[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 7502582, member: 6776887"] Shaken by their encounter with the burning man, the heroes proceeded further down the Elfroad. The fires burned all vegetation without consuming it, but the fires on a particular bush or tree seemed to curiously weaken as they walked by before flaring back to full strength behind them. After a mile, a screaming creature flew out of a burning tree toward Byron. The magma mephit was screaming in Ignan, and two giant bats, their bodies fully engulfed in flames flew after the mephit. The heroes fought the bats while the mephit used Byron as a shield. After a short fight, the bats lay on the ground, the flames still playing over their fallen forms. Then, to everyone's horror, the bats got up again. The heroes quickly smacked the bats down again, and this time they hacked the bats apart for good measure. The flames engulfing the bats died down and were extinguished. D'buld stepped forward to address the mephit. After a brief discussion, he learned that most creatures in the forest were like this: engulfed in flame and refusing to die. It told the heroes about a little bit about the lay of the land, including the forest, a river that was coming up in a few miles, and the village downriver with the annoying singing. Considering its debt paid, the mephit flew off into the burning forest. The heroes came up to a bridge that spanned a 60-foot-deep gorge. The bridge had a section on the right that had broken away. A crashed cart in the gorge below showed the means by which the bridge had become damaged. Further inspection by Zed indicated that there were several weak points on the bridge where it was not structurally sound. D'buld decided to test a section to see what happened when it was stepped on. After a bit of effort, a section of the bridge crumbled away. Unfortunately, the falling stones disturbed hundreds of bats. The bats, like their larger brethren, were on fire. They swarmed the heroes and their companions, Haddin, Crystin, and Torrent. The heroes swatted at the bats but were finding themselves overwhelmed. Haddin succumbed to the bats fiery bites, and Torrent quickly healed him. Dro'mari called for everyone to make their way across the bridge. D'buld sprinted across the bridge, but he missed a weak section of the bridge. The stones gave way, and D'bud slipped through the hole, hitting the far slope on the way down and falling unconscious among the burning brush. With his new comrade fallen to the bottom of the gorge and moments from receiving mortal burns, Byron sprinted across the bridge. Leaning through the new hole, he cast [I]healing word[/I] and revived D'buld. D'buld scrambled up on the crashed cart and put out the flames. The heroes finally managed to kill the bats, smashing any that looked like they were starting to get up again. Nothing seemed to follow the natural order of death here. As the heroes and their companions carefully crossed the bridge. Haddin seemed pensive after having just faced death. [/QUOTE]
