You hear a very audible sigh. Followed by four hands coming up
Followed by broken common and two drow faces. They werent armored or in anyway combat ready. Neither had any regalia on them either
"You be capture us. But we only do what female say. We leave. You have one female at back of us. Dealing?"

SUny frowns, though she tucks away the thing she'd had prepared. Moving forwards slowly she regards the two Drow (Males?) with watchful eyes, though her gaze flickers to the woman in the cage.
"So...this be some sort'a trick by her then?" She asks.
Suny moves to a better position where she can keep an eye on the two Drow...
Hitoru closely searches the drows' faces for any sign of duplicity.
"Even if they are telling truth, we should question them before they leave. We have superior position here anyway."
Hitoru is ready to shoot the drow at the slightest sign of treachery.
According to you. They are not lying. They were only doing their job. You hear a slight groan from the woman in the cell. She is still alive.

Seeing that the Drow are being covered Suny moves to help get the lass free from the cell...Or at least the door open so that her injuries can be treated.

So you do what she ask of you. She would tell you to torture her is this correct? Who do you serve?
DE: The Drow are evil.
There is a key. Want to know if you do unlock it.
The drow reply
"We have to keep woman here. Torture her. Make her scream. Not make her leave. Not anything else"

"We serve the Empress."

Arim speaks slowly. "Set her free, now."
Suny simply gives Arim a wave of her hand as she walks over and retrieves the cage key from which ever fellow currently has it. Then moves to open the door so that the girl within can be treated. Turning back to the pair of fellows Suny asks,
"How much a head is your boss, leader?" Suny points to the open door.
"Which way did they go? Left? Right?" Suny begins to peer about the room looking for other doors leading out.
Arim stands over them. "This is going to go one of two ways, but it's going to be a lot easier if you answer our questions."
As you unlock 5he cage, a feint ringing sound can be heard. Auddenly your vision is filled with two very large, very real eyes.
The vision fades and you are still in the room, but the two drow took their chance to escape.
The female is out cold. But one thing is for sure. You know this woman. Either personally or you heard of her. Lillian. Head priestess of Bahamut and the one you needed to rescue.

Arim rushes to her side, casting some healing magic and gently raising her chin. "Are you ok? Can you hear me? Nod if you can hear me."
Her eyes open. Extremely blue eyes. A weak smile on her face
"thanky...."
She passes out again

"Well mission accomplished at least."
When the eyes appear, Nyroba growls her defiance, her fingers sharpening into claws momentarily.

Thank you for healing the priestess Arim. Lillian I can't believe we found you are you ok? I don't know about the rest of you but we should take Lillian back the way we came and get out of here. If I am to fight a dragon I need my weapon the people are repairing.
"Those eyes are definitely unfriendly, wouldn't you say so?" Hitoru looks at his companions.
"Marcus, it is great we have this priestess, but I seem to remember we came down here for the missing villagers. Without them there will not be any repaired weapons..."
"And am I the only one surprised to find the priestess here, under the supposedly 'outlaw' village and have the black dragon allow us to rescue her? This just seems weirder and weirder."
"It makes no difference to me since I care little for weaponry, but I want to rescue the villages. Perhaps our drow friends can tell us where they are."
"They might, too bad they fled. We better find them again."

"Eeeek!" (>_<)
Yes the villagers, I spoke too soon. Just excited the priestess is alive. Let us move along then. I will cary Lillian
The woman groaned something but too weak to actually form words, she does manage to hold on to you as you help her get up.
odd??
Marcus will cast guidance
It seems being in contact with the priestess has stabalized my magic. Bahamut is truly hear with us now. Maybe we can rid this place of this corruption.

As Suny approaches Nyroba, she feels a warm, protective aura emanating from the dark-skinned human. Returning Suny's hug with one arm, she says, "Have courage. Bahamut shall not abandon us. If we die, we shall be taken to His celestial Weyr, so there is nothing to fear. " Turning to Marcus, she speaks with greater concern in her voice.
"We should consider the weapons and armor we left in the village lost. I don't know how they fooled us, but this has all been clearly some sort of elaborate trick, orchestrated by the Drow and their foul ruler. Think! This village was supposedly hidden, right? Small enough that the forces of the Black Wyrm overlooked it? Yet we somehow find the very woman we came to rescue in the bowels of a not-so-abandoned asylum? WHY WOULD THEY PUT HER HERE!? Only one reason makes sense -- for some twisted reason, they wanted us to find her here. We must go -- perhaps their gambit will turn against them, and we will yet escape -- but if not, I will see you in Bahamut's Weyr. It has been a privilege serving with you all."

"It is weird, no question about it. Thing is, if there is even a slight chance the village people are not part of the trap, we should probably try to help them as they might help us with our escape of this island. It is a tough decision, what to do now."
"I propose to find the street level exit from this madhouse, than we have a way out if retreat is necessary. After that we should look further down. Or we can go outside, keep the priestes somewhere out of sight and recon the village."
Ausk nods at Hitoru's suggestion.
"Recon is always better than assumptions. Let us get through this madhouse, and those of us who can reliably hide will go out and see if these villagers are as innocent as they seem. We can also try to reacquire our equipment."
Ausk will start looking down the passageway the drow went down making sure to look out for anything that could trip them up.
As far as you can see or tell. Its all clear. Its a very high stair way though.

"On the contrary, our mission -- and my holy vow -- is to rescue her, first and foremost, and, by depriving the evil ones of her and escaping their clutches, exact vengeance upon them. If the villagers are reasonably likely to be an impediment to that, which I judge to be the case, we must not allow them to delay us. In fact, I believe them to be either active foes or unwitting fools placed so as to lead us into a trap -- that means we may have to neutralize them to escape."

Lillian slowly began to ragain her strength. Trying to stand on her own
"I cant leave yet. The drow. They took my things. My armor. Dad had it specially made for me. I promise to assist with healing if you help me get it back. I hate violence. So all I can offer is healing" she manage to say. Though mostly in a whisper
-Posted with Wayfinder
"Milady, armor can be replaced, but your life and freedom, and ours, cannot be. If we have a chance to get you out, we must take it."
Still with an arm around Nyroba Suny nods.
"Aye! We can get ye out'a here ta' some place safe an' then be comin' back ta' get yer kit. Once we know nuffin's gon'a come poppin' out'a some place, leavin' us in'a position of havin' ta' keep ye safe while we deal with whut ever t'is whut's come ta' get ya." (^_^)
