Chick rolled his eyes in their sockets and waved to the others to follow, hopping into the hole.

Dukkoti tells you all “I can’t go down into that hole” and shudders “I need to be free, good luck to you all, I’m going over the wall” “Ill go with you.” replies Cal and without waiting for the rest of you to join them, they disappear over the wall.
The tunnel crawlspace is really tight for Blaze and Chtckh, and relatively easy for Plool. Varsk tells you he will watch the rear, but its possible he didn’t enter the hole at all. The rest of you squirm through the dark earth, nearly blind as the light from behind is cut off by the bodies of your companions. After what seems like much too long a tunnel, Blaze feels the crawl space open up. He stands a small ball of fire appears in his hand. You emerge into a strange chamber it looks like the earth has split open into a rough sphere. This is as far as the escaping slaves got. The chamber is filled with desiccated corpses, they look like they have been dead for seasons, but not years. They are all half covered in dirt and small rocks. None of them seem to be wearing more than the loincloth of a slave.
Then a new form rises up from behind a low boulder, wearing black earth covered white robes, and a flowing cloak also coved in black mud. He wears a crystal symbol of a bird around his head.
He looks crushed, one arm smashed and his chest broken. There is no blood left in his decaying body. He holds a spear in one hand, tipped in METAL.
“ I can hear the air in your lungs, and feel the breeze stirred by your movements. It is unbearable. Your breathing and movement must cease at once. Forever!”
He gestures and one of the dead slaves is pushed to his feet by the rocks and earth, its eyes empty and lifeless as its head turns towards you.

“Ugh,” Plool's face twisted into a grimace. “Nothing worse than bad meat.”
Plool darts in next to the dead slave, and chops destructively into it with his axe! Then he follows up with a swift kick.
“ 'Cept maybe when it's trying to kill you!”

From his time in the arena, Blaze has learned to seize an opportunity, and therefore he wastes no time when the dry, dead-looking creature emerges and starts talking The genasi spreads out his fingers in front of him and the small flame that was in his hand roars from him towards the robed figure over ten feet away.
"Great speech," the genasi says dryly as the warmth dies down again, and the former gladiator grabs his bone club and lazily moves up to his opponent.

Chtckh'Chtckh scuttled back to stay away from the flames, and he passed his bow from his lower hands to his upper and fired an arrow at the robed figure that pierced the wrist of the hand that held the spear.

Plool delivers a devastating blow that practically cuts the dead slave in two, and his secondary blow is just enough to topple it. But the dirt and gravel draw the things abused flesh back together. And it strikes back at him clumsily, not even getting close to the nimble fighter.
Chtckh'Chtckh ‘s arrow cuts muscle and tendons, sending the spear tumbling to the ground, but his arm looks less bad than you expected.
Blazes fire burns the dead man’s dry flesh, roaring up briefly before going out.
The priest mutters and invocation “Darkest earth smite my enemies” – and his uninjured hand shines with black energy; and he reaches out for Blaze, who just barely dodges out of the way. His hand continues to shine.
