[Q1] The Chains that Bind Us

As Cade’s hands wrapped around the lock and he started to pull at the lock he felt electricity surge through him. No stranger to pain he continued to pull and pull. Each pull caused the electricity to course through him even more as he continued to use his strength to attempt to pull the lock apart. He continued until the pain got unmanageable causing him to crumple and drop his hands, his body tingling and aching and accompanied by a light smell of burned flesh and hair. He said a few choice curse words in Rivani as he lay there rubbing his palms, trying to catch his breath again. All the chatter around him was grating on his nerves already. Cade was a man of action and sitting around conversing about who had taken them and why seemed a bit on the pointless side to him.

He pushed to stand, groaning a little at the stiffness of his body from the electric shock, gently denying any help that might be offered him. His hand slipped into his pocket where he found the handkerchief Eriar had given him before he’d left, he pulled it out of for a moment and inhaled her cent before retuning it to the pocket of his trousers. They didn’t strip him of everything, just his shirt and Merilin’s collar. The thought of someone touching it that wasn’t his lover had a flash of anger surge through him. To his surprise, and probably the surprise of the others in the cage lightening flashed and hit the ground nearby the cage. He frowned and looked towards the sky for a moment.

I think we need to get moving, he said and went to follow Faelyn to the open cage door, swinging himselff down onto the ground and holding a hand up to help others, What’s the likelihood these have a tracking magic to it? I’d like to get it off and if possible find my belongings.
