Atlas angrily storms to the cellar and finds Catein and Veruzak. " WIZARD! " he yells as he addresses the arcane-user " You will not be treating Ryan as an experiment! He is a living being and should be treated as such " and he takes a moment to calm down "Consider yourself warned "
The large statue moves closer to Veruzak "Now tell me, whats wrong with him?" he demands to know " Why is he in such pain and what is this Bell speaks of, a beast with tentacles?

[sblock=ooc]I keep trying to figure out what the current situation is, but then I get to the bottom of page 9 and something distracts me. So, here's where I think everyone is. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Actually, don't, because I'm moving ahead anyway.

Kent and Bell are outside the cabin with a woman, a giant spider and Lt. Rayn. The latter NPC is screaming, the other two are unconscious.

Atlas, Veruzak, and Catien are down in the cellar with a bunch of smaller spiders in various states of disrepair.[/sblock]

Lt. Rayn only stops screaming when Bell gags him, but not through lack of trying. He also beings convulsing to the best of his ability.

Down in the cellar, the surviving spiders retreat under Veruzak's arcane onslaught, disappearing into cracks in the floor and walls. There are a significant number of unconscious creatures left behind.

[sblock=Also...]If you want to give me a picture to use as your character's token in future battles, send it my way. I also have access to the WotC galleries, so if the picture you like is in a book just tell me where to find it. Alternatively, I'll just do my best to come up with one on my own, although it would certainly be easier if all of you had filled out the fluff section of your character sheets Atriden.[/sblock]

Bell, getting frustrated with trying to hear her companions over the screaming finally pulls out the knife again, cuts a bit of her cloak and gags him.

"Yes. The villagers are being mentally manipulated by something that burrows into one's mind, near the temples. I am speculating the existence of an evil tentacle monster."

When Kent comes out side with the bug, and/or, when Bell finally notices Kent with the bug, she changes her story.

"Or possibly evil psychic phase spiders." She pauses for a moment remembering, finally able to think above the noise. "Veruzak was going to use the Lt. to find the source, but he thought the party should all be together when he did so. . . I ran very hard."
