Message: <blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 6407862" data-attributes="member: 1465">Bartleby tries to rip the scroll apart by sheer strength, but encounters an unsual resistance from it. The scroll looks and feels like regular heavy paper, but responds with uncanny elasticity to physical exertion. The druid pulls as strong as he can, but still falls short of ripping it.After a short time, Sulannus walks up to his side and the dwarf gently let her take the scroll. She carefully raises the flame of the torch to ignite it, and the fire slowly and silently catches. The scroll begins to burn at an edge, first slowly, then suddenly it bursts in a flash of light and disintegrates into a small cloud of sulphur. Nobody is harmed by the small conflagration, except for the uneasy feeling given by the sudden flash, which for a fraction of second illuminates the wall paintings in all their horrid glory.A few seconds later, the three giant centipedes swell into a larger size, and are finally transformed back into their original forms. The curse is broken!You can now see that one of them, the one who's been speaking with Bartleby recently is actually a halfling. The other two are humans, one is a short stocky bearded lad that could almost be mistaken for a tall dwarf, the second is a skinny youngster with spiky hair and noticeably protruding teeth. And they are still fighting. In fact, they are grappling on the floor, pulling each other's hair or beard and biting, as if they hadn't even noticed they aren't centipedes anymore.</blockquote>
