ZakoAfter working at the limbs for a bit, Edwin severs the corpse's hands and head and retrieves his chain, leaving it to helplessly thrash where it had fallen.
scapheapYou have the others tear various strips of cloth from their clothes and collect them. In no time you've managed to repair the cuirass, and you hand it to the grateful Tali who slips it over her torso. Its not the best fix, but it will do for now. If you could somehow get your hands on some better implements you could likely improve it. The Cuirass loses its old qualities and acquires a new one:
Flimsy.
DwarminYou look at the corpses as they wander about the room blindly, then shake your head and go back into the hall. You don't think it would be a good idea to try and take one of their thigh bones. It would take a while to cut it off and clean it, and even then it'd probably be too weak to be of any use in the first place.
Ross VernalWhile the others finish grabbing whatever kit they can get their hands on, you move further into the room, past the living corpses. The room ends in a wall with an ordinary wooden door set into it thats unlatched, and hangs slightly open. The others, having finished gearing up, gathers behind you. No one says a word as you ease the door open..
PartyBeyond the anteroom lies a large hall, very wide and very long. Massive pillars nearly eight men around stretch up at even intervals within the hall, their broken tips stretching towards the crumbling ceiling. The group passes through the wooden door, gazing upon the chamber before them with awe. As soon as the last prisoner passes through the portal an unnatural gust kicks up and slams it shut behind them. Edwin shouts in alarm and spins to try and catch the handle, but as soon as the door latch falls into place the portal vanishes, leaving a blank wall where it once stood. You turn back to face the hall as a distant roar echoes towards you, and those with weapons tighten their grips in fear and nervous anticipation.
