#06* Rolf flitters down to Victoria and de-bats into a crouch, looking for a place to move her to that's a little more out of the way than 'right in the center of the room'. <@Dreol> [Now that Rolf has gotten closer, he sees that Victoria's hands are covered in blood and she has several claw marks across her body. They look like they are probably vampire claws, but there is no clear way of knowing. The room itself is pretty open. There are eight cells, all of which have werewolves in them in various states of torture. The ones in the back seem calmer, and less exausted, and, rather than bleeding wounds, have deep scars running along their body. There are a few doors into side passages, but there is no indication of where they lead.] #06* Rolf checks the jailer for a key, then, looking to werewolves at the back, growling lowly, "Any o'you awake and up to some mayhem?" <@Dreol> [The werewolves in back narrow their eyes and growl loudly and then snap at Rolf and begin to strain against their bonds as if trying to lunge on him. One of them howls loudly.] <@Dreol> [For the record, Rolf does find a key.] #06* Rolf finds the key and hangs it. "I ain't from Carthage. I... uh, was just fighting alongside Harold and the Fianna." <@Dreol> [That does not seem to placate their anger. And as they growl and snap at Rolf he notices that their eyes are glazed over as if in a trance.] #06* Rolf watches them and sighs slightly before saying to himself, "Alright... now how do we get you out of here, woman..." #06* Rolf , while he's thinking of this, claws up and finishes off the dead torturer with AGGREVATED DAMAGE. <@Dreol> [The torturer is definitely dead, now.] <@Dreol> [However, Rolf hears footsteps coming from down the hallway on the left.] #06* Rolf lifts the body and tosses it towards the werewolves at the back. Maybe they'll think they got a good claw or two on them. #06* Rolf then grabs Victoria and starts his way up towards the surface. He'll have to try to wake her up on the way. <@Dreol> [Once Rolf leaves the room, he can hear someone enter the room and then start yelling something in a language he doesn't understand.] #06* Rolf lowers Victoria's head to his chest and presses her head against it as he moves, since that's where he took one of his big wounds, and tries to get blood into her, growling lowly, "C'mon, woman, we're not going to get out of here if you're layin' round like a high clanner." <@Dreol> [The blood drips down Victoria's lips and slides into her mouth and then after a few moments, her eyes snap open and she pushes herself up. "The werewolves... they've got them under some sort of spell or control... "] #06* Rolf stops and growls, "All of 'em?" You know how to break it any? <@Dreol> [Victoria shakes her head. "They torture them everytime they try to break out of the control so that they stop resisting. I don't know how you break them out of it now. But... we have to go! Troile has an army here. They will be coming once they find out that I've gone."] #06* Rolf nods and continues loping as fast as he can, upwards. "You, uh, can turn into a bat too, right? You and I ain't in no shape to claw our way through the city." <@Dreol> [She nods and winces. "If you give me a bit more blood, I can."] #06* Rolf nods slightly to himself and says, "I can take it if you can, woman. We ain't failing." <@Dreol> [She nods and moves her head to Rolf's chest where that same wound is and locks her lips onto it sucking his blood out of the wound and then, after a few moments, she snaps her head away, her face covered in blood, and sighs. Then she nods and her body begins to change form: growing wings and fur and the like until she is in the shape of a large, brown bat.] #06* Rolf hisses through his teeth, and then when she takes off, he joins her in taking to the air, leading her back to the group and possibly even a way out. <@Dreol> [Rolf and Victoria fly over the city where they see several fully armored vampires mobilizing. About a dozen are running to the same cave that Rolf and Victoria just exited from and twenty or so are running towards the main gate of the city, fully armed and ready for combat. They are about half way between the palace and the gate when Rolf and Victoria reunite with the group.]
