"Rathil if you are going to do that again, warn us. Playing with other evil dweller. must be nice to leave us in the dark!

Rolls her eyes at him. I should have known you would have an ace up your sleeve.
Not even going to ask where you got that.

calli, would you help me change the bandage

The dressing should be cleaned regaularly." she pulls the rags off and pull back one th linen on the wound...It doesnt look good

Had to leave you in the dark, didn't know anything. And sadly didn't learn much. Ezrikai was not in a very chatty mood tonight. apparantly he is still a little sore about something I said to him. That was 40 years ago. Demons never have been good at letting go of old grudges.

maybe pure alcohol will clean it

*Looks around*

Speaking of which where did Alatariel go?

goes for the strongest alcohol..comes back with the liquor. she pulls out her dagger, holds it in the fire, then proceed to touch the would, Draven jomps....Hold him down please someone

what the hell you think your doing with that damned knife halfling?

Oh settle down you big baby, She is just trying to sterilize the wound. Surely you can handle a little pain

i dont like people coming at me with blades, and hot ones at that

Well you can either sit there and deal with a hot blade for sterilization and get the wound cleaned and taken care of or you can risk losing the whole arm to infection. Which would you prefer? That axe might be hard to control with only one arm.

*Rathil pulls out the crystal cube again and clicks one of the sides. A red spark shoots up but quickly dies out. Rathil sighs*

Damn thing still doesn't have enough juice for me to get back. Almost charged though.

damn orcs,, the minotaur grmbles, i should mass all my kinsmen and kill all of them

So I guess you didn't learn anything then. (Alatariel says to Rathil. She is bent over and a look of pain is on her face)

i was attacked,, what was i supposed to learn, let them kill me while i was walking alone not bothering anyone? or just run to the palace guards,

*Rathil goes over to Alatariel and brings her a glass of water. He puts his arm around her and tries to comfort her pain.*

Not yet dear, I am going back as soon as this damn thing is charged again. It's not designed to be used this much in such a short period but Ezrikai threw me out.

Thank you Rathil you have been a true friend. (she manages to grind out before a wave of pain racks her body. The movement of the baby is so great that it is visible to all around her)

*There is a flash of red light that shines through the pocket that is holding the cube*

Ah, there we go.

*Rathil pulls out a purple vial and hands it to Alatariel*

Here drink this. It is a potion of remove curse. I fear this magic is too strong for the potion to break it but it will help relieve the pain as it will at least delay the curse for a few hours.

*Pulls out the cube again and moves back to the corner*

I will be back as soon as I can, *He says as he opens the vortex. The blinding heat once again returns as flames leap from the portal*

Ezrikai? are you still there?

*A large green tentacle shoots out of the portal and tries to strike Rathil as he dodges out of the way. It is followed by lots of hissing and a few muffled gurgles*

Come on Ezrikai! I said I was sorry, can't we call a truce?

*Ten green bolts of energy shoot out of the portal. Rathil doesn't try to dodge. The green bolts fly right for him but before they strike him they all fly directly into the spider brooch pinned to his cloak. Rathil sighs*

Look, I am coming through, we need to talk. I am sure we can work out a deal.

*There is a few more gurgles and the tentacle moves back into the portal*

Thank you! No reason we can't be civil about all this.

*Rathil steps through the portal and it vanishes*

walk in looks around

good eve everyone
