Shriekers Fiddle thought. They must be over by the Gate.Alya ran back to the party, "There is another mind flayer and a metal construct with it just inside the portcullis." He sang to inspire the party to be more courageous.Pixie Sully commanded his magic. The air around the party quickened and then so did everyone's actions. Fextor and Vlad fired their bows in rapid succession at the guards. The Two fleshy things moved onto the bridge. They lumbered towards the party. Fiddle unloaded his gnome contraption on the lead Gollum. Splash, Splash, Splash, Splash. The chemicals ignited with the air. Valorean and Valgrim moved into position to guard the front of the ranks. Valgrim called on Lathander's grace to bless the party.Alya sang a tune. An area of grease covered the bridge. One Gollum went down. It struggled to rise again. Sully invoked his magic. The air behind the Gollums sparked. The arrows pushed out of their hides. Their wounds healed."Fire and cold," Alya yelled. "It is the only magic that will work against these things."Fextor and Vlad riddled them with another volley of arrows. The combined damage from Fiddle, Vlad, and Fextor was enough. One Gollum collapsed and fell off the bridge into the green mist and the chasm below. Alya and Fiddle went quiet. Fiddle put away his calculus and drew his blades. The remaining Gollum stood and exchanged blows with Valorean and Valgrim. It too collapsed.Alya pulled his bow and scanned the opposite side of the chasm. Sully dispelled the force on Alya. Noise returned. Sully shook off a spell. Fiddle saw movement from a slit about 20ft up on the far side stalagmite. .Fextor drew his guisarme. He pushed the other Gollum off the bridge to follow its fellow guard. Vlad waited. Fiddle with his new found Sully magic sprinted thru the grease, over the bridge, and under the stalagmite. He threw Sliver into the squidman's head. The silver dwarven powered dagger proved accurate. Valgrim tried to follow Fiddle but ended up in the grease. Vlad peppered all around the arrow slit. Alya moved into better position and fired. Valorean hung back not trusting the grease.Sully lit the air up with another ball of lightning.  The squidman withdrew from the arrow slit. Fextor joined Valgrim in the grease. Fiddle rose in the air using his drow clasp. He stabbed with Lightning Strike. Not quite as hurtful but it still drew blood. Vlad leapt the grease and approached the gate. Valgrim rose and crossed the bridge. Alya dismissed his spell. He closed the distance too.  Valorean on his heels.Sully flew to the other stalagmite. The mind flayer blasted Fiddle. The hin hung limp. His weapons clanged to the ground below. The squid fled. Fextor climbed the stalagmite and grabbed Fiddle's ankles they sank back to solid ground. Vlad waited for signs of the mind flayer. Valgrim bashed at a shrieker. Valorean helped him. Alya began to sing words of encourgement anew. Sully crawled thru the arrow slit and down the back into the prison. He spied the mind flayer and unleashed another ball of lightning. The mind flayer ran. Vlad peppered the area. It was too late the thing vanished. Valgrim and Valorean ended the other shrieker.Fiddle snapped back to normal. He grabbed his weapons and leapt back into the air, thru the air slit, and down the back. He joined Sully by a crank mechanism. They both tried it. Fiddle wasted his energy. While Sully easily rolled up the portcullis.Fiddle broke it off so the way out was open.</blockquote>
