[QUOTE="Eccles, post: 3181680, member: 5675"] By this stage, Niccoli was out of sight on the other side of the rope bridge, clearly in combat with the unseen grimlocks. Towards the far side of the bridge stood Endo, who was aiming a further shot with his wand up beyond Niccoli. Flynne had climbed up to me and was aiming his bow towards the ledge. Igmut finally clambered his way up to my side of the bridge, and I used the recently captured wand to cure him of the worst of his ills. Abandoning an almost impossible shot, Flynne dashed nimbly across the ropes and flung a tanglefoot bag up into the opening. Endo fired another dark beam into the gap, and form his grim smile I could see that he had struck his mark with the wand-spell. Flynne continued his headlock dash and stepped up to join Niccoli on the ledge and the sounds of the sword-fight grew louder. I was left alone on my side, singing songs of encouragement to Igmut as he stepped onto the edge of the bridge causing the ropes to sag alarmingly. Still singing encouragement, and unable to shoot safely now that my friends had reached the ledge, I could see no other way to contribute. I began to paint lipstick onto Endo’s skeleton follower, managing to find a scrap of white material to look like a veil. Strange things come into your mind at the most inappropriate of times… .oOo. On the other side of the chasm, one of the grimlocks sailed out into space, screaming as he fell to earth with a crash. He lay there still. Clearly things were going well in the darkness. The tables would be turning all the faster once Igmut slammed onto the ledge with his longspear in hand. Endo changed his appearance into that of a Halfling before making a wobbly few steps onto the ledge as well. I dashed across the bridge to join them, to see no less than 4 dead grimlocks, with the 5th fleeing at speed down a narrow winding tunnel. We gave chase into a large cavern with three other exits. And one dead grimlock. Niccoli and Igmut wiped down their blades, just in time to ready them again as still more grimlocks poured out of one of the tunnels. Niccoli spun and hacked two of the grimlocks to the floor in a single sweeping blow of his bastard sword, before Flynne materialised out of the shadows to fire an arrow through the throat of a third. Not to be outdone, Igmut hacked down another with his axe. Fearlessly, the two remaining grimlocks pressed forwards. Endo once again changed form, appearing once again as a drow. After I had healed Niccoli with the wand, he stepped forwards, slashing down first one, and then the other of the surviving grimlocks. The battle was over within moments, and we headed off the way the enemies had come. The passageway led to a smelly bedchamber filled with mouldy rags and furs. In there, Igmut carefully checked his prized possession (“The Big Book of Kord”), reading the words laboriously and tracing every one with his finger. Satisfied, he closed the book with a thump, and then grabbed Endo and his skeleton by their scalps. He frowned as he spoke unfamiliar words. “By the words of Kord and the power inves… given to me, I pronounce you man and wife. You are now a lawfully married skeleton.” Thus satisfied that the skeleton was ‘permitted’, Ig picked up his axe again and ceased worrying about the undead in our midst. [/QUOTE]
