    "Great! Please Lanitfat don't wake him up" Ghiso said, having no intention of manhandling him.

    ”Okay,” Lana shrugged and hopped back down the stairs.
    “Bump bump bump bump bump...”

    For a few moments there was silence from Rose's room. Maybe she was out? Then the sound of footsteps moving around the room and a familiar voice.
    "Coming!"

    Shortly thereafter Rose finally opened the door. There was a gentle smile on her face and her combat equipment (including chainmail and halberd Taara hadn't seen before) were neatly arranged in a corner of the room.
    "Sure! A mystery sounds like fun!" Rose said with a widening smile.

    Taara meekly clutched her staff, from which a small rabbit's foot loosely hung, and cowered slightly but eventually managed to return a slight smile. She turned and headed down the hallway quietly. "There is a priest here taking care of Zarron, he's one of our friends, he put on a cursed medallion" she took the one she had nabbed from the cultists out of her pack and held it up "But in return, we are going to look for a relic that was stolen from their temple."

    Zarron is not asleep long enough for any dreams, or nightmares, to happen before Teoz arrives with the others.

    The cleric pulls a sack out from under his robe, reaches in, and pulls out a pair of manacles tossing them towards Zarron. They fly over and clamp themselves onto Zarron's wrists.

    He moves over and takes a look at the amulet Zarron is wearing "Hmm, yes this is a depiction of Brannulv. Poor child, symbols of evil spirits are not to be trifled with."

    Without bothering to wake him, Teoz pucks up Zarron and slings him over his shoulder.

    "We shall have to preform several rituals to be sure the amulet can be removed safely and that your companion is free of corruption."

    Upon being plucked up and boyhandled, Zarron takes up with a start. He is groggy at first, but soon realizes that he has been restrained.

    "HELP! HELP! KIDNAPPER!" he screams, kicking at his abductor.

    Taara hears the screaming and as her ears perk up she turns to face the source. "Sorry, I should help with this." she bows slightly to excuse herself from talking with Rose and moves to Zarron and Ghiso's room.

    "Zarron, calm down. We are having the curse removed so you can take that medallion off," she explains to try to placate the boy.

    She then addresses Teoz, "Mister Teoz, if you need help keeping him restrained I would be glad to be of assistance." She looked down embarrassed "Also, it may be selfish of me to request, but I have questions to ask and wish to receive guidance from you."

    Ghiso had to admit he was feeling a bit guilty.
    "He isn't going to hurt you, Zarron. I swear on that- you'll understand once he's done" he assured him "And we'll be coming with you anyway. But you wouldn't want to come if we let you walk by yourself"
    ...maybe.

    When Rose showed up Ghiso turned to look at the newcomer, briefly connecting the dots.
    "You Rose? Lanitfat's friend?" he asked "I'm Ghiso Durant. It'd be impolite to ask somebody else's identity without offering mine first. I... Apologize for the show" meaning the screaming half-elf.

    "Teoz -it's his name- will cast a few spells, probably some rituals that won't involve injuries of any kinds. He's a priest of the same Great Spirit Caillenam was of- you trusted him enough, didn't you?" Ghiso continued "Although that wasn't the best way to be woken up, I'll admit.

    "I can just be tied up when and if I get checked" Ghiso offered. He actually considered the idea of doing that as a show of good faith, but he might need his hands free.

    This could happen after she gets an answer from Teoz, because she'll be waiting for that


    "For safety, whatever you need to bring will be appreciated," she responds to Rose, still standing meekly before her like an animal showing its belly, then follows Teoz and Ghiso.

    "Nothing to worry about young master Zarron. The manacles are to protect everyone from what that medallion might try to make you do to us. We'll have you free of the evil thing in a few hours."

    Teoz casts guidance on Taara, because he has a sense of humor, though it probably expires before she can do much with it.


    ---

    Back at the temple of Matatabi Teoz brings Zarron to a ritual room and secures the manacles to the floor in the center of a large inscribed circle. Then talks to some other members of the temple about what will be needed.

    Many cats sit around the edge staring at Zarron.

    "It is something private," Taara explains in a mutter, though understating the issue slightly. "I was impatient. Asked in the wrong situation. Selfish" she jabbed herself in the head "it can wait for later."

    Upon going downstairs she almost tackled Lana in a tight hug. "I missed you while I was upstairs. I got anxious." she smiled

    Ghiso looked confused at Taara's exchange with Teoz but decided it was better left alone at the moment.

    Deciding he was going to ignore the meowing bard, he turned to Lana "I should show you where the relic disappeared from, if you'll follow me" He told her before heading (if she followed) where he had been shown the empty pedestal.
    "It was an azurite carving of Matatabi- big like this" he showed the size with his hands.
    "I was thinking, since it's full of cats, that you could ask them who they saw if they did"

    Rose looked around the temple delighted at the adorable cats but decided to stay standing since in order to sit down to interact with them she'd have to find somewhere to put her halberd and didn't want any cats accidentally injuring themselves on it.

    She did however also maintain a careful eye on Zarron, just in case something went wrong.
