Niobe's Dilemma (Manzanita Judging)

[Bront]

OOC: no problem, live and learn.

Ogrin does not get any responce, and is unable to find a key on any of the men. With little problem, he manages to pop open the far door, and it opens to a bedroom. Someone appears to be sleeping in the bed, likely a woman, who has a rope tied around her and the bed twice (rather loose actualy, would be easy to squirm out of she weren't asleep).

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Lasair peeks from behind Ogrin, attempting to recognise the lady Niobe from the descriptions. If he moves in, she will help untie the woman.*

 

[Bront]

The woman looks like the reminiciants of portrats of Niobe, and she is extremely beautiful and appears to be sleeping peacefully and unharmed, though there is a little blood on her dress. You do find it odd that there is no knot or seam in the rope, which is simply looped twice around her. It is taught around her, but not excedingly.

Ogrin moves in, and glances back at the door, to see if it possibly was locked from the inside. He then moves towards the bound woman and gently tries waking her.

"My lady, please do not be alarmed. You are safe."

 

[Bront]

She does not respond or awaken.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Lasair examines her to see if she has been drugged or if the flow of her ziivash has been unnaturally altered to keep her comatose.*

 

[Bront]

Lasair suspects her Ziivash has been tampered with, perhaps by the strange rope.

Wil examines her as well, "I think it's a magical slumber."

OOC: I don't remember what Wil has exactly, but for purposes of simplicity, he has 2 Detect Magics left. If you want, he can cast one.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"The rope seems to have an effect on her ziivash. Remove it and she may be able to awaken," Lasair suggests.

 

[rln]

Ogrin just stares at Lasair, but realises she must have some strange aversion to touching other people as she doesn't just go ahead and do it herself. "Terrific idea", he mutters as he unsheaths his dagger and moves to cut the rope, preferrably without touching it.

 

[Bront]

Ogrin has no trouble cutting the rope. Though she does not awaken immediately, her posture shifts a bit, and she appers to be sleeping more naturaly.

"The magic aura around her has broken," Wil reports.
