Rihaly sags, strangely disappointed that they aren't in immediate peril. Not that she's overly fond of people threatening her life, but she'd somehow worked herself up to being half-convinced that there was something here. A trap, some magic, something! There is still a featherlight touch on the...
I have some information for whoever ends up watching from above (which is Chuka, yes?) and I'll likely convey that today or tomorrow ICly even if he hasn't posted anything about going up there in the IC thread.
The patrol will likely come into view at that point as well. ICly if you'd like to...
Being the queen of perception and the seer of the unseen that she is, the halfling was all too aware of the cloak-covered body on the floor - as well as the long object ahead and to the right, still indistinguishable in the darkness. Rihaly had higher priorities right this minute and swept the...
Rihaly couldn't see anything here, and she'd normally expect to if there was any kind of trap. Still, something about this just didn't sit right with her and she lowered the magical torch to the ground and set it spinning out to thud into the boot. If that didn't trigger any kind of magical...
Her sense of paranoia decidedly active, Rihaly froze the moment she saw the boot. She let her grey eyes trace across the room, contemplating the footwear, its surrounds and what might have compelled a wanderer (past or present?) to abandon it there. Had the wanderer left a foot there as well, or...

Good! :3
I could hear Rihaly hissing like an irate cat in the back of my head just thinking about the idea.
I'm usually pretty good at reading what she's going to do, but sometimes she surprises me even as I write her.
At this point she's genuinely accepted Istar's interest in her for what...
Only made it sillier. :coolshades:
The only person who's going to change Rihaly is Rihaly.
She's unlikely to stop her thieving ways even if it disappoints Istar, although she doesn't like disappointing her Princess.
So who knows? Could happen. But grabbing her out of the air will rile her.
Foxes and hens all over again.
Would Chuka trust the others around his wounded warrior if he did go upstairs?
Maybe Devon is the right choice for the job?
"Yes!" Rihaly cheered with triumph as the heavy door ground slowly open. Her eyes went round as she heard her voice echo down the open corridor ahead of them, and she put a hand across her mouth. "Oops," she apologized, more muffled now. The irrepressible halfling could not stay subdued for long...
