The inn's common room still hasn't been filled up completely, and there is one table near the front that will take care of the party. The inn's decor is plain. Four stout wooden columns support the ceiling, and a troop of musicians plays upon a stage in the center of the room. You recognize the song when you walk in as being about your exploits in Osto, but the musicians don't seem to recognize any of you. As you walk in a serving wench directs you to a large table. What would you folks have? The special tonight is roast wild goose. It's 2 gold. It's very good. The inn keeper's son, Raki, caught them this morning. We also have lamb, chicken, and steak tonight. All of which are very good.
Gareth Wednesday October 14th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
says "I'll have the goose! Then we'll see about the other three options."
Onrad Wednesday October 14th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
"Make that geese! I'll have the same, Thanks...and some chocolate milk if ya got it."
Teko Wednesday October 14th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
"I believe I'll have some of that goose and a good portion of lamb. Mmm, some roasted apples, too, if you have them and...what sort of wine do you have? And what sort of pies? Do you have goat's milk?"
Jus Wednesday October 14th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
"Just the chicken and some mulled spirits for me. I'll let the other eat us out of our meager coins."
Nonam Wednesday October 14th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
"You may as well make mine goose. And I'll just have whatever your house wine is."
DM Thursday October 15th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
"Okay one lamb, one chicken, and 3 for goose. Perhaps you gents would just like one goose brought, and you may carve your own portions? I believe you will get more meat that way. We do have milk, but I'm afraid that we only have cow milk. We don't keep goats or chocolates on hand for milking purposes. I trust that it will be suitable." She waits for either confirmation of the order or for the rest to order. As she waits you all have a chance to survey the place. The musician, a fair man with flowing golden hair, is very good. Most people in the place are ordinary travelers, but you can spot more than a few locals. For the most part they're near the bar chatting with the merry barkeep. The servers seem to be taking good care of the patrons, and you can only hope yours is as attentive. There are also a few patrons worth noticing: A table nearby of beautiful girls who are staring dreamily at the singer, a pair of dwarves on the other side of the room who have the look of mercenaries, an old man sitting in the center of the room with long tendrils of blue smoke coming from his pipe, and the requisite cloaked figure sitting in the shadows in a corner of the room. The last one seems to have his eye on one of the girls.
Gareth Thursday October 15th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Listening to his rumbling belly he says "Sounds great! Better bring more than one goose though. I'm hungry. By the way, what's your name?"
Kat Thursday October 15th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
"I'd just like a salad."
Nonam Thursday October 15th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Nonam watches the table of girls.
Onrad Thursday October 15th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Onrad watches the sinister figure in the corner and comrade Nonam watch the girls.
Teko Thursday October 15th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
"Cow's milk will do just fine. Bring forth the goodies!" Until the food arrives, Teko watches Onrad watch Nonam watch the girls.
Kat Thursday October 15th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
As Kat sees all the boys looking at all the girls, she begins to feel a little jelous. She looks around for someone to flirt with.
DM Friday October 16th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
The serving girl says that her name is Trillian and returns to the kitchen. In a little bit she returns with the food. The wait was short, and the food is without question the best any of you have had in some time. For those of you who tried the goose this is especially the case. As the evening passes, the place begins to fill up. Nonam has a good time enjoying the girls. They quickly noticed his attention, and they giggle every time his hair changes color. Onrad and Teko have slightly less fun watching the party members, but Onrad does notice that the man in the corner begins paying more attention to Nonam as the night goes on.
Onrad Friday October 16th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
"Uh, Nonam, the girls are not the only manner of creature watching you do the hair dance this evening. Mr. Sinister over there in the corner is watching you very closely and doesn't seem to be liking something about what he's seeing. Be careful.
Gareth Friday October 16th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
eats with gusto. He tries everything and eats his fill. In fact he even looks like he loosens up a bit - but not too much. He constantly scans the room and even more so as more people come in. He looks at the others and decides to sit for a while before retiring for the night.
Kat Friday October 16th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Kat finds a dark corner and casts invisability upon herself as that is how she feels lately, she then comes back to the table and finishes her salad.
The Cloaked Figure Saturday October 17th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
The Cloaked Figure approaches the table, " What brings all of you here? "
Tiburon Saturday October 17th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
"I could say something smart like: a wagon," says Tiburon," but the truth is we're just traveling thru."
Teko Saturday October 17th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Teko sits back and relaxes after his fine meal. He looks around to see what sorts of characters are showing up.
Jus Saturday October 17th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Deciding to let Nonam and Gareth do the talking, in hopes another bar brawl will shortly ensue, Jus goes to flirt with the girls. He wonders out loud if any of them can compare with Kat's beauty (just loud enough so Kat can here).
DM Sunday October 18th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
[waiting for the appropriate point in the conversation]
Nonam Sunday October 18th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Seeing that strange look in Jus's eyes and eager to avoid a fight, "Well stranger, why don't you join us. I'm Nonam and these are my companions. We're on our way to Tincrow because it was written on the bottom of a chair." He smiles and continues, "What about yourself?"
Gareth Sunday October 18th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
seeing Nonam responds just watches - carefully and eats...
Simon Sunday October 18th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
The cloaked figure extends a hand to shake and says, " I am Simon, local locksmith. I am just here watching my daughter to be sure that her fun does not lead to trouble" (he gestures to one of the girls at the table Jus is approaching) " Work around here is getting scarce, do you think there is any money to be made in this town you are headed to? "
Onrad Sunday October 18th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Onrad jumps into Nonam's conversation with the stranger. "Work? Yuck! We're on vacation." Then he turns to the invisible fork eating the salad and motions to Gareth and softly says, "Hey friend, methinks this place is haunted. Something is trying to eat Kat's salad. Although I did hear that witches tend to melt if they get too much sun. Seen her lately?"
Kat Sunday October 18th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
"Everyones a comidian!!"
Jus Sunday October 18th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
Returning to the party -- disappointed that Nonam and Gareth didn't put their feet in their mouths -- Jus says "It's not the World Serpent Inn, or Daphne's place, but I have to say I like it here." Hearing Kat and seeing her invisibility, Jus chuckles, "I never would've thought you would shy away from competition, Kat!"
Tiburon Sunday October 18th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
Tib continues to eat and listen.
DM Monday October 19th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
The serving girl seeing that Kat has been absent from the table for sometime comes to take her plate. Then she stares in horror as she sees the fork float up. At the same instant, Nonam sneezes and returns to his orcish form for a brief instant. The two events together prove too much for the young innocent, she screams, "DEMONS!" and then does what any normal person would do when confronted by dark powers... she faints. Of course this doesn't fail to gain attention. The musician stops playing, the girls duck under their table, the dwarves leap up and pull out wicked looking axes, and the old man sitting at the table looks around like someone was referring to him, and the bartender leaps over the bar and calls out, "What's all this about?!?"
DM Monday October 19th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
::chuckle::
Gareth Monday October 19th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
seeing Trillian faint fast as lightning catches her before she falls and gently sets her in a chair. "I'm not sure what's going on. She screamed something about demons and fainted. I hope she's OK. She was doing such a great job."
Simon Monday October 19th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
" Are you guys demons? "
Onrad Monday October 19th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Softly, "Kat, is this the kind of attention you wanted? [sigh] Not me. Last time we were provoked. Although I don't know why the fork is visible. Isn't it considered a part of your hand for this spell. Perhaps, it's because I said I saw it. Then everyone else thought they saw it to. Maybe they did. I Apologize. [Yawn.] I'm off to bed or to get a head start on swinging on some rafters whichever happens first. [slight giggle] Be "seeing" you soon." Onrad begins to head upstairs....slowly making sure his rope and grapple are handy.
Kat Monday October 19th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
Kat sits still and waits to see what other trouble she can cause.
Jus Monday October 19th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
"Demons, no. We've killed some, but are none. We just have some practical jokers in our spellcasting ranks."
Nonam Monday October 19th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
Nonam recovers from his bout of being an orc and says in his most charismatic way. "Good people I assure you all that we're not demons. Rather we are the heroes Three."
DM Tuesday October 20th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
As Nonam finishes the musician strums the guitar in a way signaling a joke, and someone in the crowd yells, "There's more than three of you!" And another screams out, "Of course demons would say that!" And another, "If you aren't demons then why did you attack the girl with your mind powers?!?" The bartender rushes to grab Trillian away from the party. One of the dwarves moves to stand between Onrad and the stairs. He holds up his axe and says in a deep voice, "I don't think that you should be leaving." The old man looks relieved that he isn't the demon and sits back to watch. The other dwarf yells, "Go fetch a priest!" A small boy runs out the door.
Gareth Tuesday October 20th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
gently helps the barkeep with Trillian. He looks to the dwarf and says "Nice axe, I have one just like it. Don't use it just yet though, I haven't finished eating and I'd hate to mess this place up over a silly misunderstanding. I didn't think demons ate food." and with sits back down and eats making sure noone of consequence flanks him.
Simon Tuesday October 20th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Stands between "The Three" and any aggressors and says, " Hold on now everyone, I am Simon. You all know me and I think you trust me and I swear common sense should tell you these are not demons. Like the man said, why would demons be in here eating? If you don't believe me then just wait until the priest gets here before any of you do something foolish. I am sure any decent priest will assure you that these are indeed not demons. I for one hope that if I ever travel somewhere that I do not get accused of being a demon just because of some misunderstanding. Now everyone sit and please let these visitors finish their meals."
Teko Tuesday October 20th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Teko attempts as best as possible to look like a harmless and very goofy gnome. He also mentally rehearses reaching for his weapon.
Tiburon Tuesday October 20th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Tib looks around and says ," What Demon would carry a Holy Symbol of Domi ? " . Tib holds his Holy Symbol aloft for all to see as he says this.
Nonam Tuesday October 20th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
Nonam tries not to sneeze again.
DM Wednesday October 21st, 1998 2:59:59 PM
The crowd responds to Simon. "Yeah you're right." "We're just looking out for Trillian." "Sorry, Brother. Didn't mean any disrespect." Everything seems to be settling back down, but then one of the girls under the table jumps up and looks at Simon and screams, "Daddy, you were spying on me again!" Then she turns and runs out of the bar. Simon gives the party a sheepish look and turns to follow her.
DM Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Once all the excitement passes, the night turns into an enjoyable one. The two dwarves come over to speak with Gareth, Onrad, and Jus. And all of you exchange battle stories. The old man approaches Nonam and Teko, and the three sit for hours lost in coversation about magic. Teko sharing knowledge of illusions, Nonam sharing alteration techniques, and the old man speaking of enchantment and summoning. When the town priest arrives it is quickly discovered that he is of Tiburon's order, and the two of them sit back and share stories of when they were accolytes. And Kat has perhaps the best fortune of all. Once she finally ends her invisibility spell, every available man in the place wants to talk to her, buy her a drink, or dance with her. Even the musician put down his guitar for his chance to speak with her for a time. Eventually everyone goes to bed and sleeps a most restful sleep. The next morning finds everyone downstairs having breakfast when Simon enters with a troubled look on his face.

DM Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:02 PM
doh! did it twice
Kat Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Kat begins eating her salad again.
Simon Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:04 PM
Simon approaches " The Three ", and in absolute terror says, " I need your help. My daughter ran off yesterday after she discovered me keeping an eye out for her. That night her mother went after her because she had not returned. My wife and my daughter are still missing, and I have no idea where they are. I am afraid something awful must have happened. I didn't mean to be spying, I just wanted to watch out for her. Help me Please."
Kat Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:05 PM
The invisable salad says. "Where would they go? Why wouldn't your wife have come back?"
Gareth Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:06 PM
stands up and says "We will be glad to help. Where do you think they went?"
Tiburon Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:07 PM
"Does she have any friends she would go to ? " says Tib.
Nonam Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:08 PM
Wanting to ask why Kat is eating salad for breakfast, he instead asks Simon, "I understand that you're concerned, and we'll be glad to help. But do you really think that you need us? Surely they'll come back on their own."
Simon Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:09 PM
" They really should not have been gone this long. I know my wife would have checked in by now. I have no idea where they went. All I know is that it is not safe here at night. Many things wander around here at night. I fear one of those things may have found them."
Gareth Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:10 PM
says "where would you propose we begin looking?"
Teko Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:11 PM
Teko listens while getting his things in together. He orders a bit more lamb or goose, if there's any left over - to go.
Kat Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:12 PM
Kat finishes her salad.
Thoth Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:13 PM
"I have looked all over town and have not found them. It is possible they went into the woods."
Jus Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:14 PM
"Woods! Great, lets go! I'd love to get off of the boring roads!" Jus begins dreaming of all the cool things they might see in the woods...
Nonam Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:15 PM
"Perhaps we should hire a tracker? Or can one of you do it?"
Onrad Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:16 PM
Walks in from outside, "While you were all in here talking about this, I went to see what I could find out. Some of the locals said that both his wife and daughter took the road to the south last night."
Gareth Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:17 PM
moves toward the door. "I'll get the wagon. Let's go."
Simon Wednesday October 21st, 1998 3:00:18 PM
" I hope they are safe, lets go."
DM Saturday October 31st, 1998 1:59:59 PM
The party gets the wagon together and heads south. Despite the tension in the air, it's a beautiful morning. About two hours out of town, those who are sitting outside hear screams and snarling dogs just off the road.
Jus Saturday October 31st, 1998 2:00:00 PM
"Any of you fighters want a shot of testosterone? I mean muscle, Gareth. It can give you some added power for a few hours." If anyone takes Jus up on his offer, he casts Strength upon them. He then pulls out his bow and nocks an arrow in preparation. "This may be a false alarm, but I'm not gonna' take any chances with Simon's girl and his wife!"
Simon Saturday October 31st, 1998 2:00:01 PM
" I am thankful for that "
Kat Saturday October 31st, 1998 2:00:02 PM
Kat prepares herself for battle.
Teko Saturday October 31st, 1998 2:00:03 PM
Teko looks about for the source of the commotion.
Tiburon Saturday October 31st, 1998 2:00:04 PM
Tiburon readies himself for battle.
Nonam Saturday October 31st, 1998 2:00:05 PM
Raises an eyebrow at Jus, "A spell I don't know, huh? I doubt Gareth would benefit very much." Then Nonam runs off toward the noises.
DM Sunday November 1st, 1998 1:59:59 PM
The barking and screams continue. Then the group hears a WHOOSSSSH. The sound is familiar, but it seems out of place.
Gareth Sunday November 1st, 1998 2:00:00 PM
stops the wagon, leaps to the ground, draws his sword and races toward the sounds ready for battle. "Simon, does that sound like your family?"
Simon Sunday November 1st, 1998 2:00:01 PM
" It could be, but I'm not sure. Lets go find out." Simon rushes towards the sound.
Tiburon Sunday November 1st, 1998 2:00:02 PM
" I'll take that spell , Jus, " says Tiburon as he jumps to the ground." Can you cast it as we go ?"
Teko Sunday November 1st, 1998 2:00:03 PM
"I think I'll go incognito," Teko says and casts Invisibility on himself. He follows the rest of the party.
Kat Sunday November 1st, 1998 2:00:04 PM
Kat begins preparing a spell, as she moves quietly toward the noise.
DM Monday November 2nd, 1998 1:59:59 PM
The party quickly comes upon a clearing and sees a troubling scene before them. Eight very large reddish brown dogs are attacking a screaming woman that Simon instantly recognizes as his wife. At first she appears alone, but then you notice another figure lying on the ground. She looks up and sees the party, and as her eyes make contact with Simon's a brief look of hope crosses her expression. Perhaps it is too late for hope though. For at that moment, one of the dogs steps back and belches out a column of flame. With a WOOOOSSSH the flames cover everything in the area. Simon's wife writhes in agony in the flames and collapses to the ground. The dogs remain unharmed from the fire and turn to face the party.
DM Monday November 2nd, 1998 2:00:00 PM
The party gets first iniative. Jus had time to get his strength spell off before arriving, so he may cast it and take another action this round.
Gareth Monday November 2nd, 1998 2:00:01 PM
yells a great battle yell as he rushes to engage trying to distract the dogs from attacking the women any more. He leaps to the one closest to the women and slices down (18TH, 17 DMG) with a massive blow.
DM Tuesday November 3rd, 1998 1:59:59 PM
the dogs' ac = 4
Jus Tuesday November 3rd, 1998 2:00:00 PM
Jus casts strength on himself and Tiburon. Tiburon gains 3 points of strength and Jus gains 4. Then Jus fires arrows at the dog Gareth attacked. The first streaks by harmlessly (9), but the 2nd scores a solid hit (20,9) and causes the dog to yelp in pain like a frightened puppy (7pts).
Onrad Tuesday November 3rd, 1998 2:00:01 PM
Onrad rushes in and attacks a fresh dog. His first blow lands true (16) and the dog takes 10 points of damage.
Nonam Tuesday November 3rd, 1998 2:00:02 PM
Nonam casts magic missle and three bolts of energy streak toward the dogs. The air crackles with magic energy when the bolts strike the beast (10pts).
Tiburon Tuesday November 3rd, 1998 2:00:03 PM
Tiburon begins moving around the combat trying to reach the fallen women.( He'll defend himself if attacked.)
Simon Tuesday November 3rd, 1998 2:00:04 PM
Simon runs toward his wife and daughter to pull them away from the beasts, parrying if required.
Teko Tuesday November 3rd, 1998 2:00:05 PM
Teko rushes around the dogs (on the downwind side if possible) to reach the women. He goes to whichever one Tiburon doesn't and puts out any flames (with his cloak, if necessary). He binds her wounds. If the dogs turn on him and breath again, he will cover her with his body (and especially with his cloak).
DM Wednesday November 4th, 1998 1:59:59 PM
Out of his despiration, Simon reaches the fallen women first. He makes it to his wife's side in time to hear her say, "i'm sorry... i tried to protect her... we loved you..." Then her head falls into Simon's arms. Tiburon and Teko arrive quickly, but they are too late. They can both immediately see that the women are dead.
DM Wednesday November 4th, 1998 2:00:00 PM
The hellhounds attack. Two leap at Gareth. Two attack Onrad. One each falls upon Simon, Teko, and Tiburon. The remaining dog races across the clearing toward Nonam, Jus, and Kat. The first dog bites at Gareth but fails to penetrate his armor (12,ac4), but the second dog breathes fire on the warrior. Flames engulf Gareth and he takes 14 points of damage. Both the dogs attacking Onrad chose to bite. The first manages to nip at Onrad's arm (14,ac2) and does little damage (3pts), but the second leaps at Onrad's chest to bite at his face (20[19]). Teeth rip the hero's flesh as he screams in agony (8pts). The next dog snaps at Simon as he leans over his wife, yet it misses (11). A dog bites at Teko, but misses (4). The next beast breathes at Tiburon. The heat scorches the priest and he takes 16 pts of damage. The beast running across the clearing lunges at Nonam, but it's jaws clamp on thin air (7). [save vs dragon breath to take 1/2 damage from the fire]
Gareth Wednesday November 4th, 1998 2:00:01 PM
deftly dodges out of the direct path of the flames but still gets singed pretty good (17 SV). He deals a devestating blow to the first dog (16TH, 16DMG) bellowing "Die!". Suprised that he doesn't see the dog fall to the ground after such a mighty blow, he attacks again and hacks a nice gash in it's side (17TH, 18DMG).
Simon Wednesday November 4th, 1998 2:00:02 PM
In tears, Simon lays down his wife and lunges with his short sword at the beast which just attacked him. (Attack 20 & 5, Damage 4)
Teko Wednesday November 4th, 1998 2:00:03 PM
Teko casts Color Spray on the hound that attacked him.
DM Thursday November 5th, 1998 1:59:59 PM
The hellhound before Teko fails its save (11) and is transfixed by the shimmering colors.
Nonam Thursday November 5th, 1998 2:00:00 PM
Nonam throws his magic daggers at the beast before him. The handles glow as they tumble end over end. They each find their target (18,18), and the hellhound yelps in pain (9).
Jus Thursday November 5th, 1998 2:00:01 PM
Jus fires a pair of arrows at the beast attacking Nonam. All who see the shot marvel as his skill is unparalleled. Both shafts sink deep in the beast (20[11],20[7]) and do 20 points of damage to the monster.
Onrad Thursday November 5th, 1998 2:00:02 PM
Onrad strikes at the wounded monster before him. His first blow seems awkward and fails to connect (3), yet the second bites deep (8).
Kat Thursday November 5th, 1998 2:00:03 PM
Kat casts sleep on the dogs.
DM Friday November 6th, 1998 1:59:59 PM
Kat's spell has no effect.
DM Friday November 6th, 1998 2:00:00 PM
The hellhound before Gareth and the one before Nonam both fall down dead.
DM Friday November 6th, 1998 2:00:01 PM
The remaining dog in front of Gareth bites at him (18(-2)), and Gareth suffers 5 points of damage. The wounded dog before Onrad breathes and Onrad is engulfed in flame (22pts-savefor1/2). The other dog before Onrad moves to attack Jus. It breathes and both Jus and Nonam are within the area of the flames (18-savefor1/2). The dog before Teko remains trapped in his spell. The hellhound before Tiburon snarls and leaps at him with jaws open. It catches his arm in its powerful jaws (16,ac0), and does its best to crush his bones (4pts). The wounded dog before Simon belches out a cloud of flame, and the grieving man takes 21 points of damage (save for 1/2)
Onrad Friday November 6th, 1998 2:00:02 PM
Onrad fails to dodge the beast's fiery breath and takes full damage (3).
Jus Friday November 6th, 1998 2:00:03 PM
Unprepared for the monster's attack Jus suffers full damage (5).
Nonam Friday November 6th, 1998 2:00:04 PM
Being slightly farther from the attacking dog than Jus, Nonam was able to avoid the full effect of the flames (13).
Kat Friday November 6th, 1998 2:00:05 PM
Kat casts Pit, the edge under #4 and #6. the rest moving south and east of those two dogs.
Gareth Friday November 6th, 1998 2:00:06 PM
angrily snarls at the dog and makes it pay for closing with him. He holds it out dangling from his arm and opens up a nice gash on its side (5TH,13dmg).
Nonam Friday November 6th, 1998 2:00:07 PM
Nonam moves over near Teko and throws daggers at the monster before Simon. Both daggers strike the beast (14,19), and it howls in pain (9pts).
Onrad Friday November 6th, 1998 2:00:08 PM
Onrad swings again at the dog before him. He just barely makes contact (10), but even so the blow does its damage (8).

Being under the effects of Teko's spell, the beast before him automatically falls into Kat's pit, and it takes 4 points of damage.

DM Tuesday November 10th, 1998 1:59:59 PM
Hound #6 finally comes out from under Teko's spell. It tries to leap out of Kat's pit, but it slides back down. The creature leapt high enough though that it will obviously get out soon. The hellhound that Nonam knocked into the pit also begins struggling to get out. The dog before Gareth snaps at him once again, but does little more than show the warrior its teeth (15). The dog before Teko grabs him in it's powerful jaws (19), and the mighty illusionist takes 5 points of damage. The dog in the illusionary pit leaps at the edges, but is unable to get out. In rage it breathes. The flames swirl up the pit but appear to be contained with the illusion. Nonetheless the heat felt by Simon seems very real. Should the creature continue, it could still cause the black clad man standing so near the pit damage.
