Surprisingly Folzi's eyes roll when he gazes upon the alchemist's lab, as it's not uncommon to find his kind in such settings. "This isn't an unfamiliar sight. Many of my relatives would be right at home here...," he trails off - he hadn't thought of home in a while. "Hmm... It's not safe to leave these things unattended," the gnome muses and begins to step through the door, his eyes continuing to scan the room. 

     In a deft movement, the rogue flips the dagger over to be grasping the blade  "Aha!," he suddenly shouts and releases the dagger towards a cupboard across from the door - aiming for the dead center of the cupboard door that appears to be slightly ajar. 

"Aaaah," a female voice yelps from inside the cupboard the door swings open and a female halfling in slightly wrinkled robes steps out hands up. "I... I'm unarmed," she stammers, "see," she adds holding up manacled wrists that are all too familiar with the runes for sorcerer are clearly visible.

Flicking her reddish-blonde hair from her face she looks out at the group curiously her expression frighten. She wears a golden amulet of Sune and looks well taken care of, not quite a Shepherd or a Sister but not quite a detainee either. Her eyes are large, reptilian yellow while her skin on her neck and spots on her face are flecked with green scales.

 Upon hearing Folzi's shout, Thomas stands from the chair and rushes over to the next room.

OOC: Upon seeing the halfling, Does Thomas recognize her in any way?

OOC: Knight roll history check to see if Thomas remembers her. Anyone else may roll too. Folzi and Leb with advantage interacting with the halflings on a daily basis sharing a living space.

Thomas does see Leb take the book. Anyone with a PP higher than 12 sees Leb take the book.

History Check at Disadvantage: 10 to recall anything about this halfling.

     The cleric is in such a hurry that his momentum was barely fazed as Folzi - seemingly going the other way as the others - runs headlong into Thomas. The rogue suddenly sees stars and spins on his tiptoes with the impact, as Thomas' knee connects with Folzi's jaw. He hits the floor with a slap. "Ughhh!" Being stunned for a moment or two, he lays unmoving on the floor waiting for his senses to return.

     He grumbles in gnomish all the while he is getting back to his feet and makes his way back into the room, still shaking his head. Since he paid no attention when the figure popped out of the cupboard, he now takes the time to see if he recognize this one as he goes to retrieve his dagger.

History 23

OOC: Everyone NEEDS Saute's luck with dice, those have been some crazy good rolls lately!

Thomas does not recognize the halfling. 

Folzi does, her name comes to mind his mind as he returns to the alchemist's room to retrieve his dagger. He thinks as he watches the halfling, as he moves easily through the crowd into the room, and remembers the rumors about her bandy spread around the gnome, halfling, and elvish camps. (PMing you)

Quote from KnightofMoonshadow >>

OOC: Am I missing something here? Why would Folzi be rushing back out of the room with the halfling?

 

Folzi rushed out of the alchemist room and then you rushed out of the library at the sound of the scream and essentially ran into one another.

The sound of heavy boots pounding down the hallway heralded the mercenary's approach as he went chasing after Thomas. For an exhausted man, he certainly seemed intent on rushing toward whatever the others had found in the other room. Haldur just managed to halt his momentum as the cleric and the sardonic gnome collided unceremoniously before him, but he darted around the tangle to glance into the room. Upon seeing the halfling, the young warrior snarled viciously and brandished his halberd threateningly from the corridor. He would wait a moment, however, before rushing forward and engaging in combat for those around him to distinguish her as friend or foe.

Regardless, his weapon was poised and ready, and he hoped he conveyed as threatening an image to the halfling as possible in order to elicit compliance.

     "Hmm... I know you. Lledright, right?" the gnome's nose crinkles. Then his eyes go wide with realization, " Ack! Yes, I know what you and Astrid are up to in here!" Folzi begins to back away with his dagger before him., trying to find a hiding place behind one of the bigger folk. "You're not going to get any of my blood for your experiments!"

Thomas is thoroughly confused as he runs into Folzi. He would take a few seconds to insure he was okay before moving on.

The gnome just seems jumpy, maybe he's a chicken or maybe there's trouble you aren't sure. He looks composed now, however, coming back into the room.

Hrain steps forward, slow to react in the face of so much coming and going the paladin looks concerned as he hears Folzi's comments "Folzi - explain yourself, what do you mean? Do not fear, no-one will be taking any blood here. And Lledright, not a hint of a spell, are we understood? I am in no mood for disobedience."

As Folzi moves back to hide, Thomas looks from the gnome, to the halfling, and then to Hrain.

"Experiments?"

     "They use the blood of gnomes and elves to make potions that extend their lives," the gnome squeaks. 

Lebenha enters the room the last one, looking around with curiosity. 

“What is going... oh! You found her... she's unarmed but.. how do you end he... wait, what? Blood? Experiments?” She nearly stumbles with one of the big glasses in one of the tables and almost drop it.

Thomas rubs his eyes and shakes his head while mumbling a quick prayer to Mystra for strength and Guidance.

Perception Check, to see if Lledright's eyes share any of the discoloration Haldur saw in the controlled Casters from earlier: 16
