The glowing light on his shield flickered out after a few feet, plunging the entire group into darkness. A few moments later and the rest of the group heard a harsh crash from within the pit, then silence.A tense moment paused, then soft dwarven cursing could be heard from within the darkness. Will let out a breath he did not even realize he had been holding and shook his head in wonder. A soft click of stone and metal created a small spark and light soon flared to life within a lantern that Tanerus had produced."Are you alright?!" Amador called down the pit. They could see that the second pit and the first pit were seperated by a thin wall. Tanerus shook his head, "Clever, put one obvious pit, then a concealed pit. Jump over one, you land on the other..." The small halfling set the lantern down and ran back then forward, leaping over the first pit at an angle. He landed and waited, but the floor held beneath him. Amador pulled out a length of rope then tossed one end to Tanerus. Tanerus quickly lowered himself down, but still was not able to reach Durgaden. The fall had been a good eighty feet. Luckily Durgaden had his own rope. He tossed the coils up to Tanerus and the halfling quickly tied the second rope to the first and scurried back up. Durgaden followed, a heck of a lot slower, but arriving just as safe at the top.Will had concentrated toward the back of the party. He kept looking at the gaping hole in the corridor. The opening led to the Underdark, and he was not about to let the group be attacked from the rear.His fears found shape in the form of a vicious hag like creature that flung an arm around the corner and summoned several small globes of energy. Streaking out at Will, they slammed home, burning him in several places. Will cursed and flung himself to one side, able to fully see the hag now. He summoned up a blast of cold, sending the cone shaped spell spitting ice and cold down the side passage, blasting over the hag.It did not seem to harm her at all. She cackled and flung herself at Will, grabbing at him. Amador stepped into the way, slamming his shield against the hag and slicing with his enchanted sword. His triumph at a well placed hit turned into horror as his blade just skipped off her leathery hide, failing to hurt her at all. Tanerus stepped aside as he saw Durgaden getting ready to leap back across the original pit, wanting to come to the aid of his companions. The halfling gasped as the dwarf stumbled when he planted for the jump. He bit his lip and winced, looking away, not wanting to see the dwarf fall down another pit.But luck was with the dwarf. A strange sort of luck though it was. He stretched out, hoping to catch the edge with his fingers and pull himself up. Only instead he landed face first on the floor that was actually were the pit appeared to be. The first pit had been an illusion the whole time. Durgaden cursed loudly, rolled to his feet and moved to help Will and Amador. The companions surrounded the hag, slashing, hacking, and smashing at her with everything they had. She just did not seem to be hurt by much of it. Durgaden tossed aside his shield and wielded the minotaur's warhammer with two hands and slammed it home again and again, but it barely seemed to do anything. The hag on the other hand was a flurry of activity, slashing, grabbing and biting at the companions. Once she had successfully bitten any one of them, she seemed to lose interest and would latch onto another companion member. Will and Amador were having a hard time against the hag as well. A lightning bolt had hurt her some, but magic missiles had bled off of her harmlessly, and Amador's attempt to dismiss her by dispelling her connection with this plane had no effect as well. Slowly they oculd tell that their pricks and nicks where starting to have an effect. Tanerus kept slicing at her, his normally devistatingly accurate blows would barely nick through her tough hide. But finally the hag slowed and switched tactics. She shot a ray at Durgaden, but it seemed to harmlessly bleed off of him. Finally the hag sunk to her knees and collapsed to the ground. The entire group jumped atop her unconscious form hacking and slashing and beating it till they were sure she was not ever getting back up.Durgaden shook his head in amazement. "I've never had such a hard a time hurting something as that!"Amador nodded, "She was tough, but we got her."Tanerus frowned, "Hopefully we won't have to face anything that hard to hurt again anytime soon..." If only the halfling had been correct...</blockquote>
