Zork with caution meets the new man, he says to Avan, "I knew I heard a horse, I'm glad that i'm not going senile."
Zork, after introductions, discusses the areas where Arthos has been to see if all the cave has been covered. He is most interested in finding a key and does his own search for it in the room where Arthos came. He explains to Arthos the reason for the search and the children they found.
Krusten has the door closed. She will listen but its not for her to foolishly allow just anyone to step in.
"I would be first to go senile, youngling." The shadows do seem to age Avan, his hood adding to the effect, but he is not actually that much older for his race.
Avan has a closer inspection of Arthos and the body.
Faerydae will most likely hear something rather than spot because she is busy with prayer and the girls.
Out of Character: OK so I'll assume that Zork's search did not get anything from it because you did not mention it.
In Character: Zork relaxes now that he has someone on the party's side. He starts heading back to the girls to introduce Arthos and explore that section of wall that is odd.
In Character: : Arthos refused to move having not gotten the answers he wanted. The boy would die if not taken out soon and these people wishing to drag him deeper into the cave was madness. And to assume he would follow even after one drew on him and the other threatened him. He continued to hold his defensive position and await the answers he requested.
Out of Character: : Sorry I missed a day's posting....I posted my response although it seems a little to late since the party is already trying to drag me along. I was exhausted after work last night and didn't realize I didn't check here, sorry!
In CharacterMoving towards the door and looking at Krusten"So what exactly did you hear again?"
Out of Character Sorry for any delay, I had "Things"
In Character: : Standing behind the two he made it apparent he didn't wish to go deeper in when the child on his back would most certainly die if he didn't get him to a cleric. "Gentlemen, please I applore you. We must get this boy to a cleric or he will die! Do not drag me into this retched place any further. I have seen things, I have done things no man should ever witness in their lives. So many children have already been taken by these monsters. This is the only one I found alive within these horrid catacombs. I assume you have explored the remainder of this dreaded place. Is it possible to leave now?"
