Quarion looks surprised when the deep voice issues from Aletheia's fair throat. He smiles a rare smirk, but it vanishes quickly. "Ah, I apologize. I forget that I am the only one who speaks it sometimes. The guardian said, "Go brother, and may the gods of nature aid your quest." He also reminded me of the rings." He fiddles with the rings, jingling them in his hand. "Unfortunately, I do not see how these will aid us. If they do as the guardian says, they will will save one of us injury at the expense of another of our own. Oddly enough, this gives more weight to Aletheia's warning about supremely good creatures. I have the feeling, however, that the druids, and this guardian, are intent on maintaining balance rather than furthering a cosmic good agenda."
Quarion concentrates, detecting the aura on the rings. "Hm. A powerful magic, but not one that I am comfortable using," he finishes, looking pointedly at the "warrior" of the group, Eanos.

OOC: I'd like to decide what to do with the rings first, but I'm ready otherwise.
Eanos, human monk
Eanos raises an eyebrow. "My misgivings about the rings mirror your own. Do we know if they work only one direction? Is one for receiving the blows, or would a pair simply split all pain between themselves regardless of source?"
[sblock=OOC]If we can figure out how they work (i.e. which is the "receiving" ring), we can throw the other on Alethia, I suppose, since I think she's still lowest on hit points, yes? If we can't determine it, we should maybe sell them in Orussus and get something that might be more useful in the fight that might be coming[/sblock]

OOC: Is there a way to maybe put the rings on and test them on the move? Perhaps inflict some minor damage while wearing the rings, or seeing if putting them on does anything.
Quarion looks at Eanos. "Eanos, if you would?" The elf offers the monk one of the rings. When Eanos takes it, Quarion slides one ring on his finger and waits for Eanos to do the same. Quarion gives the ring a moment to indicate mentally its use. If nothing happens, he tries to mentally pass Eanos' injuries to himself. If nothing happens he tries to pass his own injuries to Eanos. If nothing happens then, he simply nods and takes out his dagger, which he uses to quickly slash himself across the wrist.

ooc: you could definately test the rings as you travel.
When quarion slides the ring on his finger he feels to small sensations. One of them is that he feels somewhat protected, assured. The other is a slight connection to Eanos, as if he is vaguely aware of him.
When eanos takes a slight injury and Quarion wishes the wounds to be brought upon him, he feels a hot sting. Simultaniously, eanos feels a slight warm glow and somehow undamaged.
ooc: as an immediate action, Quarion transfers all of the damage that Eanos took upon himself.
here is the exact description:
[sblock=Circles of Bonding]
These two golden cords are both tied into a loop. They can be used if two persons wear one of them around his or her finger (taking up a ring slot).
Once per day as an immediate action (any) one of the two wearers can elect to take the damage from a single attack or spell effect (in such case the damage suffered for the duration of a single round from a single effect) instead of the wearer of the other cord. This damage changes to untyped damage and bypasses all forms of resistance or damage reduction.
The character who elects to take the damage instead of the other person must be aware of the damage being dealt and have a direct line of sight with the other person.
The decision to transfer the damage may be made after the exact amount of damage is known but must be made in the same initiative turn as it is made as an immediate action.
Once one of the wearers of the ring activate it and thus takes damage instead of the other person, the rings cannot be activated again that day.
A ring of a pair only works with one other ring, being the one created in the same pair. Another ring or set cannot be added to the effect of a single pair.

"Yes, they could be... Do you think they can transfer healing? If so, it would surely be best for Aletheia to wear one, and... Eanos, the other. We can test the healing tomorrow." The next day, Quarion will damage himself some, and then have Aletheia cast a cure spell on herself while wearing one of the rings, to ensure that healing is transferred.
OOC: Did we receive any XP from the "dungeon"?

"In any case, I'm glad we extricated ourselves from that temple - I felt we were arguing in circles, though the feeling of indetermination in our objectives and goals hasn't ended, and that's a situation I abhorr." says Odno. "Not being able to see what's beyond makes me very uncomfortable. In any case, I wish we were already at Graven's state."
