Rayne chuckled to herself, though Lizzy probably wasn't in the mood.  "Of course, Grogza, the bait has to be attractive.  But don't get too big-headed now, we're talking attractive to a giant block of wood."<br/><br/>She applied her wand to all present, herself first, then Grogza, hoping it would have enough charges.  She wasn't sure how much simple damage the others had received inside the iron maiden, if any... some sort of damage, sure.<br/><br/>Then, potion bottle in hand, she watched the wooden "man" for any sign of movement, as Grogza got bolder and bolder.  Nothing... slowly Rayne let her breath out, tension leaving her.  Maybe it would leave them alone if they didn't try to enter its shop... or maybe it wasn't active at all.<br/><br/>She went with Lizzy at Grogza's signal, though the archer still clutched her bow nervously.  And when the barbarian insisted on getting even closer, Rayne almost shouted out for her to back away, but she feared the noise might trigger something.  So instead she listened to her pounding heart.  She couldn't believe it when the fool prepared to give the golem a tap ... she was so high strung that the hiss from the side made her jump a little and swing her bow around, preparing to fire.  She stopped herself quickly once her brain's processing of the sound caught up with the reflex, and she sighed noisily.  Whispering theatrically she called out "Grogza... get away from that... come on."  She nodded toward the new light, then turned her attention more fully to this new curiosity.<br/><br/>No doubt the young man was relieved to see non-undead adventurers around here.  She waved to the young man, acknowledging him, and led Lizzy to the door he had opened.   He had the keys, she noted, so maybe he was "Adam" himself.  Maybe they were in luck - this place could have a forge.  And adamantine weapons would be useful if they ran into that iron maiden again... or hunted it down for revenge.<br/><br/>She felt there was nothing to fear - he seemed honest, and it made sense he might have been able to hide out.  Not that she'd she was any great judge of character.  But the others he spoke of... she glanced back at the wooden golem, with it's modified, but still quite threatening limbs....<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Used four charges of wand of CLW to bring herself to full HP, and as many more charges as it takes to bring up the other two also.  I don't know how many charges the wand had when she purchased it of course... up to 50, but could be just 1!  This is the first time she's used it.<br/><br/>Perception: 1d20a6 DC: 19 Result: 12 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=70048) Failed<br/>Sense Motive: 1d20 DC: 17 Result: 2 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=70049) Failed<br/></div></div>
