Alia sang a familiar tune. Erlend slipped in the puddle of grease, dropping his shield and sword. A priest with a  Short sword  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />  Darian followed with his own display of magic. Erlend's flailing armor made no sound. Erin summoned his force shield. He moved to defend Fiddle. Vlad fired an arrow over Erlend's  head. Erlend touched the wall. It changed form. A large black yawning portal appeared. Out dropped a horrible creature seemingly drawn from a lunatic's nightmares, an amorphous ooze of flesh the size of a human with countless eyes and toothy mouths constantly forming and disappearing all over often retreating into its body even as they became apparent. It made no sound, but nothing near Erlend did. Erlend slipped sideways.Alia turned her attention to the monster. She started to sing as she drew forth her finest arrows, the ones coated in magic. She fired into the mass. Darian tried a different tactic. He cast another spell on Erlend's armor. This one had the priest squirming and smoking. Darian moved forward. Fiddle snapped out of his frozen state. He charged the priest from a side opposite Darian. He buried his own sword into a vulnerable spot. Erin attacked the monstrous mass of flesh. Vlad slung his bow and drew his rapier as he advanced. The mass sent a series of mouths at Erin. One latched onto the monk, thru his force and thru his magical coating of armor. The monk lost some of his endurance as the creature stayed fast. Erlend moved clear of the hin and Darian. He tried to grab for his holy symbol. All was still silent around him. But not so around Erin, Vlad, and the creature. The creature was gibbering from its many mouths. Vlad's face went blank.Alia was in the field of silence now. She  fired another magic arrow at the fleshy creature.  Darian maneuvered near Erlend. He struck out with his mace. Erlend's armor still smoked. Fiddle ran passed and stabbed again from behind. Another serious fatal blow. Erlend fell. Erin broke free of the mass. Vlad still stood lost in thought. The creature attacked both he and Erin. It latched onto Vlad and bit Erin again. Vlad struck back defensively.Alia fired another arrow. Darian dragged Erlend by the boots towards the battle. Fiddle joined the fight. Erin swung at the mass. The creature was surrounded. It lashed out at Erin, Fiddle, and Vlad. Vlad stabbed again. He couldn't break free. His lifeblood was being drained by the mouth.Alia pulled Vlad free of the creature. Darian moved forward with his mace. He didn't land solidly. Fiddle use his twin weapon fighting technique. He landed with his dagger. Erin swung again. The creature was still surrounded. It lashed out at Erin, Fiddle, Vlad and Darian. It was a very strange fight. The sound and shouts of the combatants were drowned out by magic. But it was a battle of pure muscle. Erin and Vlad were bitten again. Vlad stabbed with his rapier.Alia fired another magical arrow into the mass. Darian swung with his mace. Fiddle struck again with his dagger and just missed with his sword again. Erin landed a blow. The creature continued to fight on. It was weakening finally. It bit Darian and Vlad. Vlad poked into one of the eyes.Alia fired another magical arrow. This one dug in deep. Darian pounded down with his mace. Fiddle slashed with his sword and stabbed with his dagger. The creature stopped moving.</blockquote>
