You can still yell out "No, pick me," or something. Whatever happened to chivalry?

Right now, Owain is assuming that Mowyer knows what she's doing.

 Good! Hopefully all your priests are that gullible! |

Aram continues to bide his time for now, listening to Igasso divulge his intentions and waiting to see what Mowyer has planned. No, go back to the wizard! thinks Aram, as if he could impose his will on the mad priest. The converse would be far more likely, judging by the way he commands his mindless guards.

"Igasso!! You leave him! You leave all of us and let us go or you will die where you stand!"
Gregor reaches out with his left-arm as far as he can and mumbles under his breath. A blue glow starts to appear at the end of his finger, but the spell does not release. Gregor repeats his demand.
"Let us out. Now!!"

"Sylvaria?" Igasso's eyes go wide. "Ah, yes! Her daughter! I'd quite forgotten she had one. So, she's involved you in her little power grab, then? Strange, I thought she favored Jason. At least, that's what I assumed when he came here bearing her summons earlier. So what do you want? I've already sent her the creature."
Before he can say more, Gregor lets loose with his tirade. Igasso turns to him and on seeing him summoning his magical powers moves forward excitedly.
"Magic!" he cries. "True magic! I would never have dreamed it would fall into my hands! I should've started with you!"
Igasso's sudden motion doesn't serve him well, however. Jumpy as he is, Gregor lets loose with his lightning bolt, which slams into Igasso with a burst of light and a smell of burning flesh. With a cry, the man is thrown backwards across several tables, coming to rest in a crumpled heap on top of one of them, his body still arcing with electricity.

Gregor stands with his arm still pointing at the now quivering body of Igasso. The mage is panting heavily, the adrenaline pumping through his veins.
"I told him to let us go....."
Gregor spoke to no-one in particular, but there was a hint of regret as withdraw his arm and took a deep breath to steady himself. Despite his actions he was still locked in the cage, as where the others. He looked around suddenly and spoke to the room.
"So..... how are you guys doing?"

"I've been better," says Owain, rattling his chains by way of emphasis. "Now you've turned our jailer into a charred pile of flesh, have you any spells to get us free?"
Owain regards the mindless servants of Igasso. They seemed to respond to voice commands. Using his linguistics skills, Owain mimics the lunatic's voice as best he can. "Come here," he says to the nearest one.

Gregor smiled at the priest.
"Yes, possibly it was a little over-the-top, but he was going to kill us all, Im sure. Im glad to see you are both still alive, although I dont see Aram anywhere..... what happened to him?"

Mowyer settled back, remaining grimly silent.

"I am here," says Aram as he climbs awkwardly through the opening into the room. His right hand appears to be encased in a block of stone, and he wears Gertwiller's tight-fitting clothes and weapons belt. He frowns at Gregor. "Gertwiller went berserk and rushed me as I was going through the portal, causing untold grief. You would not have known that, since you departed so...prematurely." He smiles at Owain and Mowyer. "It is good to see you both again. I'll have those cages open soon enough." He examines Igasso, careful not to touch him until the electricity has dissipated completely, checking to see if he is indeed dead and what he might have on him. "He must have keys to these cages. I could simply smash them open, but I doubt it will be necessary."

Mowyer blinks seeing Aram, and almost smiles. Instead she nods in his direction when their eyes meet, and breathes a sign of relief. Then she lowers her head.

Owain smiles slightly as Aram appears, but does not yet abandon his experimental attempt to command the slave by speaking in its master's voice.

You all notice that Aram, aside from his stone hand and change of clothes, seems to look much the worse for wear. He's gaunter and much thinner than he appeared when you lost saw him and his hair has darkened considerably and even looks longer than before. Most surprisingly, he has a tattoo of the mark of Citadel on his cheek.
Owain's attempts, meanwhile, to command the guards has little effect... though he notices them looking at him curiously when he gives commands. They begin to move when he speaks, but then, after a look at his neck, stop.
Aram, I haven't forgotten about your action, just waiting for a little bit to go into that, see if anyone has any other actions to take right now.
