"Rats," exclaims Ash when can't seem to find any kind of stick to put her head on. She looks over at it sitting so nice and pretty against the wall and thinks "I just gotta find something to stick you on."
She plops down on the floor, crosses her legs and props her elbows on her knees. Laying her chin in her hands, she stares at her head as she wrinkles her nose and thinks. "There has just gotta be something around this place somewhere. I just gotta find it. And she starts thinking about all the rooms she has been in and wonders if she missed anything. head mage room....head....she giggles....wierd head mage, would have thought he'd have some kind of stick, but nooooooooo that big old mirror.....mosaic story room.....no stick there either, wierd story though need to look at it more....... funny symbol room......hmmm, don't think there was a stick in there. have to check that one.......strange window room........no stick there even though it looked like something moving in the window.....man, these people must not know what fun sticks can be. nobody has one. Wrinkling up her entire face, she tries to remember if she has seen anything, anywere she might be able to use. guess i just will have to go check the rooms again to see if i missed anything.
Suddenly Ash remembers Homm being in the room with her and she looks around at him. She sees the funny look on his face. He is slightly green and looks like he might get sick. She jumps up and rushes over to him. "Homm, you alright. You look like you're gonna get sick. You don't have to worry so much, not so much that it makes you sick. We'll find you a head. One that you like too even if we have to chop it off. I promise."
She looks down at the head she had asked him about earlier, picks it up by the hair, sticks it right up in his face and asks "Are you sure you don't want this one? It doesn't have a cool scar like mine but it is still a good head. And look it even has the same color eyes as you."
You know we really should get Mr. Knight one too. I bet he would love a head. He's a knight and I bet he'd like one to help him remember this place. Not sure his girl Callie would like it, but he could always hide it under the bed or in the wardrobe or maybe in a suit of armor. That way she wouldn't see it.
Here, you go sit this one up over next to mine," she says holding out the head for Homm to take. "I'm going to go start looking for one for Mr. Knight. And when you are finished you can help me find one more. Hopefully if we search real hard we can find 2 more good ones."
*elliot - can ash find 2 more heads in addition to the 2 she has already *

{just for clarity - 'limited' means when used up, it's a piece of wood, good enough as toothpick unless re-loaded by an enchanter? Or will it reload over time? And you didn't address whether they can be used by anyone, or only by magically adepts!?}
Cedric nods upon Zumir's response. "Were you free... - well, I'll come back to you on that, once you are."

Jack sets the boots down and shrugs, "Okay-dokay. Ah'll a-wait." She tries not to look disappointed. She knows she's new to the group, and that she didn't help find any of this. But she was very curious as to what the boots did and how they felt when worn. She vaguely remembered having a very nice pair of boots back home. That they didn't make much sounds when she walked. Made it much easier for her to move around silently.
To resist temptation, she walks away from the pile and hunkers down on the floor and leans against the wall. She softly whistles while she watches everyone.

Stelrein watches Cedric interact with JJ and the items, and sees that they don't have much luck identifying the items.
Then he turns to Melissa, "M'Lady, I would not normally ask you this, but since we seem to be part of Project Awakening, would you mind helping us identify the items? So that when we meet Gryphon's army, we may use the items against their forces. This way, your allies will be avenged in some way."
He looks to Mao and Rasidar in turn, "Presuming that Lord Gryphon is the one we are calling enemy?"

Mao has the reflex to reach her pouches to have a blanket strip at hand for Melissa but stops at half-course, remembering that she doesn't have any left. She puts her hand on the woman's shoulder and nods at her in compassion, sorry to make her pass by this, but thinking that it would maybe be useful for them if they all knew as much as possible.
She looks around, annoyed that the majority of the group decided to go around doing whatever things by themselves. When her eyes stop on Stelrein she represses a sigh and decides to continue to talk about the battle; maybe is it better for Melissa if it's said as things are now, after all.
"It seems that the attackers broke in very fast," Mao begins softly. "The lab defences would have been destroyed when the guards were driven back in the battle room; the invaders would have defeated the "golems" as well," she says. (Elliot, what do they know about golems?)
"It seems that Veryn wasn't with them when it happened," she continues, talking softly. She pays particularily attention to Melissa's reactions. "So... the eight of them research mages would have stood in the corner, doing what they could, but had no chance..." She pauses the time of a breath. "That was two days ago; and we found Melissa apparently held alive all this time by her ankh pendant," she adds, looking at Zumir.

Stelrein
Melissa looks haunted, but she nods. "If I have to," she says, though it's pretty obvious she would rather not.
Mao
Zumir looks interested for a moment at mention of the Ankh, but covers quickly. You are pretty sure Melissa notices too, though, as she seems to shrink closer to you.
Golems - you know they are magical constructs that are reputed to be very tough in a fight, but they are incredibly rare and tend only to be created by rich and powerful mages. Beyond that you have only vague rumour.

"Homm, you alright. You look like you're gonna get sick. You don't have to worry so much, not so much that it makes you sick. We'll find you a head. One that you like too even if we have to chop it off. I promise." Ash
Homm stops his hair pulling. his wide eyes get wider.
gulp!
Ash looks down at the head she had asked him about earlier, picks it up by the hair, sticks it right up in his face and asks "Are you sure you don't want this one? It doesn't have a cool scar like mine but it is still a good head. And look it even has the same color eyes as you."
his eyes crosses with those of the head Ash is holing to his face. his jaw drops.
"Baaaaahhhh........!!!!!"
he jumps backwards from Ash & the head, summersaults backwards out of the room until he reaches the demon outside of the battle room. in his panic, he trips on the demon's foot. he falls flat-faced on the demon's torso. his head rest on the neck of the demon.
he looks up just to see the demon's face .....
aiieeee!!!!!
Homm feels like fainting.
No! No! don't you dare faint! not in front of her!
he grits his teeth. his breaths shallow & wheezing. his hands slowly beat on the demon's chest.
that's it! let that fear go! get that anger out! don't look bad now!
his hands beat harder. the beatings eventually are accompanied by grunts that replace the wheezing.
arrgh!!! that's for getting me into this mess! that's for making me almost pee myself! that's for almsot making me faint! for making me look bad in front of a girl! too bad you are dead or i .... i'll kill you!
"AARRRGGGHHH!!!!" Homm makes a battle cry at last.
his beatings persists.

When Homm jumps backwards, Ash gives him a puzzled look and asks "What's the matter? It's just a chopped off head. It's not gonna bite you." As he tumbles towards the door Ash calls "Homm, you come back here? This head is not gonna get you. Now come back here. We've still got 2 more heads to find. If you don't come back here and help me, I'm gonna give your head to Mao."
"Oooooooo, guys," fumes Ash walking over and sitting the head down next to hers. "They're never any help when you need them. Guess I'll just have to do it myself." She arranges the hair on the head and then steps back and admires her finds. "OK, you two, stay put. Don't move. I gotta find 2 more of you guys, so you be good and I'll be right back."
Ash has just finished placing the last head with the others when she hears Homm yell. "Homm," she calls as she take off for the door. "Homm, what's the matter? What happened? Did that demon try to get you? Did he move? Are you alright? Do you want me to go get Mao?" she asks rushing up to him.
**************************
Realizing that Homm is OK and that he was just taking his anger out on the Demon, Ash wonders what had made him so mad that he wanted to fight a dead Demon. "Oh, Well, that's just Homm," she thinks. "More important things to do than to worry about him figting dead things." Grabbing his hand, she looks at him and says "You're coming with me, so come on. I need to get some stuff and I don't trust you to keep yourself out of trouble.
Ash drags Homm out of the demon room and into the bedroom area. She then pushes him in the first door on the left and says "You find yourself some clothes to put on and get dressed. I've got to get some stuff and she takes off. She goes to the mural room grabs the sheets and blanket from the bed. I can use these to make Mao some more bandages and another pouch to put them in," she thinks. She then opens the chest to make sure nothing was left and then rumages through the desk looking for some paint and some brushes.
*elliot - can ash take the sheets and blankets from the bed to make bandages for mao? (how many are there?) if i remember correctly she should find a pouch of coins left in the chest and some pots of paint and brushes in the desk. if these things are there can she take the pouch of coins and 3 paint brushes and three pots of paint?*

Silence falls on the group around Zumir.
Everyone seems to ponder about the last fateful battle for a moment.
"Well," Cedric finally resumes, "let's get back to what is holding Zumir here. If he were free, our possibilities would greatly expand. So it seems to me a worthy effort to try and find it. What exactly are we looking for?"

AshYou can get all those things. As far as bandages go, I think it's best to leave it at 'plentiful supply' currently, given the amount of bed linen you lot currently have access to

GlanceSorry - the lack of an 'Elliot' in there made me think you were talking to the last person, not to me A magical wand can usually be used by anyone who has the command word - though there are a few exceptions that can only be used by someone with certain skills or who meet other conditions.
