[QUOTE="diaglo, post: 1011004, member: 2885"] [b]Tarzan and Jane meet the Blob[/b] The corridor went beyond Fiddle's light. Darian stepped up with his lantern. 40' and it turned. Fiddle scouted ahead. Alya observed the walls for any inconsistencies. None were noted. At the bend Fiddle found a large pit. "Let me check it out," Fiddle said. Fiddle began to hammer a spike into the ground 15' back from the pit and attach his rope. "We can leap this," Darian noted. "It looks about 10 ft across." "Speak for yourself," Sully hinted. "Okay," Fiddle was ready. "I'll climb down into the pit and look for any goodies." Fiddle tossed 35' of rope down into the pit. He grabbed with one hand behind and one in front as he looped the rope around his waist. He would rappel down face first. He leapt off the edge and down. Darian stepped to the edge with his lantern. The first 10' were no problem. Suddenly the remaining 25' or 3 lbs of rope were weightless. As if they no longer existed. Fiddle saw something move. He reversed momentum and ran back up the rope. Darian reacted. He too saw the movement. "SOmething coming," Fiddle screamed. Fiddle and Darian just made it clear of the pit as a cubic glob of fluid slid up the pit. They ran. "It's a cube," Alya said. She fired an arrow into the mass. The shaft dissolved. The arrow head floated. She ran. Vlad too fired into the creature and ran. Sully picked up Redd with one hand and ran. "How do we stop it?" Fiddle yelled as he ran. He pulled out his bow. Darian called for help from Lathander. "At least it is slow." A brief flash of light and then a hiss soon followed. Everyone was in the statue room again. Alya, Vlad and Fiddle fired arrows. Sully waited. When the creature entered the room, he called forth his magic balls. The gelatin became goo and burst on the floor. "I think it's dead," Fiddle poked at it with his dagger. "Does anyone have any rope? The cube ate mine. My silk rope. That was 10gp and the most useful piece of equipment I had." "I've got a hemp rope," Darian answered. "I do still right, Fiddle?" "I can fly us across Fiddle," Sully remarked. Fiddle smiled. "I'll jump it," Darian said matter-of-factly. Vlad nodded too. "Attach a rope Sully and I'll swing across," Alya thought. Fiddle crossed with Sully. He guarded the other side. Sully hammered a spike into the ceiling and tied the rope. Alya grabbed hold and swung. She landed in the pit with the rope. The spike just missed her head. Sully recovered the rope and Alya climbed up. Her dignity almost intact. Darian and Vlad secured the rope on their side as Fiddle and Alya did on the other. They crossed over without incident. Fiddle scouted ahead. The party found a cavern with a float ball of eyes. Fiddle fired an arrow into the thing. It exploded. The cavern contained a pit of bubbling tar and a slick bridge. Alya used some magic to clean the bridge. [/QUOTE]
