[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 3929362, member: 1210"] When the flames around him subsided, Drelvin staggered up against the wall and drank his sole healing potion. [i]Where are the others?[/i] he wondered. [i]Best to wait for a while. Hopefully, they’ll come after me.[/i] Carefully, he looked the room over. Near the exit, he found a covered pit trap (and not the hard way!). He pushed it open, and peered down at the bottom. His infravision couldn’t ascertain much, but there were small heat sources crawling around down there, on some kind of mound... [i]A body,[/i] he realized, [i]and those little things are rot grubs![/i] He shivered; if he had fallen in the pit, he might not be able to get out- especially with rot grubs burrowing into his skin! Drelvin waited patiently. After a time, he took a drink. [i]The riddle mentioned wards,[/i] he realized. [i]The others are probably afraid that they will be killed if they choose wrong. I may be on my own.[/i] He continued to wait. He let a good hour go by before, reluctantly, admitting to himself, [i]They either can’t or aren’t coming after me.[/i] He nocked an arrow and began edging gingerly around the pit. [i]I have to find my way out of here,[/i] the archer thought. [i]If I don’t, eventually I will run out of food and water- or be eaten by a monster.[/i] The thought of the billymen, with their obvious sexual lust for blood, made him shiver again. Around the pit he went, and then he could see down the hallway. It branched forward and right immediately. Breathing very softly, sliding forward as quietly as possible, Drelvin continued his cautious advance. The hall opened up into a long room to his right. There were several heat sources in there, about the size and shape of large chickens, and they began to bawk at once as Drelvin moved in. They started to flap and strut towards him. Taking no chances, Drelvin launched an arrow at one of the birds. His shaft flew true, piercing the thing’s breast; but somehow, it lived. It was only enraged. His fingers gripped another arrow and quickly fitted it to the string as he backpedaled, but the birds were on him. Pecking at him- That was the last thing Drelvin felt, as the touch of the cockatrice turned him to stone. [i][b]Next Time:[/b][/i][b][/b] But what has happened to our other heroes? Who else has been split off from the party, and how? [/QUOTE]
