Watching Heric and LaReina walk away is the hardest thing she's had to do...
Kettle holds the torch high to light up as much of the area around her and Alex as possible, so that if there is an attack she might see it coming... Using a corner of her cloak, she soaks it with water and cools Alex's brow, while keeping her eyes and ears open for activity...
===================================================
Finally realizing that Alex has died, Kettle slides his back pack onto her shoulder, hoists the torch, and follows Heric and LaReina... shaking her head and pondering the waste of a life for a duke who may be evil!
=====================================================
"Alex did what he could for us,now he is gone,lets make sure that he did not die in vain! I have a new mission if we ever get out of here,kill the duke myself. Even if it means I will die. I dont expect anyone to be with me on this one, of course getting out of here may never happen. So I will concentrate on getting out of here and save my revenge for later."
-----------------------------//----------------------------//-----------------------------------
I guess we need a new party order then,so I will work on that.
I will say that we are going to check the next room after the spiders.
"I've seen enough!" says Kettle, covering her nose with her sleeve. "Let's move on." Both packs strapped tightly on, dagger in hand, Kettle backs out of the doorway and moves quietly toward the last opening... "Let's hope this one is free from vermin..."
===================================================
"I agree kettle,we should move on. I dont like the sound of birds either,but if birds are down here there must be a way out,right? At any rate we should not linger"
-----------------------------------//------------------------//---------------------------------
I will post in party order that we wish to move on to the next opening.
"What do you think that is?" Heric says quietly " A statue perhaps?"
-----------------------------//--------------------------//-------------------------------------
I will post in party order that we will investigate the figure with wings.
Maybe it was put here to ward off other creatures,or maybe it just has'nt seen us yet............
"Wait, Heric, LaReina... let's try something first..."
Standing as utterly still as possible, Kettle uses her thieves hands to slowly, ever so quietly, reach into her pack for a ration...and quietly, silently break it into small pieces.... she holds these in the palm of her hand -- and then tosses them on the ground at the feet of the winged creature. Heart pounding, she waits for it to flinch...
