He heard the clash of arms and saw a brilliant flash of light from the Southern Chamber. He edged around the corner with weapons drawn.Two wolfmen and a woman were engaged in melee with Calrom, Sully, and Marcus of Tyr. Darian and Arendel hung back. Alya lay covered in his own blood at the woman's feet. She looked familiar, but also devilish. She had small horns on her head under a headband. The image of Nicolon flashed into Fiddle's head. Sully too was in dire need of aid. No one noticed the hin. Fiddle flung Hole Punch. It should've bit deep into the kidneys of one of the wolfmen. It barely made a scratch. But it was enough to get the creature's attention.Sully shouted a spell at the woman. She dropped the sword and ran for the exit. Lightning Strike left a scratch. One wolfman attacked Fiddle."Pick it up you fools," the woman commanded. "And follow me."Calrom dropped the bloody axe and leapt at the remaining wolfman. Darian fired an errant crossbow bolt at the woman. Arendel called down a bolt of lightning on one of the wolfmen. Fiddle stepped back and tossed Hole Punch again. It struck true, but left not even a mark."She's getting away," Fiddle yelled. "But she's left the sword of lies."A cackle of electricity hit all around Fiddle. He escaped unscathed. He looked at his new ring and smiled. "That's how the mind flayer did it," he thought. Plus he was nimble of foot.The wolfmen weren't so lucky. One picked up the sword the other collapsed. The woman was gone. Redd tried valiantly to slow her. He took a nip at her heels."Are you sure it is the sword Fiddle?" Sully yelled. "I've only got one shot at this."The other wolfman hurried for the door. He too underestimated the gnome's magic. He tossed the sword far away, over the pit. It would've plummeted if not for the gnome's fast thinking. It floated like a feather. Arendel streaked past in the form of a large hawk. He snatched the sword. Marcus of Tyr, Calrom, and Darian gave chase after the woman and wolfman. The woman was long gone. The wolfman was not so lucky. Arendel's storm knocked him from the ledge. Down, down, down....Fiddle searched the other wolfman for a potion of healing or anything else that might be useful. Alya was still down. Sully was already there pouring a potion down the kobold's throat. The two casters were both so close to death's door. Fiddle stayed to protect them in case something else came from the doors.Fiddle did find some useful items, but not a potion. It was then Fiddle realized he too had taken a few blows during the combat.</blockquote>
