OoC - I like the think that our merry band was so traumatized by the crawling hand that we all see it as still crawling around...

Pascal looks the hand over, “Y’all still need that? Cause that could make a great set of snacks for later.”

Drusk, please make an Insight check.

Pascal looks the hand over, “Y’all still need that? Cause that could make a great set of snacks for later.”

 Drusk: "I wouldn't. You don't know where that hand has been."

To Beaumont: "What was the date you were captured?" (Want to hear his response before telling him the current date. Also, while Drusk would know the date, I do not.)

Jorin smiles, listening to Drusk and Pascal go back and forth about eating the hand before saying, "C'mon Drusk, what do you have against finger food?" and then bursts into laughter.

Criella is aghast at the joke.

Beaumont says, "It is... um, it is hard to recall. it was the insert date approximately 100 years ago because I, too, do not know the relative dates ..." He stares at your faces. "What is wrong?"

 Pascal shrugs, “Well, lemme know when y’all need it gone. Never tried elf hand before. Probably could just cure it for a while.”

Mavis gives Pascal a sharp look. "I think we will be keeping this... thing... intact to be studied," and she firmly takes the limp hand away from Drusk, putting it in one of her bags where Beaumont can't see it. Mortimer (her cat) plops down on the bag and stares at you all with yellow eyes. "Honestly," she says to herself. "Grown men."

Pascal shrugs and enjoys his rack of lamb, “Huh, never would’ve guessed that flavor.” Pascal munches intriguedly.

Jorin has finished tending to the one axe, he stows it back on his belt and begins working on the other.  He is still smiling, pleased with himself for such a clever joke as Beaumont says the date.  He looks up at him and says, "Did i hear you right?  [Date] was over 100 years ago.  You have been down there a long time.  I am..." he pauses for a moment, "sorry we did not cross your path sooner." he adds, with genuine sincerity. 

What color is left in Beaumont's face drains away. "I have been... my life... it is all gone. Oh Morninglord, am I forsaken? I have been denied a new beginning..." and he closes his eyes and seems to be praying silently as tears trickle down onto the mattress.

"Tut tut," the elderly Tiefling says. "I think we can dispense with these bonds," she looks pointedly at Jorin. "Put those sharp toys to good use, young man, and undo this wretch's ropes."

Jorin finishes cleaning the second axe and crosses the room to stand over the crying half-elf.  He looks down at him and says, "Do not give me another reason to have to clean these blades." as he unties the bonds. 

"I think you may have been given a new beginning."

Drusk: "I don't think you should threaten him over a little crying... Criella, do you have anything a bit stronger than water? Looks like Beaumont could use a stiff drink. Probably Hildigrim too, after a meal tried to eat him downstairs."

Pascal jiggles the ice cubes, “I got some weird ooze ice if y’all wanna try some.”

Jorin perks up at the mention on strange foods, "Oh yes, I would like an ooze cube."

Pascal tosses him one.

Jorin attempts to catch it in his mouth, like a flying shrimp at a hibachi restaurant. D20  18  +5 for athletics or +2 for acrobatics

Edit: OoC - gonna need another cube, lol

The not-still-frozen-but-cold piece of gel lands on Jorin's cheek. He picks it off and slurps it down. Whatever Pascal has seasoned it with has taken the pain out of it, but it still burns a little going down. It's still not pleasant.

Criella says, "I have no drink but water." She shakes a full ewer. "There's a well out behind the cottage."

Vanja helps herself to some of the lamb/mutton and takes it over to where Beaumont has curled up, offering him some, along with some more water. Mavis settles into the one chair, up next to the bed. Mortimer glares balefully at everyone.

OOC > In another round of RP, Beaumont will open up, then you can all get some sleep.
