Even the voices in his head started to lisp."Anon," Sully said. "After I have rested and regained my magic.""I think we should talk strategy," Fextor piped up. "We know there will be trouble with the mind flayers. What else are we to expect?""Golums," Erik noted. "I seem to remember the guards outside the main gate were golems.""I have a magic ring," Fiddle added.The party haggled over what spells to cast ahead of time. Who should be in the first group. What to do and where to meet. And much more. Fiddle gave Erik some more coins to help pay for his and Grishelm's fun. When all was said an done. Sully cast many spells; Darkvision for the group, Invisibility Sphere, and Fiddle cast Longstrider on himself. And Valgrim buffed up Valorean strength and muscles.  Finally Sully teleported Fiddle, Fextor, and Vlad in the first trip.For a few seconds everyone was disoriented. They stood deathly quiet. When their senses returned they were in a tunnel. Many hobgoblins, drow, and gray dwarves worked on the stone while 2 squidmen stood nearby watching. Sully mumbled his spell again to return to get the others.The squidmen turned at the sound of the gnomes voice.Show yourselves. We know you are there.Fextor strained. Fiddle dumped Harp out of his bag. Harp ran down the tunnel away from the miner slaves. Vlad charged the nearest mind flayer. He appeared 10 ft after he left Fextor’s side. The battle was joined. The slaves ran after Harp. Both squidmen turned their attention on Vlad. A wave of crushing magic washed over Fiddle and Fextor. Vlad did not fare so well. He dropped his axe and stood stock still. Fextor ran to his aid. He pounded a hobgoblin into paste with his sword. Fiddle called for Harp. The invisibility was gone with the dwarf. So he ran up and stabbed the mind flayer. More slaves ran thru the tunnel. Two more died to Fextor and Fiddle’s blades. And two more squidmen followed them. One squid attacked Vlad with its tentacles. The other blasted at Fiddle and Fextor. Fiddle shook it off. Fextor didn’t. Nor did Harp. One on 4 Fiddle didn’t like the odds.Sully and company arrived. Fiddle moved on Vlad’s foe. He sliced and diced the squid in all the vital spots. It fell over dead. The other one blasted Fiddle again. This time Fiddle couldn’t protect himself. He dropped his weapons. One of the other two blasted the slaves and new arrivals. The last one tried to grab Fextor by the skull.Now it was Alya’s turn to face the squidmen alone. He called on his bow and swore an oath Death to my enemies in elven. The bard unleashed 3 pinpoint shots. Now there were only 2 mind flayers. Valorean charged into the melee. The mind flayers tried a different tactic. The magic wasted on the valiant bodyguard. He hacked away at the near one defending Fextor and Fiddle from harm. The only unaffected slave, a drow female, got away.Alya rained another volley of arrows into the mind flayers.  These were not so charged with magic nor curses.  The mind flayers blasted Alya and tried again to sway the bodyguard to their side. Alya froze. Valorean meted out more justice with his blade. Vlad snapped out it. He stabbed  the most injured mind flayer in the eye with his rapidly drawn rapier. Now there was only one. It stepped back and vanished.</blockquote>
