Skelly looks at Ratel, "You too smart. He'll no like you."
You feel some latent moderate Necromancy.
You hear the center hall door open, two people move through opening the far door and closing it.
Raising an eyebrow at the girl, "Who won't like me?" Wondering about the girl bringing him here. "Does he 'like' you?" As he asks, he uses his paladin ability to detect evil on the simple girl then Orsen.
Looking from No-Me to Ciri he asks, "Ciri, I've no idea what happened to mine, would you happen to have any extra gear I can use?"
Turning towards Thoron, he asks, "Thoron, I still feel weak, you have a wand of healing you can use on me?"
She says, "Him."
Ciri, there is a guy tied and gagged in this room. He appears to be a half-orc.
Tired of listening to the twit, go look in the other room, see what I can find!!
I help untie him and see if he's hurt
Who do we have in here??
Raising an eyebrow, Ratel doesn't recognize the armored woman. "I'm Ratel, it's a ..." He watches as Ciri heads down the hall, Raising an eyebrow he wonders aloud, "Where's Ciri going."
Dammit'Jim... this biggun rat-guy friends of you?
He in bad shape, bad mojo-juju mess him up real good.
Shaking its bulbous head, the goblin moves to follow Ciri, making sure to street clear of the lovers.
Jim did a double take when he saw Ratel who seemed to be falling to the charms of a rather demure lady. If this has been somewhere else Jim might have given him some privacy, but this area was fesering with cultists...
"Uh... Ratel!?" gasped Jim, "What are you doing here?!"
When the girl accused Ratel of being too smart, Jim's eyes narrowed and his hand drifted towards his sword, chances are she was a cultist.
Jim nodded to Fralk, "Yeah, we go back a ways..."

Raising an eyebrow at the goblin calls him 'rat-guy' it takes Ratel's foggy brain a second to process that the goblin isn't being rude, but just abbreviating his name. Chuckling, the little fellow was right, he was in bad mojo-juju. As Jim gave him the once over, Ratel, having realized the goblin was fine, but the girl may be one of the cultists, he steps away from her towards his friend. Shrugging, "I believe I am a prisoner, the girl brought me here, from another cell, but she's lost some of her..." He pauses not knowing exactly how to say she's much less Inteligent than she had been. "Lost some of her, eloquence."
Moving nearer to Jim and a little further from the girl, he nods back to Orsen, "I think we can trust Orsen." he leans in. ""I don't think we should trust her."
Stepping out in to the hall, he sees Ciri headed to the other room. Seeing the glass-steel spear, Ratel reaches out for it, "Let me borrow that, Once we know it's safe, I'll get more gear."
I help untie him and see if he's hurt
The half orc is hurt , and has clearly been tortured...
He is quick to thank you once you get the gag out; is voice is strained but he is polite "Thank you, thank you very much milady. I presume this is a rescue... and if not, it is at least a change. I am Terodius, Terodius Mitrakin. You should know there are at least two evildoers about - a wizard and a sorceress. They have been torturing me. They took a break, but presumably will return, although I do not know when. The pauses are irregular for more psychological impact."
Even as he speaks, despite his wounds, he is quick to move to the pile of gear in the corner. Brooking no modesty, he begins throwing on his clothes, armor and weapons as quickly as possible, anticipating the return of his torturers...
Giving the half-orc the once over. Orc-kin freed is good... crazy place tower, black, white... pfft!
You friend Rat-fella, he friend Jim an' dems. Then dems friend wit' me. Well, they no try kill me yet. He chuckles.
Hey! You know my name? Everybody know my name.
So everyone gets 20 HP's back. "Who is still injured?
Turning towards his friend, "That helped some, but I"m still a little sore."
"Thank you, that is a blessing, but still, I am not at my best . In my pack though , I have healing wands..."
Thoron's healing was just the tonic Jim needed, he felt right as rain and nodded his thanks.
Jim nodded to Ratel and replied quietly, "The enemy's got their hooks into so many people. No doubt we shall soon find out if she was among them..."
Accepting the spear from Victoria, Ratel nods, "Thank you."
Turning he nods to Jim, "No doubt we shall, but unless she attacks or attempts to summon something truly evil, I would ask that we leave her to her own devices."
Feeling Victoria's touch, Ratel recognizes the Healing flowing through him. Breathing deeply, "Thank you."
Realizing they may not be in any immediate danger he asks, "Does anyone carry cloths and armor I may use?"
As Items are brought out of packs and sacks, Ratel will begin putting them on.

When Victoria heals Terodius, he falls to his knees, his jaw droping and his eyes bulging as he exclaims:
"The power of Mitra! I feel it!"
He is almost stuttering as he asks the paladin "Who are you to channnel Mitra's might so purely?"
"No doubt we shall, but unless she attacks or attempts to summon something truly evil, I would ask that we leave her to her own devices."
Jim nodded to Ratel, he had no plans otherwise. Still he would be wary...
Glancing at the others Ciri had found, Jim said, "It seems we have found allies, truly this is a most unexpected boon! I'm Jim, a pleasure to meet you all!"
|
here Ratel, take this ring I was carrying, May it protect you in battle.
Victoria John eye are ice blue, she has a brightly glowing gem in her forehead accentuated by a beautiful headband exuding a strong presence. She sheds light for 20 ft.
Her goal is to destroy all evil and anyone who gets in the way or sides with evil, a lofty goal indeed. Chaos and neutrality are to be converted to law if at all possible. She is lawful good in the most head strong way and will force her host to find and kill all powerful evil without fear of death.
Accepting the ring from 'Victoria' Ratel mods "Thank you Victoria." Putting the ring on he notices the gem in her forehead. Commenting, "Interesting gem."
He gestures towards the bag she drew the spear from, "It appears we are in a safe place for the moment, May I search your bag for clothing, armor and other gear?"
Taking the bag, Ratel begins setting aside a few items, and begins getting dressed. Once reasonably armed, he heads to the nearby barracks and gathers a few mundane things.
Hefting the gear he'd packed, he nods to Thoron, "thank you." he looks from the dwarf toward the others. "I do not want to interfere with how you have been marching." He looks towards Ciri, shouldering the spear. "Where do you want me in your marching order?"
In the front please and lead, we will follow, that way I can focus on my support as a spellcaster and not be always in the front ranks, Battle Wizard or not, still a wizard
Nodding at Ciri's explanation, Ratel turns towards Jim, "I'll keep the spear at the ready, but stay close."
Gesturing to the room they came from. "You came from that direction. If we wind up someplace you've been let me know."
Turning to the south he gestures with the spear, "We'll head that way." As he moves he asks, "Who has magical light?"
Pausing at the southern elbow, he looks into the room towards the east, then down the hallway to the west.
The goblin looks up at him, Hey, biggun Rat-fella... You big. Powerful but... maybe little guy like me notice the little things.
Up to you. I can go... point.
Turning back and looking at Jim's pet goblin, Ratel shrugs, " The spear is long enough I can protect you if you can keep up."
Protect me? The thing seems incredulous, nearly falling over it chuckles so hard, it leans on a wall.
You know my name?
I no want you with dace full of farts... Huh? Face full of darts!
But, if you want... you go first. He dusts himself off as if sullied by the mere suggestion he needs protecting.
Pausing at the L-junction, Ratel, looks back at Jim, hoping his friend could translate what his pet goblin is talking about.
The goblin considers the big man's body language. Crazy bigguns... maybe you still lovey-dovey brain fog.
He slinks forward, taking point... with the point of his dogslicer.
The room is well furnished with two beds and a lamp and two chairs.
The goblin enters cautiously, making a show of his inspection.
Snorting at the goblins comment, Ratel, (from the corner of his eye) watches the goblin go into the room. Tuning he watches to the west, making sure nothing is coming their direction.
There is something trapped below the left cot. You cannot see it though. It appears to be invisible.
There also is something in the right hand wall.
Me thinks I... see something. There and thems there. He points.
Likes thems there but... not? You see'em Dwur?
After equipping himself, and before the party heads off, Terodius quietly uses his detect alignment ability set (cast detect Good/Evil/Law/Chaos at will), on his rescuers - especially including the dire wolf, Skelly and Orsen. He follows up with a detect magic on the dire wolf, as it is behaving in what seems a very odd fashion indeed.
Me thinks I... see something. There and thems there. He points.
Likes thems there but... not? You see'em Dwur?
Terodius considers the goblin's words, and then mutters a quiet prayer to Mitra . Then he joins the goblin, trying to see what he has found...
8 ranks +3 trained +3 wis
Jim looked but he couldn't see anything and when the half orc started spellcasting, he withdrew to give him space.
Picking up on the earlier conversation, Jim noted "It sure is going to get a wee bit crowded with all of us!"
Me thinks I... see something. There and thems there. He points.

[dice=Perception]1d20+8+3+3
8 ranks +3 trained +3 wis
He sees an invisible locked box under the cot.
Keeping his eyes peeled towards the western hall, Ratel hears Jim and his pet goblin talking. Knowing Jim will fill the others in as need be, Ratel keeps his vigilance, not wanting to be captured again.
What magic you use, I no... figure out. You can see thems, neh?
