The Wayfarer's Inn

Sol suggests "Perhaps Gaderon could go through the same archway the Eilkhan did and presumably end up in the same place and then he could teleport them both back here if it is not someplace we need to explore. If we do need to explore it. We could all go through except for Gaderon, who could then teleport to us with our gear. What do you think?"

"Yes, I don't think those arches are disintegrating anyone.", Ahi says. "If Gaderon is willing, I support that course of action".

"I'll go", answers the mage. "Take good care of my belongings, and let's hope that we'll see each other again soon." With these words and without further hesitation, Gaderon steps through the archway, leaving behind all of his equipment that falls clattering to the ground.

Kherim starts gathering the lost equipment of both Eilkhan and Gaderon, waiting for the mage to reapper and resummon them, if indeed he will.

Not even a minute has passed before Gaderon's return. Naked and pale, he materializes in front of you, together with an obviously shaken Eilkhan.

OOC: I'll leave it up to Eilkhan to relate what has happened. But since both have been level-drained, I've changed the entries for Gaderon's spell choices and will send an updated character sheet to Greg.

Ahi speeds to Eilkhan and Gaderon's side. They seem week and fragile, as if holding their arm would break it as easily as a twig.

He looks to the side and says grimly

"I can not help them today. But during the next 2 weeks I will still be able to recover something of their essences, that seem to have been lost. They have surely been through a grievous ordeal on the other side", says Ahi.

Kherim brings the clothes to the others and at least covers them, if he can't help them dress.

"Let's wait for them to recover, we need to know what happened and how serious their condition is."

"Vampires," whispers Eilkhan "Vampirettes, sorry. And apparently a master somewhere. I didn't see he or she. There are human captives there and I think we should help them escape. Can't leave them there, it wouldn't be right." Eilkhan puts on her attire slowly but steadily. "I'm beginning to really hate this place, ha ha ha ha....."

Sol says "Do either of you have any idea how we can get to them without going through the archway?"

"Um, I guess the same way Gaderon got us out would be the idea, no?"

Gaderon replies "I can only take one person at a time and only have one teleport spell left at the moment. I would say you will all have to go via the archway, while I teleport in with your equipment."

Sol asks "So, how many vampirellas were there in the chamber at the other end of the archway? What can you tell us about the chamber itself? And, Eilkhan, did Gaderon appear in the room in the same place that you arrived or some place else? It might be hard if we all arrive in differnt places in the chamber..."
