*Verra and Kinjon are still where they left them, Baeleth notes, as he pulls the rope back in and descends.*

(OOC: Kinjon recovers 5 HP)
*The magic of the potion helps the wound in the side knit up a bit, so his internal organs will no longer spill and instantly kill him if he is moved. Still, the smashed-in face is not looking good.*

*Baeleth looks on Kinjon’s smashed face with pity...but at least he can get the brave badger and Rhaka out of here now. He then moves both Verra and Kinjon into the passages, picking up anything Rhaka left behind as well, before closing the trapdoor and starting to move the pair down to the intersection where he left Rhaka earlier...*

*He brings the bodies downward slowly. Eventually, he sees Rhaka's back ahead in the dim light, blocking most of a small room. There is a bed, a bookshelf with a few books, and a table with papers on it and a pen. Most prominently, in the middle of the floor is some kind of pentagram in glowing red, covered in blood. There is an elven mage who is battered and seems to have been tied up with some rope that Rhaka has worked to untie. He spots Baeleth heading towards them with his keen elven vision.*
"Praise Corellon, one of the Tel'Quess! I guess you're the one who actually defeated that boneheaded conjurer, no doubt," there is no doubt from the inflection that the man is a high elf, also known as a sun elf or gold elf by some, "I thank you for my rescue! I only wish you had been in time to save the others as well. By the way, did you know that this rather eccentric human girl who claims that she didn't even fight him left me tied up for a good quarter of an hour on the giant sacrificial pentagram that leads to a horrible death in the Abyss--is she slow or something?"

*Nodding to the elf at the thanks, and shaking his head sadly when told the others are gone, Baeleth moves over to Rhaka and hands Kinjon gently into her care.*
“You’re most welcome, my friend, though it’s certainly a pity we couldn’t locate this place earlier. She did? Really? Well I suppose she was just being cautious...especially after what happened to the rest of our number against the conjurer. Let’s get these books and notes and get out of here, before he returns with reinforcements.”
*Baeleth moves around the room gathering the books and notes, before picking Verra up again, ready to go.*
“So, what shall we call you, my friend? And is there anything quick you can do about that pentagram, before we go?”

"Hmm...yes, I was suggesting taking these earlier as well. Unfortunately, the human girl with the pale hair is a bit of a bitch and doesn't really listen when spoken to, I'm afraid. Oh, I'm Dhistan Moonshadow, noted Wizard of Sil'derran...in training, Abjuration is my specialty, but I'm just beginning at it."
*He looks back to the pentagram.*
"It can't be removed by mundane methods. An Erase spell, a fairly simple dweomer, could handle it, but I'm afraid I don't even have that in my spellbook--which I think he has over there on the shelf, even if I wanted to prepare it."
*He glances at Verra.*
"Oho, who is the Lady there? She looks...hmm...she reminds me of my sister Nhalia, actually. A bit unusual, Nhalia is--I do hope this lady is okay. Need any help carrying her?"

“Now, now, there’s no need to disparage my companion...she just has her own outlook on life, and while I don’t necessarily agree with all of it, she has been a good friend thus far. I’m Baeleth Dawnmist, renowned Bladesinger...strangely enough, also in training,” he says with a grin.
“Guess we’ll have to leave it as it is then, as I don’t possess that particular dweomer either...”
“The lady is Verra, and while I could carry her by myself, things would certainly go faster with a little assistance, thank you Dhistan. So you say your sister Nhalia is a little unusual...well you might just be ready for Verra then,” Baeleth chuckles.
“Let’s go then...unless you’d like to wait for our friendly conjurer, that is...”

"While I'd like nothing more than to show him a piece of my mind, I think I'm afraid of whatever he would bring back with him to deal with a threat," Dhistan admits, "As to your friend, she talks back a lot for a human and is a bit nasty. When I asked her name, she said 'I'm the one who's not tied up', for instance, and she seems to have been accusing me for not doing something about the situation while I was tied up. All in all, not a very pleasant woman. Still, at least she untied me eventually. Now you're right, let us get Verra to safety. It would be illogical and inefficient to dawdle here until we were caught."
*Dhistan helps Baeleth bring back Verra, and Rhaka cradles Kinjon like a mother bear with her newborn cub, and they manage to make it back to the inn just as the priest arrives to heal Valerie.*
