(RP) Dangerous Legacy

At about that moment, Gemble who had wandered off from the group to find Ala (as the halfling had asked about her when he first entered and learned that she had already come to the inn to get a room) cries out in complete panic. You run to where the cries are coming to find the door of a room ajar and inside, the tiny halfling trying to push the feet of the Elf Ala who is hung around the neck from the ceiling with rope. "HELP!" Gemble cries when he sees you, barely able to lift her weight. Her body is convulsing as she gasps for air uncontrolably... she seems to be trying to kick the halfling away or her convulsions just may be that strong.

Liam rushes in at Gemble's cry, and finding the crisis underway, he does the first thing that comes to mind. His hand crackles slightly as he draws back, and then unleashes a flow of energy at the rope.

[ooc - I have no idea if this will work or not, but gotta try. Ranged touch attack +3 (1d6 damage) to try and sever the rope.]
 

Energy sizzles from Liam's hand and blasts through the rope, scoring the roof in its wake. Ala falls to the ground on top of Gemble.
 

Sonrik rushes over to grab the priestess, all too late to stop her fall. He kneels on the ground, holding her in his arms. "Ala, wake up!" he shouts as he tries slapping her face lightly. He closes his eyes, and places his hand in her forehead, and begs The Twins to allow the grace that was given unto him to flow into her.

(OOC- Heal check, and then max lay on hands)
 

Rak awakes with some shouting Damn halfling can let people sleep over teir hangover He thinks some bad words and give in for his tired body and falls a sleep again.

ooc: alcohol does this kind of things dont it? :p
 

Sel'Tarien, in the process of paying for the room, is alerted by Gemble's cry, and rushes to the room. Shocked by the sight, he pauses, and only reacts when Liam severs the rope, but too late to catch Ala. "Ala!"
Having no knowledge of the healing arts, he steps back when Sonrik tries to help Ala, but watches with concern in his eyes.
 

The healing gift of his gods allow Sonrik to restore Ala. She chokes at first, forcing air through the nearly colapsed throat. "What in the h*ll happened?" Gemble says in a freaked out, halfling in way over his head kind of way.
 

Ala's eyes flutter open and for a moment she looks like a fish out of water: her eyes, wide with fear and impending death, her mouth opening and closing slowly as she struggles for breath.

Sonrik can make out small sounds that the priestess is saying, barely at first, but soon they get a fraction louder.

"...sorry...m'lord.....sorry...Odara....sorry...."

Ala's eyes then seem to lose focus on whatever far-away object she was looking at and her eyes roll for a moment; finally coming to rest on Sonrik's face. She reaches out a trembling hand.

"W..where...where am I?"
 

"You're...." Sonrik says, overcome with emotion himself, "you're in Bobbit. You were....dangling from a rope." He looks back up at his companions for some sort of explanation or approval. They can see in his eyes that the young man is fighting to have the strength in this hour, that his few years would barely equip him for. He looks back down at the priestess, and wipes a tear off of her face. "Do you remember, Ala? Did you do this?", Sonrik asks, knowing that he is not prepared to hear the answer.
 

Ala nods numbly, as if remembering a life that was long, long ago. "Y...yes, yes, I think so...I think I did it...but Thorus Odara...he came to me...he spoke to me! HE spoke to ME, Sonrik! He was as close to me as you are now! Oh can you believe it! I remember now, I remember!"

Ala is babbling like a madwoman - almost... There is still a look of strained sanity in her eye.
