a volley of nine come streaking in and slam into Bink.  He winces at the pain and his altitude sags slightly as he concentrates to stay conscious.Eltharion’s sylvan scimitar cleaves through another two guards, and with that opening, he uses his slippers of spider climb to climb up the wall behind him.  He gets to the top and charges straight at one of the wizards.Ogrim struggles to break free of the five guards, but they hold on tight, not letting him bring his axe to bear.Bink spots the Dungeon Master running off into an alleyway.“I’m going after him!” Bink yells.  He casts cure moderate wounds on himself and flies after the Dungeon Master.  He catches up pretty quickly.Eltharion dices up one of the wizards in short order; three fast blades across the chest of the flailing wizard sends him down.  He stalks toward another.  Both take to the air and start flying away.“Good riddance!” Eltharion starts to climb back down the wall to help Ogrim.  Ogrim finally pushes himself free, but is still quite surrounded.Bink casts an acid arrow down at the Dungeon Master.  It strikes him in the back and he collapses, writing in burning agony, the acid melting through his armor, skin, flesh and bone.  Bink flies back to the battlefield.“Can you get him out?” Eltharion yells up to Bink as he sees him approach.  “I’ll try…” Bink flies down and casts fly on Ogrim, who takes to the air.  Several guards try to grab his legs, but he just kicks them off easily.  They both pick up Eltharion and fly toward castle Brunswick.“Adlai had better have a pretty good explaination for all this,” Bink says.  Everyone nods as they approach the castle.Will Adlai have a pretty good explaination for this?  Will it be an ‘Okay’ explaination?  Where did Senman, Misani and Damaré run off to?  This and more, next update.</blockquote>
