Re: The Test of the Faithful - 1
Kahan sets about bandaging himself and Shae. (+2 hp each.)
Meanwhile, Borimer searches around the skeletons for the beetle. It is quick, but his reflexes are quicker, and he stabs it through its head. Surprisingly, the gold and black beetle sends lightning-like pulses when hit, which travel up the sword to Borimer's hand, shocking him. Borimer lurches back in pain, and the beetle goes still. (2 hp dmg.)
About this time, you hear a commotion from your semi-comical colleagues down the way, as if they are talking between two different rooms. You hear Fingas say, "What if I push it?"
"No," Batruss replies, "don't."
Fingas says, "I already did."
"What in the Nine Hells is that!" Fingas then cries out in an alarmed voice.
Then you hear Batruss yell, "Run!"
A moment later, you see their light from far down the hall move from left to right (east to west). You can't really see them, just the flow of their light in the distance.
"What now?" Fingas yells.
"I don't know."
In alarm, Fingas cries out, "JUMP!!!"
You hear a muffled scream as one of them descends. Then the hall is quiet...and dark.
