-Dair sends another slingstone flying off into the darkness.
-Periwinkle uses the wand on Xir once more, but his wounds are not completely healed this time.
-Xir's resolve guides his hand as his blade strikes home, drawing a gurgling breath from the orc before it slides off his blade and crumples to the floor.
Silence reigns for a moment, then your heartbeats pound in your ears as you come down from the rush of combat. Looking around more thoroughly, you see that you stand upon a 10' wide ledge that stretches out 60 or 70 feet from the rock wall behind you. Embedded in that wall are several blue crystals glowing feebly in a large circle. There are faint wisps of blue smoke flowing between the crystals along the surface of the stone. Somewhere above you is a rocky ceiling, though you can't see it in this light. Looking down from the ledge, you see a rocky floor 15 or 20 feet below the level you stand on. At the far end of the span away from the crystals the path goes into another rock face turning it into a tunnel some 10 to 15 feet tall and wide.
