[QUOTE="Richards, post: 2191489, member: 508"] Once back up at the surface, the Monster Hunters had a long walk back home ahead of them. At least the sun had come up, so they wouldn't be stumbling in the dark. Still, Rhionda wasn't fit to travel such a distance with her broken leg. "Carry me, Bunt?" she suggested coquettishly. "Better yet," replied Buntleby. He turned to Spontayne and Willowquisp. "I've got one [i]teleport[/i] spell ready," he said. "Would you mind if I took Rhionda back and looked to getting her leg attended to?" "By all means," responded the elderly sage, looking to Spontayne for confirmation. The black-clad wizard nodded his agreement. "We'll be fine," he confirmed. "You two go on ahead." Buntleby gathered up Rhionda in his arms. They made quite the bedraggled pair, the wizard covered in bloody scratches and his robe in tatters, with a burn mark along his ear, and the fighter with her broken leg strapped to her scabbard. He said a few arcane syllables, and they popped from existence, leaving Spontayne and Willowquisp alone to face the long hike home. "Shame we didn't actually get to see the flumph's temple cavern," Willowquisp sighed. "I would have loved to have seen it for myself. Cartificant's notes were quite intriguing. Did you read the section on the wall paintings?" "Indeed," replied Spontayne. "But did you notice anything about how this one was laid out?" "What do you mean?" "Think about it: A flat, circular cavern, with two narrow passages leading up and a mess of curving - one could almost say tentaclelike - passages coiled below. Remind you of anything?" Willowquisp stopped short. "A flumph!" he cried. "A giant, hollowed out flumph!" "SHHHHH!" came a sound from behind them. The two Monster Hunters whirled around, to see a little green flumph hovering behind them by the hillside. Each of its twin eyestalks focused on one of the humans, and, lacking fingers and lips, slowly raised a tentacle to its forward rim-hole. "Secret temple," it reminded them in its squeaky voice. "No tell." The Monster Hunters looked at each other. "Very well," they agreed. That seemed to satisfy the flumph, for it darted back into its hidden temple with a hiss of its air-jets. Spontayne and Willowquisp turned back toward the city and began their long walk home. [/QUOTE]
