Not fast enough to grasp onto Pike, the gnome slips down as Ulric reaches out to try and grab her.

With amazing speed, Ulric's hand shoots out and grabs Pike's arm. The little gnome grimaces a bit as he holds onto her tightly, before pulling her back up to his chest.

Ulric - What would you like to do?

Soleil lets out a small gasp as Pike falls into Ulric's arms. She wipes her hands off and reaches down again, pooling all of her strength as she reaches for the gnome again.

"One more time, if this doesn't work, can you make it the rest of the way?"

Soleil grabs on to Pike's arm, with Ulric continuing to hold onto her, but is unable to get a sufficient grip on Pike's arm to lift her the rest of the way.

Sir Ulric

Ulric feels Pike start to slip again in Soleil's grasp, but before he can attempt to fully hand Pike over, he holds her tight.

"I've got this, siha. Though I do appreciate the assistance, trust me. Just step aside for a moment and I can clear the entry with the both of us in tow."

With one last burst of strength, Ulric hefts Pike out of the trapdoor and sets her gently down on the floor of the library before pulling himself out as well. Not more than a few seconds afterwards, Jareth clambers out of the trapdoor and the four of you are now in the library. Dusting himself off, Ulric hefts the small gnome back up into his arms as she hangs onto him, perhaps a bit tighter than before, and you begin heading back to the keep proper.

Soleil looks at Ulric as she gets to her feet.

"Quite impressive, Ulric. I'm sorry I couldn't keep my grip. I guess I didn't realize how much agility you had. Let's get Pike to someone who can get these wounds taken care of."

Sir Ulric

Ulric looks down at Pike and then at Soleil, the roguish grin coming back.

"What can I say? Some are born into greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them, and some are born to a housewife and a tree-felling wood elf. There can be value found in this world for all."

You step out of the library and find that the guards have returned. They snap to attention as soon as they see the injured Pike.

"Gods! Quickly...This way!"

They hurriedly lead you through the keep and at one point one splits off to go inform Castellan. Within minutes, you're standing in the infirmary and Pike is being worked on by a couple of clerics that are doing their best to mend her without use of their magic.

After you watch for a few moments, you hear the familiar, brusque voice ring through.

"Pike! Where is she??"

You turn and see Castellan pushing into the infirmary, looking rather concerned.

Turning away from the medics and Pike, Soleil calls out to Castellan.

"Cas, over here!"

When he closes the distance, she lays a calm hand on his shoulder.

"We found her down in the tunnel. From what she says, they took her so Jamna could impersonate her in order to get to us. Ulric tried to heal her but these manacles are blocking any type of magic. We need to get them off of her now, Cas. I stabilized her the best I could but it's bad. Can you get them off?"
