Ariv helped where he could in searching the room, but they didn't seem to find anything. The girls all seemed pretty nice, friendly enough and not so threatened by his appearance, actually interested in it. It was a new feeling, mostly people seemed to think he was an oddity, but perhaps these travelers were more worldly than the villagers he knew. Either way, it was a pleasant change. Introduced to all of them, the group took to moving on from the room, the dragonborn happy to let the stealthier members of the party scout ahead.<br/><br/>At the suggestion, he nodded a few times, stepping to Cortia. She did seem to have some sort of problem, and if he could help, all the better."Thank you," he said to her moving back the robe. "Apologies if this is a bit odd," he said, placing his scaled hands on the collar and a bit on her neck and back, trying to get a read on the magics within it. His own energies melded a bit with the item, causing a bit of a blush on his face as some lustful thoughts entered his head. Getting a feel for it, he released the collar. "How peculiar...The enchantment on this is quite powerful, high level magics. It's been altered though, uh, aimed more towards making the wearer subservient to perverse orders. The enchantment has a connection to this place, outside the tower I doubt it will have any effect at all," he said, explaining as they walked, yellowish eyes widening as they suddenly happened upon the large half-orc. Again, surprise guided his actions as firey energy started to gather in his hands.<br/><br/>While a bit simple, his words seemed to suggest that he wasn't looking for a fight. Even so, a large orc was menacing, the energy left his hands but he was at the ready. Were they thieves? Ariv hadn't thought so, but...he was intending to take something from this place that didn't belong to him. Does that count if it was to save his village? His thoughts were interrupted by Lea suddenly appearing under the giant of a man, sword poking toward a bit of an awkward place. "You're a guard here?" he said first, Lea having a good question of who wanted him to guard. "What exactly are you protecting?" he asked, wondering more about that, if he might have an idea what the demon wanted from this place.
