Tem rounded the tunnel, and fell straight down the pit, onto Coren "Oh slkjhasdjfhg..." Tem blinked a few times, letting his darkvision accustom itself to the light. He got up off Coren, and noticed the gaping hole in the wall. "Hey, ow, what happened? I heard an explosion, and fell down this hole. If anything, there should be some form of life here somewhere... The underdark is actually pretty big."

"Marcus?" Eruantian addressed the Lizard man "What was that noise? Where did everyone go? Has anyone found Aurieul?"

<Edited for spelling>

"I dunno, but I smell an Umber Hulk somewhere!"

Tem looked around. "Okay, my darkvision only goes out to 60 feet. Why did this tunnel break? And what Umber Hulk?"

<RIP Auriul (hope I got it right) and goodbye Jone's Girl.

And Tem, where are you? With Coren or Eruantian? They arn't in the same place.>

Prosper had felt the ground shaking, and was about to dive when the floor collapsed. He screamed, expecting to hit the stone floor at any second. Only he didn't, and found himself screaming as he floated in midair above a pit where the rest of the party had been. Suddenly an enormous Umber-Hulk climbed out of the hole. Prosper screamed again, knowing that this was most likely the end, but stoped as soon as the monster had emerged, it was looking right at him, but took no notice of him, instead charging in an entirely different direction down the tunnel, collapsing it behind itself. From far away, Prosper thought, just thought, that he heard a faint scream.
Looking at the way he was suspended in midair, and recalling the lack of intrest in him the Umber Hulk had took in him, Prosper realized that either everything in the past minute had had Drowish magic connected to it, or the amulet did more than the elves had let on.
The boy looked down at the rest of the party. Of those who had been with him, Corren was alright, as was Taryn. But Acedia looked in bad shape, and Captain Sealem and his swordsman looked like they had passed out. The two other swordsmen were nowhere to be found, although Prosper thought he saw a boot from under a pile of rocks.
What to do now? He was suspended above a pit in which his freinds (Friends? Is that what they were now? Yes. Yes they were. He'd been though too much with them for them to not be.) were, badly injured at that, with no idea of how to get down.
Try thinking. The idea sprang to the young rouges head. So he thought; down.
<Does it work? Will Propser be able to help his friends?? ASK THE GM!!!!>

As Prosper thought "Down", the Amulet glowed brighter and he was gently lowered into the pit. As soon as his feet touched the floor, the amulet powered down.

Meanwhile, in the pit, Maria came to her senses. She was in bad shape, with a broken leg and some fractured ribs. She was coughing up blood. She mumbled: "Tyr, I need your power...." as she laid hands on herself. A small flash of blue light came from her hands, and suddenly her ribs were mended. However, her leg was still broken and she had one killer headache. She was in a lot of pain.

Up top, Maxwell came to the edge of the pit, with Farnham, Marcus, Horin, and the rest right behind him. "Holy crow...." He couldn't see much though all the dust, so he leaned over the edge a bit and shouted down: "Hello! Can anyone hear me down there?"

Just then, Drek's bird Goldwing flew into the hole and landed by the unconscious form of Drek, who's legs were enveloped in a pile of loose gravel and sand. The bird started hopping around on the ground and peeping excitedly, rubbing her face against Drek and them peeing loudly again. He didn't wake up.

Horin said: "Get ye rope, lads. This be a medical emergency, right and true. I need ye to lower me into yon pit. Get all ye rope, tie it end-to-end. Now, tie it off like this, aye, round me waist like so... aye that's the way. Alright, now I take this end and you all take the other end and anchor it firm. I'm afraid that I'll be needing lots of supplies from me wagon, so as soon as I'm down, one of you go get it. It's parked outside. Alright... now get a good grip on the rope, I'm going over the edge. Man Coming Down!"

"Narluin" Eruantian addressed the ring in an attempted(though somewhat failed) commanding tone "Can you detect life?"

The ring replied: "Requested function is currently available."

_________________

"That's good" Eruantian said "It can answer questions aside from the lie detector. Can you locate Aurieul?"

The ring replied: "Negative, no humanoid form fitting her specifications is currently within detection range. Available evidence is insufficient to be able to make a positive determination as to her whereabouts."

Chezzo said: "Well, at least that means it can't find her dead body. If she was dead it it could find her, it would have said so. So, she might still be alive. That's good, right guys?"

Micheal said: "It's no wonder it can't detect her. Magic forces generally have a hard time seeing through rock. It's one of the weaknesses of magic that us thamulatogical magic-types don't like to admit. Seeing around corners is one thing, but seeing through rock... not so easy. It's the same reason my astral projection doesn't let me pass though rocks. It's that whole Gaiaian thing. But... from the residual aura resonance I can see, she was here less than an hour ago. Unless I miss my guess, she went through this collapsed tunnel, here. And so did an Umber-Hulk... a big one. That's what did all this damage to the mine shaft. Damm, I don't have any digging spells.... I mean, I could blast it, but that'd probably bring the whole place down. Hrm..."

Maxwell called down to Horin: "OK, me an Farnham are gonna go get your waggon now, Horin. We'll be right back Hang in there, guys. Help is on the way."

"I wonder... Hey, where's Quinn? I need another psychic for this. In the mean time..." said Tem. He fired a psibolt at the collapsed wall, but it just pinged of, striking Tem straight between the eyes, knocking him over. "Well," said Tem, without getting up,"It appears to be blocked by a force we psions call tpol. It was made by the gods to prevent our powers from being too cheap. For instance, I couldn't read a warlord's mind to immediately kill him, as tpol would protect him. Apparently something is happening that can't be interfered with. And Eru, say anything about that blasted ring and I'll wring your neck."<for those who are on the slow side, tpol is an anagram of plot>

Much preferring his neck they way it was, Eruantian said nothing.

{ ten10, if you'd stop making Tem omnipresent, that would be great.

he can't address people that are in a different location, it just makes him look silly.

sorry if i come off as rude...just a pet peeve, y'know? }

Acedia made the mistake of attempting to move and choked out a pitiful sob of pain. This got Taryn's attention. The tall spectre, glowing faintly in the dearth of light, turned and looked down at her broken friend.

"Oohh...I'd forgotten how fragile you humans are. I don't suppose I ought to try and float you anywhere," she murmured, more to herself than to Acedia, though she was still clearly audible. The response from the shifter was a decidedly ambiguous moan of pain, followed by a gurgling cough.

Marcus served as a scaly anchor for the Dwarf, standing firm and strong as Horin climbed down.

Hey, it worked!
Prosper floated down, and landed on his feet. Just then the glow from the amulet he had seen by faded out, and he was left in complete darkness.
"Anyone got a light?" he asked. He then heard voices up above, calling down.
"Maxwell?" the boy called back. "It's Prosper. Most of us are down here. Two elves are dead. We never found Auriul. Sealem, Drek and the other elven swordsman are unconcious. Taryn is ok, but Acedia is pretty beat up. I'm fine. That was all I was able to see before my light went out." He then adressed everybody else in the pit.
"Are those who I didn't mention all right?" He realized with a start how commanding and sure his voice sounded. It was a far cry from the timid voice he was used to hearing. Prosper wondered what had begun to happen to him.
The sounds of Horrin gearing up to come down to help reached his ears.

Quinn comes upon at long last, the main group. "Right here," He telepathed to Tem, "Must have taken a wrong turn back aways."

'Okay, with our combined power I believe we can overcome the tpol on this pile of rocks. once Horin lowers the rope, come down.' telepathied Tem. He believed that Auriel was doomed anyways, however, the tunnel might lead to a way out of here.

<Just in case you don't recall, Sarge said that there was no way to go through the tunnel that the Umber-Hulk collapsed. And if your characters in the pit, and Qinn is above, how do you even know it exists?>

<OOC> Perhaps he attempted to teleport and accidentally created more than one of himself. The psychic link between the multiple Tem's is fooling them into thinking the multiple locations are just one place. In effect, he's everywhere at once. However, it would be a most unfortunate circumstance if the three Tems' found each other: such a paradox in Tems' multi-mind might cause the Ethereal Plane to implode. </OOC>

<okay, look: I need an accurate description of where the crap everything is. You guys repeatedly fail to do that. If it's just me that notices this, I can do... something about it. In fact I will.> Suddenly, a largish monkey appeared and said, "I am a chronomancer. Tem has broken reality. I am fixing it." Just then, the monkey manipulated time so that the last few things Tem just said had never happened. "What were we talking about?" asked Tem.

"What the heck happened!?!" yelled Coren to anybody who would answer. One second every thing's fine and dandy and then... bad things, bad things. Reminds me of when I was drafted. I was only ten and it seems like yesterday...

*KNOCK**KNOCK*
"Who is it?" yelled a catman in a druid's robe, a druid. He seemed to be in an old castle or tower of some sort. You could tell nature had "claimed" it because sun shined through the roof and a tree branched up. Vines were all along the inside wall. A real place of Balance.
"This is the Sheriff Braxton! There's war! The Long Claw have revolted, and they've brung some of their savage friends from the south to fight too! Any able bodied male 10 and up has to fight!
A young Coren in a miniature druid outfit looked at the door. He was ten... The thought of adventure always enticed him though. He wasn't made out to be a druid anyhow. The druid catman opened the door...

Later that day they were in the nearest village. People always stared at him. His eyes were blue, the eyes of royalty. Not green like most Tabby's, but blue like the Felix family of the Persials. The royal family. He walked to a group of men and boys all suited in their best armor (more often than not: hard leather) with any weapon they had. Someone threw him a soft leather vest and a long knife.Then some shaman in the back cast some good luck spells and they went of north. North toward the capitol...
"Can anyone help me with my ear? I don't take pain well!" said Coren in his ticked-off voice. Not made, just kind of frustrated with what had happened to him.

[OOC] Would there be any way for Coren to get equipped with a shield anytime soon? One much like a heater shield? Any will do though. Maybe the dead elves wouldn't mind giving up their things for a "worthy cause".[/OOC]

<Tem, everyone who was with me fell into the pit. Where I am (I just realized that I never mentioned that I had decended into the pit, only that I had decended). So far all we know about the pit is that it's a really dark hole in the ground, you've already said that you clumsily walked into the hole and landed on Coren (or that's what I remember). Everyone else is at the mouth of the pit, except Horrin, who is coming down on a rope. As far as I know, they're all on one side, and on the other is a collapsed tunnel. Again, as far as I know there is know way to the other side. Let's say that your in the pit with us.>
Prosper heard Coren yell, and, making his way to him on his hands and knees, said back; "You'll be fine, Horrin's coming. An Umber Hulk came through the floor and we all fell into the pit." Prosper had forgotten that Corrin, being the newbie in the group, had not fought the Umber Hulks in Targos, and might not know what they were.
<By the way, what do you mean by a "heater sheild" West?"

"Okay, thanks for the reply Prosper. I just have never been in this much of a mess before. Not that the war wasn't bad, but I didn't fight much." said Coren.

_________________

<OOC> Well, so much for my stupid idea. </OOC>

*time warps* Eruantian, much preferring his neck the way it was, said nothing... Though he had no idea why he suddenly felt so personally threatened...

Horin, who's feet had just touched down on the cavern floor, heard Coren complaining and said: "Those two over there are dying and ye sit there and complain about a bleeding ear? What kind of adventurer are you?"

Scrambling over the floor, with his Dwarven Infravision aiding his sight, Horin hurried over to Captain Sealem. "Ah.. I see Captain Sealem was going for this first-aid kit, but he didn't get to it before he passed out. Time for some healing spells..." Horin cast "Cure Moderate Wounds" twice in a row... once on Captain Sealem, the other on the last remaining Elven Swordsmen, the one that Horin didn't know the name of. Casting two powerful spells like that so close together was a bit of a strain for Horin, and it left him breathing heavily and sweating. "Augch.. there, they've stabalised. No more dying this day, If I can help it. Prosper, take these bandages and this healing potion and give them to Acedia... tell her drink the potion and bandage any remaining wounds. Also tell her that I said she should lay still until I check her out. She may have internal injuries. Coren, see if you can find Drek. That shouldn't be hard, his Bird is probably fussing over him. I'll be done here in a few minutes. Go on, lads."

_________________

Well, at least Acedia was easy to find. She whimpered softly with each breath, and also had a seven-foot-tall bioluminescent woman acting as a beacon and standing over her.

After a short while Taryn took the time to really look at Acedia, to see what injuries were visible. "Dear gods, Acedia," she cried with some surprise, having finally taken a good look at her arm. "Arms are definitely not supposed to bend that way...or in that many places. Fat lot of good that panther talisman does you," she remarked, and was promptly rewarded with a half-mumbled, half-sobbed request to [s]fu[/s] shut up and go away for a while, please.

<Taryn's glowing?? Why didn't you say so??>
Prosper crawled over to Horin and took the bandages and the potion, then crawled over to where a slightly glowing Taryn was standing over a very hurt Acedia.
"Oh, you are in bad shape. Here drink this." the boy said, taking the stopper out of the flask and putting it to the womans lips. "I'll try to find things that can be bandaged on you."
Prosper was not totally sure how to do this without invading her space or hurting her even more, so he just started looking around and pretending that he was doing something.
