Reprise! Act 1!

[Ginnezumusha]

Ginn catches the amulet.

Ginn stares at the witch(Relm), and then at Relm(witch).  You can here the gears crank in his head.

"Uhhh..."

[Rezantis]

"Stop that, unless you've got a truth spell you aren't figuring out who's who.  Can you get her out of there?"

[Carthrat]

"Of course he can't. Kindly shut up and start making sense," says Relm, pressing the knife into Relm's throat.

[Ginnezumusha]

Ginn chants lightly, invoking a somewhat simple (but really freaking useful) lore spell to obtain information about the amulet in question.

[Carthrat]

The Amulet is a Holding Amulet, which is capable of holding up to 200 kilograms of, well, anything, really. Certain amulets (like this one) are tuned to be able to suck in an unwilling victim, where they are held in a gravityless, walled environment. Releasing them is really a matter of being able to do something about the planar distortion.

Ginn figures that he needs to be able to cast some kind of short-range teleportation spell, or a *powerful* dispelling spell to be able to do something about it.

An amusing facet is if the amulet is enlarged or shrunk, the being (and equipment) inside is also enlarged or shrunk, but if he/she escapes from the Amulet, they stay that way instead of reverting to normal after the spells duration.

Typically, such amulets have command words to activate them. Ginn doesn't get to know what they are.

[Rezantis]

"Why?  You seemed to know precisely what I was talking about a minute ago."

[Carthrat]

"Though I'm not sure *precicely* why you're asking it," retorts Relm.

[Ginnezumusha]

Ginn looks at the couple.

"Looks like I'll need a command work.  I could work around it, but I'd rather have the command word."

[Carthrat]

Relm prods the knife into the witches throat. "Ask *her*."

[Ginnezumusha]

Ginn sighs.

Ginn casts Detect Evil.

[Rezantis]

"Well, since I don't actually have it to hand over, looks like you're stuck working around.  Got any divination spells that work on -people-?"

Relm rolled her eyes, "And bloody well stop that.  You aren't going to cut my throat, and we both know it."

[Carthrat]

Not much happens.

[Rezantis]

"She's not evil, she's just a mercenary bitch."

[Ginnezumusha]

Ginn grunts, then selects a different spell.

Ginn casts Know Alignment.

[Carthrat]

Relm growls. "The only reason I'm not killing you," she says, "Is because you know the command word for the amulet.

You'll bloody well tell it to us, or I *will* kill you. If he can work around it anyway, it's not worth keeping you alive beyond our conveniance."
