Dak, seeing the cast of the Wall Sprit's eyes, drops his own eyes in shame.
"I'm sich a..."
He licks his muzzle, eyes darting sideways to avoid the great stone visage. Raising his face, the slight sibbecai sqares his narrow shoulders.
"Mr. Spir't, I am sorry I hollered at you. I do appreciate the infermation wot you have so graciously told, but I ain't got no right to holler at such a great and fine spir't as yourself. I place m'sef in your service."
"We gone make this right, sir."
He reaches out tentatively and touches the wall, then presses his whole body against it, whispering some secret to the spirit.
[ooc: He gives the spirit his truename.]

OOC: Do any of our knowledges apply to figuring out what these under-dwellers are?

Phaern flits up to Dak, patting him on the back. "Not to worry Dak, our spirit friend here has given us all the information we need to set things straight. I am sure he will be even more understanding when we have healed these bones. Come lets find out where these despoilers lair that we might make things right."

[ooc: Dak has a ring of creature loresight...do unconcious creatures get to make a will save?]
[seriously.]
Dak raises his eyes to his friend, his canine face still resting on the cool stone wall. He smiles and gives him a good-natured wink. Licking his muzzle, he says to the wall-spirit,
"You are old and wise, Mister Spir't. I reckon you know a-lots about things in these caves...a-lots and lots. I reckon you even know the name of that earth serpent....I reckon if you want him back on your side, you figger that name'd be a great he'p to anybody tryin' to he'p you out. You reckon you know that ol' serpent's name, Mister Spi'rt?"

YOU HAVE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND WEAPONS NOW. GO AND DEAL WITH THE BETRAYERS, AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF REWARDED BY THE EARTH, AND TROUBLED NO MORE BY DREAMS.
*The woman seems to not hear the voice and struggles slightly in Darthallys' grip. She really can't break free, but she seems to be doing it mostly out of habit.*
"So, you going to kill me or rape me or feed me to your dogs?" she asks, her voice dripping acidic scorn. She seems supremely indifferent to her own fate.
OOC - Sure, creature loresight works on unconscious creatures, but if you are trying to find out anything that's a deeply guarded secret, I will give them a Will save.

Of their name, you are not certain, as the memories are hazy, and you seem to be unable to delve very deep. Perhaps the battle has shaken your concentration. But what you do see is a small group of humans living in caves, far away from the others. They hid when the dragons came, hid deep in the earth, deeper than anyone had been before. They knew nothing of the dramojh, but in the eternal darkness of the earth they began atrocities that have been unmatched by any but them. That is all you know for now.

*In your mind alone, you hear the spirit's thundering voice.* YOU HAVE GIVEN A GIFT OF GREAT MAGNITUDE, AND SUCH GENEROSITY IS NOT EASILY FORGOTTEN. I DO KNOW THE NAME OF THE SHADOW SERPANT, THE NAME HE CALLS HIMSELF ALONE IN THE DARKNESS. Shess'kareth.

Phaern is thuroughly impressed with Dak at the moment. His ability to deal with the earth spirit has suprised the little spryte. Not only did he make the spirit flustered enough to tell the group explicitly what needed to be done to reset the bones (a rather vague objective till now) but he had also won the spirit's respect for the group. Patting Dak on the back, Phaern heads off to find out how Atlas and Darthallys are doing with the prisoner. Seeing the woman struggle feebly beneath Darthallys' grip, Phaern says to Atlas & Dar, "Get anything from her yet?" in common.

Dak shuts his eyes, and breaths a deep sigh of relief. He whispers,
"Mr. Spir't, I thank you from the bottom of my soul. You cain't know how grateful I am. Thank you much...we gone set this right. We gone set them old bones right."
He spends another moment pressed against the cold stone, and then rejoins the group.
With a start, he remebers Lykiss' amulet. Smiling, he touches the pendant to tear on his left cheek, and holds it up, turning in place to give the old mojh a panoramic view of this singular place. Dak is especially careful to dwell on the spirit and the white-skinned captive.

*Kelthet simply watches, being far out of his element. He keeps his eyes carefully peeled for any further visitors, or any tricks from the prisoner.*
