[sblock=Zurai] About four minutes after the rest of the party entered the temple, and a little less than a minute of hearing the sounds of battle from inside the building, Alexa sees Hedowin's familiar, Ebony, fly out of the entrance. The bird flies a quick circle or two around Alexa's head and then wing its way back into the temple. Roll initiative and we can work you into the current combat.[/sblock]

[sblock=Redclaw]Initiative (1d20+2=20)
Maneuvers (1d5=2, 1d4=4) = Vanguard Strike and Douse the Flames
Taking the familiar's behavior as a summons, Alexa will hurry into the temple, following the sounds of battle.[/sblock]

Chevri waved vaguely in the direction of the massive chained wolverine. "I don't know if this fellow was due to become a sacrifice, or if they were sacrificing things to him- but he doesn't belong here any more than we do, and he shouldn't be left chained up. I'm hoping I can convince him we're friendly, at least long enough to slip his chains and return him to the forest. If nothing else, we'll deprive them of a fearsome ally." With the lizard steaks in hand, she made her way slowly forward, past the rim of the pit. "Somebody may want to keep an eye out for that dragon," she said, echoing the concerns of some of the others.
Then she became to hum, softly, in what she hoped was a calming fashion, focusing her attention on the wolverine. She lofted the first chunk of meat softly underhand, making sure to keep herself out of the chained creature's reach.
OOC: Wild empathy +9- hopefully the food will help, and she'll spend an AP if the unmodified roll is 10+
Unless anyone objects, Chevri's minute-long empathy check will take us out of combat rounds. Alexa comes around the corner, following Ebony, and Hedowin casts his spell even as the druid begins attempting to calm the wolverine.
Hedowin's spell reveals a potion vial on the body that Chevri has carved up, and a magical ring on the corpse of the other blackscale. The wolverine and the rest of the room fail to register any magical auras.
Meanwhile Talas and Drekhad manage to heft one of the corpses and deposit it down the well on top of the secret door.
After a minute, Chevri's gifts and gestures have calmed the creature, and her wordlessly conveyed assurance of the deaths of its tormenters have convinced the creature that she can be trusted (rolled 13, +5 on the action point, +9 W.E. for a total of 27 brings the unfriendly wolverine all the way to friendly.)

Talas
Talas watches with newfound respect as Chevri befriends the wolverine. "You are talented," he says with a look of admiration. She is good with animals like Cholas was good with people.
As he watches Hedowin cast his spell then remove the objects from the lizardmen, Talas comes over to inspect what he found. "What school of magic do you detect on them? It might give a clue to their function."
As Alexa reenters, he smiles at the petite woman. "Anything of importance happen out there? You missed a good fight, even if Drekhad took a beating. As always he is still standing though."
Talas looks over the remainder of the bodies for any mundane wealth they might have carried, coin or gems.

Chevri kept most of her attention focused on the wolverine, trying to stay alert to any behavioral cues it might give off. When she spoke, her voice was even softer than usual.. "I think we might try to let this fellow loose, back into the forest. While he seems calm enough now, I don't think I'd trust my ability to control him if there were any combat or distractions." She risked one quick look back at the others. "Do we want to continue exploring this building, or did you find anything we need to worry about? If we're going to keep searching, we ought to back out of here quietly for now- with a meal in him, I think he will be able to wait a bit, but we shouldn't all keep moving around in here any more than necessary."

Hedowin zeroes in on the two items radiating magic, studying their aura for clues as to school of magic, as well as relative aura strength. Only after completing this, does he dismiss his magical sight.
Ebony flies down the corridor squawking,"I bring. I bring." Hedowin looks up and sees the female.
"You didn't see or hear anything trying to escape from the well while you were outside, did you?" He asks.

"Even if it would make a fearsome ally in the battles ahead, I doubt you would let it engage in combat against the dragon and blackscales." Talas looks to the well and thinks aloud..."If we encounter another well, it would be wise to circle around it. I could then create an illusionary sound. Hopefully that would draw the dragon out and we could all be ready to strike at it in force."
He then speaks again to Chevri, "I think we fare alright for now. Drekhad and I are hurt, but we can be healed from the wand that Alexa still carries. We should continue on."

Turning to Talas, and anyone else who showed interest in his work,"The potion would appear to be another healing elixir, whereas the ring has piqued my interest -- it appears to be closely allied with the school of evocation."
"Once we get some time when we are not watching over our shoulder for a black dragon, I will learn more of the secrets of this ring."
