"Books?" Korg intones "Books that you? Korg see you fall in water and not come up."A confused look washes over the stout figure, unsure what to make of his rescuers."To whom are you speaking of?" The dwarf prisoner asks"You not Books? You look like Books." Korg answers"I am Endrin, King of Hammerstone. I am most assuredly not a stack of books. You overgrown goblin.""OK, Korg sorry to bother puny human's meditation." The giants continue on to the next cell door."Hey! Aren't you going to free me so that we may have a fair fight? Or at least grant me the dignity to die with a weapon in my hand!" Endrin shoutsGronar stops and turns to face Lothred, "Elfy know puny human in there?""Surely you do not expect me to believe that you are in fact that dense as to mistake me for an elf? I am insulted by your insinuation." Lothred answersGronar grabs Lothred around the neck and pulls him to Endrin's cell door, "Elfy get good look at puny human, puny human look like friend?""Well, I guess I know who the alpha male is here, and that is a puny dwarf not a puny human." Lothred chokes out from between Gronar's massive fingers"Maybe we should let him go?" Omar speaks up"Uh.... No. That would be cutting even more into our treasure haul, you wouldn't want me to have to kill him after I give him all his stuff back would you? No?" Paquito repliesThe party continues on as Luciann and Finrod pass before the cell door."Hey you tree huggers, I know something about the rest of your tribe. Free me that I may stand again against my captors and shall impart my knowledge of your fellow grass eaters." Endrin shoutsLuciann and Finrod debate for a few moments before acquiescing to the dwarf's request, Finrod slams his sword down upon the iron chains and in time breaks each one off."Return to me my belongings and I shall tell you of what I have seen and heard." Endrin demandsFinrod runs to find Paquito, only to trip over the dwarves belongings which were piled outside of the cell door. Looking down the cell block, Finrod locates the party near the end of the hall patiently waiting for the elves to come and check for secret doors. Finrod returns the dwarven king's items to Endrin, who in turn tells the elves that a score of elves were led from the cell block this morning on their way to be sacrificed to the troll's deity, that was about three hours ago. The elves thank him and Endrin stomps out of his cell and turns back towards the way the party came, intent on destroying a few trolls before his time is up.The elves reach the rest of the party, and commence searching for secret doors at the end of this cell block as well.Paquito wanders off down the south side of the cell block, peering in through the cell door windows. He passes the first door and looks up at the second door and notices that it is unique to the other cell doors. This door has large silver seals adorning the four corners of the door, and silver bars block egress from the cell door window. A warm soft light seems to glow from under the cell door and through the cell door's window."Found it!" The elves shout as a jubilant Gronar and Korg pound the wall trying to loosen the hold on the secret door.Paquito saunters up to the intriguing cell door, he thinks about peering in through the window but, decides against it and instead bends over as he walks in front of the door and looks through the key hole in the door. Looking in, Paquito sees the most beautiful creature he's ever laid eyes on. She sits on the floor, in the middle of a binding circle, her modesty covered only by red down feathers which sprout from her back and wrap around her like a blanket. Her eyes are the color of the deep ocean, blue, green and bottomless. Her teal hair cascades down and around her shoulders like a waterfall as she shifts a little towards the door."Free me." Her melodious words pluck at Paquito's heartstrings, and he lunged for the cell door's handle.Paquito pulls with all his might, but cannot get the door to budge. Frantic, he tightens his grip on the handle and places both hooves on the door frame and tries again to yank the door off it's hinges. Again he fails to move the door."What is your name my soon to be hero?" The woman's voice soothes Paquito's racing heart."I am King Paquito Flaccido, Mariner of the Swallowing Sea, Sage of the Tauran Inquisition, and Leader of .... well... my own harem. Perhaps my great deeds have reached your fine auditory appendages even here in this dark, dank, dingy dungeon? Yes?""My, you have an enlarged ego. By chance that wouldn't be to make up for your surname would it?" "Flaccido is my name, it is not what I do. Yes?""Show me.""Gronar! I need your help!""Pokey, Gronar going through secret treasure door. Gronar not have time to open more doors.""But I need this one open! Please! Pretty please!" "Pokey pathetic excuse for giant, Pokey need to grow muscle and open door by self.""I already did part of that, but it's not helping me open the door."Frustrated, Gronar goes to see firsthand what all the trouble is for. "Why Pokey not look in window?""Uh.. The view is fine down here, helps my back. Yes?"Gronar shrugs his shoulders and grips the door frame preparing to tear the door free, he glimpses inside the room however and stops his intended goal, and releases his grip on the door. Inside Gronar sees a red bat winged, red devil tailed, demoness with horns adorning her black haired head."What? What's the matter?""Pokey want Gronar to let demon out?""Wha? No, I want the beautiful one out. If there's a demon in there it can stay in there, plus all the more reason to free the damsel in distress. Yes?""What is you name, you big strong man. You look like you can handle all that I have to give.""Gronar not going to tell demon lady what Gronar name is! Demon lady leave Pokey alone.""But, I seek what you seek, to be alone with the flaccid poking one. Free me so that I may attain that goal.""Yes! Free her so that goal can be attained! Yes?" Paquito cheered as he shoved Gronar's hands back onto the door frame."Gronar not going to free demon lady.""I am not a demon, what you see is an illusion placed upon me by the hateful trolls. Free me and I shall show you I speak the truth.""See, she's not a demon lady. You have no idea what it's like being on the road with all guys, or.. maybe... you do. Just let me in for a little while, I'll be good.""Look in window Pokey. Look at demon lady." Paquito stands up a good distance from the door window. "Pokey not see anything from back there, Pokey get closer." Gronar says as he shoves Paquito's head into the cell door window, however physical forces kept the rest of Paquito's body from getting any closer. The force of Gronar's shove slammed Paquito's head into the cell door, and Paquito fell to the floor."Elfy! Come here." Gronar whistled at Lothred"I am...." Lothred caught the look in Gronar's eyes. "Yes, coming right away.""Elfy what you see in room?""A succubus." Lothred replies"Lies! All lies, get up Paquito and free me so that I may prove them wrong as I ravish you in right in front of them."Gronar helps Paquito to his feet and turns him towards the cell again. "What Pokey see now?"Paquito's vision clears and the form of beautiful bat winged demoness with horns and a tail come into view. "Okay, so she's a demon. Nobody's perfect, let me in anyway. At least now I'll know ahead of time what I'll be waking up next to.""No, we go now Pokey." Gronar says as he drags Paquito away from the door.Lothred peers into the cell at the succubus and studies the pentagram she is imprisoned within."Ooh, does the tiefling think he is man enough to free me? I want to see you succeed, unlike you flaccid friend.""No, actually I was studying your little magic circle there. I think I can add two symbols and have your skills transferred to my service. I think I will remember where to find you, I'm sure you're not going anywhere anytime soon. See you around slave." Lothred walks away amid screams of frustration from the succubus and Paquito.</blockquote>
