OOC - Hmm, now can I make Ameena's actions continue to look suspicious, I wonder...
BIC - Ameena blinks, focusing on Falkor. She's awae he's just asked her a question, but it takes a few moments for it to permeate through her weariness and numerous distracted thoughts.
"Wond? Oh...yes...the magic stick...thing...yes..."
She gropes around, almost absently, inside one of her pouches, half pulling out one of the unknown potions before actally looking down at her belt and administering some thought to the situation. Not that one. Wrong pouch...
She tries again, this time actually taking the time to
look where she's searching, and this time pulls out Soorec's magical implement. She has no idea what it does, but figures that Falkor probably knows, or he wouldn't have asked her to give it to him.
She hands the wond to Falkor, then becomes aware of movement behind them. The easily-recognisable scent of Haynuus is close by, and she decides that he's probably trying to do something. It's probably best, she decides, if she simply gets out of the way.
First, though, she turns to Falkor one last time.
"Whatever you're going to do...it had better be quick. We'd better get out of here before...one of the others arrives. And more grak-graks. Soorec is alive again now - he's in control of them again. So they might start turning into us again. I...don't know if I can be of any help."
Her gaze flits toward the door she came in by.
"I said I'd come back..." she says quietly, almost in a whisper, mostly to herself.
She turns away from Falkor and hops down from the altar, moving around it and back toward the door. She knows that what she says is true - she probably won't be of any use right now. She's too tired, too much in pain. And she said she'd return to Ardur - if she stays for the remainder of the fight, she'll be making a liar of herself, by getting herself killed and not being able to go back. She'll still need to discover the fate of Serfarrel, she knows, but even if he's...well, even if the grak-graks have...seen to him...hopefully the altar in the room will reverse that. Like it did to Soorec.
OOC - There we go. Ameena is tired, hurt (physically, not so much emotionally, for once), and somewhat confused. So she delays a bit in actually getting out the wand Falkor asked for, and then buggers off out of the room again. Well, alright, I'm sure she can't get all the way to the door in one move but she's headed there. She will have gone around the altar to the left (on the map - column E), and then across the northern part of the room (roughly rows 5/4), heading in a straigth line for the door. Btw, you neglected to depict the aura of torchlight on your latest map (was gonna mention this the other day but I forgot)
. I know Ameena's not quite mechanically incapacitated yet, but I figured I might as well play it up a bit. Another excuse to extend her obliviousness to the state of Farel and Westy
. I have a feeling the encounter is far from over, so far, but Ameena being so tired and hurt, plus what she told Ardur, are combining right now to drag her away from the scene and back toward the poor lonely kid down the corridor

Ameena may be about to become a flambéed murafu at the hands of Falkor...
