IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part V

"Crazy?" Kushnak half-asks before turning his attention to the remaining door.

Eskard, on the otherhand, is intrigued and moves closer to the man's cell.

"Either that or he's talking in code. I don't have the patience to determine which!"

Ignoring the verbal slings, Bazrim just moves to the door to move into the next room.

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel examines the door and finds neither traps nor even locks.

The man's gaze fixates on Eskard as the half-orc approaches. "Why are you looking at me like that? My head hurts."

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel looks back at the awakened man. "If you aren't crazy are you at least useful? How'd you come to be in here?"

 

[Dichotomy]

The man turns and looks at Erdolliel. His face breaks into a grin, and shortly thereafter, he begins to giggle. Soon, the man sounds like a giggling schoolchild with mirth that, though seemingly misplaced, appears genuine.

Bazrim becomes more and more confused from the situation gives his suggestion. "We are getting nothing from him. Let's leave him and keep moving."

 

[o3caudata]

"Eskard, keep an eye on him for the moment, I don't know that he means us any harm, but he very well may. Let's see what's beyond this door." Kushnak says, immediately turning toward the door.

Eskard remains where he stands and looks at the man with a mixture of confusion and suspicion.

Erdolliel hides before opening the door and moving into the room.[sblock=oc]hide+13[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

As Erdolliel cloaks herself in shadows, the odd man stops abruptly stops giggling. "Gods," he says with despair, "I'm still in this awful place." His eyes drift to Eskard's sword, and the man lunges forward.
[sblock=OOC]I'm giving Eskard and the guy a surprise round, since Eskard was the only one paying attention to him. Eskard won initiative.[/sblock]
