[QUOTE="Eccles, post: 3171983, member: 5675"] More spells were cast, restoring us all to full health before Endo produced a scroll which he had brought with him, good for healing curses of all types, including blindness. We then explained patiently to Igmut that we needed to have ‘resty sleepy time’ – he was keen to investigate and hack something brutally to death, and kept idly swinging the huge axe one handed even as he was casting the last of his healing magic. .oOo. The next morning, we prepared to move on the second of the three temple doors. I was lent a marvellous hat of disguise by Endo, who had declared his intention to stay with us until such time as his half brother was avenged. Endo’s interests seemed to follow his brothers, and his talents lay in the same direction. Igmut specialised mostly in the smashing and crashing. Using the hat, and collecting food and drinks from the back of the Hextorite temple, we dressed the others in black robes, and I disguised myself as Theldrick, the cleric who had caused us so much trouble two nights previously. Having recently discovered a talent for thought reading, I stretched my mind in that direction as we banged on the door, hoping to learn any passwords that we might be asked. However, there was no answer, and so we used a stone key we had discovered on Theldrick’s body to open the door and headed into a pitch-black tunnel. Pretending to be delivering excess stores to the Erythnul worshippers, we marched down the winding tunnel into a small cavern filled with stalagmites and stalactites, echoing with the sound of dripping water and the light from our flickering torches. My spell picked up three minds, and I ordered Igmut to carry a heavy crate into the centre of the room and block the far doorway. The hidden figures in the cavern shouted out at us; despite my many linguistic talents, I was unable to understand their shouts (although Endo did bellow a few responses in what he said was ‘Giantish’) before they attacked us. Endo produced a wand from beneath his robes, narrowly missing one of the humanoids which came running at us. The figures were crooked, carrying heavy morningstars as they ran towards us, paying no heed to the lights we were carrying. As they drew closer, we could see that their eyes were entirely glassy and pale – the figures were blind, having lived so long in the darkness that they had developed other senses to compensate. Senses which saw through the hat of disguise, as they flung a javelin at me before out counter-attack. The battle was brief, and Igmut was brutally violent, leaving even Niccoli’s skilful attacks far behind him in two massively powerful slashes of the greataxe. Within seconds, all three of the forms (which Endo identified as ‘Grimlocks’) were dead, and we crept onwards; Flynne leading the way. [/QUOTE]
