Now that the initial rush of emotion was gone, returning to the fell druid took rather more than Albali was willing to put up with. Her stomach twists at the thought even of touching the woman again; she lifts an arm to sheild her face and turns away. But from a few yards out she can still reach her with magic to stabilize her, to be certain she comes no closer to death.<br/><br/>"What do we do with this one?  Didn't Lyla ask that we bring at least one back alive, and wouldn't it be nice to have a bit of insight into what we are facing? Some of you may not have stomach--" She nearly heaves at that moment, but just manages to hold it together "--for what needs to be done. They can go catch their breath elsewhere. But I would begin by suggesting we feed her her own fingers and toes, and bits of her tongue, and whatever else is required to be certain that she can never perform magic or change her size or shape again. Our druid may be able to help with what will be necessary to achieve such a thing, if we cannot think it ourselves. She is already blind, but I'm certain with a bit of effort we can render her helpless in whatever other ways we desire, but not so helpless that she cannot answer for what she's done, or whatever questions we choose to ask. Then we take that bit of rope hanging from your shoulder..." She motions off-handedly toward Turilia, "hang her from a branch where strange, spotted cats are unlikely to get a taste for her, and gather her up again when we return.  Are there any without sufficient resolve for such a plan?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Mechanics:</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;">Fortitude failed: 1d20+1: 4 [1d20=3]<br/>Stabilized her with a cantrip<br/><br/>Knowledge: Arcana: 1d20+9: 13 [1d20=4] (Boo) and<br/>Spellcraft: 1d20+11: 20 [1d20=9], whichever is more appropriate, to determine if Albali would know from watching the druidess in action what kind of things would need to be done to prevent her from working her magic, if it's not common knowledge.</div></div></div>
