Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

[EvolutionKB]

Kaelan

As Kaelan pulls the woman's weapons away, he grits his teeth annoyingly, and says to the woman, "Do not worry too much, your wounds will heal, I take it Ducerne will see to that. You both are quite the warriors."

He then turns to Ducerne, "I know you would not betray us, but will you take us to the prisoners? At least then you can tell us who needs the most help. There are quite a few traps set around here as well, perhaps to could lead us around any that lie in our path ahead."

Ducerne eyes Alicia carefully and nods when he is satisfied that she will not make any hostile moves. He turns to Kaelan and nods. "The prison is just down that hall there," he points to the hall that Kaelan and Sepoto are still in. "I have the key, so there will be no traps to worry about. I do not believe that Janus would trap his own room, but I am not privy to his most private plans."

Alicia gets to her feet, looking between Ducerne and the group. She is obviously not enthused about this situation, but she says nothing and makes no moves to try anything.

"Then let's get moving. Ducerne, we'll let you lead the way. Kaelan will follow behind. I'll attend to the remainder of the wounds while we are heading down there."

I was at 4, plus the 11 over time from the potion, so I'll use two charges on myself to get close to full. 2 Charges on Darrick to bring him to 36. Who else needs healing? I'll use charges as needed.

Trebuchet looks notably awkward while Sepoto hugs him, standing stiffly with his arms at his side. He relaxes visibly once the shifter releases him, though he does rumble, "You are welcome...friend Sepoto." He then returns to watching the two prisoners/truce-ees and when the group departs, he follows at his usual place in the rank and file.

Sepoto nods at Catherine after she has finished using the wand on herself.

[SBLOCK] Sepoto could use a charge, currently at 12/24 hp. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Yeoman]

[sblock=Expended Charges]
7 total. I'll edit this as other people post.
2: Catherine
2: Darrick
2: Kaelan
1: Sepoto
edit: oops, I forgot to mention each charge is +11 hp.

Ducerne leads the group down the hall, and Alicia falls in towards the middle of the group. About 40 feet from where the battle took places, the group finds a large metal door.

Ducerne reaches in to his pocket and extracts a ring of keys. He carefully eases one in to the lock, and there is a loud *click* as the latch is released. He pushes the door open and the first thing the group notices is a rather strong and unpleasant odor that hits them. "I kept them alive. I couldn't do much about their living conditions, though." Ducerne stands aside to let the group in.

"The merchant couple is only a bit roughed up. You will have to ask them for details on their condition. Same with one of their guards. The other guard, though... She has to be kept unconscious. Some sorta magician or some such. Makes weapons out of nothing. She's alive, though."

Kaelan

[sblock=Yeoman]I could use two charges, that would put me at 35/36[/sblock]

As Ducerne as Alicia lead the way, Kaelan begins thinking about the battle ahead. This one nearly killed all of them. If not for Treb's timely spell, the battle probably would have been over, with them on the losing end.

As the horrible stench from the cell hit Kaelan, he reeled back momentarily. Once his eyes adjusted to the gloom within, he could make out a few people, one of them lying on the floor. "Come on out people, we'll take you somewhere safe. Catherine, can you tend to the spellcaster? If she is out for revenge she may be able to help us take down the leaders. Ducerne go ahead and give Darrick the keys."

As the prisoners are filing out, Kaelan tries to position himself to cut off Ducerne and Alicia in case they try to escape. Once everybody is out of the cell and Darrick has the keys, Kaelan says, "At this point, we come an unsuitable choice. We need to put the two of you in the cell. I am sure you understand that you can't be trusted. I don't want this to come to violence. If you want to be sure that we come back and release you, please tell us all you can about the halfling, the shaman, and the bodyguard. From what you and others have said about the halfling, you don't want him to be the one releasing you."

 

[Shayuri]

Trebuchet's head twitches to look at Kaelan with what could very well be surprise.

 

[Yeoman]

"Right, I'm on it." Catherine applies a charge from her wand to the injured spellcaster. While doing so, she attempts to ascertain the extent of injuries of the others. Catherine hears Kaelan order the two prisoners to stay behind. "He's right. It's for the best, but I promise we'll be back when we have dealt with Janus."
