He shook his head to clear his thoughts. The sounds of battle came to his ears. A scream and the hiss of scales on scales were the next sounds that registered. He summoned his light. They were in another circular domed chamber. The floor was covered knee deep in raw sewage. The footing was difficult but manageable with a pronounced crunch to each step.  The only other remarkable things about the place were four closed doors and a...Huge dark, snakelike monster with a humanoid head swayed in front of one of the doors. Solafien was already in the thick of battle with the thing. It was purple-green in color, with green-white, glistening eyes and a brownish tail. Tiny tentacles around its mouth sported rings and wands.The creature struck Solafien. Ruen and Sargazzo joined the fray. Sargazzo's let his orcblood take him. He raged. Omar began to play. His mind raced back to the lessons on creatures of this nature. Naga, Serpent, Yuan-ti, ...Banelar. That was it. A Banelar..a magical beast of myth and power. Their wounds wound heal. They were immune to poisons. Poor Solafien would need to know that. They had magic and poison of their own. Poison.Khalil and Kem were out of combat. Kem and Khalil hid behind Zyff. Zyff pulled out a crossbow. His first shot struck the monster. Solafien repositioned. He, Ruen, and Sargazzo had the creature in a triangle. They struck from all sides. The creature hissed. It buried its tail in the sewage. Something happened. Omar quivered but fought off the effects. So did most of the group. Solafien and Kem wavered. Poison. Too late Omar thought. I was too late to warn anyone. Ruen and Sargazzo chopped deeply into the serpentine body. Omar stopped playing and shifted to protect Sargazzo's side with his rapier. Kem scurried up the wall. Khalil pulled his dagger and stood by Zyff still. Zyff fired another bolt this one hit the wall.Solafien ended the game. A couple well placed strokes of his blades finished the creature. He quickly attacked the tail to recover some of the poison. Omar went to his side and cured some of his wounds.The sewage drained away.</blockquote>
