The floor was covered with an azure colored carpet. The incense of cedar, saffron, and ambergris filled the room. Miscellaneous furniture, all dyed blue, was scattered about the room. “I’m sensing a pattern here,” said Kham.A hulking blue humanoid, trailing cold mist from its jagged maw, advanced on them.“What the hell is that?” asked Vlad.“I don’t know, but it’s going to be sorry it tangled with us,” said Beldin.  The room was freezing.  The creature reared back and took a deep breath.“Behind me!” shouted Beldin.Sebastian and Vlad ducked behind Beldin.  A blast of icy cold air covered much of the furniture with rime.“Ha!” Beldin charged forward as Vlad looped around the creature’s right side.  “This shield is made of ignium!”  He hacked at the beast and chips of ice flew from it.  “Forged it myself!”“I think this is some form of elemental,” said Sebastian.  Vlad struck it from the opposite side.Enraged, the elemental turned and unleashed another blast of frost, trailing Vlad as he dove over a blue chair. Sebastian pointed and searing rays danced from his fingertips, singing the thing.  Pirouettes of steam trailed from its wounds.Beldin blocked a rake of the elemental’s claws and retaliated with Windcutter, chipping deeply into the beast’s shoulder.  It hissed in the dwarf’s face, freezing pieces of his beard.Vlad came back around and struck at its head while Beldin struck low. The creature suddenly froze in place. Blue light leaked out from a spider web of cracks that latticed the elemental’s form.“Uh…is it supposed to do that?”“Get behind me!” shouted Beldin.They hunkered down behind the shield. Ice exploded outwards, splintering wood and skewering the walls with deadly icicles. Vlad looked around.  “Where’s Kham?”</blockquote>
