Handing the reins off to her, he turns back to the unconscious catgirl sprawled on the roof of the carriage.  Although he isn't sure how much good it will do, he should at least extract the body so that a proper funeral can take place.  Looking over at the mess Alyssa made retrieving the body of the other driver, Kaelen hisses in distaste, but there's no other practical way of getting the driver out of the catgirl's stomach without killing her.<br/><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;">Kaelen ties up Big Belly (DC 33 to escape)<br/><br/>Escape Artist (1d20 + 14): 2 + 14 = 16  -&gt; Fail<br/>Heal (1d20 + 5): 15 + 5 = 20  -&gt; Success<br/>Escape Artist check (1d20 + 14): 12 + 14 = 26  -&gt; Success</div></div></div><br/>Kneeling next to her, Kaelen unties a sash running across his chest, which reveals itself as a long, slender silk rope the same dark grey as his clothes.  Rolling the bloated catgirl onto her side, he quickly and efficiently trusses her arms and legs together behind her back, ensuring that she won't be going anywhere if she ever regains consciousness.  Pulling off the tattered remains of his cloak, he ties it tightly around his hand in a makeshift glove before moving around to her head.<br/><br/>Wanting to get the unpleasant task over as quickly as possible, he simply grabs hold of her shirt with one hand and slips the other hand into her mouth.  He can feel her natural peristalsis pulling his hand deeper into her, and he's soon up past his elbow in her throat as it easily expands to accommodate him.  Pushing his hand into his stomach, he can already feel the warning tingling of her stomach acids seeping through the fabric wrapped around his hand, and begins feeling for some part of the driver's body that he can get a hold of.<br/><br/>Finally finding what he thinks is one of the driver's hands, he grabs hold of it and starts pulling.  Suddenly, it clenches around his own, and in his surprise Kaelen loses his grip; his heart skips a beat as he realizes that the driver is somehow still alive!  Leaning forward, Kaelen pushes until he's almost up to his shoulder in the catgirl's mouth, making sure to grab the unconscious driver more securely this time.  Slipping his other hand partway down her throat and pushes sideways, opening her throat up as much as he can while simultaneously pulling on the driver.  It goes slowly at first, but as soon as his shoulders are out of her stomach he slips free in a wash of foul-smelling liquid.<br/><br/>Turning his attention to the driver, Kaelen winces when he sees his condition.  Although he's still breathing, his skin and clothes aren't in much better shape than the other driver's, and he won't last long without proper care, but there was a little that Kaelen could do.  Pulling his waterskin off his belt, Kaelen douses the man liberally, trying to wash off as much of the remaining acid as possible.  Ducking his head down around the side of the carriage to one of the windows, he sees the Captain slowly getting back to his feet next to Dagnyr.  "I don't mean to interrupt, but our driver is still alive.  I've done what I can, but he's still in pretty bad shape."<br/><br/>Pulling himself back up, Kaelen begins to thoroughly search Big Belly, methodically examining every scrap of clothes on her; he knows from his own endeavors just how many places someone can conceal weapons or tools on their person.
