The woman does not look away from her hands and whatever thing she holds in them, made of dull black metal. "I am." She says, gently, with a hint of pain. "Have you come to take me, in turn? If you tell me to, I will go willingly. I will happily betray my master in whatever way you want me to. I have no care for him in particular." Her tone is strange, at once resigned and eager, as if lost and content with hopelessness. She does not look away from the thing in her hands.

"Neither do I." Gordak says in response to Tarinn's words. "But for now, I merely intend to free you from this place. The blisters on your feet, will they make it difficult for you to walk?"

The woman smiles to herself, but not to Gordak, as if at some joke only she can understand. "No. Do you want me to walk? I can do that. If you let me drop this, I can help you get out of here richer than you came." She looks up for the first time since Gordak entered - possibly for the first time in weeks, seeming to put together the situation. "There are no traps in the house. He uses me to open the door and trusts the resin to deter idle thieves."

"It is unfortunate for him then that I am no idle thief." Gordak says. "What is it that you are holding?"

Tarinn pauses for a moment. "It is a device to cause pain to the person holding it. He says it occupies me to hold it when he has no other use for me. And it does. I think it amuses him, and no doubt his lord the Black Pillar"

"Both of them will have to find their amusement elsewhere then. And your former master will need to do so cheaply." Gordak declares. "You may drop what you are holding. How might we leave this place richer than we arrived?"

The object, a dull silverish cylinder that might be of metal, or of some stranger material, falls to the ground, and Tarinn lets out a little sigh. She stands. "He has a lockbox in the chamber, behind a tapestry. There might be something valuable to the right buyer in among his papers, but I can't say for certain. I can't say for certain if the shrine or lockbox is trapped, but the room isn't."

Gordak watches as Tarinn drops the painful cylinder and listens as she explains that there are papers in a lockbox that might be of value to the right buyer and that she isn't sure if there are traps. "If there are, they will not stop me." Gordak stats. "Show me this tapestry." Should Tarinn bring him to the tapestry, Gordak moves with more care than he did at the door. He slowly moves the tapestry aside with his short sword and takes is time in searching around the shrine and lockbox for any sign of danger.
