The dungeon is settling down again, as the criminals and madmen tire and remain in their cells. Ru, Calahan, Darian, and Fr. Berman head on back to their chambers, but Gis stops Torhan in the hallway and asks him into his office. In the office, Hieran is seated, journal in hand."That was some event down there. Quite a distraction," Gis begins. "I'm going to have to dedicate someone on the team to clean up the mess and get things in order. I don't dare send any of the other four--they have seen enough carnage witnessing the explosion. And... it's best if you spend some time outside of HQ, Torhan."Hieran looks around uncomfortably at Gis's comment."Rumors have begun to circulate, Torhan, about you and the dancing girl," Gis continues, his voice lowering, suggesting sympathy. "You've always been beyond reproach, and so I don't suspect you of taking and liberties when you should not, but... as Fitch put it, when your colleagues are out getting their throats cut and getting blown up, you are getting--" He catches himself, clears his throat, and finishes, "--a girlfriend."Gis quickly continues to stop the obvious protest. "No, no, don't worry, you've always held us up with more honor than Fitch and his cronies, and I know that a paladin's grace can place you in safety when you need it. You've done nothing wrong. But the other officers are getting concerned, and I think it is best to spend as little time here as possible until this all blows over. I just thought you should know.""Gis's choice does have its advantages. I can further examine the effects of the pink crystal and perform a full autopsy on both madmen now. Perhaps the intact mask would lead to further clues about our quarry," Hieran responds."We also are still holding four gnomes here on your team's request. I understand you wish to bring in a fifth. Do what you need, time is of the essence."Gis sticks his head out into the hallway, noting the rest of Torhan's team arriving. "Good. You're all together, head on."</blockquote>
