Skáth

Skáth begins binding Béar's wounds, carefully stabilizing the arrow as he does so. Recognizing the necessity of healing as the arrow is removed, he calls for aid.

"I'll need someone strong to draw the arrow as I heal the damage from it's withdrawal. Quickly, before he bleeds out."

Cerallos

I thought we are rather close together, when did we go spread out as to where Longbow could have us all covered?

"What the... What are you doing?" Cerallos' face turns to anger and with his face paint, it creates a rather intimidating image. Cerallos remains still but looks for any opportunity to strike.

OOC:

The party is loosely grouped in the northern part of the room. Gavril is kneeling at the body of Ille Sorden, Dílis at his side. Béar went to the altar to examine the body of Vyl Corruck. The rest are gathered in the lantern light and for the most part have not indicated any specific action.

Deasaigh was able to 'get the drop' on the party due to the lack of expectation of such an action from a member of the group. He's backed against the metal door at the north wall, with the entire group in front of him. He can cover the entire group precisely because of their proximity to one another.

Cerallos

So is it feasible then that one of us could dive into the darkness and not be seen once there?

"Listen Longbow, don't get excited, I'm going to help our friend ok?"
Cerallos doens't move until Judas gives the ok.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Deasaigh

OOC:

Possible, but it's likely he'd get off a shot before the darkness concealed that person.

IC:

"I'm not excited, and if you wish to help Béar that's fine. I judge that the fresh blood on the altar will be sufficient to open the portal momentarily, and you'll be rid of me. Just don't make any sudden moves before I'm gone."

Deasaigh keeps the bowstring taut and the group well covered.

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

Gavril stands, his hands apart and making no sudden moves. "Well, this is an interesting turn of events. Why won't you be cooked like the last fellow who tried that," he says with a gesture toward the crispy corpse. He takes a step away from the others. "Please see to our warrior friend Skathe."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Deasaigh

"You'll be moving back to the group, please. I'd really rather not shoot another of you, Master Gavril, but I will if you force my hand."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Once More . . .

At that moment, the round metal portal behind Deasaigh hisses, and begins to roll aside into the wall. Unfortunately for the party, Deasaigh was expecting this and is not distracted by it for an instant.

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

With a smile Gavril says, "Shoot if you must, but I plan to stay here. Your way is open, why trouble yourself with us?" He shrugs, "Why turn on us at all. Had you said you had some knowledge of the portal we'd have like as not volunteered some blood to see what was beyond the door."

[sblock]Gavril being either too cocky or too stupid doesn't wish to be ordered about, especially not with a woman watching. He does however, get ready to put everything he's got into dodging a shot.[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Deasaigh

The way clear behind him, Deasaigh steps carefully back through the portal. As he moves, he speaks:

"Master Corruck misunderstood not only the sequence of events for opening the portal, but also the nature of the sacrifice, I think. My understanding is that is must be an unwilling sacrifice of another - there's little room for altruism in the service of what lies beyond. My suggestion is that you not attempt to follow - even if one of you decides to sacrifice another of your party, you'd not find what lies through here . . . pleasant."

Once through, he moves to one wall of the corridor revealed and bumps something with his shoulder. The portal begins sliding closed.

Anyone wishing to follow him has one action to do so before the portal is closed. Deasaigh continues to train his bow on the party.
