Do. It.”  The soldier looks down pausing from undoing the rope.   “This is a highly dangerous and powerful explosive mix.   If I throw it you will die.”   The man stares into the rogue’s eyes and backs off.Azzime reaches the top but is struck down by the cleric by a spiritual weapon.  He falls off the edge onto the glass below.    There will be no saving him.The druid uses the confusion to hide above.  The cleric never sees him.   He attempts to break the circle by knocking over a statue.  His failure alerts the cleric of the danger.   The next attempt tumbles one statue but the circle is more for style than function.  Darkness surrounds the druid as the cleric pulls the undead away from Nailo and the halfling.The halfling tries to blast the cleric but hired help or skeletons get in the way.  Nailo attempts to flank them by running along the broken edge and the battle.The druid attempts to grapple with the cleric even as the warlock blasts the crystal skull from his hand.  The special summoned undead below stop and crumple to the ground around the very battered and just made inert (-2 HP) warforged.The skull rolls about being kicked by the struggle above.  The cleric begins to chant and attempts to grab the druid while being held.  The druid loses his grip but doesn’t back away and dies from the Death Touch.  Nailo picks up the skull and runs for the edge.   The cleric is incensed by this and follows.   The warlock blasts him once and makes his fall into glass.Stopping at the edge, Nailo looks for a safe place to jump and does so.  The cleric gets up again to charge after the elf.  He stops at the edge to jump onto the elf but instead is blasted from the edge by the warlock.  Already dead, the cleric falls into the glass shards below.With the clerics death and the skull being moved out of range, the remaining skeletons collapse.  Carefully they retrieve Rutkin and with a healing potion found revive the warforged (+1).  There is little to do with Azzime as he has been sliced into several pieces.It takes several days to get back to Yrlag.  Without a guide they are never certain if they are going the correct way.   On Aryth 12 they arrive and go to see the old woman.</blockquote>
