Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hairy Minotaur" data-source="post: 1137831" data-attributes="member: 11574">Alriand finishes tying up the remaining kobolds, making sure all their hands and feet are bound. She then returns to the men, as Tharhack is leaning over Bimbar who is still covering his face with his hands. Tharhack forcibly removes Bimbar's hands from his face, and Alriand almost loses her lunch at the sight. Flaps of skin hang off Bimbar's face like someone took a cheese grater to it. His scalp is flayed and clumps of hair lay on the dirt behind his head. His nose is almost unrecognizable, his lips chapped and peeling. Rebrey looks at Tharhack knowingly, he knows it's bleak, maybe even terminal without some healing. "Is he going to be OK?" Alriand asks"No, not without some serious healing, why don't you scout that corridor to the South and see what's next?" Tharhack replies.Alriand leaves down the South passage, after Rebrey is sure she's out of ear shot he turns to Tharhack."he's not going to make it is he?" "Sure he is, he's one heck of a tough little gnome." Tharhack replies while shaking his head no. Bimbar makes some gurgling noises, and passes out from the pain."What are we going to do? I'm not going to leave him, yet getting out of here alive while dragging Bimbar around seems remote." Rebrey states."I will carry him, you just make sure I have enough time to put him down before my foes come at me. Kord will take care of the rest." Tharhack replies.Alriand returns to the chamber and informs Tharhack and Rebrey that the corridor goes about fifteen feet before ending at a door. She states she heard no sound coming from behind the door, nor were any lights visible around the door. Tharhack hefts Bimbar up into his arms, and carries him like a baby, as the ceiling is too low for Tharhack to effectively carry Bimbar over his shoulder. Bimbar gives out a low and weak moan, and then drifts back to unconsciousness. Lighting another torch with the flames from the hearth, Rebrey leads the way down the South exit to the room. Reaching the door Rebrey pushes it open, this time it is a square room facing them. The floor is littered with scraps of cloth and feces. A rank odor overtakes the party, Rebrey however smells nothing through his broken nose. Rebrey can tell there must be a sunken pit in the center of the room, as there is a soft orange glow, coming from an area just below his line of sight. The glow illuminates only a small fraction of the room, enough though to see a mound of cloth laying next to the fire. Rebrey's eyes start to move off to the right of the mound, when a weak cough refocuses his eyes back onto the mound. Rebrey watches as the mound begins to shift a little and resettle with another weak cough.</blockquote>
