Perfect.

I tug the thief’s body off of the spears and heave it at the sarcophagus. We’re gonna get some mileage outta this one.

Standing at the back, shaking my flask to see how much brandy is left.

Hey, rear guard is an important position, you know!

The Cleric Prays----_“OH! MIGHTY GODS! What do I have to do to get out of this chicken outfit?”_

The Gods reply—“Tell the thief to shutteth his yap, for he begineth to sound like Woody Allen.”

Praise Be!

I goose **DemonSpawn** with the tip of my longsword while (s)he’s peeking through the open door. Then I point to **Ferrous** when (s)he looks up.

My 25th level anti-paladin/ninja pulls out his +6 defender and looks for quantum mechanics.  
My cleric (dedicated to St. Cuthbert the Unsavoury), brandishing a heavy rock in one hand, rolls his eyes and follows Bosda’s cleric suspiciously. . . asks Ferrous the warrior for a swig, the greedy bastard.

Mr. Miskatonic wakes up from having been used as door opener. He has a concussion. He wanders in the desert for 3 hours and then returns.

Meanwhile I declare Black Leaf to be **dead!**

**BraheSilver** the bard unstrings his war lyre, puts on some heavy gloves, then restrings it with piano wire and waves it about menacingly.

“C’mon! I’m playing sharp today!” 😃

I said it’s not about the gold. However, I do expect, since you are stealing from a fellow travler, that you shall buy me a drink at the next tavern. I’d hate to have reduce the number of theives in our party.

Beside, according to these markings, Beholders creep around in this cave–you might not make it out alive anyway.

And, for Christ’s sake could one of you big meat shields lead the way–we don’t need two back guards, regardless of how drunk one is.
