It roared in pain and anger, but kept on moving up to close with Torvig. In response, Torvig pulled out his Morningstar and managed to break off one of the tusks as we continued to shoot at the beast. Teeth and tusk scraped along the edge of Torvig’s shield as Flynn managed to sink another arrow into the creature’s eye – again the beast bellowed, but it kept on moving, turning its massive head and sinking its teeth into Torvig’s throat. There was a gout of blood, and the dwarf collapsed to the floor.Behind me, Morgan concluded a brief chant and then fired a rapid crossbow shot. The bold slammed through the roof of the beast’s mouth and sank into the brain with pinpoint accuracy. With a shudder, the creature exhaled and crashed to the floor..oOo.Dashing forwards, I managed to grab Niccoli around the chest, pinning the torn flesh in place and stopping the bleeding, leaving my friend in a colossal pool of blood. Morgan and Niccoli moved in to assist Torvig, whose life was also slipping away rapidly. The two struggled over what to do for some moments, as Torvig’s pulse became weaker and weaker, until Morgan (with a worrying knowledge of the human anatomy) was able to stop the bleeding from the cleric’s throat. We dragged the pair of them back to the winch-platform, and hoisted ourselves up, tying bells to the chain in the centre to warn of anyone climbing up or down. Beneath us, we could see figures moving around the base of the shaft, clutching torches and moving bodies; two figures in heavy armour together with still more of the axe wielding tieflings and a pair of lumbering zombies.We tried our best to rest, barely getting any sleep in the close quarters of the elevator shaft. In the morning, Torvig and Niccoli were still unconscious, until my day’s spells proved just enough to bring the pair of them to life. Torvig then emptied his own repertoire to make himself, Niccoli and Flynn fully healthy.</blockquote>
