“I can certainly set up some alarm spells outside our door. Give me a few minutes. “ Lawrance proceeds apace, casting the warning with audible tone inside the room, as well as at the window area and some little distance outside.

The twins are somewhat hesitant to speak of Gundahar, but eventually they say, "He never spoke of them in detail, but when blind drunk, and not taking it out on one of me, he would sometimes speak of being banished from his home, and wandering through the snows for weeks before finding a dragon's den."
There is no key to the manacles evident, but Lora opens them with little difficulty. Esmerandia hugs her warmly in thanks.
With a protective shield up and alarming wards as well, the group settles in to rest after the intense fight.
An hour or so passes, and all remains quiet in the castle. You have recovered some, but not as much as a good night's sleep would do. The question is, do you dare wait that long before getting on the move again?
Out of Character: you all have completed a short rest. That could in theory be upgraded to a long rest if you stay put.
Lawrance speaks up after the rest. “Hey if we think we can spent at least another 40 minutes or so, Poppo and I can identify the magic you’ve all acquired. Interested?” Pulling out his component pouch, he fishes in it for a moment before pulling out a small pearl and waving it around.
Out of Character: : haven’t heard from poppo much lately. And yes, I’m trying to bribe everyone into a long rest.

Tazskan, answers Lawrence "You don't need to bribe me to have a rest. Particularly when I've only recently escaped from a dungeon myself. Not to mention, some healing myself".
Lora hugs Esmerandia back and smiles at her." I'm glad that we could free you." She rests quietly for an hour.
After feeling much refreshed she looks to the group." That sounds fine Lawrence if it only takes 40 minutes or so. I think that in the meantime Cratol, Zarra and myself should check out the rest of this level. We will be cautious of course. I just feel like the clock is ticking and I hate to waste any more time than necessary.
Velon stands after the hour rest. "Ok, everyone ready themselves to go. What of our new friends over there? Do they wish to come? Can they help? Do they prefer to hide here?"
"Several good points have been raised. The minute they discover that something is wrong they could turn this castle back to the village or we could have their entire force upon us. Let us make finding this 'pilot room' our priority, and do so with stealth. Perhaps we can rest longer once we control the ship. Cratol, Poljen, and Lora will lead the way. The rest with me, and conserve your magic for tougher foes. We could use a rear guard, so that patrols don't come around corners behind us and sound the alarm. Any volunteers? Otherwise, let's move, floor by floor."
Out of Character: Rolling my remaining hit die. Unlikely I'll be at full health still, but oh well.
