Tanea, Halfling Shaman (female)
So this was it. I bit my furry companions goodbye, thinking "I'm sorry. I can't protect you from them and I can't protect them from you. Who am I kidding? I can't even protect myself. We have to find our own ways - separately." As we look each other in the eye, it seems like they understand, seems to be so much wisdom in their dark eyes, but it is just a moment each and then they go on their way and I turn my attention to Siegfried. On my way over to him, I can see, that he indeed hit his head. I hear BenKii shout his farewell to the rats and reassurance to me. A "Thank You" is all I manage in return as my thoughts and emotions are all a jumbled mess. I stand next to Siegfried and lay my hand on his forehead. I can feel the familiar warm tingling, it only accentuates this nagging coldness, that's still lingering in my bones. What is that? I let it go. Siegfried first. And sure enough, he opens his eyes and gets to his feet with Roosevelt's help, standing unsteady. As on cue a Holy Guardian approaches, sent by Rufus I assume, to pick Siegfried up and carry him towards the group. Me and Roosevelt fall into step beside him. And so we return to the group - and the ominous doors. The attention seems to be split between the two, a tense expectation among those near them. What is going on now? Can't we just follow the tunnel, so we can find a way out of here? Surely at least one of these big tunnels must lead back to the outside? I just hope we didn't pick the wrong one, as my thoughts return to my furry friends, albeit most likely only temporary friends. Do they really live _here_? Wouldn't they be happier in the hills and woods? Will we meet again? I squelch that thought as quickly as it came. No good will come of this. The lingering coldness in my bones seems to agree. How strange.
Tanea, Halfling Shaman (female)
--------------------
58 - FlockeSchnee - Tanea - Halfling Shaman
Tanea positions herself in the middle of the tunnel (at equal distance from either door), but about 6 feet down (towards the main tunnel) and watches intently what happens at the doors. She keeps her spells "Entagle" and "Sleep" ready, should an attack on her companions occur by a valid target for either spell coming through either door. If the attacking target is valid for both spells she will use the one with better success chance and if that is equal too, choose at random (DM may choose/roll a die). (Sorry for this long mess. I tend to overdo things sometimes.)
(I read the last "summary" as Tanea returning to the group at the side of the Holy Guardian, that's carrying Siegfried, with Roosevelt on the other side. If I misinterpreted that: Tanea is moving back to the group -avoiding the acid trap- and then does, what I wrote before this.)
Tanea also keeps her ears tuned for sound of claws coming from behind her (main chamber) and will keep her "Calm Animals" spell ready, should the rats return in an "unhappy" state.
EDITED because I looked at my notes about some spells and realized, I can "undo" both spells myself. *facepalm*
(Corrected some spelling.)
