Terra rummages around the room looking for anything interesting., maybe some dropped notes or something.
When she hears the click of the door she looks up and watches for a moment.
she then head to the door they all came in and looks to see if any of the others are on their way.
Pharnox will call after Vallterra, his voice is mechanical and has a ting of annoyance in it...
Congregate illi, qui speculatum ... Tempus est ut vos laudibus praedicem, saltem ad convincendum Jin vexatum discere signis, manu, si fieri potest, in hoc statu nostro salus ex silentio iam sumus foris quidem ... .
Gather the others, It is time to go scouting... I extol you to convince Jin to at least bother learning the hand signs if possible, our survival depends on silence at this juncture...once we are out the door at any rate.
Along with the others, Anyka leaves the cells in search of the scouts concerned about where the dark elf may have led them.
Flynt will follow along, dragging his jammies with him.
You see a circular room with a worn worktable on one side, and a seat with straps on the other. Next to the table is a weapon rack with various arms and armor, no doubt taken from others that had been there before. Opposite the doorway you're at, is a fairly heavy looking oak door.
Flynt will search the weapon rack for something bow-shaped.
Gashka looks at Anyka, "Maybe you find something here that will be more helpful as a weapon for Narima? I'll see if I can find something for Ash to use as well."
After looking for a few minutes she pulls out a shortish type of blade and tests it for sharpness. Being satisfied that it will do well enough for now, she runs back to the room with the cells and hands it over to Ash.
"I know it's not the best, but it should do for now and it's better than nothing." She takes a quick look at the others before looking back at Ash and Narima, "Take care of them, the dark one got another door unlocked, so we are going to scout ahead. We will come back for you." With that she hurries back to the others.
Pharnox calmly checks his pistol to make sure whether or not it is a bullet or a slug, he also checks to make sure nothing has been tampered with...
perception taking ten for 16
Nodding, Anyka draws a dagger for herself and another for Narima, and slips on one of the leather vests before going with Gashka to take the weapon to her.
"We'll be back as soon as we can ok?"
Walking back in the big circular room she sees Pharnox with something strange in his hands.
She goes over to Terra and some of the others and directs their attention at what the dark one is holding in his hands. She doesn't really seem afraid, just a little nervous maybe.
"What is that thing he holds in his hands? It don't look like any weapon I've ever seen before, and he's a little scary. I'm not sure I like this....at all."
noticing the others joining in the bigger room Terra decides not much use in relaying the information from the bald elf.
she tucks the dagger she grabbed into her sash.
she looks at the table with the various tools on it. she starts to play around with the tools, wondering what they are used for.
she keeps glancing toward the door watching the bald elf as best she can. (of course she sees mostly blurry figures, she can pretty much make out who is who.)
Once everyone is finally in the room
the bald one wants everyone to use some sort of sign language, but he didn't teach me any of it so I guess everyone is supposed to already know it?
"Scroll tube? Maybe he's one of those wizard kids?" Flynt says rummaging through the rack, finding a leather vest as well and average looking bow, though a bit smaller than what he was used to, it seemed perfect in his small hands.
Gashka looks at Anyka while they are walking, "I'm not sure how I feel about the dark one....he scares me a little. He reminds me of the bullies back home and I don't know if we can really trust him. I feel like he's going to get us into trouble."

Gashka just shakes her head and looks at them, "I don't know....I don't understand anything he's talking about, but from how I've seen him act so far....I've got a few hand signals for him myself....but, mama wouldn't approve." She snickers at her last remark and looks around, but doesn't take anything.
Looking at all the weapons and stuff she watches as the others pick things and starts putting them on. Her expression is one of curiosity, "What is all this stuff?"
"He's very dark and really violent. It sounds like he's from somewhere crazy where it's kill or be killed. Some of the things he says makes sense but I don't trust him for anything other than another person trying to hurt the people who took us. He'd leave us all here in a heartbeat." Anyka replies her expression pensive.
She nods her head at Anyka, "Yeah, the violent part I got.....he just seems like a big bully, and I don't like bullies." She gets a scowl on her little face as they get to the room with the cells.
"Maybe stuff they took from people they kidnapped like us. I can understand him when he talks. I don't like him either. At least Barney and his goons are just big and dumb. He's one messed up kid."
Gashka nods her head emphatically at Flynt, "Yup, that seems to be how everyone sees him. I know he must come from somewhere completely different than us....but he really does kinda scare me, because he isn't a big dumb goon." She glances over at the strange one, she scowls, but there's a kind of fear or maybe nervousness in her eyes.
"We can take a big dumb goon. And by we I mean you. Does he come from the land of mean jerks?"
Gashka covers her mouth as she starts to giggle a little, but it sounds nervous. "I don't know where he comes from, but maybe...I don't know...he must have had a bad life to be so crazy."
She starts looking over some of the things that are in there, some leather looking coverings...but seems nervous about putting any of it on.
"Ya think I should try to find something to put on? I'm wondering if I could still hit stuff while wearing it. Maybe I should just stay as I am? Who would suspect a little girl in a nightgown to hit them?"
Looking over at Tikkle, "Did you find anything useful?"
"I would but I've met you."
"It might be useful to be able to surprise them." Anyka replies, but the leather helps in case of a blade or weapon hitting you.
She laughs outright at Flynt's response, probably drawing a dirty look from the dark looking elf. She quiets herself and makes an apologetic if not somewhat sarcastic gesture towards said elf.
She glances at the other girls in the room before grinning at Flynt, "Look's like we have a real funny guy here girls."
Glans, nec illic inveni te ... Et facere limax
Pharnox's voice is neither cruel nor condescending, it is however brutally efficient and matter of a fact... It is not comforting.
Inde ex silentio sit amet, oportet dicere prohibetur aperitur ... Hoc agitur ut probetur aliud sibi armati hostes intentus. Qui docet manus et elit ignorare, occidere, si opus esse paratum. Vita tua refert, non hostis vita. Disciplinam non tamen habent illustrem impetum facere, aliud est discrimine viveret ... exire omnes involvamini in raptu mors est causa rei, ut nisi quae fit ex praecipuo superstes. Erunt non omnes praestare possimus, cum vel debile, fatum est leuis crudeli ... verba mea sunt?
From here on out silence is critical, speaking is prohibited... Once this door is opened we must assume until proven otherwise that we are dealing with armed, alert and dangerous enemies. For those who do not know I will teach them the hand signals, be prepared to kill if necessary. Your own lives matter, not the lives of the enemy. Do not however attack without clear instruction to do, getting out alive is the most critical thing... The death of everyone involved in our abduction besides the rat is a secondary objective, unless this is required to make it out alive then it becomes the primary objective. I cannot guarantee that all of us will survive or that we can make it out with the debilitated, fate is a cruel and fickle thing... Are my words clear?
Terra doesn't find much of interest on the table nor the chair.
as the others talk she glances in their direction every so often. not sure what to say.
looking back and forth between the elf and the rest of the kids, Terra decides its time to do more than just sit around here, and wait for for someone else to tell her what to do. she has had enough of that.
Yeah whatever lets go
Terra goes to the oak door she tries top open the door and peek at what id beyond. not seeing to far but if there is someone there she should at least make out the shape.
She looks nervously at the other girls in the room, "Yeah, you're probably right. It might be too cold to just run around in this thing anyways. Could...maybe one of you help me find something? I might....need help putting it on. I just don't know anything about this type of stuff."
Gashka just looks at the elf and rolls her eyes. She looks at the others, "Why does he keep talking like we care?" With a little help she manages to put on one of the leather vests. It seems just a wee bit big on her, but it works none the less.
Pharnox will intercede between Terra and door, he doesn't offer Terra physical resistance... Instead he simply pressed himself against the door handle to make it impossible to open.
Non, non, non. Tu periculum nobis, quid vis ut focus hic est solus, et ambulaverit foris ostium facie inimici, qui pugnaverunt et quæret interficere?
No, not yet. You are endangering us all, focus here do you want to walk outside this door alone and face enemy combatants who can kill you?
Terra pulls on the door.
don't you want to at least see if there is an enemy there? I'm tired, I just want to get out of here, and....Just move!
On the rack there appears to be three daggers, a short sword, a couple of leather vests, and chain shirt.
The shortsword catches Tikkle's eye. He plucks it off the rack and makes a few test jabs with it.
[ooc]Tikkle is wearing his hide breeches and little more, as he always does. Also, I've read like three times to make sure no one else wanted the sword already, but as sure as I type, I'll have missed it so I'm sorry.[\ooc]
"Guys, the thing sootface has is a... uh... pee-stall or something like that. It's really dangerous but it's a strong weapon..."
Pharnox stands back, he will try to overturn a table or empty weapon rack to provide cover in case Vallterra's actions unleash enemies into their midst...
strength check
When Terra opens the door, all that can be seen is another corridor that proceeds forward a short distance, then turns sharply to the right.
Terra suddenly shrieks in horror at the sight.
eeeek, a deadly empty hallway!!!
she sticks her tongue out at Pharnox and starts to walk down the hallway to the turn and takes a peek around.
"I just tell it like it is." Flynt replies to the half orc girl. He stifles a laugh at Tikkle's explanation. "That can't be what it's called. What does he store it in, an outhouse?"
Pharnox speaks in a voice which is low and can only be heard in the room...
A dolum "vacuum" atrium, quod perito eduxit eum ab obsidione potuit onerare engineer cum multis explosives, et laqueos absconderunt pedibus meis, ut non interficeret Duergar a legione ...
A deadly "empty" hallway that an experienced Drow siege engineer could load with so many explosives and traps that it could kill a Duergar legion...

"You don't get hugs from your mom do you?"
Pharnox looks at Flynt and speaks his voice is tinged with annoyance.
Dic lingua tua est mirum, si, quod sicut sonus ad manum ... situ obsolete elit.
Speak in my tongue, yours is strange, like the sound of rusting cogs... If that was addressed to me.

"You don't get hugs from your mom do you?"
Jin follows the Terra's lead. Trying not to laugh at the dark elf. Even when he's proven wrong he's still an ass.
