Stone panels slid open behind and amidst us, whilst kenku dashed from several directions. One was larger than the others, whilst another chanted briefly as he advanced, directing a narrow dark lance of energy at Niccoli, sapping him of strength and vitality as it struck him. I tried my best to thwart the spellcaster by throwing a spell back at him from almost point-blank range, but was unsuccessful as he shook off the sound-disrupting energies of my magic. Endo, however, had no such problem. His spell shot over my shoulder and struck the kenku sorcerer in the face, and I could see from inches away as his eyes misted and went pearly-white in blindness.For his troubles, Endo was immediately shot twice, and the kenku sorcerer pulled out a feather and muttered to it. It warped and grew, elongating and turning leathery. A huge whip unfurled, and hung in the air between us, before cracking and wrapping me up tightly. Endo’s second spell drove the big kenku wild with paranoia. The large foe raised his hands to his head, dropping his heavy club, and began rolling his eyes around him at unknown enemies. I struggled free of the huge whip, and ducked under its next attack, before flinging myself to one side to evade a further dark beam from the blinded sorcerer. Niccoli stepped across, and cracked the spellcaster across the head with his bastard sword. He groaned once, and fell to the floor dead.Igmut and Niccoli slaughtered the others in a frenzy of destruction, and we searched the foes for anything they might have which could assist us..oOo.In searching, Igmut called out. “Water go through wall! Go through wall! Water most clever!”We moved over to see what he was pointing at, and could see that there was a spillage of water on the floor, which had clearly happened under one of the panels. After a discussion of what to do next, and whether Endo needed to find himself another ‘wife’ from somewhere, Niccoli and Igmut again drew their heavy maces, and began to batter their way through the heavy stone. When it crashed noisily to the floor, we could see a short passageway, at the end of which was a perfectly normal-looking wooden door. Igmut turned the handle, and we moved in..oOo.Beyond was a well-lit passage lined with pale marble. The walls had strange bulges in it, whilst in the centre of the passage were a number of slender columns, each veined with thin strands of dark green. The green lines in the rock seemed to be pulsing and writhing slowly. Endo squinted at the lines, but after a few moments rubbed his head and frowned.“There is some magical effect in those veins. It attacked my mind in some way.”Igmut slapped his hand across his eyes immediately.</blockquote>
