"Rizzle huh, that you? Well Rizzle, care to begin by explaining who took us, where we are, and what has been done to Narima and others….""
Asho handles Rizzle roughly and looks for anything to bind the creature's hands with, while continuing searching for possessions/disarm Rizzle of weapons. He will also begin to remove Rizzle's leather armor.
Rising from Narima's side, Anyka stalks over to the captured ratman, hand tightly clenched in anger around the sharp rock.
"Tell me whet you did to her or I'll shove this in your eye."
Pharnox cannot understand the words but he knows by logical conclusion that this is an interrogation of some sort...
He approaches Anyka from behind and speaks in a whisper so that the rat might not know what he was about...
When all information has been gleaned from the rat slit his throat, strike at the intersecting veins in the middle of the throat... Those are the vocal cords, slit them and he will make no noise. Do not hesitate, as long as he lives he will decrease our chances of our survival... Survival is all that matters, the dead feel nothing, not joy, not passion, not anything...
Anyka's hand twitches, gripping the knife tighter as she glares at the captive ratman.
Jin glares at the dark skinned elf. He has no mercy, I've got to keep my eye on this one.
Tikkle at this point is gripping on to the Rat by the throat, holding him so that Asho could speak to him. He tightened his grip slightly, causing his claws to extend just far enough to be felt against Rizzle's throat.
Dropping to a menacing whisper with that same scary tone he says "Better start squeakin, Panya, I dunno who's gonna gitcha first if you don't talk fast..."
Visibly shaking, the rat answers, "Master bring children here, you know as Piper. This his Sanctuary." Frantically he points at the box hanging on his hip. "Box, box, box help little lizard. Don't kill Rizzle, just does as told."
Ash is losing patience with the "interrogation."
"Makes no sense to me. Anyone else? Maybe hit him again?"
Ash takes the box and turns to his friends. He rattles it, before examining it perfunctorily:
then hands it to Pharnox or Jin to look at.
What weapons does he have?
Food?
Misc. items?
Remember we have nothing and are looking to get any aid we can....
:)
"What does he do to the children he brings here? What did he do to her?" Anyka says angrily.
With a terrified look, he answers, "He do nothing, I do, but he tell me to. Essence, I drain just a little and give to Master. Keep him alive."
"What??!!" she says practically jumpinbg on the restrained creature.
"Box! Box!" Is all he manages to say before descending into incoherent babble and whimpering.
Ash places a restraining hand on Anyka.
"Easy Anyka. I know it's hard, but this creature holds the knowledge. Look at him, he's plainly terrified..." Ash turns to the pathetic Ratling.
"Answer her!!!" he shouts at the creature. "What does that box have to do with draining essence? Talk or the cat will eat you!!!"
"Open..." Are the last words he manages to say before passing out from terror.
Terra stayed with Narima. makeing sure he is alive. making him as comfortable as possible, keeping an eye for changes.
as she does so she tires to wrap her head around theis whole eseence thing. It is all very confusing to her.
Anyka glares at Asho wordlessly, rage radiating off of her. As the ratman loses consciousness her frustration boils over. "#$%¥*!" she screams at the inert enemy.
Gashka walk over to Anyka and puts an arm around her to try and comfort her. "It's okay, we need to open the box. I think that's what he was tryin to say." She looks at Jin, "Can you open it? Maybe there's a key?" She releases Anyka and bending over she picks up the rat and tosses him in a cell. "Asho, can you lock him in there please? We don't need him comin to and warnin his master that we're coming for him." Her fists are clenched at her side and she shakes with anger, but she manages to keep her tone somewhat even and calm.
With Anyka's outburst, terra was unsure how to feel. she really didn't know any of these kids. her mother made sure that she had no friends, or just ones she would have provided.
Terra reamins quiet for now, not wanting to or perhaps more like not knowing how to help the situation.
instead silently, under her breath, she curses her mother.
Ash complies with Gashka's request, taking a bit of time to sort out just what key fits the cell in question. Then, he sets to the task of ripping the material of his shirtsleeve to make a gag and impromptu bonds, and gags and binds the ratling.
"Maybe we should break something off in the lock?" he asks generally.
Twisting the key in the lock with a great deal of satisfaction, Ash wonders if that is enough. He shrugs to himself and dumps the leather armor in a cell on the other side of the room.
Terra sitting there doing her best for Narima. suddenly something feels different.
she places her hand on the ground, her attention now diverted to that, what is this?
Taking a few deep breaths to steady herself, Gashka loosens her fists and looks at Ash, "Nah, don't break nuthin off in there. Just leave him in there like that for now...maybe he'll be useful later on." While the others try to figure out the box, Gashka goes and sits down on the floor. She takes some more deep breaths and tries to think of what to do next.
As quickly as it came, the feeling disappeared.
Pharnox whispers from behind Anyka, his voice is low and efficient like a machine in some ways...
It is time to finish this, take your rock and kill the rat... If he is dead he cannot make noise and give away our position...
Jin grabs the dark skinned elf and whispers in elven.
** tease **
Terra stays feeling the stone for a moment. she then turns her attentions back to the others.
have we found out anything.... she does not finish when she hears the talk of killing.
NO, we will not kill this one, I may be a lot of things but I am not a killer. I say he lives.
she is very adamant about her words and is ready to intervene if anyone tries to kill the rat man.
Tikkle Props the rat against the wall and lines up for a Coup de Gras, aiming to break the rat's neck with a kick...
Pharnox looks carefully over Jin, he speaks to him and makes a head motion towards Vallterra... To Drow this head motion is a deep sign of disrespect towards the person it is directed to...
Occidamus eum, qui est tantum silentium nisi nibh exsectio linguae tu ignavus se agnoscere. Et in novissimo minute exactissimum, et revertetur ad terram conabitur se domino erimus res vero incommodum ... cujus vita contra capita Contemplamini tuos fratres et proximos?
Killing him is the only way to silence him that is currently available save cutting out the tongue, you yourself acknowledge that he is a coward. He will balk at the last minute, he will try to go back to his master when he does we will be at a disadvantage... Think carefully does his life truly matter against the lives of your friends, brethren and companions?
Oblivious to Tikkle's attempts to kill the rat Jin replies to the dark one.
Flynt takes the box while Jin and Pharnox are having a tiff. He looks over it, then opens the lid. Inside are three crystals, two look like dark amethyst and the third is glowing a brilliant crimson.
Terra barely finishes telling the elf speaker her opinion when she turns to see Tikkle about to try and kill the rat man
she rushes forward to tackle Tikkle Nooo don't!
(+2 charge)
Pharnox spoke his voice logical and callous, his conclusion drawn by applying the relentless intelligence of the Drow mind...
Ut suspicor, hoc quod factum est, cum venit in mus amet ipsum id satis videbatur uno tempore facta ... Duis fecit illum verisimile est murmurationis consideraret normalis cellulis, qui a ita non potest esse extra intellectum est eum facere ... tunc invocabunt instrue te omnes homines non iam sanguis effunditur furtim quocumque erimus nos-rat-
Pharnox looks at the charging human female and decides to put himself in her way, the rat's death was paramount to survival in his view...
That I suspect is because this has happened before, when the rat came into our cells the act seemed almost routine... He has done this enough times that it has become normal for him, screaming from these cells is likely considered normal by those who are outside of it... Kill him so he cannot make a cry for help and then prepare yourself, not all of us are stealthy we will be spilling blood soon no matter what we do to the rat-
Jin shouts to his friend "Ash stop Tikkle!
She releases Anyka and bending over she picks up the rat and tosses him in a cell

She sends Tikkle a scathing look, ""Tikkle, curo oddi ar y nonsens hwn ar unwaith! Mae'n mewn cawell ac yn gallu gwneud unrhyw niwed pellach. Os byddwn yn gorfod byddwn yn gofalu amdano yn ddiweddarach, ond nid fel hyn. Stop it a chael dros yma .... onest beth ydych chi'n meddwl? "
She makes a motion for him to come stand next to her.
Dimittite eum, et movemur, et putrescit, in cubiculum quod morabatur cohibenti fatuitas ... Melior mobile manere, debet, sequentia sunt illi qui in perceptione et subdole speculatum me et ante te, ut ... illis qui non sunt, inquiunt, ut sani ut bene sit nobis exitum. Scientes quod cum ex hoc optime et induamur arma fortasse ...
Leave him to rot then and move, staying boxed in this room is idiocy... Better to stay mobile, those who are stealthily and perceptive should follow me as I scout ahead... Those who are not stay here, any sound that we make could well be our demise. Knowing what we deal with and perhaps arming ourselves is the best way out of this...
Ash is growing frustrated with the polyglot conversations. His eyes narrow as he strains to catch an inkling of the elf's meaning, but comes up with nothing.
"What is he saying now? Why do we even trust him? Sure he kicked the ratling…."
Gashka looks at Ash and sighs as she shakes her head, "I don't know, but I'm sure one of the others will translate. I'm sure it has something to do with him not wanting to be in here anymore. I know I don't want to stick around here any longer than necessary. We don't know what's out there though. Rizzle is unconscious now though, so using him to show us how to get outta here isn't an option."
She walks over to Ash and puts a hand on his arm, since she can't quite reach his shoulder. "Just make sure to hold onto those keys, don't know what all they unlock yet." She rubs his arm for a minute, trying to soothe his nerves before walking back to Tikkle.
Ash is…dumbstruck. He tries to act nonchalant.
"Uh. Yeah. Totally, of course."
She…touched me.
He can't quite help feeling something for the feisty half-orc.
Bah. She's half my age and half my height. What am I thinking? Still, the way she smiles - those teeth!
"I want to get out of here too. As long as we stick together - I don't want to be left behind, nor leave anyone behind. I know we should probably watch Rizzle, but…."
