Athan, Arkos and Kyliados all hurled secondary spears into the monster, then pulled their primary spears and moved in. Greppa's flame servant lept onto the plant-like fibres and tried to burn them... but while the fibres retreated from the heat, did not burn well.And within moments, the holes and rents from the spears, as grievous looking as they were, began to seal. As it began to heal, two tendrils grabbed Greppa and pulled him into the maw. He screamed, then went limp... both spell casters were paralyzed and the stomach acids began to go to work.Which is a far cry from helpless, at least for these two in particular. Greppa had long since learned the lesson of being tied up, knocked over the head, gagged and poisoned... and had mastered one spell that he could cast with merest thought. Three long, lean shadow servants pulled themselves out of the darkness around him and attacked the monstrous creature, withering its fibres and rending its structure.As for Merideth... she was a healer. After healing herself enough to survive the acids, she simply cut loose with the most powerful inflict she could, damaging the very life force of the groundmouth. It shuddered where it touched her, and she got some grim satisfaction out of the fact that she wasn't tired - she was going to take it with her.The fight lasted for several more seconds before it was subdued into a vegetative state approximating unconsciousness, and the three warriors pulled the badly acid-burned casters out of its mouth. Merideth began healing immediately, but Greppa had to suffer silently until she could move... and even then, the backs of his hands, exposed after he covered his face, bore scar patterns similar to shattered glass.When Merideth noticed that the creature was healing itself, she screamed in frustration and began kicking it. The others chuckled and prepared to leave the area, until Greppa noticed that where Merideth had kicked it, the bruises remained."Spear butts!""What?""Spear butts! Use it like a quarterstaff! Bruises don't heal!"It was short work thereafter, and they beat the poor, unconscious thing until it stopped healing entirely. Perhaps they had damaged the local ecology, and perhaps not. But they were damned if this thing was going to wander anywhere near a city and live.When they were safe in Aglaonis, Greppa purchased a few sheets of paper and wrote down everything he'd observed about the groundmouth... others would need to know what it was, and how to kill it.Then he began looking for maps to the mine.</blockquote>
