Raziel lounged, watched, and listened, as was his job. No need for him to speak up here.
She shrugged a shoulder. "The underground is rather famous for having landmarks that all look the same. Things that hang down from the cailing and things that poke up from the floor, that's about as much as we are going to get. Maybe if we can figure out what some of the cities used to be named, then we'll be okay." She grabbed the book and flipped through the index. "Maybe we'll start with somewhere that looks like it might be where ton and Eca are burried."

Cormyr sat silently and just watched the two imps talk amonst themselves. Part of him thought that he should destroy the two imps now, knowing from past experiences with creatures such as these that they were hardly trustworthy, but he decided that there continued existences would do more good then harm at the moment, and he came to the reluctant discussion that he did, need there help right now.
A look that showed how hopelessly perplexed he was crossed over his face, but was quickly wiped away with a wide smile. If what these imps said was true, then the thing he had been searching for his whole life, a way out of hell, had showed up in what he thought was probably the most ironic of froms, a balor demon.
"labyrinth..." he repeated, more to himself then the two imps. He hadn't encountered many humans in his life, but from what he had heard, they were weak and easily manipulated. He let a small laugh escape his lips before rising to stand on rubbery knees. Yes, it made since. This place did not hold the overwhelming arua of dispare or the everpersistant screams of agony that the hells did.
The tiefling took a long pause, his red orbs wondering about the plane before him, so he was underground was he?, it didn't really matter he decided. He had never before seen the sky and decided that he really felt no need to. His attention focused back in on the imps when it hit him that they were still speaking.
His eyes narrowed at the mention of shoes, crimson orbs slowly running down his legs to inspect his own. Sure enough half of one of his boots had been eaten. Once again the thought of killing the two entertained in his mind, but, since it was such a good day, he decided that he would not send either back to the hells unless they forced him to. "Just make sure it dose not happen again" He told in a moderately threatening tone, his attention once again falling on the deminuitive devils.
"hell!" he chuckled, his laughter ending with a small spree of violent coughing, one of the tieflings arms coming out to brace himself against a large rock. " oh, im shaking"
"tell me, Jaun and Jell" He still did not trust these imps as far as he could throw them, and even if he managed to throw them pretty far, trust them he did not. " Do you know of a place I could find rest or healing, it seems after my tussle with that Balor, im a bit under the weather"

The two smiled, "Hell, not hell, it doesn't really matter. I think we've been there eithe way." Jell nodded. And on the mention of shacking, he jumped up on their new freind's shoulder. "Are you really? Is it fun?"
Jaun furrowed his brow. "We've been to a lot of places, but due to some esxesive blows to the head, we can't awlays remeber." He smiled. "What were we talking about?"
The two watched the Teifling curiously, Jell looked at the guys boots. "I can't make any promisis."
"The last guy who asked him not to eat his boots found his best pair missing a month later. Man, it was funny to see that man yell." the two giggled.
"And yeah, there's this place not to far from here you can go. One of outr freinds just oepned a medical clinic, he helps people for free. He's that way." they pointed in different directions.

The tiefling winced as the imp landed on his injured shoulder, shooting Jell a threatening glare. His focus drifted lazily to Juan, The tiefling just shook his head at the little imps statement "Why dosen't that suprise me?"
His attention turned quickly back to Jell at the mention of his boots " and neither can I" he told the imp. He felt like he was taking care of children, troublesome children who handnt been reprimanded by there parents nearly enough.
"Good, show me the way" He commanded the two imps, perturbed but not at all suprised when they each pointed in different directions. He brought one hand up to his face, whipeing a few loose crimson strands out of his eyes and behind his head " This is gona be a long day" He lamented
Cormyr reached up to his shoulder, grabbing Jell firmly by the tail and lifting him from his roost before placing him on the ground at his feet."Im the one whoes injured here, your not getting a ride"

This teifling seemed to be catching on pretty quick on the way these imps worked. Course it wasn't hard...they were just children who couldn't feel pain after all.
"Righto then, Mister, this way!" and the two of them struck out in a compltely different direction. "Say Mister, what's your name anyway? calling you mister is fun, but there are a lot of misters around, if you get what I mean."
"Like that mister who didn't like us drink his ale."
"Yeah yeah, that's it."
Jell though looked back with a bit of a dwon trodden face. "Couldn't you have swung me around a little? make it interesting?" He held his tail aloft as if in invitation to try again.
Jaun leaned over and whispered in Jell's ear. "I wonder if we're gonna have to teach him to have fun, like whe did with Star Flower."

The Tiefling watched the two start out in completely different directions, he couldnt help but wonder if they really were this stupid or they thought he was... He rolled his eyes, his long pointed tail waiving about behind him. He quickly decided to follow Juan, the self proclaimed smarter of the pair.
" Cormyr" He told the imps, not really caring weather or not they knew his name. These two sure did like to talk alot about nothing, he thought, but the Tiefling did well to keep his mouth shut this time, figuring it better not to agerivate or simply distract the two imps that were suppost to be leading him to healing.
He quirked a brow at the brown haired imp, not many times had he been asked by someone to hurt them. It was a bit overbalancing. He simply shook his head, choking it up to stupidity. He was about to tell the imp off when an idea popped in his head " I would love to, but..." He trailed off " You see, i am very injured right now, and i don't think i have the strength" He stopped his pace and knelt down so that he could be closer to the imp he was speaking to " But..." he said hopefully " If you two get me healing, i promise the moment i am patched up, Not only will i make it the most 'interesting' day of your life, but i will find you lots of shoes to eat"
This was not his first time dealing with idiots, he though. and he thought he knew just how to get threw to a pair of.... unique characters like these two

"Well hot damn, why didn't you say so?" The two imps turned around and started walking in the right direction. "We were just gonna lead you around for a few hours, get lost, then steal your shoes." He skipped.
Jaun marched, a happy smile on his face. "Nothing beats getting spun around by your tail, I tell you what." I stopped tohugh, and looked back at Cormyr. He waggled a finger up and down. "You do know that poeple don't dress like that here?"
"Yeah, and we get looks for our tails."
"The place we're going to...we'll their friendly folk, but they ain't never seen something the likes of you 'afore."
Jell giggled. "You sound like a bumpkin, Jaun."
"I've been workin' on my accent." He smiled. "You might want to wear a cloack, or at elast don't cause trouble for yourself. Unless...you're like us and want the trouble."
"Gee, Jaun. Do you remeber where to go?"
"Not really, I've never walked there before. Let's just phaze out." So, with not another word, the two imps jumped on Cormyr's shoulders, regardless of his injures, because hey, they needed to be touching him to transport him, and vanished in a puff of smock. When next they could see, they stoo outside a small two story buidling with a fresh new sign on the door that said 'medical center.'

The Tiefling did not seem at all suprised by there plans, infact, he would have been put off if the imps had taken him straight to the medical center when he asked. Where he was from one did not simply get what they wanted by asking.
Cormyr once again eyed the little imps curiously, He had met alot of strange beings in his life, and without a doubt, these two imps were near the top of that list. Infact the only person he could think of that was stranger then these two imps was a Marilith he had met who had a particular taste for washing othes with acid or burning oil so that she could collect the puss that could be found under the bubbling soars that appeared on her victims flesh.
He turned back over his shoulder, eyeing his tail... Never before had he needed to worry about such an appendage being construed as strange, but then again, what was considered strange in the nine hells...
The tiefling was used to insults being shot his way for his heritage. In the eyes of full fledged demons and devils, mutts like he were allayse a subject of mockery, but he figured a cloak, if he could find one, couldn't hurt.
Before he could even finish his thought the two imps plopped down on his shoulders again, sending waves of agony down his injured arm. Before the tiefling even rejustered what had transpired his clawed gauntlets went up, his talons closeing around the two imps heads. He brought them down hard, tossing them away from him like rag dolls.
He blinked a few times when he realized that they had teleported, and had half a mind to apologize to the troublesome duo, but figured, given there attitudes that they hadn't been hurt. The heavily armored humanoid just shrugged, and started toward the entrance, hoping that the two had been telling the truth and he wouldn't find some crazed doctor inside that wanted to harvest his organs for his experiments.... that, he hoped, would be a once in a life time experience.

If Zahara had been in her normal frame of mind and not overcome by the erotic experience she'd been treated to earlier that morning, she probably would have looked at Malik funny and wondered why he was asking. As it was, she did have that morning of lust and desire and appeasement so she simply shrugged, "Fine." Her heartbeat quickened at the obvious camaraderie between the three of them, yes even Kieran and Malik. Her eyes wandered until they locked on Piper's hand on Malik's chest and she shook her head, "Greetings Kieran, I'm shocked we didn't scare you out of the fair Underdark for good." A quick hand ran through her hair while she remained leaning in the doorway. "Having a bit of a get together and didn't invite the Drow hmm? That puts me in the position of being the one to crash the party..." A mischievous little smile, which was yet another abnormality for her but who was keeping track?

To be honest, the imps had a ball. They had been thrown, and on top of that they ere bleeding from the clawed gauntles. This was great! Now they could get bandaged up by the doctor and walk around like triplets!
They hoped on isnide after Cormyr laughing and giggling. Inside the medical clinic had become more clean since last anybody saw, if that was possible. And look, now there was a waiting area too! It looked like they were building in different walls so that those in the waiting area wouldn't have to see what was being done to those no longer waiting.
"Moonstone, Moonstone!" They yelled in unison. "We need bandages!" They broke out in terrible moans of 'dear god it hurst!' and 'the blood! I'm losing all my blood!'
Moonstone stepped out from a tiny space he and Kat were using as an office. They had started recording each case, so that they could use them as reference later on. They were both still gathering information on this healing without magic deal.
"I've told you two before to be quite. You'kll upset my patients." The tall anthropomorphic cat fixed the glasses that held no lenses on his nose, the white coat looking bulky over his back because it covered his wings. Lucky for him, there was no one in the waiting room, because he was sure if his appearance didn't freak them out first, this guy would have.
"Well good day, sir." A quick look up and down, noting the warrior stance, the armor...and the obvious signs of injury. "Why don't you come on in the back and I'll take a look at ya?"

Malik only shook his head lightly at her.
"It's rude to demand that your parents travel here everytime they wish to see you. So a trip to Andal is not so far fetched, Chev'. it's worth the trip and potential dangers I think."
though a nod at Kieran.
"I see. then that is quite acceptable for a foundation of trust, isn't it. after all, you entrust your kingdom to her father."

Kieran gave her a smile, nodding his head lightly, concious and carful of Raziel on his head making headwings for him. "And to you as well, Zahara. Ever pleasant to see a drow who doesn't go straight for the throat." Now, only Kieran could make that semi joke and get away with it, couldn't he? But a chuckle from him. "This place is far from being too Under and too dark for fear to catch me in it's grasp, I assure you." No he was having a blast as usual. "And crashing parties is what young elves do, no harm in you joining us now is there?"
Though his attention diverted back to Malik for a time, an eyebrow arching at Malik's statement. Well that was a little surprising one...Malik was willing where Piper seemed reluctant. "Indeed, and nothing has yet to go wrong in the three hundred or so years I've had it."
Piper looked a tad bit defensive a moment. "I haven't demanded nor implied that demand." Well...out loud. And a refusal to go topside in Andal probably was good enough to count as implied demand that they had to come down here. "I suppose it is..." Yeah that was as close to a yes as he was getting. First the kid having trouble issue and then trips to Andal. One thing at a time not two. But a look over to Zahara. Yes she did seem to have the disposition that Piper often found herself in. It was a good feeling. "Yes you can crash for me, I'm not allowed to be bad when I'm being all pretty and fancy."

Cormyr cast a quick glare at the other two devils in the room, shaking his head. He would have to show them what looseing blood was all about later. That thought brought a smile to the annoyed tieflings bruised face.
He turned slowly to regard the doctor, he found the man a bit strange and at first glance he almost wanted to chuckle. He had never before seen someone wearing glasses just to make themselves look smarter. He was glad that he was received with little insadent. He was expecting some sort of shriek or pick forks and torches with the way the imps said his visage would be received.
He bit back another laugh and a snide remark 'good' day? he repeated to himself, the only thing good about it so far was that he was alive in some other plane then one of the hells. He gave the doctor a small nod before turning to the imps and holding out a hand " wait here" he commanded, not doubting one bit that the extravagant duo would have followed him into the operating room and made stupid remarks the whole time he was getting fixed.
Without a another word he limped into the back behind the doctor, doing his best to hide the pain he was feeling with every step. His gaurd was up the whole time, allayse keeping a weary eye on the 'doctor' just because the man came off as nice did not mean one thing to the horned man

She chuckled, "You haven't upset me yet Kieran," she said simply before coming more fully into the room and settling on one of the arms of the chairs across from Piper and Malik, which happened to be Kieran's as it was. But she did shake her head, "How sad, my partner in crime has dropped me for fancy dresses and dancing. Whatever shall I do without her help in our schemes?" Being overly dramatic? Maybe, but Zahara was feeling fantastically good and she just didn't want anything to ruin it right now. "so what's with the family gathering? Just an impromptu thing?" Even had the hand motions this time, damn she was actually being social and half likable. Appeased instincts did wonders for the attitude.

Moonstone took off the glasses and tucked them in a pocket on his chest. He wasn't a normal doctor, so to speka, so he used such devices to calm his patients. "We mostly get humans in here," he said rather conversationally. "I'm usually as...different...as the folks here tend to see." He took off his cumbersome jacket and hung it on a peg, stretching his wings a bit.
"We don't ask questions here. We're a free service. But I do ask to keep records, and am obliged to inform you how new this practice is. I won't beat around the bush, I have about a month's worth of experiacne under my belt." Which, besides his pants and boots, was all he was now wearing.
"So, unless you are really that concerned with my lack of practical experaince, let's get started. You're a warrior I'll take it so this will be easy. Tell me what's broken so I can set it." Oh yeah, NOT the cat he was a month a go, was he? Thirty days ago, he would have been flipping to see a guy with horns, tail, gray skin, red hair and matchings eyes.
"Jell...did he just tell us to wait here?"
"I think he did, dear brother."
"I was planning on ditching him and finding soemtihng to eat."
"Yeah, me too." Blood dripped down their foreheads and into their eyes, making everything an interesting red.
They grinned. "Well, if our good friend Corymr wants us to stay, then i guess he's stuck with us."
