Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 115686" data-attributes="member: 114">Getting within twenty feet or so, they can see that there are two gnoll heads with a human head atop it. Darra summons a mage hand, and uses it to roll the human head towards them - scattering those shiny beetles which had been crawling all over the heads and making it look as if they were moving.As the head passes by M’ir, suddenly its rotten eyes snap open and it starts screaming and screaming and screaming. Trajan calmly steps forwards and slices it in two, although the sound of the screams echoes through the caverns.“Ah well, someone knows we’re here now”.The passageway to the left leads to a disgusting room, filled with an awful stench and with a huge pile of flesh in the middle of the floor - crudely stripped from bones. The room is also full of the little beetles, and the sound of their munching on the dead flesh is quite disgusting. They decide not to search this room further.The passageway to the right leads to a large cavern, even more moist and with many patches of greenish slime. Investigating further into the room M’ir notices a piece of rock with words carved on recently, by a dagger. It is next to a particularly luscious patch of slime. It is a memorial to one of the “heroes of the bell” - who apparently was eaten alive by that same patch of slime. Backing away, they check out an adjoining room to the cavern - spotting a rotting old desk and some kind of broken copper mechanical man on the floor. They ignore this room and return to the crossroads, just in time to be faced by two zombie troglodytes who had positioned themselves near the corner, and who lurch into the attack!.Azrin unhurriedly raises his holy symbol and cries “Turn, in the name of Asura!” but the zombies ignore him. Trajan cries out “Begone, foul beasts in the name of Asura!”. They carry on swinging. It is left to M’ir and Trajan to fight the zombies by hand, interspersed each round with further cries of “Turn, damn you!” from Azrin. The first two zombies fall, hacked apart, and two more approach but find their attack halted by a skilfully cast “grease” spell from Darra.While Azrin continues with mounting disbelief to attempt to turn this second set of zombies, they are dispatched by Trajan and a combination of Darra’s magic missiles and Syl’s ray of frost. K’tan holds his power in reserve at the moment.Finally, the zombies lie defeated. As they approach a copper bound door at the end of the corridor they hear an aged voice hiss out from beyond it.“Ssssso, do you thinkssss you can come backssss and finishessss the job, eh? To kills the ressst of usss off, eh? Come and killsss me too, if you can. Sssssss”…</blockquote>
