[QUOTE="DoctorB, post: 139482, member: 903"] Slowly, the Champions shoved the 4500-pound giant’s body toward the towering wall of fire and the edge of the pit of darkness below. Onyx continued to concentrate, holding up the wall against the drow leaders they thought would be waiting for them on the other side. Cobbe, Toiva, and Liana had been prepared with delay poison spells by Joy against the presumed spider poison awaiting them. Finally, Galena set the giant’s remains on fire and they dropped the heavy weight in. Everyone stood around the edge with missile weapons ready to shoot the “god” as it came to investigate. The body caught in a web some distance below the lip of the pit. The vast bulk of a spider bigger than any creature the Champions had ever seen moved surprisingly quickly into view. It investigated the dead giant and started to move back along its web. Everyone fired their missile weapons, but as none of them were magical, the projectiles merely bounced harmlessly off. The flaming body quickly set fire to the nearby webs and burned a hole in the center of the spider’s creation. Sighing, Cobbe pulled out his hundred feet of knotted rope and dropped it in. No one knew how deep the pit was, but he hoped it would not extend beyond his rope. The Paladin lowered himself over the edge and began climbing down. Toiva followed quickly and then Liana. The opening went down about ten feet and then opened into a vast cavern. The spider-god remained out of sight. Just as the rogue climbed down past the edge of the pit the beast revealed itself. Scuttling along the ceiling of the pit, it gathered darkness at its pincers and bit her, channeling evil power into the blow. Nearly killed instantly by the power of evil in the attack, Liana desperately tried to hold onto consciousness. She suddenly realized she had been thrown from the rope and fell away toward the darkness. Without hesitation, Arin, watching from above, dove into the pit after her. As the others gawked at his foolishness in throwing himself to his likely death below, they saw something strange. As he fell, Arin’s form began to melt and shift. Wings sprung from his back as his body lengthened. He now had four legs and his neck extended as his head melted into a reptilian form. Instead of pale skin and the white robe he had been wearing, he now had scales of blue-gray with a streak of silver white extending behind his head. Sweeping his wings to slow his fall, Arin landed in the web beside the nearly unconscious Liana. Sure she was dead, Liana dimly perceived the bulk of the reptilian beast beside her, its tail wrapped around her where she lay. “Liana!” Joy shouted, jumping up and down in excitement. “Your boyfriend’s a DRAGON!” [/QUOTE]
