[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 1989787, member: 1210"] At first, Timothy thinks the slide is going to be great fun. It is steep enough that he’s moving very quickly, spiraling downwards. When the huge, razor-sharp blade comes into view he only has time to gape; and then it’s cutting up into him, between his legs. *** For a long time he floats in blood-red darkness. Finally, when Timothy comes around, he shifts his body slightly and screams in agony as the terrible jagged gash in his pelvis twists a drill of pain through him. “Timothy! It’s okay, you made it,” reassures Martini, grabbing him by the shoulders. “Pull yourself together!” The autistic sorcerer whimpers in pain. ”Don’t worry, Timmy, we’re resting for a couple of days,” Boddynock says brightly. Timothy moans, clutching himself. *** [i][b]9/6/368 O.L.G., 9 a.m.[/b][/i][b][/b] “I managed to throw myself off the slide before I hit the blade,” Boddynock explains as Timothy stretches carefully. The wounds are mostly healed. “Then we dropped a rope from above and everyone else climbed down. But it’s a dangerous climb- if you fall, you might hit the razor. So we didn’t want to climb back up and down unless it was necessary. So we’ve been resting here the last few days.” The gnome groans. “But I can’t shake these damn buzzing bowels!” Indeed, the small room stinks of excrement. “It wasn’t until we cleared away the poop that we found the secret door,” Federico pipes up. “Well, let’s check it out!” exclaims Lita. “You keep saying that, and I keep telling you, we have to wait until Tim is rested,” Martini growls. The two lock eyes for a moment in a stare of hate. “I think I’m ready,” Timothy says. Carefully the group clusters around the secret door. In one swift motion, Martini throws it open; and below them, the group hears a sloshing and churning. “There’s some kind of pool down there,” Martini comments, and Timothy casts a [i]light[/i] below. A nightmare creature is revealed: an eerie translucent worm-like creature, with a huge number of tentacles surrounding a central maw. The halflings (and kobold and gnome) can see its organs within its quivering, tube-like body. The creature is huge, probably 30’ long; our heroes gape in horror at it. Suddenly it jerks upright and thrusts its body up through the trap door. With a hostile screech, it lunges at Martini.
