[QUOTE="Rel, post: 362450, member: 99"] Screw it. If I keep waiting around until I feel like I have a nice big chunk of time to write and I'm not tired and I feel at the height of creativity, I'll never get to it. I'm just gonna pound this thing out in chunks whenever I get a few minutes. So pardon me if the updates are small and don't always end at the proper place for a dramatic pause. On the up side, there should be more frequent (if smaller) updates if I do it this way. And I'm not begging for your comments and such, but if you do care to make a remark or two, it might help me get some momentum going again. That is if anybody still cares to read this thing. ("Rel? Yes, that's a name I recall from the times of antiquity. I figured the bastard must have died by now.") Anyhow... [B]Yet Another Nasty Fight While The Party Has Virtually No Spells Or Hit Points (or Rel Vies For Rat Bastard Of The Year)[/B] The party raced toward the entrance to the sanctuary, hoping to escape before they were cornered. Such was not to be however and a pair of undead wolves raced into the evil Temple and engaged Scar before they had a chance to react. The half orc managed to fend off the bites of the undead canines for the moment at least while Raven moved to attack a shadowy figure moving into the temple. The dwarf found himself suddenly face to face with the lithe form of an elf who wasted no time in slashing at him with a sickle. But Raven too held his own for the time being.
