"I guess that is the end of this conversation."
After Valeria's strike he no longer is conscience but he is bleeding
Tarinhil tends the man's wounds to ensure he doesn't bleed out.
"Is that wise? If he is undead, should we allow him to live further?"
What! No! I didn't know...I couldn't know...you won't tell anyone!
Perhaps that was a question...
Tarinhil says,"Now that we know what it is, we might be able to cure him... Though I've never read of a case this advanced.... And I don't like someone dying because some sick beast wanted to use him as a messenger."
"Well we can't quite tell no one about this now can we? If this is indeed ghoul fever as Tarin and Bear so rightly concluded, it must've come from a ghoul right? Seems to me were facing a necromancer that's able to control ghouls. Not the prospect I was hoping for..." He says with sullen look in his eyes as he stares down at the unconscious man.
"So can we cure this poor fellow?"
The man screams no and bolts from the room
Tarinhil shakes his head, muttering,"Just when I didn't think it was possible to like that man less..."
He looks up and asks,"What do think, Bear, is there still time to treat this... Or maybe see if anyone at the new Cathedral can remove disease?"
"He stayed when he knew there was a ghoul but when we said someone else would have to know because we had to find the necromancer...he ran out. I don't like this."
He is not undead yet. Just infected. He may want to be infected for all we know which may mean it is difficult to remove.
I think we should question him as well.
Meaning our host.
Those who made the higher heal check realize that to save this man serious magic is needed
Around this time thrashing starts up in the cell where the sleeping bound and gagged man was
*Thrashing, more thrashing, slam on the wall, more thrashing, with some muffled cries*
Tarinhil says, his eyes widening, "Do we think the rest of them are infected? Is that what the idiot's experiments have been??"
Picture Wolverine, Bear turns his head to the door, claws grow from his hands and teeth.
Lets see what is going on. he heads for the hallway.
Two things here. Are you tracking the host OR checking the thrashing in the cell next door?
Fernus couldn't glance through the door probably, but he'll keep a wary eye on it to alert the others if it suddenly opens.
You can look through the open slot
There is a humanish male bound, gagged and straight jacketed thrashing
With no one to stop him, Tarinhil drinks his extract of Detect Thoughts, hoping to get a picture of what's happening in this place.
While Tarin drinks his extract, Unalaq detects evil on the bound man.
not evil
We can come back for him, lets see what our host is up to.
The man stands up and looks through the door...his eyes pleading
Tarinhil concentrates on the man's thoughts, trying to figure out what's going on..
Freedom...end the pain...the experiments...let me out...I shouldn't be here...
Tarinhil says,"We need to go find our host... This is not a good place."
Saraenrae guide and protect me
Tarinhil looks into the slot, and says reassuringly, "We'll investigate what's been happening here."
Terror fills the patients eyes and he slams into the door
Tarinhil says, "Go after the host, he has things to answer for. I'll deal with this man." With that, he produces his picks and starts working.
"Not leaving you Tarin. Seems like this one is wrongly imprisoned, but I'm staying with you in case something goes wrong."
Tarin easily opens the lock, and inside the man backs up to the wall
"Please, be calm. It appears that there is a great deal more going on here than we had hoped to find. Why can't it ever be simple," she says with a toss of her eyes over to Unalaq and Bear, then back to the man. "Can you tell us more of what is going on?"
He is gagged ...so no lol
Fernus sees the man is outright frightened by the sudden opening of his cell and tries to ease the tension.
"It's alright, we're here to help." He says as he enters the room quietly, his hands held up high to indicate he means no harm.
"We came here for answers, but it seems your tormentor only raises more questions. We intend to get them from him. Are you alright? Physically and mentally of course. Are you hurt or injured?"
mumble mumble...screamed mumble. He slumps to the floor frustrated.
Tarinhil chuckles,"Apparently, have doesn't think you're too bright, Val.... No need to run... We're here to help."
Fernus walks over to the man carefully and tries to remove the gag in his mouth at first.
"That's much better I'd think. So what can you tell us? Though that jacket has to stay on I'm afraid, seeing as what the last patient tried to do to us."
Tarinhil smiles in support of Fernus' comments, even as he tries to reach out with his magical sense, looking for the thoughts of the jerk who fled.
"I think he's all right Fernus. If he tries something, drop him to the ground. Once Fernus has removed the gag, Unalaq starts to loosen some of the straps.
|
He breathes a bit rapidly, nervous, as the gag is removed.
"Please don't be another illusion. The vile man, likely a necromancer has been torturing and experimenting on me for months. My name... my name is Loarin, please let the sunlight shine, shine, shine." He kind of goes off a bit at the end of his words looking up and smiling as if not completely there.
Tarinhil says, "Don't worry, we're not the dream of some demented wizard... although, now, we may be his nightmare."
"No we're real. Do you know if there are others imprisoned here in similar situations to your own? Speaking of which, how do you come to be here?"
Looks like we have a wizard to kill. He is going to be hiding around here somewhere. I will pick up his scent. Good to meet you Loarin, you will be safe now.
I knew the bastard was up to something. Follow me.
