Slammed into the wall with B as Keldran had made some sort of a deal with the dragon and sent some explosives their way, Ari covered B's ears to keep the concussive force from damaging his ear drums. He got a ringing in his own ears as a result but it was a temporary thing that he could easily overcome.

When the smoke finally cleared and the old man was nowhere to be found, Ari sighed and helped to set B down before he would walk into the dilapidated room to investigate if there was anything of use in here or some mechanism to help them further their path through the place. Fortunately there was no need for that as a massive spiral staircase erected itself up out of the purple lake.

"Keldran, a little more fore warning next time. I mean it's not like he could have avoided your attack being in a wheelchair and all," Ari gave a light hearted scolding to Keldran while placing the palm of his right hand to his ear and did a plunger action to try and stop the ringing.

He came across the vial and looked at it, deciding to stow it away into one of the leather cases for his batons, now holding the Blue Seiryu baton in his hand with the vial stored safely in a soft leather satchel.

"Okay, I will say this before we move on: take five minutes or ten to rest up and check for any injuries, if there is anything serious then speak up now and we will do some field mending.  There wasn't much that could be salvaged from the cross contamination of the liquids."

Ari turned around and looked at the old man on the ground skewered in several places as he sighed, speaking to the man's spirit, "No hard feelings, but you were just all kinds of evil cliches."

The jounin then turned and made his way back out toward the purple lake area and away from the stench of rot and decay, with B backon his shoulder, "I know we need to get you some help."
