Cerallos taking further precautions

Cerallos surveys the scene, asks Dorothea if she is alright, then looks to Athelstan and says,
[COLOR=Lime[I]]"I'm not taking any chances, I'm going to get my rope and tie these two up and maybe have a better look at them.[/I]"[/COLOR]

With that, Cerallos heads upstairs to his room.

Tying Up Loose Ends

Cerallos is greeted by Eadon at the top of the stairs. "What's going on down there? I'd love to have been in on it, but Master Sorden has me guarding his door, and I couldn't come down! Is everything alright?"

Illé Sorden pokes his head out the door as well. "Is everything alright now? Am I in any danger? I was trying to complete my nightly mourning ritual, but I was so distracted by all the noise I couldn't finish! Is it over?"

Ha Ha!

Waiting for Cerallos to return with the rope, Béar will roll the small creature over onto its belly and then put his foot (and a hefty amount of weight) square onto his back pinning it to the floor. He will then stand ready with his mace in case the creature is only faking lame.

Béar Éag rolls 3d6, getting [1,6,4] = (11) to keep it on the floor.

Scath

Scath, a bit nauseous from the swing, will move to a high ground spot and sit and take in the situation.

Tying Up Loose Ends

Also tumbling out of their rooms to greet Cerallos are Abel Still and Exter Shury. Apparantly, Marten, Ditmore, and Josiah's overindulgence last night caused them to sleep through all the ruckus.

Downstairs, Dorothea rises and staggers to the body of what once was her adopted son Aved. Seeing the ruin his transformation and subsequent combat made of him, she collapses in tears, gathering the body to her breast.

Kurdy Deel, noticing the relatively dim lighting, begins going 'round the room lighting some torches.

The unconscious ghouls do not move.

OOC:

Hmmm, motion sickness in a flying creature could be an interesting disadvantage . . .

Gavril

Shouting up the stairs, Gavril says, "I think the danger is past, I suggest we all assemble to see if everyone is okay." Gavril cleans his blades and they slide into their scabbards with a soft hiss of well oiled steel on steel. "I don't suppose there is any chance that was all just a bad dream?" He sighs, "most of what I've read would suggest these children have become ghouls, but normally that only happens after a few days to those killed by other ghouls." He shakes his head, "I don't know what it means, but I suggest we be on the look out for more ghouls." He takes a chair and shifts about trying to find a comfortable position for his leg. That flying kick from the stair rail is gonna hurt for a while.

Cerallos heads to his room

"Yes, Master Eadon and Master Sorden, everything seems to be under control now. We were awokened by Kurdy yelling that the inn was being attacked by bandits, so we ran down stairs to find three ghouls that Mrs. Dorothea said were here children. Well we tried not to harm them but they weren't exactly taking it easy on us. Unfortunately, one of them was killed I believe. As for the other two, they seem subdued but I'm not risking anything, so I'm going for my rope to tie them up until we know for sure. Mrs. Dorothea might could use some comfort and it would probably be best if she is taken upstairs. Please Master Sorden, go back to your rituals. I will let you know if there is anything else. Good evening, sirs."

Cerallos explains the situation to Abel and Exter as well. He then gets to his room, grabs his rope, takes a quick drink from his waterskin, and says a prayer for the fallen that his former master taught him. He grabs his quarterstaff as well and heads back downstairs.

When he gets downstairs, he sees Bear with his mighty foot planted on one of the ghouls.
"I see you are extra cautious like me, Master Bear. Where is our little grey friend?"

Cerallos looks to Dorothea and asks, "Mrs. Dorothea, why don't you go on upstairs." Cerallos, depending on Dorothea heeding his advice, will proceed to gather the two up back to back and securely tie them up.

"Master Kurdy, thanks for shedding a little light on the matter."

Cerallos

"You may be right, Master Gavril, but if these are "undead" maybe we should tie all 3 of them up to be sure. With the fight they put up I can't imagine the anger they might have have if they wake up and see us all carrying on. Perhaps when Mrs. Dorothea has calmed a bit, me might ask about the events leading up to this. For example, when was the last time she saw her children and what were they doing? I certainly prefer not to run into anymore like this, at least not 'til well after sunrise."

Cerallos puts his rope down close to one of the ghouls and looks about at the others. I hope everyone doesn't think I'm too paranoid.
Cerallos spots the little grey fella and approaches, "I don't know your name, sir, I am Cerallos, but I wanted to thank you with your help and timing with that one. I was afraid I was going to lose an ear, if not both."

Interlude

For Skáth only:

[sblock]Two things:

First: We've been jockying back and forth with the spelling of your name. The Gaelic for Shadow is Scáth, but I like the k better than the c -- I think it looks cooler. The same with the accent mark on the 'a' -- it's a little more trouble to copy/paste every time, but I like the way it looks. Of course, we're not truly using Gaelic - just taking the basics so names and words have a similar sound, so we're free to spell however we like. It's your character, so you can spell his name however you wish, and I'll follow your lead.

Second: Something's about to happen in the game, and I just wanted to remind you that Skáth knows TWO queens - one he likes and one he's afraid of. You'll see the significance soon.[/sblock]
