At the bottom of the stairwell, Garrott lunges out with a blanket at the approaching windling but misses with his swipe as it veers quickly to the left. Elklisee loses her line of sight to the Windling at the same time and curses under her breath. But instead of making its way up the stairs as you imagine the Windling pulls up short and sheathes its sword.
You all look to the windling but from the big smile that is painted across its face and the chuckle that it gives out, you realise what has happened. Temorya has returned to his old body. As a group you begin to make your way up the stairwell, hoping that nothing has distracted your companions enough to let the old troll Todiel escape.
In the upstairs chamber the clanging continues rhytmically as you all gather to work on the wheel to open the door. The wheel is surprisingly light considering the size of the door it manipulates and before too long the door cracks open and you see two figures above you whom you have never seen before.
The first figure holds a long metal bar and appears to have been trying to lever the door open. He is a well built ork with long brown hair framing reasonably strong clean features for an ork. He is covered in leather armour that is coloured to camoflage well in a forest but only helps to make him stand out in the rocky environment of the Badlands. He carries a unadorned broadsword in a sheath at his hip and also carries a longbow with feather shafted arrows over his shoulders. He nimbly leaps down to the ground and turns to help his companion to the ground.
His companion is a tall but lithe elf. Her silver hair is strikingly contrasted by her lilac coloured eyes. You can tell from her equipment that she has seen little in the way of real travel, unlike her companion. Her clothes are still relatively clean apart from travel dust at the hem of her toga and some damage from the shale of the badlands on her sandals. She carries a relatively new backpack that bulges with her various equipment. She peers in nervously as the Ork gives her a lift to the ground.
"Name is Kerrick" says the Ork in a fine voice for one of his kind "and this is Ayoë" (pronounced A-jo). "I am looking for an old companion of mine that goes by the name of Garrott. He is an Obsidiman with a rash nature. And Ayoë here is looking for a Rhys Fellblade and the group he is travelling with. Are you able to help us at all?" The ork looks amongst you all.
As he finishes talking you feel movement and you see the old Troll make a dash for the entrance, leaping at the entrance as if to run out into the Badlands.....
