Just as she starts  running, Fhangrim, his girls with Noctua hanging close to her friends  also start running. This is working well until Leather and Haaku race  past the group (they are the steel against steel of the fight). First  Ilex gets bumped to the left managing to catch herself on a pipe, then  just as she rights herself and starts moving again she gets bumped to  the right, however there is no pipe this time to hang onto and Ilex trips on something in the water:  The dead body of Noctua!  Ilex knew that this is not something that she should ever, ever see...since Noctua was not of this realm, and any severe bodily injury should simply send her back to the realm of the fey once more.  Walking over to her best of companions, she kneels at her side.  She can see no visible wounds on the owlbear, but it is still and not breathing.  While she inspects Noctua, she offhandedly notices that her companions have moved along past her in the tunnels, leaving her there alone.  For some reason that doesn't bother her...at least not until she sees a flickering of the lights in the area.  Suddenly, the tunnel goes completely dark, and Ilex feels the splash of mucky water as Luna hits the ground.  Now panicked, Ilex wonders just what in the world is happening to her companions!  She doesn't have but a moment to contemplate this, however, as Ilex feels the floor beneath her give out and she falls....and falls...and falls...into a bottomless pit.  Your heart races near to the point of palpitation and give out just before you black out, the anticipation of being dashed against the hard surface of whatever lined the bottom of the pit your last thought before it all went dark. [/sblock]While Leather and Haaku race past Fhangrim, they, too, notice their large furry companion staring off into nothingness while his three companions attempt to prod him into a wakeful state...[sblock=Fhangrim]Fhangrim wasn't accustomed to running through this muck and though the  tunnels were plenty wide, with his height, he often had to stop and duck  making the exercise even more tiring. "Maybe it's not worth it girls, what do you say?"Ursa Major and Ursa Minor respond with a deep-throated growl and they lick their lips hungrily, circling around Fhangrim.  The Gnoll ponders the actions of his well-trained and loved pets, wondering why in the world his ladies would do such a thing.  The answer to his unspoken question was given when he looked down at his chest...A bloody gaping hole could be seen where his major organs should have been, and a spectral claw slowly extracted itself back through that hole in his chest, and out of the hole in his back.  Fhangrim manages to ask "why?" to his companions just before they descend upon him, eviscerating his flesh and chomping on his innards.  You hear the sounds of your old pack mates laughing at you as the world goes black...
