Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
The word you're looking for is friend, and yes, yes they are, Antal is troubled by what Yilminri has said, "friends." Maybe she charmed him? Which way did they go?

Audric smiles gratefully to Rana as she helps him putting back his armor, and goes to see if Llaars needs any help, concerned with the fall he took. He looks exasperately at Antal, when it's clear that he is just keeping on the conversation without aknowledging them "Antal." he says, sternly "Would you mind including us in the conversation, too?" then as an afterthought "What language are you talking anyway?"

Gnomish, he speaks it rather brokenly. Says he ran across a sorceress and a human I'm hoping is Paral. And the boats are missing- hey, give me a second, Antal wanders back the way he came, looking for the gnome, Hey, Kerj, I found the source of the sound, it was my friends, it's safe.

"What in... ANTAL!" Audric takes a couple of quick steps after him, physically blocking him if he has to "You irresponsib... stop right where you are, you hear me? You are not leaving my sight again, not after that latest stunt you pulled. What in Aldaran's name were you thinking anyway, teleporting away? Do you even understand the concept of "dangerous" at all?". Despite the nature of his words, he keeps his voice low. It is quite unusual for Audric to go on a rant like this one, but he has been worried for the halfling's wellbeing for the last couple of hours, and it should be clear by his expression that the tirade was out of concern rather than any vicious intent.

Antal just tries to wave Audric off, I thought it would teleport her to us, then she'd have gotten stuck in the muck. Hey, how did you guys get down here anyway?

"The slimy hole? Turns out it wasn't full of slime after all. Someone really didn't want to be found." he sighs "What happened to you? Were you brought down here? And who is Kerj?"

The gnome from earlier comes out of the darkness at the edge of the cavern and shakes his head. "World is up there, paladin," he says dryly, pointing upwards. "What is this, a reunion-wait, why is there a kid here?"
"I am aware. But it seems the people I'm looking for are under here" he answers just as dryly. "Kerj, I suppose? Wait, what do you mean, a kid?" he turns towards Yilminri, shocked "Him? You mean he is a child?"

"Yeah, I'm Kerj. As for the kid? Him, her, I can't tell. They all basically look and sound the same until they're nearly adult. But yeah, it's a child. Probably the equivalent of a ten year old human or so, they do a lot of growing in puberty."
"He said he is an Helegas, I assume he is speaking his own language. Even if I have no idea of what it is." He sighs, then recaps for Kerj and Antal "We found him under here, very badly wounded. That was Iil'ssaran's doing, by the way. Her magic aura was all over him. I... someone needs to take him home, if he is a child. It's far too dangerous for him to stay here. Can he tell us where the sorceress went?"

Llaars lifts himself from his prone position and walks toward the group as he looks over his new surroundings. "Don't mind me... just peelin' my scalp off the ground..." He starts a bit when Kerj walks from the shadows, not wanting to be the victim of another untimely ambush. "So what's the deal here? You collectin' sewer dwellers now Antal?" His smirk returned to his muck covered face as he addressed the halfling but quickly fades. "Not that there's anythin' wrong with that."
The paladin doesn't seem amused "Do not even joke about it. You were lonely because you didn't think before acting. As usual. " he sighs again. He really doesn't know how to get to the halfling. "You scared us, you nitwit, do you understand that? We thought Iil'ssaran had captured you too. Where in Aldaran's name did you end up, anyway?"

Audric pales considerably, but he manages to whisper "You were lucky. The teleportation spell probably covered your own magical aura, otherwise, you would have been killed.". He wants to know the same thing Rana asked, however: at the very least, he would expect Antal to have been detained for questioning.
"Kerj helped you? What do you mean? Was there a fight?" He looks worried. There is no way a group of paladins would let an obviously magic gnome go. "Have there been casualities?"

"You do. You are a spellcaster, aren't you? Even if a strange one. All spellcasters have a magical aura that we paladins are trained to pick up. Weren't you aware?" The thought of the potential disasters the halfling has avoided just out of sheer luck make him shake his head "Hers is stronger than yours,and it's obviously druidic magic." he adds, pointing to Rana "Yours is more faint, and more odd, but it's there. Now, would you mind to tell me just how did you manage to weasel your way out a confrontation with a bunch of paladins?"

Only sort of, Antal interjects, I was nonspecific, and I obviously didn't mention he is a sorcerer, but I said my friend was kidnapped by a sorceress. They let me go in a hurry, though one of them insisted on following me. I couldn't lose him, so I had to tell him that I didn't want his help. He was reluctant, but let me go.

"Life used to be simple, you know? Everything was nice and routine. Sit down here, keep our eyes and ears out, run a little raid once every month and a half or something to keep people on edge, nothing serious. I'm not even going to go into the crap that's been going on the last week, but it makes hiding down here seem peachy in comparison." Kerj groans. "I signed up for a lot of things when I joined the whatever-it-is going on down here. This? Not one of them."
Yilminri glances to your expressions, then tugs on Antal's sleeve. "What happen?" He/she seems to remember the presence of others who probably can't speak Gnomic, then tries...something else. "Wass ron?"
