Arnir clicks his tongue at the insolence of the Scout's tone but simply states "He said nothing of where he was going?" as he looks about the room for anything of interest.

Torrent takes out her blanket and wraps it around the female elf.
"No," replies the scout to Arnir's question, clutching the blanket around her, "he gave no details, just told the Inquisitor he was leaving with a wand or something. The Inquisitor didn't even seem to listen or respond ... so lost was he in the pleasure of ... cutting me."
"What about the other fellow in the cell, do you think he has any more information?" asks Torrent.
"Probably not," she replies, "a few days ago he just stopped talking. He merely stares off into space, drooling or muttering incoherently. I think the Inquisitor broke his mind. It was only a matter of time before they threw him into the lava once they were done with him ... like so many of the others."
Torrent hacks her axe into one of the chairs in frustration. "Damn this!" she exclaims, "Lee is obviously not here. But he must be somewhere nearby, even his control over nature magic could keep him safe out in the hurricane."

"We have yet to check that one room." Arnir reminds Torrent. "perhaps Hrmir could use his mastery of stone to get us in?"

Hrimr shakes his head.
"I can't soften stone that has been worked like this. I need the stone to be in a more natural state."
He points to the monolith.
"Shouldn't we destroy that so no one else gets trapped like these Elves here? We can just push it into the Lava."
He perks up a moment.
"Can't we just toss the orb into the lava? It's item causing the storms right? If we destroy it won't the spell stop?"

Arnir nods as Hrmir suggests destroying the monolith "Yes, a nasty piece of work...." he begins before cringing at the mention of destroying the orb "I...suppose we could try that....Can we not think of where Lee might be?"
Bannock's brow attains a state of permanent furrow as the orb and monolith are discussed.
"D'ya think Lee will come back here? He told his men to wait for a signal, and surely he'll want that orb back. If we have no idea where he's gone, then maybe an ambush is our only hope."
"D'ya think Lee will come back here? He told his men to wait for a signal, and surely he'll want that orb back. If we have no idea where he's gone, then maybe an ambush is our only hope."
"The problem with that plan Bannock is that Lee doesn't need to come back until the storm is over and Seaquen is leveled. Sure he might, but he is likely hiding out elsewhere ... probably somewhere near the beach so he can use his full repertoire of water magic if anyone were to catch up with him. Standing around here isn't helping anything." She looks around to the party, emploring them. "I don't want to sound like some bleeding heart, but thousands of refugees will be killed, buildings smashed, the very Lyceum ripped apart. I've been trying to hammer this point home guys, we ... don't ... have ... time!"
She takes a few deep breaths before putting her hand on Bannock's shoulder. "I'm sorry Bannock ... and everyone else. I do not mean to snap, but please understand that this is a very difficult situation for me. Lee was my mentor, my first clerical guide into the teachings of Istishia ... a friend. To learn that he has turned his back on all that is good, allied with the enemy and developed a horrible magical weapon to destroy Seaquen and likely the Shahalesti fleet ... it is too much to bear. He must be found, he must be brought to justice."

Kirio sighs "Alright, well... I think all of us want to have a word with Mr. Lee. So back up we go then..." Kirio begins heading back out of the room then looks back "We should let that unfortunate fellow out though, and toss that trap into the lava before we leave however. Nasty bit of work that..."
