Iveta darts over to the vedalken, sliding a bundle of herbs from her sleeve, which she crumbles under his nose before checking for cuts and bruises in an attempt to stabilize him. "Stay with us," she whispers, "you'll be all right."
"Iveta, here are some pitons. Use that hammer I gave you to drive them into the coil. Bartash, here is another light hammer for you. Drive it into the highest point you can on the wall or ceiling."
"Don't worry friend, well we'll get you out of there." he says coolly to the trapped Vedalken.
To Bartash, he holds out a crowbar. "Here you go, sir. Please use this here." He says, gesturing to a spot on the floor where some rubble creates a fulcrum for the coil to be raised.
Ooc: the block and tackle allows lifting 4x carrying capacity, the crowbar gives advantage to strength checks.
Under what was quite exact instructions, the group finds themselves moving into quite well-executed motion. While the others work to lift the coil free, Evita checks the man's wounds and is able to stabilize him, keeping him from passing out as the coil is lifted free. In a matter of moments the work is done and the man is free.
"Thank you very much for the aid." He says with a nod of his bald head. "But I need you to go now... The galvanice weird I was using as an assistant did all of this. Please track it down and keep it from doing more damage. I can offer you two potions of healing for this..." He looks quite worried. "But you must hurry before it causes any more chaos..."
As Bellov freed and stable Bartash will lower the crowbar again and return it and the hammer to Nivrell. That was a good plan.He says to him and leaves it at that.
Bartash will not take the potions yet, assuming others will. Combining the clues he knows what was here and that it went out through the outer door of the building. But Bartash will look at Bellov saying We will need access to the room in the floor above. The one with the chains and airlock system. This lab is no longer safe and it will need to be secured.
He will look around some more Once this building is secured i will find the weird.
Juri steps up to Bellov. “What happened here exactly. I mean what did ya do to get the weird to turn and go and do this?” Juri looks around the room slowly.
Looking at Bartash and nodding, “This guy here may be right. If we’re the only ones down here, I think we should make sure other Izzets are safe too and not pinned down like you. And to be clear....are you offering us these potions now for saving your ass....or later after we clean up you mess too?”
"A weird did all this?! Where do you think it's headed, now?" Nivrell's apprehension turns to methodical intensity but just as quickly fades to the thought of Roya.
"Bellov, have you seen a Chemister called Roya? She works in the blister coils. I was on my way to meet her when we discovered this mayhem." Nivrell confides to the other Vedalken.
Nivrell takes the potions of healing and hands one to Iveta, because he senses her healing talents may come in handy and that makes her a high value target.

"The storage room?" The lab manager asks with a confused look. "Certainly you can have a look in there if you wish..."

"Roya, she went home for the day." The lab manager replies with a shake of his head. "I sent everyone home earlier, and was just doing some last things before I went as well." He shrugs. "I have no clue why it did all of this..."
Juri steps up to Bellov. “What happened here exactly. I mean what did ya do to get the weird to turn and go and do this?” Juri looks around the room slowly.

And to be clear....are you offering us these potions now for saving your ass....or later after we clean up you mess too?”
"Everyone else went home for the day, but I can show you the storage room if you want..." The man looks confused still. "I really would like you to get after the weird though, before it causes more harm..." He hands over the two potions. "You can have these now, just please see what you can do about the weird..."
Zef taps Nivrell’s shoulder and holds his hand out. “Potion?” He says it in a way that sounds like he’s asking, but he doesn’t like talking much. For a second, Zef winces, still in pain from the fights against the mephits.
"I don't know, Juri." Iveta purses her lips. "The sooner we get out of here the better, but now I know my cousin's safe, I just want to go back to the vernadi and relax in the gardens. Still...the Worldsoul brought us together for a reason, and we can't have that thing wrecking any more of the city." She tugs her coat closer around her. "If you're set on hunting that thing, I'll come along." She turns to Bellov. "We'll deal with the weird; try to rest yourself for a while."
Looking to Zef, Nivrell holds out the potion. "Here, you are. I must say, your injuries are more severe than I at first noticed. When you were lifting that blister coil, you looked the picture of vigor. Please take this, and watch out for those volatile reactions.... And I'll do the same."
"That reminds me..." he trails off as he retrieves his block and tackle and rope, leaving the pitons in place, "this could prove to have further utility. Will you be needing that hammer, still?"
Ooc: sorry I about the oversight. I checked hp across the party, but I can't see Zef's character sheet.
Iveta darts over to the vedalken, sliding a bundle of herbs from her sleeve, which she crumbles under his nose before checking for cuts and bruises in an attempt to stabilize him. "Stay with us," she whispers, "you'll be all right."

Juri sees this happening and tries to rush in as well. He casts mage hand to help in the moving of the debris.
Surveying the scene, Nivrell leaps into action.
"Iveta, here are some pitons. Use that hammer I gave you to drive them into the coil. Bartash, here is another light hammer for you. Drive it into the highest point you can on the wall or ceiling."
"Don't worry friend, well we'll get you out of there." he says coolly to the trapped Vedalken.
With the others' help, he rigs up a block and tackle to the coil. Gesturing to Zef, Nivrell asks, "Sir, will you pull this rope, hempen (50 feet)?"
To Bartash, he holds out a crowbar. "Here you go, sir. Please use this here." He says, gesturing to a spot on the floor where some rubble creates a fulcrum for the coil to be raised.
Ooc: the block and tackle allows lifting 4x carrying capacity, the crowbar gives advantage to strength checks.
Zef nods briskly. “Name is Zef.” He takes it into his hands and starts pulling it to lift the weight.
Since it sounds like Nivrell knows what he is doing and there not being any time to argue Bartash will follow his instructions.
First he will put up a piton in the wall using the hammer. Placing it as high as Bartash can reach.
Being handed the crowbar Bartash will try to leverage the coil up while the others pull it using the rope.

Completely forgot the athletics check for Zef pulling that rope: 17

Bellov glances to you as he is saved...

Iveta mumbles a thank you as she taps her foot nervously, watching Bellov's face to glean any additional insights.

You feel he is being truthful and is very sincere.

“You guys want to go after this thing now? Let’s get healed this guy healed up maybe? In case you didn’t catch it in the chaos, I’m Juri.”
"I don't know, Juri." Iveta purses her lips. "The sooner we get out of here the better, but now I know my cousin's safe, I just want to go back to the vernadi and relax in the gardens.

"Oh, what a relief to know that Roya is safe."

((I forgot it was on private. Go ahead and check if you see it now. Zef is at 4/14))
