[QUOTE="Xaltar, post: 6141, member: 480"] ------------------------------------------- Session 3, Part 3: Hooked on Roughner... ------------------------------------------- The party continued back through the beehive and followed the stream to the north to find the creature that had posed as Galath’s ghost on the first night. Holden had sworn that he had seen something swim off during that encounter. With Holden in the lead, they soon found a pool where this part of the stream ended. Although the surroundings appeared to be a natural cave, there was a set of carved stairs that appeared to lead up into the dilapidated keep above. As the party drew nearer to the water, a few of the members spotted something moving in the water. As if in slow motion, the air quickly filled with the toxic fumes as Spiderfang and Holden lept directly into the brisk 15 feet deep water. The next couple of minutes were completely chaotic for the group. People were running every which way trying to avoid the toxic fumes, but also trying to get in on the action. Once the party had all made it around the gas to the surface of the pool, they found that Holden and Spiderfang were having a great deal of difficulty fighting the water mephit in its natural environment. Furthermore, the mephit had successfully gated in a friend, and the two watery fiends were putting up a good deal of resistance. From above Drexel blasted the creatures with his wand of magic missles, but the others found that there was little they could do. That is until one of the mephits tore into Spiderfang’s chest with its claws, sending him into unconsciousness. It was apparent to the others as his body went limp, that he was going to drown before he bled to death. Immediately Borghin readied his grappling hook to fish for Spiderfang, yet his first attempt to fish him out failed. Desperate, Drexel demanded Roughner to jump into the water and help. Roughner had only hesitated due to the fact that he wore heavy chain, and was bound to sink to the bottom of the pool rather then being effective in combat. Without further prodding, he lept into the pool just as Borghin made his next cast into the water with his grappling hook. Ziona, waiting on the bank to heal Spiderfang closed her eyes as she witnessed the grappling hook catch Roughner in the face right beneath his troll-skull helmet. The now murky water was quickly turning a light shade of pink with all of the blood that had been spilled. None of the party members could see what was happening until Borghin’s rope went taught. As he braced himself against the weight and began pulling in the line, he found that he caught Roughner who in turned managed to grab onto Spiderfang. As Roughner laid the limp body of Spiderfang on the ground, Ziona rushed over to assist. His lips we cold and colorless, but with her extensive knowledge of the healing arts, she managed to resuscitate the young monk. Knowing that Spiderfang was going to be okay, Holden took one last breath and dove back into the dark pool to skewer his friend’s attacker as Drexel pounded it with magic missles.
