoherent yet excited voices are mixed among them.

One voice cries out monotone but clear... "Brains!"
 



"Unh... You have great talent T'or. Thank you. We should probably get you back where it's safe now."

"Thank you Ellie."

"Pala--" Rallyn notices Palasant's demeanor and cuts himself short. Sneaking closer he whispers, "Do you see something, Palasant?"
 

"Thank you very much, T'or." Charlotte says, rising.

She then looks around. "Rallyn is right... we should probably get back to the cave. We don't want a repeat of what just happened."
 

Rallyn

Palasant turns at Rallyn's words. "No, but I am concerned about T'or being out in the open and I'm still lacking my weapon. I don't detect the presence of any of these orcs."
 

Sildarin

Sh'ar agrees with Sildarin and together the two wander through the eastern passage, to the crypt. Sh'ar seems very weak and is having difficulty carrying his bardiche, but he struggles along.

Every few feet he stops to examine for footprints, but he also only finds some within the circular area where the group believes some kind of anti-magic existed.

Once inside the crypt proper, He ignores all the small doors set in the walls and instead checks the sarcophagus.

After a close inspection, he says, "This has not been disturbed as far as I can tell."
 

Charlotte and Rallyn

T'or mumbles bashfully at the thanks and after everyone is on their feet, Palasant rushes T'or back to the hidden grotto. This trip, like the last passage, is uneventful.
