[QUOTE="Femerus the Gnecro, post: 716005, member: 2381"] Saryna’s mental revelry was rudely cut short by Kerim, whose unbridled curiosity culminated in a head-on collision with Saryna’s invisible form. Stopping suddenly, Kerim felt the air in front of him, unsure whether he was going blind, or whether Saryna was, in fact, invisible. A gasp of indignation from Saryna, accompanied by a full-bodied slap from an invisible hand led Kerim to conclude the latter. “Saryna! You’re invisible?” With the heads of her companions turning towards her, Saryna slung the bow behind her, ending its magic. As the glowing runes faded, Saryna winked back into existence. “Apparently.” Lucien slammed the journal onto the desk with a crash, a look of irritation upon his face. “We have no time for frivolities. Unless you all would like to spend the night in these woods, I suggest we return to the issue at hand.” Saryna snorted, and Kerim turned to look at Lucien with a pained look on his face. Saryna was the first to speak. “I can find the cave… just give me an an hour.” Less than an hour later, Saryna’s word proved to be true. A cave loomed before them, the product of thousands of years of erosion and tectonic shifts. The rocks at the entrance, slick with moisture, led downwards… disappearing into the darkness after only a few feet. The Dwarf was the first to approach, stepping to the mouth of the cave to use his Dwarven sight on the impenetrable darkness below. “Looks like quite a fall… I’m not su…WHOA!” The Dwarf’s monologue was cut short as a stone beneath his foot broke loose… sending him sliding down into the damp darkness of the cave. For a moment, the rest of the party stood staring in shock… almost bemused by the Dwarf’s predicament. Then, as if in afterthought, Kerim dove after the Dwarf, sliding nimbly down the stones into the darkness. Even before he landed, Kerim could hear the muted curses of the others as they found themselves sliding down the rocks with even less control than the Dwarf. Moments later, the party found themselves enshrouded in darkness, piled on top of each other, knee deep in water. Only the Dwarf had a chance of seeing anything, and he was at the bottom of the pile. With a grunt, the Dwarf stood, throwing his companions in several directions. The sounds of the caves were echoed tenfold… the dripping of water, the breathing of the party, the rocks settling… and also an unidentifiable *click-clack-clack* sound, which seemed to echo from the very walls themselves. With a curse, the Dwarf looked upwards and drew his axe, his muscles clenched in readiness for combat. Before he can even shout a warning to the others… the party is attacked from all directions, stabbed, poisoned and slashed with the weapons of countless unseen foes. It took a few moments for Damek to gain his bearings, but finally he managed to loose a simple light spell, illuminating the mass of giant spiders crawling on and around the hapless group of adventurers.
