Ugh. Halfling did -not- agree with Albali quite so much as gnome did. The little thing wasn't disgusting or anything - if anything, he tasted a little bland going down, and wasn't much more hairy than the gnome had been - but it was so much work eating somebody, that it had to be a joy, or it was just work. Still, she was glad that he was occupying her mouth, because little Eiyre who -did- look tempting decided to come right up to her and lay hands on her! Had she not been already engaged, with the flavor of that first gnome still lingering in her mouth... well, she would have been happy if she managed to contain herself to a bit of leering and maybe wetting her lips. As it was, she shrunk back in surprise when she felt the rush of magic flush through her - it had been forever and a day since someone had to heal her - and then smiled guiltily, as though Eiyre might be able to read her thoughts.<br/><br/>Quickly, she poked the last of the halfling into her mouth and swallowed, so she could speak. "I, ah-- Thank you...? Thank you. I wasn't... you should save that! In case things get worse for us and I can't get to you in time. I still have plenty on this old thing." She fished out her wand and gave herself a couple of taps with it to demonstrate, shivering as she restored herself to rights and sent the arrows clattering to the ground. "See?" Now that she was aright again, she was even less eager to look down on little Eiyre, and intentionally averted her eyes. "Who else? Anyone?" Without a thought for it, she gives Gorun a prod, as though his answer is expected. She glanced about the room until her eyes landed on Xarithe again, and she scowled. Oh yeah. That's right...<br/><br/>She had some choice words to say to him, but Gorun deflated the venom sac inflating in her mind by accepting Xarithe's terms. "Fine. I accept her surrender as well. As is my -option- and that of everyone else to decline. Thinking with your prick may work well enough for you, Sir, but don't let it go making promises for all of us. Or have you already forgotten why we're here and what we're about. She's not some simple bowhand to tie up and shove in the closet. Do you think her word so trustworthy that we can simply accept her 'promise' that she'll be polite and wait here until we finish knocking some sense into her comrades? Or do you think we can spare your efforts now to sit here and keep an 'eye' on her while we finish what we set out to do?" Do much for deflating the venom sac. She harumphed, but her eyes narrowed. "We've managed to collect three people now who seem to know an awful lot about this cult. Perhaps we should ask them about each other before we make unilateral promises of gentleness and clemency?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Mechanics and such:</span><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Cure Light wounds via wand on Albali:(-1 use): 1d8+1: 5 [1d8=4]<br/>Cure Light wounds via wand on Albali:(-1 use): 1d8+1: 9 [1d8=8], which tops her off with Eiyre's help.<br/><br/>Cure Light wounds via wand on Gorun:(-1 use):1d8+1: 7 [1d8=6], which takes him up to just shy of full.<br/><br/>Spell list etc:<br/>Cantrips: Detect Magic, Guidance, Message, Stabilize<br/>Level One: Bungle, Ill Omen, (Mage Armor -SPENT-), Obscuring Mist, Reduce Person<br/>Level Two:Blindness-Deafness, Hold Person, Glitterdust<br/>Patron Spells: (Silent Image -SPENT-), Darkness<br/>Hexes: Healing (Used on Gorun for today), Slumber, Prehensile Hair<br/><br/>I've still got everything to dump on the big baddies!
