Why was his bloody mattress so hard? He didn't remember the inn's mattress being stone. His hand touched it, only to report that he appeared to, in fact, be sleeping on stone.<br/><br/>With a yelp, the lordling scrambled to his feet, only to realize that he was naked. That was certainly not how he had gone to sleep. Gathering a few strips of cloth about himself and knotting them into some semblance of covering below his waist, he assessed his situation. The air was rank with stagnation, there was almost no light, and a cursory flex of his fingers revealed that his usual choice of magics, a thin protective layer around him, was not working. There would've been a little tingle had it been.<br/><br/>"Hellfire," he murmured before he heard a voice coming from the main chamber. Casting about for a weapon of some sort, Asher's gaze landed on a crude-looking spear. "Whoever did this, they didn't even have the courtesy to leave me with a proper spearhead," he grumbled as he picked up the weapon in one hand and an earthenware jug left next to it in the other.<br/><br/>He took a moment to gather himself.<em>I probably smell terrible.</em>With a deep breath, he swaggered into the central chamber and began taking in the environment. He entered just in time to hear the scrawny one mumble something about not being eaten.<br/><br/>"Don't fear, boy. There's not enough meat on your bones to even try making fillets, let alone a choice cut," he joked, sidling up to the slab and taking in the surface as he set down his jug. A prepared ritual, perhaps? The knife would certainly indicate that might be the case. Regardless of whether or not it was for ritual purposes, it would serve as a spearhead. Asher picked up the blade and drew it from its sheath, examining it.<br/><br/>"Looks a little worn, but still serviceable," he declared. Only once his appraisal of the dagger was complete did he glance around and sight Aira and Kain.<em>Well, would you look at the legs on that one. Those things go on for leagues. And I guess also there's someone doing the rational thing and filling a jug with water.</em>
