Theodus sighs. "I don't know what ye plan ta do then fer a distraction or whatnot to delay that scoundrel Yalgad, but I'd sure like ta destroy his ill-gotten gains meself.
I don't think the Duke'd care s'much as a mayor would, least o' all when it comes to a rival what wants ta depose 'im......an' this place's got plenty o' rock fer its base, I don't think a fire 'ere'd spread beyond the manor. Besides that, Yalgad's men'd prob'ly be preoccupied puttin' out th' fire afore it gets too far outside the kip, 'specially with the abundance o' water 'round 'ere.
Might even draw in some o' Yalgad's men from the Beauty or Avonia when they hear 'bout the fire, as we're busy makin' a deal wit' the Duke, so we might 'ave fewer scallywags ta fight through when's we get there. Not that I don't mind a good brawl, but we've kinda worn ourselves out a bit t'day an' we ain't even run o'er to th' Duke's yet nor back ta the Avonia....
Anyways, we'd best get movin' wit' whate'er plan soon, or Yalgad's goin' ta be well along with fulfillin' his own scheme. I suppose we'll leave the Sorcerer's tower out o' the plan, but I still suspect 'e'd be the mage Yalgad's paid off ta 'elp with his coup. That scab o' a barnacle's gotten away a'ready, an' we ain't fast 'nough to catch up, so we can't give 'im what end 'e deserves, we gotta just git off o' this stinking pirate-rock. I've 'ad me fill o' this hive o' scum an' villainy.
Ezieer an' Azeem, seems ye ought ta raid t'other basement whiles Walfibalf loots th' armory, seein' as 'e's the biggest muscle we got, an' I'll guard th' lass while I help this barnacle-brained elf check out t'other doors an' passages 'round 'ere, afore we meet ye back on th' first floor an' head out th' way we came in. The elf thinks 'e's so smart an' observant, 'e can help me raid this basement an' haul any loot, after 'e got the Lady 'ere all singed an' nearly got 'er dead by 'is typical elven selfishness. No complainin' now elf, ye'd best help out now an' maybe ye'll git out o' here wit'out chokin' on me blade.... Lady Karnom, Master Uli, good Captain, ye should go wit' Walfibalf methinks an' arm yerselves or somethin', aye? Azeem an' Ezieer, do ye agree we ought ta burn down Yalgad's kip just before we go out th' door?"
Theodus finishes his long-winded little rant, and waits for a response from the others. After that, he'll fetch the girl from the nearby corridor and bring her to this room, then go about checking the remaining doors and passages of this basement, with Elendil's help most likely, since he and the elf seem to be having some luck in finding secret passages and such lately. He won't go too far down any given passage, wanting to be gone within the next 5 minutes at most, before Yalgad gets too much of a headstart with executing his scheme.
