[LPF] Uncertain Whereabouts

[Qik]

Arianna leans up against the door just in time to hear another thump, although quieter this time, coupled by what sounds like a muffled voice, as though its owner is gagged. She hears nothing else, and is pretty confident that she isn't missing anything that could otherwise be heard.

 

[Songdragon]

The halfling woman is up behind Arianna and whispers, "What do you hear?"

[Satin Knights]

Arianna puts her speargun and bolt away, and draws her longspear. Whispering "Something muffled, probably a prisoner."

After looking back to see everyone is ready, Arianna opens the door.

[Qik]

The wooden door gives an audible creak as it turns on its well-worn hinges.

Inside, the room is unlit, illuminated only from the glow of Ioseph's hammer and Saranna's ioun stone. The room itself seems to be a natural ending of the cave the group had been following, the door itself being on of the few man-made additions to it. The walls are decorated with parchment and tapestries adorned with a range of arcanic imagery, although a particular image of an ear seems to predominate. Centered against the far cavern wall, a massive, elaborately decorated golden chest of some sort glints in the half-light. In a far corner, Arianna spies the source of the sounds: an elder halfling man, bound & gagged, wearing a pair of spectacles with a crack in them. His eyes initially wide with fright, his expression turns to one of joy as he sees that you are not the ones who have been holding him captive. He nods at the group vigorously, trying to speak through his gag.

As he carefully goes over to the halfling, sticking to the wall as much as possible, not knowing who else may be in the room, Thuvian is on high alert.

 

[Songdragon]

Saranna presses her finger to her lips to the halfling as she looks for any signs of traps as the group proceeds.

[Qik]

The group enters the room cautiously, but sees nothing to warrant such caution: the halfling prisoner seems to be its only occupant, and Saranna sees nothing to suggest a trap of any sort.

 

[Satin Knights]

The big blue demon pulls a dagger while walking up to the halfling. He cuts off the gag over his mouth and in a dainty voice, "Did you request a rescue?"

 

[Qik]

Uncertain of how to react to the monstrous form before him, for a moment, the halfling is only able to nod feebly, his eyes wide at Arianna's bonded form.

"Y...y...yes.....who are you?" he asks shakily.

 

[sunshadow21]

Thuvian will whisper to Ioseph to give the halfling a once over with detect magic if he has it before he steps forward to talk. "We were sent to achieve a number of goals. Rescuing you was one of them. We had been led to believe that there were a few more guards, though, so I am wary of our chances of departure."
