The noise from their argument hadn't brought unwanted guests. Calrom and Fiddle scouted back to the last corridor. The tracks were still very distinguishable. Calrom guessed 3 or 4 large ape like creatures had made them. His knowledge of magical beasts led him to believe they were Girallons. Fiddle found a secret door slightly ajar at the end of the corridor. The passage continued to the right. Fiddle and Calrom scouted down the passage. Ahead was a room and to the left another passage. The room was a mess. Remnants of wooden shelves were scattered about the floor. The brackets in the walls had also been torn away. Calrom and Fiddle searched amidst the wreckage. Nothing. They trotted back to the others."Now what?" Arendel asked. "I say we open the secret door.""There is another passage," Calrom remarked. "Maybe Fiddle and I should watch that passage."The others agree. Fiddle and Calrom walked back to the passage. On the way there, Arendel and the others opened the secret door.BBBoooooNNNGGGG"What the..." Calrom said. He turned around just in time to see a large Four armed Ape swat him. He swayed backwards. The creature leaned forward and lifted him from the ground. Its claws and muscles did a number on the ranger. He looked like a rag doll. Calrom shrieked in pain before losing consciousness. He was still breathing. Fiddle stared up at the beast and locked eyes with it. It set Calrom down. Several more large shapes appeared behind the first Girallon. Arendel assumed Bear form.Alya began to sing. The words in her song warned the rest of the party not to cast spells or act violently. Two more of the apes rounded the corner. They stood still listening to Alya. Fiddle coaxed the third ape to pick up Calrom and follow. He brought the Girallon to Darian. Darian used regular means to stop Calrom from bleeding. The Girallon set Calrom down.A fourth  Girallon rounded the corner. Arendel calmed the beast. It grabbed the bear and led it back the way it had come. The leopard followed. Sully tried to stay out of the way. He felt frustrated at not being able to help.Fiddle took the other Girallon into the secret passage. He closed the door behind himself. He could still hear Alya singing. The words were ones of worry. She didn't know what had happened to the druid. And the two Girallons in front of her were not going to stay that way if the others didn't come up with a plan.Fiddle looked around. The secret passage had 3 doors. The first was open. Inside a glowing hand floated over a pedestal. The Girallon picked him up. Fiddle tried to squirm free. The beast held him tighter. For several moments Fiddle and the Girallon had a battle of wills. The Girallon thought to protect the hin. Fiddle just wanted to be set free again. Fiddle finally gave up and hoped the others would rescue him.The singing stopped.</blockquote>
