*Zykovian, Grim, Ellimon, Guran, and Antiphia start penetrating down deep into the escapeway. Ellimon breaks out the scentbreaking herbs before you go in, just to hide your trail a little more. You descent downward at a fairly slow pace, as it is fairly steep, and it takes you about a half hour to get to a large boulder at the end. This just seems to be a big rock in the way, nothing fancy, and it takes all of you nearly breaking your back to move it.*
*When you shift it enough to squeeze out, Zykovian you find yourself in one of the played-out mithril mine shafts. Grim, from your studying of the maps around here, by all accounts the main attack should be going on in the tunnels three up, four over, and two down. Straight down.*
~~~
*Eleth watches the dragonkin carefully, and looses a single arrow. It goes right through the dragonkin's throat, and he topples over dead.*
*Zass'sk you see your last foe fall and turn your attention back to the cavern. The one that had been heading toward Dessa is now amongst the large pile of dust that the beholder is currently making in the middle of the room; employing his eye rays to get the web out of the way. However, the dragonkin that Sekyen had she is just now pulling her tentacles from. They had been imbedded in his head, and you can see the gleam of blood on her tentacles. She has eaten his brain.*
*Eleth, the lizardman you aided is currently half-hidden in the shadows beyond the dragon's corpse.*
[OOC - Eleth hit a high AC for a ridiculous amount of damage, and that's all there is to it.]
~~~
*Gortag doesn't even deign to answer the arrogant half-dragon and instead lets his axe speak for him. Two mighty swings crush deeply into the half-dragon's body and the blood flows thickly.*
"You buggering swine!" he curses, and delivers two more cuts to your side. The dragonkin's axes bang ineffectually off your armor, while at the other end of the hall, Renea-as-a-lion finishes the job on both of the remaining dragonkin. Her muzzle wet with blood, she turns to help you.*
*Down the hall Alyshia carefully sights and looses her acid arrow, striking the half-dragon in the back. He twists to look at you and snarls fearfully.*
"Time to even the odds," Kilvash says cheerfully, and draws her bastard sword while running. Dashing up behind him, she slashes across the bubbling acid scar that Alyshia's spell is leaving.
[OOC - Gortag hits a 39, a 22, and a 31 (unconfirmed crit) hitting twice for 48 points of damage. The half-dragon hits you twice for 26 points of damage. The dragonkin all miss. Renea finishes eviscerating the remaining dragonkin and is running to your defense. Alyshia hits the half dragon, causing 4 points of acid damage. Kilvash charges and hits him with a 28 for 12 points of damage.]

*Grim asks his companions "Shall we go to aid the main attack, or make our escape now, and hope the others have the sense to retreat before too much can be brought against them?"*

*As he turns to attack the last enemy after closing his wounds, Zass'sk sees a perfectly placed arrow cut through his foe.*
That one knows to hit them where it hurts the most. Battle is won, another dragon dead.
*The battered lizardman makes his way back to the beholder and Sekyen, looking back in the shadows once more, but failing to notice anything.*
"We had unexpected help," he states simply pointing at the corpses impaled by arrows.

Eleth, smiling slightly, fades into sight out of the shadows.
"You fight well lizard man, and bravely. Few would think to take on a dragon without aid."
He turns to the Beholder.
"Are there others who need help? I can backtrack along your path and clear away any other groups that follow you."
As he speaks, he is checking out the equipment on the fallen dragonkin.

"It matters not to me," Zykovian replied, then looked to the others with them. "I will say that I am not currently prepared to deal with Gardanax, in my current condition. However, you did free me and I will help where I can . . . ." Zykovian paused a moment then added thoughtfully, "I would taste this freedom before casting my life aside."
Zykovian looked to Antiphia, trying to get a read on her thoughts. Then he had an idea. "Antiphia, do you have an idea what these stones and other items do?" Zykovian showed her the stones and dorje he recovered from Kelvarix.

*Eleth looks up thoughfully for a moment, and continues to the beholder.*
"If you want, I can play rear-gaurd while you get out with the slaves."
"If you want, I can play rear-gaurd while you get out with the slaves."
*Antiphia looks carefully at the various stone, a nervous expression on her face.*
"This one I know was able to make... him smaller," she says softly, pointing to the small smokey quartz one. "The moonstone could make strange men out of air. And the other," as she looks at the bloodstone one, she withdraws her hands and wraps her arms around her. She's visibly trembling. "That one made you remember pain."
*After a few moments she regains control of herself, and turns to look at the power stones.*
"The diamonds would make him vanish, the star ruby could cause pain in the head, the fire opal caused fire to fall from the sky, the sunstone could make him bend the light, and the opal... could make him control someone else's body," she says the last in a flat monotone.
~~~
*You can stay rear-guard Eleth, but don't go looking for trouble. Grathax will fly above and look both ways. Scale-kin, do you have a name? You're with me. Come on down everyone, we're leaving. And leave the crossbows up there where you found them!" Sekyen says. The slaves begin to lower themselves down from the small cave.
*Eleth bends to examine what the dragonkin had. Since one is stone and two are dust, their items are useless, but the other three had the circling purple ioun stones, the purple-enameled scale mail, the crystaline greatswords, and the heavy repeating crossbows.*
*You recognize the purpose of the ioun stones about the same moment Sekyen hisses frantically at you.*
"Those are Gardanax's eyes, crush them!"

*Zykovian looked at Antiphia throughout her explanation, regretting asking her about them more and more as she went on.*
"I apologize for putting you through that, Antiphia," Zykovian said. "Be strong in the knowledge that these . . . things . . . will be well used to cause pain to your former masters, now."
*Zykovian tried to remember his training, and whether he could utilize all of the various dorjes and stones. Antiphia had done well without any formal training in the area, but Zykovian would need to know specifics befoe he used any of the items . . . except in desperation.*
