The man grits his teeth and yells out an earsplitting scream.

(Everyone takes 11 thunder, CON 15 to avoid.)

Yuron moves in with his shortsword and knocks the man over the head. The robed man collapses to the ground.

Leofir CON ST 22  gods be praised again...Leofir is still alive, barely.

After the fight is finally finished and the guy is on the ground, Leofir is quite angry at him. "Grr... is everyone ok? Any ideas on how to restrain this bastard? He broke my rope into shreds earlier when lying on his stomach with both arms and legs tied around his back!"

He points to the closest cage.

"What if we drag him over there, lift up one side, and slip him under so he's in the cage? We can tie him up to the bars as well. Probably a good idea to gag him too so he can't cast spells or whatever he was doing. He can still answer Yes and No questions with a nod or shake of his stupid head."

“Grah!!” Rey growls. Blood drips down his mane from the inside of his ears. This persuit has taken it’s toll on him and he’s barely standing.

”Yeah, let’s shut him up once and for all.” he says. While the man’s unconcious, Rey will re-tie and bound his hands and forearms regardless and help Leofir stuff a bundle of torn cloth in his mouth and strap it there. “I think we should hold on to him though. I don’t want him out of my reach again.” Rey suggests.

He collapses on the ground, next to the robed man with the butt of the glaive pointed near his head. “Let’s take a breather.” He says, panting heavily. Rey looks around at the room that they’ve followed the robed man into. What does it look like?

(OOC: If needed, perception: 5 short rest guys?)

"Are you certain that we don't want to tie him up to the bars inside the cage over there? You could still keep hold of him through the bars, I'm sure. Even if he breaks free he has nowhere to run, but I suppose I'm not the one holding him so I'll go along with whatever we think is best...just remember he broke out of my rope like it was nothing and can slow us down with magic to boot." Leofir is definitely tired of the traps being sprung on him, so he's making it his business to return the favor to their architect, if he can.

He definitely needs a short rest, but not if this guy is going wake up in the middle of it and run off again. "A rest is in order, but I don't want him running away yet again." Leofir makes sure the cloth is firmly gagged in his mouth and that Rey's rope is tight, but he's definitely skeptical of its effectiveness on this guy.

He looks to Yuron and Shaa to see what they think. If they're ok with not using a cage then Leofir will stay behind the  bound guy, taking out a dagger and keeping the tip of it lodged right up to his neck.

 Shaa clutches at his head and staggers clearly hurt. 

Shaa waves to other on. "I 'll follow, but thank you for shutting that guy. I m tempted to do it more permanently."

As Yuron clutches his head and drops to one knee "We could just cut this guys tongue out he's caused us enough trouble and I'm sure it would stop this kind of situation from happening again."

(ok I guess that means no cage)

Leofir sighs and says, "Alright Rey, looks like you're making sure he doesn't run off. Just everyone be ready to attack him if he even moves funny. I'm tempted to slash his Achilles tendons."

(Do we have the benefits of a short rest while he's KOed?)

Yuron will look at Leofir and start to take his hempen rope and silk rope off his bag then hand them to Rey.

"I'm stuffing something in his mouth though..." as he cuts a piece of the roped mans robe off and stuffs it into his mouth.

(Behind bars may not be a bad idea, just waiting for the description of the room)

If we do short rest for an hour or so, Rey will look over the glaive he took from the man.

Two stone reliefs of stern dwarves in chain mail and carrying battleaxes face each other across the tunnel near you. The carvings stand out from the passage walls, and they have gaps around them, so they could be doors. The passage continues past them for a short while before ending with a stout wooden door.

(Where, how, and with what will you tie the man? Would you like to take a short rest that could potentially be interrupted if he wakes up?)

Do we wanna take him back to the cages and short rest there?

Shaa has silk robes. He is ready to tear a piece of it to tie the guy up.

DM, we'll short rest here. Tie his hands, arms, feet and legs (like a hog tie) search him, and I think we have like 3 readied actions to knock him out the moment he stirs.

The rest is uneventful. You here some scuttling around, probably rats, but nothing else. You feel refreshed and ready to continue on.

Do we find anything on the man's person?

Healing over sr: 32

His robes seem finely crafted, but their pockets are empty. You find nothing else around him.

OOC: Leofir already looted him earlier when we KOed him the first time and found a magical dagger (Leofir does not know it's magical). He was also gagged already by Rey and Leofir. I would have preferred to put him in a cage, since he snapped out of Leofir's hogtied ropes the first time, but if we're ready to fight him (for a 3rd time) if he attempts to run then it's fine.

Short rest hit dice: 18 (mistake...rerolling) 3, 9

All 3 hit dice used @ 15/24 HP.

Looks like Yuron will be scouting for a bit.

(The dagger which Shaa has seen to be magical was found with the other offerings in another room, not on the man's body.)

"We could take him back to the cages. If he doesn't talk, then we'll bring him back with us to the authorities after we explore the rest of this oversized rock." Rey suggests.
