Are we able to drag her around, without adding more injury to her? If "Yes", we might want to get her out of here. Anyways, we might want to take a closer look at our current situation. As, in - this room. Search for anything magical or out-of-place that might have escaped our notice.

Moving her might hurt her, it might not. As I said, I'd really prefer to do it as little as possible, though she's incredibly light for some reason. Can't be more than 80-100 pounds at the most. Anyway, outside of her there's nothing much special in this room - Anything that was here probably didn't survive the explosion, because there's only shattered crystal fragments covering the floor now.

((And yes, yes you are going about it much too literally. :P))

Try to find the exit and take the demon through it. With us, of course.

While I basically would agree with GWG, here is my plan.

Time for Science!!


Draw the magical circle that we encountered on her skin, around one of her bigger wounds. Watch and learn. Yay!

If all goes according to plan, her wound just might speed up healing. Else there is nothing much that could go bad, except her whole body speeding up.

Garment-Check. Do you only have your bare skin under your clothes, or could you provide the damsel with a blanket? Yeah? Do so immediatly.

Not only will it state our intentions much clearer (wait, what were those anyways? I do hope "Companionquest"), it will also be some sort of initial "binding". It would also lower the chance to scratch open her skin on the floor and walls, depending on our own constitution, so do combine this with GWG`s plan, should mine get not enough votes. Might also hide her glaringly obviously "foreign" skin-colour, so very adviseable for traveling back to the peasantry infested plains that we call our home.

Edit: I think we previously covered "what`s the worst that could happen?" and subsequently arrived at our own untimely demise. Public opinion seems willing to take the risk, so there we go. Just saying is all ;3.

I can think of some other things that could go wrong, but +1.

We should quickly check for any crystal fragments that look different from the ones we already collected, and take samples if we find any.

Umm... anybody in here? I would recomend we,

A. Check her wounds, and attempt to cover her if we have clothing to spare

B. Search the crater for any crystal fragments, or any ashes that look particularly "Reagent-y"

C. Wait patiently for our enemy/ally to awaken, and rest while we do so (Dungeon crawls can be tiring, y'know?)

After dungeon. risk slight mentalist effect in order to separate one refined time into it's baser elements, then form some of the future essence and past essence into two pairs of lenses Overlap them and buy a small amount of gold in order to make a pair of "Time glasses" Light from the future goes into the future lenses, gets sent back to the past when it passes through the past lenses and then is received by your eyes, the amount of time seen could easily be changed by altering the thickness of the lens.

I take a few moments to experimentally ink a smaller version of the circle I saw earlier around one of her wounds, which does... Pretty nothing nothing sadly. It does cause a glow around her, if much weaker than that the original created, and it has absolutely no effect - for better or worse - that I can see. She does have some clothing, but it's admittedly missing a few rather large portions around her burns... Enough that it is probably best to leave my jacket here in case she wakes up.

As for any useful materials? Not really. There's a few more shards I might as well pick up while I'm here, but nothing too new or interesting. I've got no idea how long she might be out - should I keep exploring for an exit, or just wait here?

We can check the adjectent rooms, but better not leave too far, in case she wakes up.

Try to remember if we had ever come across texts detailing the names of a demoness.

Wait patiently, but wipe off the symbol, it could have reprocussions if the daemoness takes notice of it

((Whee, isn't applying to jobs fun? :P))

A quick search of the nearest hallway actually ends up revealing the exit! Turns out it was just down the corridor in the opposite direction from here, a glowing portal in one wall waiting for me... And now I'm waiting for this demon to wake up. It's been half an hour without any luck, though she actually looks better than when the explosion happened already. Enhanced healing factor? A result of that magic symbol? This dungeon's effects? Hard to say really, but her wounds have closed up to the point that her survival doesn't look to be in question any more.

...But still not a single sign of waking. Or even a twitch of a muscle.

((We have writing material with us, right?))
Write a short note detailing the situation, or at least what we know of it, and leave it for the demoness. Say that we'll be coming back shortly. Leave the dungeon and try to find some basic medical supplies, and anything else that could be useful.
