Rosencreutz sat up, rubbing his head. The tremors had knocked him from his feet, and his skull had impacted a rock. Quickly taking a head count, he realized that Nevaeh was missing. A quick look around showed Ros where she was, floating in the lake like a party favor in a punch bowl.
Something had moved along the bottom, he remembered. There was nothing he could to for Nevaeh right now, unless he spotted a route to the other side of the lake. Swearing loudly, he started throwing large rocks at the bottom of the lake, trying to discover what had made the cavern shake.

Bella hit the ground like a fish on a slab, needless to say it hurt; she checked her vitals and made sure everything was working, and besides a nasty looking cut on her left shoulder she was fine...
She then saw Ros, throwing rocks at the lake She jogged over to where he was and said, "Is that such a good Idea, you might disturb something more dangerous than neccessary."

Fayth growled and pulled herself from the rocky ground; fixing her pink hair. Checking herself over, she carefully strolled over to the others her golden and crimson gaze lingering on Bella's shoulder. "You should bandage your shoulder if you can." she mumbled out before turning her attention to Nevaeh and the lake. Grabbing up a stick from the ground she rests half of it on the ground and allows the other to fall into the lake, drawing her hand back first. Wthout looking up from the stick while she watched it to see if anything happened, she said up to Ros, "Try throwing rocks at her Or at least the ice that isn't directly over her, maybe it will knock her over to the other side of the water... But it bugs me what the thing that froze her is.." In seconds she had pulled three of her small throwing knives from her person. Flicking her wrist she threw them directly at the glowing area of the lake, making sure to use all her strength so they made it to the bottom.

"End your petty attacks mortals," a monotone voice said echoing around the chamber. Although it was clear it came from the beast at the bottom of the lake, "I hold the life of one of your comrades in my hands. However, I am a civil being. There is no reason we cannot come to some... agreement in exchange for the child's life. If you have no wish to discuss such things... then I will regret ending her meaningless existense"
<It should be noted that this is NOT the same voice that is still offering you power... power to free Neveah! You are now faced with the option to bargain with this unknown creature or... Risk Neveah's life and initiate combat.>

Ros stopped throwing rocks, and mouthed to Fayth, "I had thought of that, but I could not find large enough rocks." Turning his attention back to the lake bottom, he half yelled, "You have us in a bit of a bind, creature, I will cease my attacks. I am ready to bargain, but an explanation on your part seems in order."
But silently, inside himself, he talked to the incessant voice in his head. What kind of power? Could I protect others? I will not fail them as I did my family. I will not run like I did when I was young, and a coward. But, I ask, what is your price? Will I be willing to pay it? Answer me!

Bella looked for something to bandage her shoulder with but found nothing, she decided just to let it be and shouted, "Name your terms, We would be very unhappy if something were to happen to our dear comrade, so if you would kindly release her we can disucss kindly what you are doing in this cozy little cave you have here"
She looked at Neevah in the middle of the lake, perhaps if we threw something more aerodynamic instead of larger we could release her... she thought to herself.. this may not go well.

Fayth growled when she heard this monster threaten her and her friends. Ohhh... If he didn't have Nevaeh it would sooo be dead. Sighing momentarily, she lowered her hands, which held another throng of throwing knives. Inwardly she cursed herself for letting them all come to this point... it had after all been her choice in which direction they went. Drawing her Golden and crimson gaze up from the rocky ground, she grimaced. She took a step forward and pulled out a small bandage for Bella, before placeing her weapon's back into their places. "Here." she offered to Bella.
"What do you ask for creature! We have not much to barter with, and you having your hands on our friend, we really have no choice but to listen to what you want. So let's have it already." she mumbled, yet it was loud enough for the others to hear, as well as the lake creature.
In the back of her mind she finally allowed Chaos to talk with this strange voice. "Chaos, find out what it wants in return for this power, and it's help. Do not agree to anything until I have discussed it with you." she thought to herself. "Thank you Fayth, I'll be good I promise, just try not to hurt yourself while I find out what you seek." the now soft and alluring voice spoke back.

" I will return your companion. However this is not done by any kindness on my part. There is a being within these walls who possesses an artifact which I desire. You will bring it and throw it into the lake. Do not fail me!" As the voice finishes the glow fades from the lake and Neveah is released form the ice.
<The voice offering power continues its offer regardless of people trying to contact it. It may be a one way conversation. You are now faced with locating an artifact for this being... one which it failed to describe or tell its location. You better hurry>

Ros quickly pulled Nevaeh out of the cold water, offering her his cloak. Looking closely at the others he spoke questioningly. "I feel that we should follow the kobolds and their guest, they may know something about this artifact. Regardless, there are two other tunnels to try as well. What do you suggest?"

Huffing, she sent a glance at the lake, her mismatched eyes blazing. Looking to Nevaeh and Ros, she smiled a bit. Sighing as she looked around once more, Bella was still there, that was good. Once more they were all together. She reached back into her mind and oddly there was no news from Chaos. "I agree with you this time Ros... Though.. I'm unsure of which way we should do this time. Maybe right?" she mumbled softly.

Nevaeh was cold, shaking, her legs felt like jelly, and she was really confused about what had just happened. The last thing she could remember was falling in and..... Ros helping her out. She had no clue which way to go for what, and decided to keep quiet and do whatever the others agreed on...

<Not much for me to say. You people head off in that direction you said you were going. And to your utter annoyment the voice is STILL offering you power! You enter a tunnel and the darkness returns. The air begins to get deathly cold...>

Ros drew his arms tighter around himself, and allowed himself a small shiver. Grumbling about lack of manners, and proper etiquette (Meaning the voice) he trudged onward, one hand on his scimitar, and another near his long daggers on his right leg. His eyesight was no longer impaired from that spell earlier, and he used it to it's fullest extent, checking around corners for their kobold quarry.

Bella took the bandage offered by Fayth, "Thank you" she replied, when the voice spoke again she remained silent not knowing what to do, perhaps we should follow the Kabolds she thought at that moment Ros spoke her mind.. Her mind then switched ideas, "Is Neveah okay?" she asked Ros silently as they trudged she kept on high alert, and her arm was feeling much better.

Slowly as they walked, she noticed it growing colder, and colder. A feeling in the pit of her stomach saying they should try turning around and cold left instead. Boy her luck was non-existant today, slowly she wrapped her arms around herself. "Ros. I think we should go the other way, if we keep going this way, Nevaeh will freeze to death in those damp clothes." she said up to him, as she slowed her walk some. "Your welcome Bella." she added before looking ahead where the light was dimming again. Something was giving her the willies, and it didn't feel friendly.... With their luck, they'd start going down the left tunnel and under up getting fried by a dragon or something... Paranoid, she looked around. 'I was joking about the dragon...'[/color] she thought to herself.
