[UaVS] The Silver Door IC

[Caliber]

"H-he couldn't be going after the Door by himself. Surely ..."

Wesellu shakes his head in indescision.

"How long will we rest here? If we have time, I would like to have a closer look at the items we have found. Perhaps there is one among them that will aid us in our journey."

Moving closer to the fire, Wesellu examines his wounds.

"How long until the hobgoblin is healed?"

 

[Dalamar]

"Somebody have flint and steel?"
Arngen doesn't wait to hear an answer, instead moving to the cave's mouth and peeks in. If he doesn't see anything he moves inside to inspect it.

 

[Uriel]

Yes, Vitrene was gone, though there were other things to worry about now, as Enraela noted. Brogark's wounds were extensive, as well as the ill magic that he was still suffering from. Some time would see that dissipate. As well, several of the spell users had depleted their stocks of Power.
Arngen moves to the Cave, noting the almost overpowering Stench of the Kuo-Toa within. WHy had such beasts beenallwed to continue to exist? Someone should have wiped out the Fish-Men ages ago...
There was a dim light within the chamber <fungus>, it being aprox 80 feet deep, irregular and some 40' wide. There seemed to a lot of goods within, barrels, casks and boxes. Around the chamber there could be seen piles of gear, probably where the Kuo-Toa kept their personal gear, though of sleep areas there was no sigh.
'They sleep in the water...*cough*'.
Brogark croaked the answer to Arngen's unasked question from where he lay against the Dam's wall.
Arngen froze, fading against the Cave's wall...there was something else in thecave, something had moved back behind someof the crates...

 

[Dalamar]

Arngen keeps to the shadows and tries to find his way behind the thing that moved. If he gets there, he will place his shortsword against its throat and say: "Let's have a talk."

 

[Uriel]

Moving in the shadows, weapon at the ready, Arngen makes his way cautiously along the chamber's walls, stopping at a wall of crates against one wall. Looking behind these (for there is a space), he sees a massive form, a creature greater than Jikull in height, if not in weight. It is, at first look a Troll, trussed up and shackled as well. A gag covers it's mouth and one of it's arms is slowly regenerating, as if the Kuo-Toa had recently hacked it off.
Looking closer Arngen sees something more in the Troll.
Small patches of scales adorn it's body in groups of 5 or 6. It's eyes are a slitted yellow, unlike any troll Arngen had ever seen, and those eyes bellied an intelligence usually vacant from any troll that the young Drow had ever seen as well...
The creature was struggling, but has stopped, gazing at the Drow with a look very similar to the one he cast upon it...speculative and assessing him.

 

[Leopold]

IC: Cursing his luck at the thought of losing his keep "Cursed drow!" he mutters How he longs to see his body torn asunder and scattered amongst the city streets! "We must find Vitrene or at least his last known whereabouts. We cannot leave without him." he states flatly waiting for anyone to question his order. "Mistress he is vital to our continuance in this mission."

 

[KitanaVorr]

"Send the ranger then to track him. He could not have gotten far. The rest of you need to rest and heal your wounds. You're in no shape to run into anything else." Enraela's words may have seemed like she cared, but her lavender eyes showed no affection whatsoever.

 

[Dalamar]

Arngen gazes at the troll, at those intelligent eyes. Then he speaks in undercommon.
"Do you understand me?"

 

[Uriel]

The Troll nods enthusiastically at your statement,looking to you and then to it's chains...

 

[Dalamar]

"Wait a moment."
Arngen moves out of the cave to report to Enraela.
"Mistress, the kuo-toas have an imprisoned troll in the cave." A pause. "It is intelligent."
