Pinning her to the stone was liquid earth flowing down upon her torso, crushing the remaining breath. The earth spirit Greppa had esconced within her held the near-corpse together as best as it could, and Merideth fought unconsciousness and pain to focus on the healer's art.She wasn't healing herself, naturally. She was ripping into the life force of whatever was pinning her down.It half-released her, jerking its semi-liquid appendage from her like a burned child, and she tried to scramble backward from a half-prone position, looking around as she did so.Bellos was whacking into it with his oversized meat cleaver, and it was batting him back and forth like a rag doll. Arkos was sprinting towards Bellos, Greppa was flying high into the sky. Oh good, she thought, Greppa's gonna blow it all up. Then she focused on healing herself and crawling away.As she was reaching her feet, albeit unsteadily, the ground rocked again, and she fell down. Looking back, she saw that Arkos had bodily lifted the smaller Bellos and was beating his feet away from the monster. Hey, that's a good idea... and then Greppa had landed next to her, touched her, and she was, very suddenly, hundreds of feet away, the space between having parted like mist for Greppa's will.The thing came for them. Flowing over the stone like a wave, it rushed in their direction, its sonerous voice vibrating through the stones... and more elementals began rising from the earth. They flowed slowly, however, and Greppa helped everyone into the air, where they fled for their lives.Miles away, and resting around a hastily constructed camp, Merideth was already grinning. Her's and Bellos' wounds were healed, she was rested, and that... whatever-Greppa-called-it... was in the way of their adventure."A korkanthosuellios; it's not THAT big a word!"Bellos grunted and smiled, Merideth rolled her eyes. It was an earth monster, was what it was.They prepared to go back... and Greppa was running through his arcane contacts list, looking for an archon that spoke earth elemental.** Note: Archons can touch a sentient creature and instantly be able to speak their language; Greppa tried this during the combat and the elemental squashed the poor wee thing when it alighted on the elemental. So he's looking for one that can talk before getting in range.</blockquote>
