-----Raven puts away one of his swords and then roughly removes the wounded man's helmet. Raven examines the helmet for a moment and then throws it down the steps. Raven crouches over the man and then with his eyes locked on the man says, "Well Lovan, what should this man's fate be?"
-----"In a moment." Sarah's voice comes from nowhere. "Find out how many others are lurking about here."
-----The face beneath the helmet is youthful looking though the skin is a bit rough. Long black hair frames his face as well as a short trimmed beard. The man remains quiet though his pain from his many wounds is evident. He also avoids looking at Raven.
-----"Sarah?" Rinda says looking up. The huntress looks across the balcony but see no one. "Romney and Shema are below watching over Garrison and another priest Raven knocked out," she continues. "Many of the followers have been slain." The huntress frowns as she continues looking through the dim lighting. "Where are you?" she asks Sarah.
-----Lovan walks over toward Raven and looks down at his captive. "You have a use for this scum?" the Rager's priest asks the hunter.
-----Whether heeding Sarah's words or taking his own initiative, Sol begins to swiftly move about the upper balcony, searching for other chambers and rooms.
-----Sarah cancels the magic about her and the pretty young mage appears out of nowhere, next to Sol. "Right here, Rinda." She says. "I got blinded by the enemies' spell and decided to hide until I could fight back, I figured I would be more use getting out of the way then bumbling about unable to see." Sarah shrugs. "Let us regroup, call up Garrison and the others."
-----Raven says to Lovan, "Let's see." Raven grabs the man's chin and turns his head to face Raven. "You might get out of this if you tell us some things. How many more of you are in here? Why was your temple here? Was this now headless wizard your leader?" Raven's grip on the man's face tightens, "Think before you talk. The next words you speak will decide your fate."
-----Raven brings his sword up and places it on the man's neck.
-----Sol dashes off to search the place as Rinda approaches Sarah. She speaks lowly with the young mage staring suspiciously at the man Raven interrogates. "Romney and Shema are below guarding an armored man much like this one," she tells Sarah. "Garrison has been struck by a holding spell. Its effects should be gone soon, . . I hope."
-----"You have . . ," the man begins to tell Raven with a pained expression, "encountered all of us that are here." He then looks at Raven coldly, asking, "What is wrong with establishing a temple here? You have attacked us and murdered our followers."
-----Suddenly Sol flashes by the group as he heads downstairs. No real urgency seems to be evident though, as he appears to be moving at the same brisk pace he was before. The Gorian even smiles and waves at the collected inquisition to let them know that he found no problems.
-----Raven looks at the man for a moment and then stands, "For one thing, you take the hearts of people and offer them to your pit god. That makes your temple here an evil and vile thing. We could go on all night talking about this, but we won't. Shut your mouth and don't move." With that Raven turns his back to the man and goes over to talk with Lovan. Raven talks to Lovan in a low tone so the man cannot hear them talking.
-----Lovan replies likewise to Raven in a low tone and several times nods toward the captive.
-----A few moments later, Sol is seen leading Romney up the stairs. Both men vanish into the shadows of one of the hallways that lead from the balcony.
-----Raven looks at the wounded man and then turns to Lovan and says something in a low tone. Raven turns to face the group and says, "Take them all outside. Lovan wants them outside. Besides I think the fresh air will do us all good. This place stinks of evil." Raven walks over and roughly pulls the wounded man to his feet, "Get to your feet and start moving." Raven places a sword at the man's back. "You heard me, MOVE IT!"
-----Raven calls down to the two guarding the other evil priest, "You two hear that? Take him outside!"
-----Garrison, standing by the opening to the outside, calls back to Raven, "Will do!" He then moves over by Shema to help with their prisoner.
-----"You think you can truly stop us, little man?" the prisoner hisses at Raven as the hunter stands behind him. "The Gates of Hell will open soon enough!" Blood drips from the man to the balcony floor as they approach the stairs leading to the large chamber.
-----"Let's see how you stand before the fury of the Rager . . ." Lovan mutters with a menacing tone in his voice.
