[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 598529, member: 1210"] The ooze pulsates and writhes, crawling towards Alcar's flying form. But the celestial is not slow to respond! His mace is already in his hand and he swings a mighty blow at the strange, bile-sweating thing and hits it soundly. The thing ripples, and then divides wetly in two. Alcar cries out in frustration, then swings again. When his mace connects, the liquid thing splits wetly again. He checks his next swing, gritting his teeth. Meanwhile, behind and below him, the rest of the party hurries to catch up with Alcar. Horbin reacts to the battle first, half-closing his eyes and invoking the power of Dexter. A blast of searing light shoots from his outstretched hand, blasting into one of the oozes and destroying it. Seeing this, Sheva follows suit, destroying the second, and Alcar tries a [i]searing light[/i] of his own at the third. That one, however, survives the holy light of Galador and extrudes a pseudopod to strike at him, missing only because of the angel's agile maneuvering. Then a burst of ringing sound explodes the ooze with punishing force, cast by Sheva. It dies, and Alcar just shakes his head grimly. "Split in two," he mumbles to himself. "That sucks." Then he turns to the rest of the group. "Come on!" he calls, and continues flying up the stairs. The stairs end in an empty room. There's nothing in there except exits- two doors and two passageways both lead out from the chamber. As the rest of the party clambers and air walks up into the chamber, Alcar begins flying down one of the halls- and his face whitens. Coming down the hall at him is a spherical shape with a large central eye and several stalks on top of it.... [i][b]Next Time: [/b][/i][b][/b]Is it beholder time already?? Stay tuned and find out!
