The Seekers are being attack from all sides! First Shadows climbed up the shaft at the front, but were easily repelled. A woman claiming to be Wendy appeared at the rear, let loose a Fireball and then disappeared as fast as she appeared!
Lastly, another form of undead appears in the middle of the group!
Kit, Dani and Perrel carry the feverish Tania back to the Platform cave for safety.
Dani casts Speak with Animals and converses with Kitten.
"I don't like it here! Smells bad! We go now?"
Fiben casts Protection from Evil on himself and continues to guard.
Schar once more is fast on the draw with her Holy Symbol and succeeds in Turning the creature! However it continues to head towards the others!
Pad and Claudius step forward and both going into spell casting. Pad's vast knowledge of necromancy tells him this creature is a wraith!
"Shall I attempt to Control the wraith?", Melvin adds mentally. "You mean that you won't let me play with it? Why are you being so mean to me??"
Claudius creates a Flaming Sphere and plows into the wraith doing some damage.
Stephanie, normal sized since she moved to quickly to let Fin Enlarge her, slices into the wraith with her sword doing tremendous damage!
The wraith is hesitant and has trouble maintaining it's form.
Pad finishes spell casting and succeeds in Holding the wraith.
Mercy rushes in and whacks with his morning star causing the creature to disappear in a puff of smoke!
The threat of the wraith is over and all seems quiet. The fire in the shaft is still burning. The lower part of the web is currently engulfed.

Now what?
SUBJ: Omni FROM: Omni Tuens 02/08/92 S#: 485693
Omni is torn between pressing the attack on the necromancer's lair, and protecting his fallen or injured comrades. He hopefully gropes for a solution.
"Pad... would it be possible for you to teleport out of here those that are hurt too badly to be healed, or to continue?"
Regardless of his answer, Omni sees the need to move forward, as they're sitting ducks where they are... but knowing his friends are safe would be a big help.
SUBJ: Claudius FROM: GM Falcon 02/08/92 S#: 519422
Claudius listens to Omni speak, and slowly nods agreement. "Pad, go with them to the teleport grid, and stuff in a L2 spell to get Tania and a friend to Gateway. Then we'll be okay."
He looks at Fiben: "You couldn't have known about her lad...in fact, *I* don't know about her." He glances at Finrod questioningly, and then stops. Not the time.
"Same as before. Fiben and Kit on rear guard, Perrel you stay with them! Fighters in front! DOWN THAT HOLE!"
"Any objections?"
SUBJ: Schar FROM: Schar 02/08/92 S#: 515058
"Tougher undead, this Wraith", the healer mutters to herself.
Inspecting the wounded, I find myself torn between what to do. On the one hand, one of my goals is to stomp out all undead! On the other, the healing of others is most important!
There can be no other choice in this matter.
"I shall go with Tania, Claudius. I am sworn to the care and welfare of others, so I must do this. I shall heal the wounded as much as possible before going. That will give you all a better chance."
I offer one CLW to each of the wounded before departing.
Before leaving, I stop and hug Perrel.
"Be careful and don't do anything foolish!!" ;D ;*
SUBJ: Stephanie (R) FROM: Saphfire 02/08/92 S#:494850
"Not much of a foe, this 'wraith'."
Lightning is sheathed as I see the others tend to the wounded. Staring down the shaft, I can still see the remains of the burning web.
Seeing Claudius's confusion, I move beside him and quietly speak.
"Wendy goes back to before you joined up. She tricked us into attempt to locate her father who was lost in the area around Whispering Hollow. Our guess was that she only needed us to protect her until we arrived there. It turns out her father created this monstrosity called the 'Mountain Monster'. I believe that it was called a monsterous golem. (A Flesh Golem made out of Monster parts! ICKY!) We found the evil mages's lair and defeated his foul creation. Wendy then attacked us! She claimed that we had destroyed her fathers life work! She slew several Seekers with her foul magic! We thought Validar had perished in the battle, but we were mistaken."
"Wendy was captured and Finrod decided to return her to Gateway for trial. Validar returned and demanded that we immediately kill Wendy. He and Finrod exchanged heated words. Weapons were drawn! The two fought and struggled. As fate would have it, they stumbled and their blades impaled Wendy. She died and we buried her."
When Claudius orders the fighters down the shaft, I'm the first to go.
"Lightning will protect me from what fire does remain."
I then start to slide down the rope deeper into the shaft.
SUBJ: Tania FROM: Enchantres 02/08/92 S#:499699
Lil' Tania lies there muttering through her fever. She is unaware that most of her clothing is gone and that she is like badly burned! She only mutters something about 'peaches...' ;D
SUBJ: Cupid. errrr, Fiben. FROM: FatalCharm 02/10/92 S#: 503161
Um, Mad, I hate to bring this up, but I just finally realized something. You said Fiben's armor was on fire. Well, I just realized, Fiben wasn't wearing armor, for obvious reasons. (Or do you allow Mages to wear armor and cast spells?) :D
The leather armor Fiben originally had when he joined the Seekers was left in the chest in his room in the mansion, along with 5 extra flasks of lamp oil, before they left Gateway to go on the free tropical vacation. :D
So I guess this means my CLOTHES were on fire, huh? Sure glad I changed into my new grubs back at the keep and packed my more stylish stuff away. Must have been a premonition. Is my Cloak +2 still providing its magical protection
"HEY" fiben yells over at Kit, then mumbles "oh great". Fiben had ONLY spent the last few DAYS before leaving the Keep packing and repacking his backpacks. And now his thieves picks, fish hooks, scale, grappling hook, paper, ink, lantern, torches, and other stuff are all dumped all over the cavern. ::sigh:: Uh, Torches?
"Yea Kit, Toss me a couple of them Torches outa that mess ya made. And another flask of Lamp oil." Mumbles: "Wild, messy, savage". But now is not the time.
When Tania is ordered back to the Keep, Fiben yells to Omni and Claudius, "Yea, can't they set us up some sort of instant hospital. Heal the wounded and send them back for reinforcements? We don't know how MANY beasties are down there, but we could fight them forever that way." He won't go into detail on just how or why this should be done, that's for the brains to figure out.
Also, if Tania is leaving, Fiben takes back his Cloak +2 he had put over her, but tells whoever goes with her that his OTHER pack, the one Kit didn't spill, has an extra cloak to cover her with if she needs it.
Fiben says nothing in reply to Claudius, but simply tries to stand tall and act like he knows what he's doing. And what he's doing is heading back to the sidewall to blend in the shadows with arrow knocked, ready to play cupid on the heart of the next beast or person who dares make an appearance. And if he sees "Wendy" again, he'll release the arrow while wishing her a "Happy Valentines Day, Sweetheart!". ::WUMP:: ;)
PS. Almost forgot. Thanks to Schar for the CLW. :)
SUBJ: Dani.. (R) FROM: GM Elezar 02/10/92 S#: 495257
Sticking next to Tania, Dani tries to volunteer to go back with her, but then Schar pipes up. Thinking for a bit, Dani shakes his head..
"That's downright silly, Schar.. You're a powerful healer and foe against these undead and have many more reasons to stay than I do. Also, I have more reasons to return.. I'm wounded, not quite as powerful as you, of the same faith as Tania, Kitten doesn't feel comfortable here, and it's going to be tough to get Kitten down into that pit without quite a bit of rope and fussing." (Not to mention that my spell list is very inappropriate for undead as I didn't get a chance t'change it. ;) )
"No.. I'm afraid they'll need you more here, Schar.. 'sides.. I can see that you really WANT to go bash those things."
He'll be quite adamant about this.. The party definitely could use Schar more than a pitiful lil Priest of Mystra. :)
SUBJ: FINROD (R) FROM: SGT STONEY 02/11/92 S#: 790760
The steel-eyed mercenary casts a hurt glance at Blod, when the latter refers to himself and Validar as 'hotheads'. And to think, all this time, he thought Blod LIKED him! ;)
He does, however, back up Steph's tale. "Wendy was most definitely dead and buried... I had charmed her, as that seemed preferable to trussing her up for the return to Gateway and trial. She must have felt she was trying to save me, rushing in between Val and I the way she did. All she succeeded in accomplishing was receiving blows from both blades, leaving her quite regrettably dead. It was the start of deep respect and eventual friendship between myself and Val."
When the order to continue down the shaft is given, Finrod quickly gathers his point squad. "Blod, Steph, you should indeed be the first two down in this situation, but wait a moment. Before you go sliding down a rope weakened by fire..." The Elven multiclass opens his pack, which can now be seen to contain only a small chest. Opening the chest, he removes a coil of rope far too large to fit inside such a small container, then closes the box and dons his pack again.
"Here, use this rope."
He follows Steph and Blod closely, with Perrel in tow.

SUBJ: Kit 1 (R) FROM: ShadowFoxx 02/09/92 S#: 495640
Geez... before Kit, Fiben & especially Dani get to wrasslin' with any undead, we need some CLW's cast upon us to nudge us up into survival range... :>... otherwise we better guard the rear from HERE... ;>
Kit watches the higher-ups decide on the next move & agrees whatever they're gonna do, they better do it fast...
Before Tania & Schar go Bye-Bye (IF they do), she'll suggest maybe one of the Toasty Trio just remain in the Transporter room with Tania, as a last ditch bodyguard, rather than lose Schar...
The other two Toasties can stay on Rear Guard with Perrel as Claudius wants...
She'll take either position, she just doesn't think weakening themselves further makes sense... it's playing right into the Zombie ::Beeper's:: hands... Snatching Failure from the Jaws of Success... She's sure Tania would feel the same... right, kid?... ;>... All for One & One for All, etc., etc. ... :>
Her piece said, she'll Hop To whatever the Honcho's decide on... Bow ready, Fiben's arrow nocked... :>
SUBJ: Blod... FROM: Blod 02/10/92 S#: 479197
Blod remains in the rear to keep an eye on the shaft. When Wendy is mentioned, he will shake his head and mumble something about her being dead. "The only time I saw her was when she was killed by those two hotheads fighting. Good riddance, I say!"
When the order is given, Blod will follow Steph into the shaft.
SUBJ: Omni FROM: Omni Tuens 02/11/92 S#: 844839
"Dani is right on this one, Schar. Tania is in no immediate danger from her wounds, and we could definitely use your skills against these undead. Besides, I can almost promise you we'll have more wounded who will need you before long."
Omni lowers his voice, smiling as he adds the next part. "Besides, if you leave, who will keep an eye on Perrel?"
Omni has his own opinion regarding the back-from-the-dead Wendy...
"I don't believe it really matters right now why she's here. The point is, she is. Let's worry about stopping her... again... and then we can worry about making sure she stays stopped. Besides, I don't like sitting still like this for too long... we're too easy a target."
Assuming the rest of the party is willing, Omni will push forward into the pit, and the unknown.
SUBJ: Schar (R) FROM: Schar 02/12/92 S#: 396380
"You are welcome", I say to Fiben when he thanks me for the CLW.
I am somewhat reluctant to allow Dani to trade places with me, even thought what he does say makes sense. Then Omni starts in on me. I start to relent and even laugh when he mentions keeping an eye on Perrel!
"Very well, I shall remain with the main group." :D
"Thank you, Dani", I say while giving the Priest of Mystra a gentle hug. "I'm sure that Tania is in good hands."
That done, I turn back towards the rest of the group, eager to start down the shaft.
SUBJ: Padraig FROM: GM Shifty 02/12/92 S#: 412856
Pad waits for everyone to decide who is going, if anyone. He'll then power up the pillars with a Web spell. If more than 2 are going, he'll add a Mirror Image to send more. After that, he'll cast a Polymorph Self and wait his turn to go down the shaft, keeping a continual scan going with the Detect Invisible spell. If/when the spell runs out, he'll recast it. (Unless we're in combat or something.)
The Seekers prepare to move onward. Pad powers up the platform sending Dani and Tania back to the Keep.
Blod and Stephanie are the first down the shaft.
They reach the bottom of the 100'+ deep shaft without incident.
Pad's Detect Invisibility checks the area as being clean.
Once the entire group is down below, the Seekers continue on.
A tunnel slowly turns away from the landing cave and eventually ends in a much larger cavern. This is the cave where the Seekers encountered the undead beholder.
The area is currently empty. Only the burns from Finrods Fireball scarring the rocks show any signs of recently happenings in this cavern.
A wide exit leads out of this cave into an even larger cave. The other walls or the ceiling of this cave cannot be seen!! The light simply gives way to eerie darkness...
Then shapes are beginning to form in the darkness. Lots of shapes. They slowly move forward...
Zombies shuffle aimlessly into view. Not as many as last time, but still a considerable number. Over two score normal zombies can be seen. Several bugbear zombies, hill giant zombies and at least one rust monster zombie can be seen!
The Zombie Horde advances upon the Seekers....

Once back at the Keep, Tania is taken to an area to rest up.
Now what?
SUBJ: Padraig (R) FROM: GM Shifty 02/13/92 S#: 433357
"OK, let's do this right this time. Everyone hold still for a moment." Pad throws up a circular Wall of Fire around the party before the zombies reach them, making it just big enough for the party to fight comfortably in.
"That gives us 11 minutes where anything that comes in to melee us is going to be taking heavy damage first. That should give us a nice breather. I suggest we mages make the most of it and lay about with our spells of mass destruction now. Let's save the fighters for the serious stuff."
Pad then shifts into sprite form and flies up above the wall. He drops a Fireball and a Lightning Bolt into whatever clumps he can spot. He then hangs in the air as a target, keeping the staff ready to absorb any incoming spells.
SUBJ: Perrel... FROM: GM Kill 02/14/92 S#: 432224
I breathe a sigh of relief when I hear Schar offer to head back to the castle, and then breathe a sigh of disappointment when Dani goes instead.
I feel somewhat guilty over wanting Schar to go back, but part of me wants her to be somewhere safe, where she can't be hurt.
Before we head down the rope, I give her a hug, and a kiss, before sliding down the rope.
As we move through the caverns, I feel somewhat worried, knowing what the Zombie Master is capable of, and how damaged the party already is. I keep my rapier out, and keep an eye on as many directions as I can.
When the zombies appear, I watch as Pad quickly whips up a wall of fire about us. As he does his casting, I quickly grab my holy symbol, and try turning as many of the nasties as I can.
"In the name of Tymora, return to your graves, and bother us no more!!" I say loudly, as I turn.
SUBJ: Blod... FROM: Blod 02/15/92 S#: 440434
Blod will stay within the circle of fire and carve up anything that makes it through, with the exception of the rust monster. He will try to avoid it. If any of the hill giants come through, Blod will carve them first.
SUBJ: FINROD (R) FROM: SGT STONEY 02/16/92 S#: 452932
The steel-eyed mercenary will wait until Paddy has fired off his two big-damage spells, (and no doubt some turning will occur during that time, as well) then will add a fireball to the mix, if it proves needful.
Spellcasting complete, the Elven multiclass will draw sword and dagger and join the fighters in slicing the undead flesh from the bones of any zombies that survive to poke their snouts into the circle of flame.
-Finrod Fasthand
SUBJ: Omni (R) FROM: Omni Tuens 02/16/92 S#: 450763
Omni stands with his sword raised as the wall of flame is quickly ignited. He waits tensely for a zombie to break through, ready to attack it. On a sudden thought, he shouts to the blasting Pad.
"Try and take out the rust monsters!! If they get through, we can't get them!"
SUBJ: Kit 1 FROM: ShadowFoxx 02/16/92 S#: 452394
Kit will stay near Fiben in the Circle of Flames... Oh, the stench!... Worse than a (reputedly... ;> ) Har Clan Harlot's Breath!... ;>
Unable to see thru the Flames to use her Bow, it's switch back to Sword...
Maybe she & Fiben can double team anything that comes thru... she'll frontally distract it with chops at it's arms & legs & he can take the Rear Zone... or vice versa... :>
If they come up against a Rust Monster Zombie... :p ... she will use her Silver Boot Dagger...
If they have to tackle one of the Big Boys... :pbpb ... let's try & lead them to one of the Specialists... ;>
SUBJ: Stephanie (R) FROM: Saphfire 02/16/92 S#: 430695
"Do you ever get the feeling that history repeats itself??"
When the undead start to come forward, I draw Lightning. Standing back, I wait for Pad to get his magical wall in place. Once it is up, I'll attack whatever comes through.
SUBJ: Fiben Bolger FROM: FatalCharm 02/16/92 S#: 445448
As the party moves along, Fiben covers the rear in leaps and bounds. First trying to blend with the shadows, arrow drawn in his bow, keeping an eye out for anything following till the party gets ahead a ways. Then scampering after the party and assuming position all over again.
When the zombies start moving in and the firewall goes up, Fiben is in no hurry to engage in melee with these things. First he casts his Color Spray into any clump of zombies he can see through the wall, not knowing whether it will effect undead but figuring its as good a time as any to find out. Then he keeps his bow drawn, firing at any zombies he can see through the wall, and firing blindly outwards if he can't see at all.
Once anything pokes its head through the fire though, Fiben tosses his bow behind him and whips out his sword, using his tumbling abilities to keep monsties between himself and Kit for their two-on-one assaults.
Much is distracting, not the least of which is Pad turning into a sprite and flying up? At that point Fiben just gasps to anyone able to hear, "How'd he DO that?", not really expecting an answer at this particular point in time.
The other distraction comes when he hears Omni yell about the Rust Monsters and hears him say, 'If they get through, we can't get them'. At that point, Fiben elbows Kit and yells, "What the hell is a Rust Monster? And WHY can't we get them?" (Tried looking them up in the monstrous compendium volumes 1 and 3 and couldn't find them) :D
SUBJ: Kit again... FROM: ShadowFoxx 02/17/92 S#: 402851
Kit will reply to Fiben...
::big shrug::
"Don' really know me own self...
"But if'n 't gotta name like thet, like as not we bes' keep th' Irons away from 't, eh?...
"Be mos' in-convenient t' be findin' out at jist th' wrong time..."...
::Big Grin & a Wink::
SUBJ: Claudius FROM: GM Falcon 02/17/92 S#: 422987
Claudius frowns:
"AGAIN?" Then, with a touch of irony, "This Zombie Master has NO imagination!"
He throws his Flaming Sphere as the combat begins, using it to chase the rust monsters around. This will be his only action while the wall of fire is erected and such.
If any rust monsters get through, he'll take out his wand/lightning and target it while warning all warriors away. "This guy's mine!"
SUBJ: Schar FROM: Schar 02/18/92 S#: 456864
Once the undead are sighted, I immediately grasp my Holy Symbol and turn the evil creatures!
When they are in HTH range, I'll cast Disruption on my mace and lay into them!
Hearing Fiben's question, I say: "A rust monster is a creature that eats metal! All metal! It's touch causes metal to rust."
SUBJ: Mercy (R) FROM: Mastiff1 02/19/92 S#: 445322
When the undead come to attack, Mercy attempts to turn. After the turning he will lay into them with Common Sense.
Mercy is also wondering what a rust monster is. His eyes grow wide as Schar tells Fiben exactly what they are. Thoughts of the fine Banded Mail he wears rushes through his mind, as he combats the undead.
SUBJ: Perrel... FROM: GM Kill 02/19/92 S#: 408696
After casting, I move by Schar's side, and using my rapier attack any zombies that get through the flames.
"Be careful, love." I say to Schar, even though I know it's kind of pointless, since it's not likely that any of us are going to be careless in a situation like this.
Once more the Seekers have encountered a horde of Zombies in the caverns of the Zombie Master! (What were you expecting, trained war dogs?;)
Pad goes into spell casting, but the priests get their attempts at turning in before the Wall of Fire goes up.
Schar blasts nine zombies out of existence, while Perrel and Mercy combine to drive another dozen away.
Claudius rolls his Flaming Sphere forward towards the zombies, but looses sight of it as the Wall of Fire springs into existence. The Wall blazes a shimmering orange in color and you cannot see through it.
In sprite form, Pad flies over the wall and proceeds to blast away at the zombies.
A Fireball blasts into the zombie horde, exploding on the lone Rust Monster zombie. It and ten other zombies are toasted.
Finrod's sword begins to glow as the horde draws near.
Seeming out of nowhere, a swarm of Magic Missiles fly at Pad, but are absorbed into his staff.
Several zombies reach the wall and fearless pass through. All that remain of them is their burning husks by the time the completely penetrate the wall. They fall to the dirt and give off a most interesting odor!
Unexpectedly, several stalactites drop from the ceiling! They narrowly miss Schar, Fiben, Perrel and Stephanie. Taking a closer glance, these stalactites seem to have eyes!!
Pad resumes his mass destruction of the zombie horde. A Lightning Bolt is targeted on one of the hill giant zombies. The giant is hurt, but continues to lumber towards the Wall. Six zombies and one bugbear zombie are fried in the process.
More of those strange stalactites fall from the ceiling. Once more no Seekers are struck and they harmlessly plunge into the dirt floor of the cave. This time Mercy, Kit, Schar and Stephanie were their intended victims.
The stalactites do nothing once they crash to the ground, other then take up space and look about with their strange eyes!
The enemy spellcaster is at work once more! A sheet of ice forms underneath Pad, but over the Wall of Fire!
A split second after it forms, it drops!
Fortunately, the heat from the Wall of Fire melts the ice, but in turn the water falls covering the entire party in the process!
Thick steam fills the area around the Seekers limiting visiability to almost nothing!
The Wall of Fire is STILL active! It takes more then water to douse it.
SUBJ: GM Notes: (R) FROM: GM Mad 02/19/92 S#: 401775
Situation update:
Last count puts the number of regular zombies in single digits. Two hill giants can be seen, along with a trio of bugbear zombies.
Eight of those strange stalactites are also within the area created by the the still active Wall of Fire.
The steam several reduces visibility! Shapes can be made out at a maximum of 10 feet. Identification is possible at 5 feet.
Hit points are unchanged from last time!
Now what?
SUBJ: Padraig FROM: GM Shifty 02/19/92 S#: 427677
Pad casts about with his Detect Invisible spell trying to spot the enemy spellcaster. If another spell of a directional sort, like Magic Missile, comes in, Pad will look back along its line of flight. If he doesn't see the other mage, he'll cast a Solid Fog in that direction. He'll drop it so that its leading edge starts at the edge of where he can see by the light the party has going. The Fog will be 15' tall (assuming the cavern is at least that tall) and a square roughly 38' on each side. Hopefully that will trap the mage.
While he's waiting for the incoming spell to start this routine, Pad will cast a COLD Fire Shield and a Mirror Image if given the time.
Pad will then fly over the fog and try to spot anyone trapped in the Fog. If he spots the mage on the ground, Pad will cast Demi-Shadow Monsters and make 2 owlbears appear and attack him. He'll then ask the Staff to Life Drain the mage (unless he's an obvious undead, of course). After that, it'll be Magic Missiles.
SUBJ: FINROD FROM: SGT STONEY 02/20/92 S#: 406352
As the spells fly, and the steam rises, the Steel-eyed elven multiclass decides that perhaps this will not be over quite so quickly as he had thought. After a moment of contemplation, he casts upon himself the ENLARGE that he had intended for his beloved earlier, but she had move off before he go the chance.
When finally the remaining zombies enter the circle of fire, Fin moves to engage one of the giant zombies... hadn't realized the sword would get hot about an undead version, but no sense disappointing it... let it drink blood!

Slightly annoyed to be soaking wet, Steph uncharacteristically starts to shout orders! ;D
"Everyone, move to the middle of this area and put our backs together! That way nothing can sneak up on us and if anything appears, it is a foe!"
Doing this, I'll hold my sword ready and wait for something to appear out of the mist to hack at! ;D
SUBJ: Schar (R) FROM: Schar 02/22/92 S#: 449028
"Great. Caught in a magical fire-fight is not my idea of fun! Does anyone have any idea what those things with the eyes are? Should I try to turn them?"
I hear Stephanie's shouting and her idea seems like a good one to me. When undead do appear, I'll get Disruption on my mace and start to wail away! ;D
SUBJ: Omni (R) FROM: Omni Tuens 02/23/92 S#: 393965
The fighter is still anxious to engage the enemy, but has yet to get a chance. When the 'seeing' rocks start in, he's quick to check the ones on the ground to make sure they aren't dangerous.
"Let's be ready when those zombies finally get through!"
On an afterthought, he shouts upwards to the circling sprite.
"Pad! Is there any way you can locate that blasted mage, and move me up close and personal to him, or vice versa?"
SUBJ: Blod... FROM: Blod 02/23/92 S#: 443661

Then the Steam comes & she can't see ::beep:: AnyWhere...
Feeling her way over to Fiben, she'll Already have suggested to him the Back-to-Back for THEM... & when Steph makes it Official, they're Ready...
Unless he would rather wander about alone... :>
She'll want to curiously poke the innards of the Wigglers lightly with an arrow, to check for a reaction... their speed & all that...

SUBJ: Fiben, Wet and Wild :D FROM: FatalCharm 02/23/92 S#: 440302
::THUD::
"Yikes!" Fiben jumps as a Stalactite impales the ground next to him. After noticing they are alive, Fiben decides to avoid touching any of them, who knows what they can do. But seeing they have no actual appendages such as legs, Fiben surmises that if they can move, it must be very slow. Fiben yells out, "Don't stand in one spot. If you move a few feet every few minutes, these things won't be able to get in position over you!"
::SPLASH::
Ah, now the water felt good! That Wall O' Fire is awful hot. But can't see through this darn steam. :/
When Kit feels her way over to Fiben, Fiben considers telling her to watch where she's feeling, but decides he doesn't mind so much. The wild one doesn't look to bad, with her skin slippery and glistening from the combination of steam and sweat. heh heh.
But when Stephanie says for everyone to stand back to back as a group, Fiben says to Kit, "No WAY I'm doing that! If we're all bunched up when any more of these things drop, some of us we'll be hit for sure. But I sure don't mind us guarding each others backsides." And looking down again at Kit's backside, thinks "Nope, sure don't mind guarding that." ;D
(Hey, the emotional frenzy of battle can be very libidinous. ::chuckle::)
So, Fiben and Kitt are separate from the group a bit, but Fighting back to back. From Shadow's last post and the one before, I believe that is acceptable to Kit? Hopefully, this gives Fiben room to tuck and roll if he hears a tell tale Woosh of a stalagmite falling.
And of Course, Fiben has slung his Bow over his back again and has his long sword in hand.
Hey Pad, save some fer us! Yer hogging all the zombies! ;D ::giggle::

About them Zombies... :>
Kit usually prefers her Aged Steaks Tartare, but in THIS case, let's have them VERY Well Done... especially since they're serving themselves... :p
She thinks also that it sure do REEK in there by Now... ::Phew:: ... :p
She wishes she had thought to bring a Bandana or Something... Gaggola!!!... ;>
SUBJ: Mercy FROM: Mastiff1 02/24/92 S#: 420080
Sweating pretty bad in his Armour, Mercy scan the Fire for a foe when his attacked from above. "What is this??!" he stops before trying to pound the rock that fell from above. Then the steam hits and Mercy is quite hot under the collar. He moves back to back with the rest of the group. Once he finds out that there is a enemy mage running around, Mercy grabs his holy symbol and says "Mind Knowledge"(Casting Mind Read spell) He will look for the enemy mage's mind outside the wall of fire. Then report to Pad where she or he or it is, if it has a mind.

I'm more than slightly suspicious when the creatures start dropping from the ceiling above us, but I don't get a chance to do much about it, as suddenly the whole area steams over.
I move even closer to Schar, when Steph gives the back-to-back order. Although I'm wondering just who's in charge of this party, I agree that it might not be a bad idea, and I quickly join in.
I keep an eye peeled ahead, but often sneak glances above mine and Schar's heads, knowing that even though the creatures didn't hit us too well when they could see us, they might just get lucky even in the steam.

Kit takes due notice of every untoward Pat & Squeeze & files them in her "In" Basket...
Now is not the time or Place, but Fiben will remember them, as well, she Trusts with a Sly Grin....

Shad, I never said Fiben TOUCHED Kit. And Kit can't read Fiben's mind, so...
