"Thunderation, but I feel foolish down here! Let's get up from this humiliating posture and go investigate that noise that just came from that way," says Bevin, pointing to the source of the sound.

 

[Rhun]

Aram unties the everburning torch from his belt and hands it to Bevin. He makes a motion for the dwarf to stay where he is. Then, the dervish moves back against the wall, fading into the shadows.


Hide +12, Move Silently +12. Aram will try to sneak around the parameter of the chamber to see what made the noise.

Confused, but obiedient, Bevin takes the sunrod, looks far away from Aram, and takes great interest in some detail of the architecture of the room, shielding Aram from the light of the sunrod with his dwarvish body, and lowly whistling.

Aram stealithy heads into the passageway across the chamber.

The passageway ends in four small cells - no more than niches in the rock with shackles at the back of each. The floor of each cell is covered with filth and puddles of water.

Shackled to the wall of the last niche is a man, gagged and wearing filthy rags. He looks unnaturally thin and bony. He doesn't seem to notice Aram's approach.

The statue does not reply to Girgal.

 

[Rhun]

Aram turns his head back toward his companions. "Come forward." he calls. Then he approaches the chained man, sheathing a scimitar so that he can remove the gag from the man's mouth. "Who are you?" he asks.

 

[kinem]

The man takes a couple of breaths then replies faintly "What new trick is this? I will tell you monsters nothing more than I already have."

 

[Rhun]

"The monsters you refer to are our foes," says Aram in answer. "They ambushed us this night, but we fought them off. They killed two of our companions, and we mean to see them paid back for that deed."

The dervish sheaths his blades and removes his lockpicks from his beltpouch. "Let me get you out of those shackles."


Open Locks +15

Bevin takes up a watchful, wary position, avoiding all of the filth most assiduously, and watches Aram's actions. while keeping a wary eye out for approaching foes.
