Now though…. I feel there is no time.” Laments the dwarf.  He touches a cracked and broken corner of a building.  “Maybe later…..”“Your granddaughter would enjoy hearing that.   When- I stress- When we get done with this mess- you should go and find her.” Suggests Jasyne.  He then thinks back to his beloved…. Waiting for him in Breland.  He has much to live for also.“Shouldn’t we be like- flying or something?  I feel kinda exposed here.” Says Play looking at all the ambush points that a giant or other creature could use.“To reach where we are going will require going over the water.  I’m saving it for then.” Reasons the dwarf.The quiet gnomes follow up in the rear of the group.  Glyder especially is reserved.  Calli studies his face.  “Is there something ahead of us that you know of?” whispers Calli in concern.“I don’t know.   This is one of the few times I have no experiences about the area.   No one ever talks about the events that happen once we enter this place.   It… unnerves me a little to not know or have some inkling of near future events.” Says the gnome in deep worry.“Do we survive?  Do we get out of this whole mess but just never speak of it?” asks Calli.Before he can answer Jasyne motions for everyone to stop and be quiet.A few seagulls fly over them.  As they Passover a ruin of a building with huge steps the birds falter then fall to the ground.  They look decayed and dried out.“Undead?” suggests Play.“Possibly.”  Dangerous for sure.” Says the archer.Suddenly the gnomes call out as a large gang-green colored serpent rears up from a building near them.  It ripples as if shedding off unseen water and the gnomes pale.  Then the creatures moves in for the kill.  It strikes Calli and she screams out.Jasyne fires away on pure instinct.  The highly magical arrows strike true and large pieces of undead flesh rip free from the creature.  Play fires several arrows also.  Two strike home but a third one veers off and strikes a ruined building with a series of stars and solar winds depicted in the stone work.   Glyder calls out in alarm.  There is little the small pacifist can do but look in horror.  A ray of searing light cuts into and through the creature.The undead Hollow Serpent coils around the gnome and squeezes the life energy out of her- literally.  She screams in pain…. Glyder in outrage.  She barely can do it as her head swims and her lungs scream for more air but she still releases a Great Shout.  It is not as effective as normally but chunks of scales and dried flesh rip free from the fanged face.Jasyne releases his arrows and the creature seems to explode from the inside out as they strike a fairly small place.  Her lifeless body strikes the ground and breaks apart.  A gentle wind carries away some of her dust and remains.   “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” screams the remaining gnome.Calli d’ Sivis is dead.</blockquote>
