Ulfgar would cast sanctuary on himself and then obscure the passage near the Rock with a mist. Everyone would use the wall as a guide to flee to safety. Ulfgar strode forward. The others followed behind him ready to bolt.Ulfgar called on Moradin. What he got instead was a stone appendage. The creature lashed out and pulled the dwarf to its mouth 10 ft. Veridian fired an arrow. It winged the appendage, but didn't free Ulfgar. Erik ran up and grabbed Ulfgar. He tried to heave the dwarf back. Elwood moved forward and played a tune on his flute. Bartol moved into range and missed the appendage with his Greatsword. Thane called out to his friends. Three circles of light appeared near the Rock.Ulfgar struggled with Erik's help to free himself. The Rock was stronger. But he moved no closer. The Rock sent out 5 more strands. One grabbed Elwood, another Bartol, several missed Erik and Bartol. Veridian downed a potion from the Myconid King. He was suddenly much more agile. But he also had things of blue and red streaking thru his hair. He looked almost Rastafarian. Erik pulled again on Ulfgar. Bartol chopped down on the strand holding him. He was free. Thane's rat friends attacked the Rock. Thane summoned his ball of fire. It struck the Rock. Thane's eyes bugged out. The Rock screamed in pain. Elwood was dragged closer to the Rock and into the fast flowing water. He couldn't get free."Guys," Thane said. "That thing took every ounce of my skill and then some pure luck. I don't think magic will work. But regular fire might."Ulfgar's strength left him. The Rock pulled him closer. Three of the strands grabbed at the rats. And the maw latched on to one. Elwood too moved closer. And his strength too was going. Veridian fired an arrow at the Rock. It was too tough."It is well protected, too," Veridian added.Elwood slipped free. The current pulled him downstream. Veridian moved to the edge of the water to wait for Elwood. He hoped to catch him before he was swept down and under the rock face. Bartol severed the strand. Ulfgar was free. But the weight of his armor was too much. He couldn't even lift a finger. Erik tugged on Ulfgar and dragged him back to safety. Thane's rats attacked their strands. They did little but distract the Rock. Thane waded out into the current. He and Veridian would save Elwood.Elwood paddled over to Thane. Veridian and Thane pulled him up onto the bank and then onto the solid ground. The Rock had one free strand. It caught Bartol. Bartol chopped himself free and ran to safety. Unfortunately, Bartol was back at the entrance to this cavern and the others were stuck back by the cells. The Rock bit into another rat. They vanished.</blockquote>
