[QUOTE="akira1, post: 4434205, member: 64437"] Dr Zhindzhe held his breath as the Cold Lady leaned in and said in a heavy whisper, "They opened the Death Box." "A Death Box!" Dr Zhindzhe exclaimed, "What was in it?" "Evidence of something so evil and unnatural that its very presence in this city is a cause for concern amongst the most powerful on the Continent of Garsis." The Cold Lady said calmly as she leaned back and picked up her glass of wine. "What are you talking about Cold Lady" Dr Zhindzhe stammered, "What was in the box?" "A body of something that was thought exterminated millinea ago." The Cold Lady said acidly as she tossed back her glass of wine and finished it in one gulp. "I get ahead of myself though. These three adventurers had set up traps and their minions throughout this warehouse to assist them in protecting the death box and they caused considerable consternation for the minions I hired to break in to steal this very death box." The Cold Lady said as she leaned in with an intense hard look in her eyes. "Their traps were fairly easily overcome between Fel'Thiz's magic and the brute strength of the Dueregar and Human warrior they swept most of the resistance before them, until Fel'Thiz got surrounded and nearly killed." The Cold Lady said. "Could you elaborate a little on their trap set up, I think it will provide an interesting look at the group dynamics between all of them." Dr Zhindzhe said. With a withering look the Cold Lady said, "Of course Doctor." "The warehouses main entrance was a long hallway that had a single exit off of it. Along one side of the wall they built murder holes and equipped their forces with long spears this was not very effective. They also built a false wall at the end of the hall and built a door in it, which they had barricaded with shafts of wood." The Cold Lady stated. "Impressive.

Once my team was past the 3 goblins after the door, they came upon another hallway where the majority of their forces were located. There were 3 Gnolls and 7 Goblins in this hallway and the human fighter, a mutant with a prehensile tail which wielded a mace charged." The Cold Lady stated. "It seems like he was charging alot." Dr Zhindzhe noted clinically, "Did it ever get him into trouble?" "Oh yes," the Cold Lady replied, "He was cut off from the rest of his party by a portcullis they had installed." "Excellent" Dr Zhindzhe said, and then noticing the withering look on the Cold Lady's face he said, " I am a professional madam and I have a vested interest in the well being of these adventurers." "Make sure you remain impartial in this Doctor." The Cold Lady said sibilantly. "I am enjoying our discourse, I would hate for things to turn ugly." "Indeed Lady, me as well." The Doctor returned coldly. "In any event" the Cold Lady continued, "The human fighter suffered some serious injuries at this point and the Dueregar enlarged himself to large sized while the cleric of Orcant shattered the portcullis with the shatter spell. Fel'Thiz and the shadow halfling then moved into the hallway to back up the human mutant. Fel' thiz fired off a scorching ray at one of the gnolls but he missed."

Dr Zhindzhe said. "So it would seem" The Cold Lady said with a chill little smile. "In any event, the Human and the Dueregar finished off the other 2 gnolls and goblins along with the cleric and the shadow halfling at the other end of the hall. They then took a minute to regroup and drink healing potions." "The end approaches I take it?" Dr Zhindzhe inquired. **********************To Be Continued********************** [/QUOTE]
