Sully would carry Redd. And Alya would carry Fiddle. Fiddle held onto a rope. He and Calrom secured the rope on this side. Calrom and the others would cover the recon team with their bows.They made it safe. Fiddle quickly tied the rope off. Alya and Sully went to scout ahead. Fiddle turned back to the others to let them know all was safe. When he turned back to Alya and Sully...a familiar blast of energy struck his mind. The mind flayer had done it again. Fiddle couldn't move. He saw a blast of Lightning out of the corner of his eye. Sully must be free he thought. And then a bright light streaked past. One of Darian's light spells."Fear not, Alya," Marcus of Tyr called out. "I'm coming."Something was wrong with Alya. But Fiddle couldn't see. And then another ball of Lightning exploded."It is done," Sully yelled in relief. "We are victorious.""I'm done for," Marcus of Tyr yelled. His voice trailing off. "Continue the quest....."(There was much activity for the next half of a minute, but Fiddle could neither see in that direction nor move)Feeling returned. Fiddle scrambled to the mind flayer. The others were gathered on either side of the cavern looking down. The body was on a stairs leading down. He rifled thru the mind flayer's things. A pouch with two vials; one empty, one full; and two rings on the mind flayer's hands. Fiddle didn't have time to pry the rings, so he cut the fingers and pocketed them. He scouted ahead. There were 7 more bodies. Whether the lightning killed them or the mind flayer Fiddle couldn't tell. He went back to the others. A hippogriff dropped Marcus of Tyr on this side of the cavern. A large eagle, Arendel, buffeted the paladin with its wings. Calrom and Darian glided across the rope. Neither made it without some trouble. The animals had to stay behind."Marmaduke," Fiddle yelled. "Guard Mulebone."The Brown bear, Rothe, and Riding dog made an odd group."And what did you find, Fiddle?" Alya asked."Sully," Fiddle said. "I think you killed several more things with your Lightning balls. I found 7 more bodies.""Fiddle the Mind Flayer is missing its fingers," Darian called out."I wonder how that happened," Fiddle shrugged and scouted ahead.</blockquote>
