[QUOTE="ae1vart0n, post: 2870722, member: 40218"] Seeing more than five fingers Hildor knew something wasn't right. [Color=LightSlateBlue]"Five?"[/Color] he guessed. He closed his eyes and tried to take a deep breath, but even that hurt. His mind started spinning. Partly from vertigo, a headache, and a slight ringing in his ears, it was now flowing with theories about how this could have happened. No theory stood out though. Hildor knew so little about his situation, he thought that, should he have had amnesia, he probably wouldn't have been worse off. Moving on, he decided to try to move. That was a mistake. It felt like every bone and muscle in his body was trying heal around a pile of broken glass that had somehow penetrated all the way through his body, and was stabbing at him from every direction inside and out. So he would be stuck here for a while. More time for reflection. The first question that came to mind was: [Color=DarkSlateBlue][i]Can I trust the Tyrrans.[/i][/Color] The answer was no, not yet. They still had secrets, but Hildor wasn't ready to open up to them until he knew what they were planning and why. That included Hrolf. The others might be more tactful than the cleric, but Hildor suspected they were of a similar mindset. Dowkan was the best of the group so far. A mercenary like Hildor. Still, he was new, and they were going to need to get to know him better. So what about Mars? That elemental seemed like it would fit with the inhabitants of the cave, with the Kobolds. Hildor couldn't prove Mars was behind that, but he had led Hildor to that cave, and that annoying mage. Still, the long term benefits of a friendship with Radcliff were valuable if Hildor survived this. After this task was over though, Hildor wouldn't hesitate to act against Mars any more than the Kobolds. And then there was the mage. Frustrating, arrogant, pompous. But he didn't seem to be hiding anything, and that counted for alot. Hildor trusted Nae'talis, he just didn't like him. This put him in an awkward position with the key... thats' when he realized it. [Color=LightSlateBlue]"How long was I out?"[/Color] Sooner or later Mars would try to use the key. If one of the Tyrrans had it... [/QUOTE]
