Voleryn shrugs and follows Kag up

"Merilin can likely handle whatever he stumbled on. If he has seperated from us it is by his will to do so. Perhaps he felt his appetites returning and thought it better to be away from us?" Voleryn reasons, she had no ill will for Merilin, but did not relish the idea of trying to find him again.
[b]"You mentioned a meteor storm, is this place in danger of collapse?"
"Lomrick, he's the one that wrote the book... is he in charge here?"
"Do you mean us, or other killers?"
"I swear this whole place just wants to kill us. Hit the metal creature, we don't need it opening the rest of the cases."
Voleryn takes a look at the diagrams, see if she can make any sense of them.
Happy to proceed.
"As you propose, though I would like to hope that not everything here is our enemy. By cages you mean animals, or beasts, rather than for humanoids?"
Glad you're okay. Living on high ground in a country where high winds will blow your fence over at most I can't even imagine what it's like for you over there.
"Someone should take that silvered axe, I'm sure it must be here for a reason."
"From what I've seen of Merilin's abilities, he could likely have torn us apart by now, should he have wanted to. As such I am inclined to trust him for the moment... Though since his instincts seem to have some control over him, perhaps it is better he remain well fed."
Voleryn passes the last potion over. "We need to find our way out of here, or somewhere to secure and rest."
"Fascinating." Voleryn holds up her arms in a non-agressive stance, conscious that Reishi's friend has never seen her before.
"This may be a trap, who knows what techniques these things may have to read our memories. Not that we should ignore the chance at rescuing your friend, but go in with eyes open." Voleryn answers Reishi's question indirectly, the thought of abandoning a comrade in a hostile situation is more alien to her than the last few hours have been.
Voleryn follows up using the rope.
"Well, how about you and Zeroks go first and Reishi and I will watch you."
"Not that I noted, though given the nature of this place we could have walked past dozens of them without noticing."
"I beleive your enemies are our enemies. We do not seek to do you harm." Voleryn calls out, but not too loudly.
Voleryn reads the text to her companions. "Could be an ally, if she's not angry enough to attacks us immediately? Of course that relies on us being able to communicate..."
Voleryn will take a last look around the area and cast comprehend languages.
"I am not so sensitive as to have my resolve challenged by tyranny. I was trained to fight, that the foe has changed matters little."
Voleryn examines the runes to see if she can detimine their nature.
Voleryn slips down after Reishi and Kag, frowning as she does so. "I'm not sure we want to run into whatever chewed through this."
Voleryn sighs "We do still have enough rope to fasten to you - we could have just lowered you down." reluctant to leave him alone down there she starts to descend at a more reasonable rate
"It may sound like a merciful death, but there is something disconcerting about being murdered while sleeping." Voleryn peers into the shaft. "Down and see if we can access this box, or up find another wayh out. If we're on some sort of vessel, upwards may lead to the deck?"
"I sincerely doubt he was carrying them for decorative purpose."
"I have rope" Voleryn rummages through her pack.
Hmm, completely misread that.
Voleryn stands impassively "Was that really necessary?" Voleryn won't lose any sleep over the creature's death, but it still does not sit well with her.
Voleryn stands back, interrogation had never sat well with her, though she understood the need.
"Sterilisation, I think not."
"They were different, I wonder if they were masters of this realm, or just slaves instead of captives."
Voleryn nods to Zeroks "Good shot"
With no idea as to the creature's strengths or weaknesses, Voleryn moves as far back as she can, while keeping sight of the creatures, and unleashes a ray of frost
"Oh, sorry, I thought you'd spotted something more profound. So do we open them up or leave them be?"
"What do you mean different?"
"No, but as I said my people stay to deep waters mostly." Voleryn looks around at the others for signs of recognition.
"If our bodies and perception were suspended in there, we may be years, or even centuries ahead of our final memories. Or it could be mere days, after all, our equipment was not in such storage, and does not appear to have aged exceptionally. Perhaps the Baghru were simply from a residual population somewhere." Voleryn tries to sound more encouraging.
"Is that what you are, Ultari? I have only passing familiarity with creatures of the land, most of my life has been spent in the depths." Voleryn considers further on an extinct race kept in storage...
"I can use magic to understand it, but it doesn't allow me to speak to it. It's taught to us more for reading documents than engaging in communication."
As a sufferer of endemic depression, I know what it's like to feel close to the edge. I wish you all the best with your father.
Voleryn snaps to attention at the hint of an order, with commands that make sense. She moves back around to stand behind Andretta, ready for anything.
