[QUOTE="muhcashin, post: 655509, member: 5346"] [b]More caverns[/b] Meliadoul grabbed her mask and flashed at the undead. Then, she ordered them to turn and stand in formation. The skeleton did just that. "Well, just like a small personal army of goblins, without the smell." The Neuromancer mused. Suddenly something crashed into the priestess. She whirled about trying to see what it was. A hideous ghoul-like creature tried to stab its sharp claws into her tough mithril breatsplate. It thrashed as it tried to bear Meliadoul down. The cleric managed to escape from those wicked claws. Soon enough, Zal'Nir was all over the beast, his longsword slashing furiously. His brother joined the fray and tried to find a good opportunity to stab his lethal dagger into the the ghoul's skin. A claw raked accross Zal'Nir's face and as he howled in pain, the fighter noticed that his legs no longer moved. His sword clanged to ground and in this moment of panic. He tried to pick it up, but his arms were numb. All he could do was stare helplessly at the gaunt figure as it flashed a voracious smile of serrated teeth. When Zal'Nir thought that all was lost, in came Rizzen's dagger. A perfect stab right into the thing's neck. The monster fell and a triumphant grin etched across the assassin's face. He looked into his paralyzed brother's eyes. Zal'Nir swore that he would have broken Rizzen's nose onyl if he could move. It took a few minutes until the monster's paralyzation wore off. They continued ever deeper into the caverns. The drow eventually arrived in a cavern chamber that reeked of death. The Neuromancer had come to the conclusion that this must have been the ghoul-like creature's lair. Rizzen covered his nose, he couldn't bear the nauseating stench. Piles of gear lay here and there, it must have belong to the creature's victims. Zal'Nir gathered every single item and but them into his bag of holding. The adventurers pressed on and met the remnants of a wall that formerly sealed the passage to a larger cavern. Pieces of the masonry wall lie scattered on the ground. As they approached the entrance, Zal'Nir keen ears noticed a clicking. He motionned it in drow sign language that he heard something. Meliadoul motionned back her suspicions: that was the sound of a spider. To be sure of her conjecture, she sent one of her newly acquired servants first. They heard bones crack and crumble to the ground. They were expendable, so she sent another one. The sound of smashed bone echoed back again. Meliadoul wasn't a very patient elf, and frustration grew after a few seconds. She stomped right into the cave. She had been correct. A large spider that was the size of horse stood before her. Zal'Nir approached, sword in hand, ready to charge, but then realized that the spider wasn't threatening his sister. It simply stood there idly just the like the skeletons they had found earlier. The Neuromancer approached and shuddered. The group chose to ignore the spider as it posed no immediate threat. Behind the spider, they found a hole that sloped steeply downwards. In a single file, the dark elves, along with their undead servants, marched on deeper. [/QUOTE]
