The water elemental bobs around calmly touching the fire as he goes and extinguishes it in notime before dissapearing.
"Well that was curious. I wonder to which captain this nutjob belonged."

Noro stands over the bloody mess she created when Calah (or is it Rachel?) asks the question. Noro looks toward her captain. you. she says pointing at Calah. breathing a little heavy, its a bit tiring being a meat tenderizer.
On the man's body, which is curiously unburnt, you find a nice head band, a silver unholy symbol, a dager, and a chain shirt. In his cloak you find a strange green gem. It almost feels damp to the touch but if you try to wipe the water off you find it is dry. Most of the contents of this floor have been burnt, but you managed to keep the fire contained to just this floor and it was put out before the tower sustained to much damage.
Calah pats Noro on the shoulder.
"I was talking about the crazy one whose head you pummeled darling." She says as she pats the body down and removes anything useful for the group.
Suny helps get Arjun back inside before skipping off and poking all about the place.
Here? Whut be down'a stairs?
*Skippy, skippy, skippy, skip * (^_^)
Arjun finally makes it through the window, with all the grace of a broken puppet and covered in grease. He is seething, both at himself and at missing out on the fight entirely. He stifles it down and thanks Dimitrious and Suny for their help. "I am... not used to lacking competence. That was frustrating. Thank you for your assistance." Turning to Calah, he sighs. "Well, what did we find? Can we identify any of it?"
Suny, seemingly not worried about the state Arjun is in, is happy to give him a comforting hug after his ordeal. (^_^)
Before skipping off and looking all about.
Dimitrious. Will cast detect magic and heal whomever needs it,
Its too bad that window could not be saved it proved a mighty foe,
"We still have some levels to go. Get ready guys" Calah says and get's ready for the next doors.
Calah, Would you like me and Arjun to go ahead, if there are more enemies perhaps we can get the jump on them?
Noro smiles a wicked grin, I'll go, hehehe The look in Noro's eyes are like an animal on the prowl.
"If they haven't heard us before, they heard us during this fight. Let's stay together and work our way down."
.
Jax, you are unsure of who's unholy symbol that is but it defiantly looks like the moon you are sure of that.
I will move myself on the map when i get home.
Noro. While your company is always appreciated. You are not very quiet. However I can assure you that if there is trouble, you will be the first one I call.
Noro is at a point now she is letting her emotions dictate her actions.
Not one to pass up a good intimidate. Noro grabs the cleric's corpse and drags it down the stairs. at the door on the bottom. she simply kicks it open and uses the cleric's corpse as a shield in case of archers.
Honey! I'm home!
Suny will let Noro and others 'assault' down the stairs. She's happy to skip along and lend a hand when needed.
Dimitrious will not in fact interfere with Noro's new plan and will follow behind using the barbarian as a distraction.
Dimitrious having learned a lesson about approaching a seemingly lifeless body. Will report his findings to those above
"Oooo! Watch out fer them bein' fakin' it!" Suny warns people at Dim's comment/indications, also remembering the people back on the other island.
"I don't think she will be much of a problem." Calah says and uses a healing wand on the bounded woman.
If she wakes up Calah will look for eyecontact and say "I'm captain Riptide, you're safe now. We killed the crazed priest in the other room and are clearing this place. If you understand nod and if you can be quiet I'll remove the gag." She studies the woman if she seems reliable before actually doing so.

With the touch of the healing spells the woman begins to stir. She has a look of fright on her face but it quickly fades. She nods to you to take off her gag.
Calah takes the bond off gently and says "You can understand I won't remove your bonds right away, I don't know you and know not why you are held. Give me the truth and if I like it I will remove them and as for the rest, let's see. "

In a voice a little gruffer than one would expect from a woman of her beauty, The names Isabella Locke, I am here to hunt you down but ran into some trouble along the way. Judging from the sounds of the scuffle you've dealt with my captors?
Hunt us down by whos order?
"My, my, so you were sent to hunt us? Do tell, who put out the order? And why do you proclaim it so easily. Surely you can expect us to just get rid of you after we know your motive Isabella? It would be a shame of such a pretty one like yourself, though. Perhaps we can strike an accord of sorts?" Calah flirts.
Perhaps I can get her tongue waggling and find out more. Though I wouldn't mind to waggle her tongue myself by the looks of her.
"As for the tower, so far we worked our way from top to bottom and cleared most, there might be a few in the lower levels though."
Calah studies the woman well. She doesn't want to free her if she will just stab them in the back.
Noro simply motions toward the dead cleric that she threw into the room then back at the "prisoner" I can make her look like him if ya want.
After a few moments of thought, Isabella begins to speak,
We should come to an accord, I will tell you who sent me as a condition of my release. Thinking fora moment more she continues, But I know that my safety can not be assured after I tell you who sent me so I offer you this, once I am released I will tell you how I found you.
Isabella, It would be for your benefit to speak the truth. Our captain is fair and just to friends and crew...but is an absolute terror to our enemies

At that comment Noro simply shows the dead cleric, He wash my enemy. You wanna be like him?
dropping the bloody corpse back to the floor
She then moves over to the other door in the room, and checks to see if its locked.
"Look Isabella, I can tell you are mostly telling the truth, but you will also say whatever you need to get out of this predicament. I have a weak spot for women in trouble so unless you try something you needn't worry about yer life.
Let me ask you this. How loyal are you to your captain or employer? "
-Posted with Wayfinder
Well I'm my own captain and my loyalty is to gold. I have no particular loyalty to Harrigan other than the bounty he placed on you and his ship. Rumors of a band of swabs overthrowing him have began to circulate and he would like them squashed.
Suny sits down besides the bound woman and listens.
"But.. them's whut done tha bad things bin done away with...? Right?" Suny asks, looking to Rachel
"Asides. Cap'n Harrigan give his.. authority to a Mister Plugg an a Master Scourge. We in't seen 'em fer tha longest time." Suny also points out.
"So it was Harrigan." Arjun walks over and sits cross-legged in front of the human woman. He takes a dagger from his belt, uses it as a pointer to emphasize his words. "That was sloppy, little assassin. Which I suppose is just the cherry on top, compared to being captured by mission ancillaries and rescued - rescued by your targets." He taps the flat of his blade on her cheek. "Sloppy. Sloppy. Sloppy.... What shall we do with you now, little assassin? Your only currency is sharing how you found us, but my dagger here will get that for us for free. Won't we, little dagger?" He traces the point up and down the woman's cheek. His voice is a high-pitched sing-song, as a parent would to a young child. "The little dagger will be used on the little assassin, until all of her secrets are shared. Then what? Will we kill her, little dagger? Will we keep her as a puppet in a cage? Will we do horrible, lurid things to her body and spirit? We will slice off little pieces and make her eat them?" He laughs a deep, belly laugh and smiles, his eyes wide with anticipation. "There are so many possibilities, little dagger! Perhaps we can have more than one? Yes.... perhaps we can have all of them. Perhaps we should start with the slicing. Yes, little dagger. Yes."
He leans in closely, staring into her eyes, and whispers. "Tell me how you found us, little assassin. Or I will make you eat your own ear."
Intimidate
Noro looks over toward the interrogation, Jusht remember, I'm the crazy one, hesh pretty normal.
She then goes back to checking the door.
Calah places an hand on Arjun's shoulder and with the other hand she guides his dagger away from Isabella.
"No Arjun. She has done nothing to us and she is willing to strike a bargain. If it was Harrigan himself or any other who has harmed us strongly you could cut him up all you like. But I gave her my word I would not harm her. My word as a Captain should not be broken lightly.
I would rather see her become an ally Captain than a corpse. We will need allies if we are to strike at Harrigan. Because she is giving us information her contract is broken. She would benefit from us keeping our mouths about that. "
Calah turns once more towards Isabella a sweet honest smile on her face.
"What say you Isabella? You can trust us to keep your secret and I would truly like more captains as allies. I believe our alliance could be the start of a strong one. I am sure we could get other captains on our side with us two charming captains.
However, should you cross us. Well I have more than just these two I can send after you." Her face and smile remains the same as she shows the carrot and the stick.
Abject fear crosses Isabella's face as Arjun plays with the knife. She begins to stammer a bit and is barely consoled by Calah's statement. She swallows hard saying I can tell you some more... I can tell you where Harrigan has buried his treasure. And that he has left it unguarded.
Treasure is nice, but truth is much more valuable,tell us what you know asks Dimitrious
Placing a hand on her shoulder Calah tries to calm the woman somewhat. She nods to Jax to move away, his scaring of the woman has served it's purpose. Now she must be pulled in.
"It's all right Isabella, you needn't fear Jax'dagger if you tell us the truth now. Where did Harrigan leave his treasure, how did you track us down and where is your ship currently located. After that we can negotiate an alliance that benefits us both."
Suny as well tries to be her friendly self towards Isabella.
(^_^)
