"I think I already voiced my preference that we leave this place for the night, and get a fresh start tomorrow. And I think Shaimon agrees with me. Nevertheless, if it is the will of the group to remain here, I will stay, if only to make sure that some of the rest of you don't manage to get into even more trouble in my absence."

 

[industrygothica]

"Yes, stay." The dwarf was barely cognizant of the words he had spoken, and his eyes bounced curiously back and forth as if he were contemplating whether or not they were his words at all. But then it all made since.

"Yep," he says again, more confident this time. "I say we stay here fer the night. It's late after all, wouldn't want the guard comin' down on us fer wanderin' around like that."

Rogash walked aimlessly around the room as he spoke, finding himself staring through the luminescent fluid bubbling behind the glass. "'Sides, all the baddies are gone outta here now, right?" He taps on the glass with his thick forefinger, barely listening for an answer as his minds drifts elsewhere.

Rogash walked aimlessly around the room as he spoke, finding himself staring through the luminescent fluid bubbling behind the glass. "'Sides, all the baddies are gone outta here now, right?" He taps on the glass with his thick forefinger, barely listening for an answer as his minds drifts elsewhere.

Shai raises an eyebrow at the glass tapping, fingers still holding to the scruff of Dyspeer's neck like some kind of childhood blanket.

"Well, that's the trouble, innit?" he says. "We don't rightly know if there's something else hiding here. We didn't see that pile of gloop that almost got Uulark, and who knows what other kind of beasties that wizard was fiddling with."

Shai's gaze involuntarily shifts to take in Talashia and her new familiar, though he quickly shakes his head and addresses the full group again.

"Something went throwing things around earlier, and just 'cause we haven't found it don't mean it's not here somewhere. Last thing I want is to sleep with a critter I can't see wandering around."

[sblock=OOC]Shai's spooked enough now that he'll probably blather on about what a bad idea staying is, but he's loyal enough (and generally bends to stronger personalities) that he's basically only making noise.

If everyone else wants to stay and look around or try to camp out or whatever, I'm totally fine with that, so don't feel like you have to 'convince' Shai IC before we proceed. If the majority says we're searching, go ahead and assume Shai has agreed and is just playing nervous nelly in the hope that Worrying Won't Make It So. [/sblock]

"So, by my reckoning, that's Uulark, Buurt, and Shai who wish to leave for the night, and Rogash, Caerwyn, and possibly Talashia who wish to stay. Shazi's and Dyspeer's votes, if they get any say in the matter, will presumably offset each other. So that leaves us right back where we started, does it not?

OOC: Whoever said democracy was the best way to run an adventuring party?? Oh, yeah, it was Scotley!

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia tapped a fingertip to the little divot between her nose and upper lip thoughtfully.

"Sleeping here is out of the question," she says. "It's far from secure, especially with the bottle throwing unaccounted for. Still...getting back in will be harder by daylight. We should at least see what's behind the door before we go."

She looks over at the dwarf. "Rogash, that's your specialty, I believe?"

Uulark readies his trusty spear and moves up behind Rogash. "Let me get in position here to poke the next pile of goo we run across! And, really, Talashia, we don't mind excusing you for a moment alone if you need to pick your nose that badly."

Shai looks down to his wolf, then nods. He draws his bow and holds his ground, hoping nothing comes rushing through the door.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"I guess that makes sense." Concedes Caerwyn to Talashia. He then draws his sword and looks to Rogash. " Sis, I guess you really need to get some feather pillow sleep time, so I suppose that is the best course for you."

"Oh the door right, yes, let me see..." The dwarf examines the door with some care if he finds no trap he'll open it.

[sblock=Rogash]As Rogash gets up close to the door he realizes that unlocking it won't be necessary; the hinges have been ripped out of the frame and the door is merely resting gently against it, like someone picked up it and set it back into the frame.[/sblock]
