Rick makes like Brave Sir Robin.

"Dahros, can you break down the gate? Or should we regroup and try this approach differently... perhaps at night?"
Rick sure as shit isn't standing still in an open field waiting to get shot. He follows along hurriedly.
Rick mumbles to Ykka, "We're bringing news from the Alchemist? Of what?"
Rick follows Dahros from a few feet back.
Rick starts walking off, clearly encouraging the group to wrap it up.
"Justice for Plaguestone and Bort! Now let's get a move on before I think of more questions for the orc."
"Where is Spite's cradle and what should we be cautious of when we go there? I can promise you that if only some of us return because of a lack of adequate information that you will be the first person we come back to have a chat with."
"Who is Vilree? Why is she bankrolling you? What was your task? Cooperation sounds a lot more talkative than you are."
"What exactly are you doing here? Who put you up to this? Why????"
Rick gives a confused look at d'Log. "You want to let him go? I'm saying we should run him down, or at least find out where this tunnel leads and if there is anything else nefarious here."
Rick points down the escape hall. "Any reason we shouldn't give chase?"
"That's grim. Shall we follow this tunnel through to see where it leads? Maybe this pit has more clues for us to understand what is happening here, though it might just be the machinations of this madman."
Rick takes a look around the abandoned room. "I guess we should pursue? Anyone able to patch up Dahros... again?"
Rick tosses more fire at the blob before retreating.
Rick keeps throwing shit at this thing that won't die. "Uh guys... now maybe is a good time to kill this thing!"
Rick waits until he can see the whites of the eyes of the ooze's prior victims, then lobs fire into them before darting back behind his group.
Rick reaches out to bring life back to Dahros, then flings a rock at the orc.
Rick tosses fire and a slingstone at the ooze, hoping to make a dent.
Rick casts some spells, does a merry jig, and gives the ooze the finger while flinging a rock at it's face-place.
Rick runs in and nearly trips coming to a stop as he sees the ooze creature.
"Oh gods."
Grimacing from Dahros's sense of humor, Rolo looks at Nali. "d'Log is basically a master healer, maybe he can take a look at Luna's wounds? If that doesn't work I can help."
Rick looks back at Skittles. "What's that frost vial for? Will that hurt the kitty?" While he's waiting he takes an appreciative glance at the laboratory equipment, measuring up how pack-muley Dahros appears to be.
Rick takes a look around, grabbing a few random flasks and beakers to show to Skittles. "You know what this is? Can it help us? Can it help that fire kitty?"
Rick throws fire and flings a stone at the orc and his flasks. "You shouldn't have any if you didn't bring enough for the whole class!"
Rick continues his magical barrage in an attempt to bring down the orcish alchemists.
Rick shouts as his fire flies astray, "Look out, it might get a little hot in here!"
Rick rolls up and starts tossing flames at the nearest orc.
Rick rolls his eyes. "Maybe next time we send the goblin in to take a look instead of the pudding monster?"
Rick ushers the group out and wires the pen shut.
"Yes. Let's come back to this problem. Kitty doesn't look like she's about to murder us this moment, maybe she can be saved. Or we'll let Dahros get more hammer practice in if we can't fix it."
Rick frowned. "My powers are all about heating things up, I'm afraid I can't make things frosty like Dahros can. Skittles can't you alchemize something here??"
"Anyone got anymore water to give this thing?" He pour out his waterskin and looks for a way to lock the pen back up. "Kill it if we have to, but I'd rather not see D'log or Dahros bleeding out again this week. If we can avoid it."
"Poor kitty."
Rick shouts "Stop! The other ones attacked us. This one doesn't seem so interested. Maybe its just hungry. Wait a second, unless you want to get scratched up and subject yourself to Skittles's tender care again." Rick ran out and grabbed another rat to toss to the cat. "Clearly he's hungry. Maybe he's thirsty too. Can't say I trust orcs to take proper care of an animal." Right in front of the rat he squirts a pool of water from his waterskin, then slowly backs away.
Rick stares at the creature. "Nice kitty?" He backs out slowly to grab a dead ice rat and tosses it to the cat-thing.
Rick follows along, hushing his fellow pen-mates. "Unless you scout things with your mouth then you should keep it down children. We have no idea what or who else is waiting for us here."
Rick took walk around the periphery, ostensibly examining the area and the corpses of the dead combatants. Pointing over on the other side of the yard he said, "Hey - is that where the horse monster came from??" As the compatriots turned to look he took the opportunity to perform a thorough scratching of the hind-quarters.
Rick steps to the side to get a clear shot at the horse. "Guess you guys got that rat, I'll help the big boy over here!" He claps his hands together and spreads his palms outward toward the stone horse, unleashing a torrent of water that blasts into the creature.
Rick steps up to get in range of the nearest rat, lobbing fire at it.
Rick steps in and around the entrance and begins by tossing a ball of flame at the nearest orc.
"In or out? Anyone else in there?"
Thank ya lass for your... kind treatments. I'm ready to keep burning!
Rick eyes Skittles cautiously. "Think you can patch me up without nickin' an artery?"
"This one's got some sear marks on it, you could probably take a chomp off that. God knows how a goblin's stomach handles half the things you put into it, this couldn't be any worse. Not that I'd suggest eating anything from this place." Rick looks at both Bort and d'Log, "Don't let that stop either of you from getting a snack though."
Rick tosses fire at the nearby plants that are taller than the grass, just for safe measure. He wings one past Dahros's ear in the process. "Whoops! All this wide open space and I still nearly hit your ego. Damn thing is huge!"
Rick brushes vines off himself. "Thanks for that team." Looking around at the dead plants, he smiles and says, "Looks like our work is done here!"
Rick desperately flings fire at the plant grabbing him. "Uhhhh I need some help over here!"
Rick throws some more fire and maybe a rock for good measure.
Rick steps up and lobs fire at the nearest deathbush, but he swings wildly with his toss and narrowly misses Ykka.
"Whoops, sorry! Watch that chord!"
Rick examines the brambles to see how easily they burn and how well the crew can fit through them into the lair. He casts light on Dahros to prepare.
