Chapter 8: Forgotten Ossuaries

[kwll]

Lisglen approaches the cage and checks how feasible it is to open it.

[Wouter]

As Lisglen gets within a couple of meters from the cage of bones the skeletons suddenly simultaneously raise their heads and turn them towards the cleric. Other than that they do not move: the tight, huddling formation is maintained as eight hollow eyes now peer at the approaching adventurer...

[kwll]

Lisglen stops. "Who are you? How did you get in here?" he asks to the man in the cage.

[Etarr_the_Good]

"I am called Balthus. My tale is one of woe, but my immediate circumstance is due to my desire for loot and plunder. I was ambushed by these wretched skeletons in this accursed place. My sword and service is yours if you help me free."[/color]

Balthus attemps to rip apart his skeleton cage.

[Wouter]

As Balthus clutches the bones around him, trying to break loose, the skeletons all immediately turn their heads towards him and consolidate their formation. His attempt to rip apart the cage is utterly futile: there is no way he will be able to break any bones with his bare hands given the confined space he is in...

Holger will take a mallet from his backpack and attempt to break away some bones to free the man. "How did you get yourself into this?"

[kwll]

Lisglen puts his hand on Holger's shoulder before he can use his mallet and says to Balthus: "We are followers of the True Light. Are you keen to follow its path as well?"

[Etarr_the_Good]

""My lord, my sword is yours to follow you upon your Path if you free me",says Balthus.

[jcftao]

Memphisto scratches his beard, "How do we know you are not some demon and this is some type of conveyance to bring you to this world?"

[Etarr_the_Good]

"I have nothing to convince you of my goodwill but my word of honor as a Northerner"declares Bathlus. "I will fight along side you for days to come. You have my word!"
