[QUOTE="Iron Chef BBQ, post: 410972, member: 1844"] [b]a meal of stone[/b] Meanwhile, Deke, Kalina and Morgaine have headed into the tunnel. They hear a rumbling as small rocks tumble out of the tunnel walls and form themselves into tiny people. (Like snowmen made of rocks.) One yells, “The blood is in the tunnel. Find it!” The other three set off at a run towards Mirabelle. Morgaine moves to intercept and manages to convince them not to attack. Mirabelle is a cleric of Ankili who created this place and created these creatures. Although they have an extreme hate for her family, they hold off in deference to the god they all serve. Deke, who has lingered behind searching the tunnel, hears a rumbling. Out of the walls tumbles another rock creature, smaller than the others, but encrusted with beautiful gems. Deke is in love. Deke negotiates passage through the tunnels for the group in exchange for some of the party’s gems. It is a great test of valor for Deke to give up his treasures. They move to join Mirabelle and the others. Gem-guy notices Mirabelle’s holy symbol of Ankili. He extends a finger which has a perfect marquis diamond finger nail and scratches Mirabelle’s arm drawing blood. He licks his finger. “They have not taken you yet. If you wish to escape them, you must come with us.” He hands everyone who is there a small rock and indicates that they must swallow it. They call out of the tunnel for the rest of the party. Borin and Lucre are out of sight. They can’t see any trace of Ma or PA. Lucre yells out, “Your boy screamed like a little girl as he fell!” He catches sight of an arm waiving. Borin feels his muscles seize up, but he fights the feeling, and before he can fall or drop Lucre, he has brushed it off. In the distance he can faintly hear Marja calling, “Borin, you have to come back.
