Ravenna’s dilemma… WIP

The smaller Vydaelian uttered a few phrases and touched the bewildered troglodyte with the small wand. The bipedal reptilian creature whimpered. The Protection from Magick Spell prickled his skin and briefly shocked him. Ravenna noted the simplicity of the spell. The Magick would have not protected the trog from most warding glyphs but apparently was enough to help him through the barrier.
Orylan pushed the Troglodyte through the opening. The beast flew through the aperture, howled, lay on the floor, and whimpered. Ravenna gazed into the Troglodyte’s snakelike eyes.
The simple mind of the troglodyte made an easy target for the red-haired sorceress’s intrinsic Charm Spell. Ravenna obediently placed her hands behind her back and allowed the beast to place the rope it carried around her wrists.
Phynne waved the wand in his right hand and threw some red dust into the doorway. Initially the dust sparkled in the frame of the opening to the cell, but soon the particles fell onto Ravenna’s side of the portal. The larger character pulled a well-made short sword from a sheath in his side and stepped gingerly into the room. The second kept his wand pointed toward Ravenna and walked behind his comrade.
“I’ll skewer you if you don’t cooperate. I know you are a witch! We learned of your skills when you attacked us. Tell me how it is that you don’t show the wear of the seasons that you have been here. Tell me how you do Magick without a wand. Tell me…” Orylan said impatiently.
“Slow down! I’ve just awakened! You must have poisoned me. I’m helpless. What do you persecute me? The smell of the troglodyte is punishment enough!” Ravenna protested.
