Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pebele" data-source="post: 3702356" data-attributes="member: 30889">Once the group is inside the prison, they try to calm the prisoners.Three people are conscious, a middle-aged man and woman, who are huddled together. They have minor abrasions over their faces and hands. When they are examined, it is obvious they have no serious injuries. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The man speaks to the group, not really providing any information, and instead consoling his wife.The other conscious person is a large, bearish man. He has very dark skin, and has obviously been quite badly beaten. When examined, he is found to have moderate injuries. "I will survive. You must attend to Tarshana. The others are all dead." He seems to not care much for talking, and instead watches intently while Catherine attends to the unconscious woman.As Catherine examines the woman, she finds that she has sustained severe injuries. The woman is very petite and very wiry. Something about the woman tugs on Catherine's memory, but she is too involved in trying to heal her that she can't place it. The woman would probably be quite striking, were it not for the fact that her face was so bloodied and swollen.Catherine applies her wand, and slowly the woman awakens. Immediately she tenses and snarls, and a sword that seems to be made of blue light appears in her right hand. "Tarshana! Stand down! We are being helped." The gruff man speaks sharply to the woman, and the sword vanishes. She winces and speaks to Catherine "Deception will not be tolerated." She then looks to the dark-skinned man "Captain, you trust too easily. Explain the situation, please."Ducerne and Alicia exchange looks, and Alicia clenches her fists at her sides. Ducerne lays a hand on her shoulder and speaks to Kaelan. "We nearly destroyed you, and yet you expect us to remain locked here while you take on Janus? And we are to assume that despite your near total defeat, you will survive and return for us? Surely you see that we cannot accept this."</blockquote>
