(con't)The bolt arced overhead as Milo threw himself to the slimy stones of the corridor.  “Everybody down!”  He screamed as another one bounced off the wall somewhere above and behind him.  “Ladinya, get a light spell down there, ASAP.”Kit crawled up behind him, crossbow in hand.  “Ladinya’s down.”Milo looked behind, where Nikki was crouched over Ladinya slumped body, praying to Ehlonna.  She turned towards, a black bolt grasped in her hand.  “Poisoned, looks like the standard unconsciousness poison.  She won’t be out of it for at least a minute.”“Crap, we need magical firepower right now.”  Milo cursed.“I think I can handle that.”  Kit pulled a slender stick out of her sleeve.  “Wand of Magic Missile.  Ladinya left it back at Mrs. Olina’s house.  If Nikki can get a light spell down there, I’ll fry whoever pops up.”In answer, Nikki cast a light spell on the bolt loaded in her crossbow and fired it down the corridor.  The small pool of light sailed down, finally hitting a wall 100 feet away and dropping behind a table where a pair of drow were sheltering.  Kit waved the wand and sent a barrage of Magic Missiles down the corridor.  The party had enough time to see one of the drow drop before the other one panicked and cast a globe of darkness in the corridor.Milo stood up, checking the positions of his axes.  “I’m going through that darkness, when I come out on the other side, that elf is going to be very sorry.  Let’s move.”“What about the poison.”  Nikki asked.“I’ll take my chances.  Besides, if I can get close enough, I can settle him for good.”  He pulled out  an ax, testing the edge on his finger tip before starting down the corridor at a silent jog.  Kit hesitated a moment and then followed.“Suicidal halfling moron.”  Nikki mumbled under her breath as she hefted Ladinya’s body and followed them.The slowed as they entered the area of the darkness spell, Nikki gently dropping Ladinya’s body to the floor and grabbing her mace.  Seconds later Milo exited first, with 30’ between him and the surprised drow.   The last thing the drow saw was a very angry halfling and very precisely aimed throwing axe.  Kit exited the darkness, followed closely by Nikki.“I really wish you didn’t have to kill them all.” Nikki said, surveying the drow with an axe buried between its eyes.  “I mean, can’t I have a little fun once in a while.”Milo looked up from where he was pulling the axe out of the drow’s skull.  “Okay, next time, you get to lead.  Deal?”“Deal.”Suddenly a burst of screams from within the darkness startled them all.  “I’m blind!  Gods almighty, they blinded me!”“It’s okay, Ladinya, you’re in a darkness spell.”  Nikki consoled.  “Just move towards the sound of my voice.  This way, over here, come on, there you go.”Ladinya stumbled out of the wall of darkness with her hands held in front of her, eyes blinking against the light.  “What the hell happened?  I thought I bit the big one.”“We were fighting drow and they hit you with unconsciousness poison.” Nikki explained.  “We managed to take them out, but not before they dropped a darkness globe in this area.”Kit came back from around the corner and held a finger up to her lips.  She padded over to the party and whispered.  “Drow behind a door around that corner, sounds like 3 or 4 of them talking. What do we do.”“Excellent, we do a stealth infiltration.  Kit picks the lock, Ladinya hits them with a lightening bolt, and I mop up the survivors.  Plain vanilla assault, take out in seconds.” Milo plotted, he looked over a Nikki, who was pouting, and suddenly revised his plan.  “Damn, then we go for a smash and fry.  Nikki, you bash the door in and go right, engage the nearest drow, Ladinya, lightening as soon as Nikki clears the door, I move in to the left and attack anybody hiding that way while Kit follows closely and back stabs anybody who she can reach.  Problems? No.  Then lets go.”</blockquote>
