Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eccles" data-source="post: 3159487" data-attributes="member: 5675">…A positively enormous chitin-plated silverback gorilla materialised in the room right next to me. The thing was titanic, a full 11 feet to the shoulder and hulking with muscle. One colossal arm reached around and nearly twisted my head off in a single blow. Niccoli turned to face the beast, his face contorting into a rictus of horror, as he cast a spell at it – the beast’s eyes went milky as it was blinded. Morgan then made for the door to the room but was simply not fast enough. He took three steps before one of the dire ape’s colossal arms stretched out, grabbed him around the torso and slammed his head repeatedly against the doorframe. Morgan fell to the floor, and didn’t move. Across the other side of the main room, things went from bad to worse as Niccoli was blinded in turn by the enemy wizard.I crept out, ducking under the ape’s huge arms and snagging Morgan’s spellbook on the way. As I moved, my ribs felt like they were afire. I could see Torvig and Flynn finally take down one of the tieflings between them, but that wasn’t a lot to celebrate.I then turned to a new noise. The cleric was chanting again. I heard a colossal ‘BANG’ noise, and then all went dark..oOo.I awoke. It was dark, and my back was to the stone floor. Something was being poured into my throat, and I could see Flynn’s face suddenly lurch out of the gloom, smiling grimly at me. I sat up, wiping blood out of my clogged ears and looked around me. Flynn was horrifically injured, as was Niccoli, who was just finishing off a potion of his own. Behind me, Torvig and Morgan were prone and unmoving. 2 of my oldest friends lay dead.</blockquote>
