Examine Elrond. Elrond gives me some food. Go West. A small bearded Dwarf appears, “Give ffod to Dwarf” Damn, spelt it wrong. The Dwarf disappears.

\*\* Kwyjibo\*\*, your arrow seems to bounce off something invisible on the other side of the pit. It looks like there may be an invisible barrier on the other side. ---

I really need **Legomancer** to rule on the mass teleport some DMs don’t like 'em. Just remember I only have one memorized, and I’ll prolly need a nap after I’m done cast this one. ---

Sheesh! Mass Teleport! Don’t they teach a simple Dispel Magic in wizard’s school anymore? I’ll take another sip from the flask and stand well back from the overzealous spellcaster yonder. _hic!_ ---

Even if we dispel the barrier do you plan on jumping over a pit full of spike. Geesh, now back to my chanting and wild hand movements for mass teleport. ---

U know, we all have out characters to play–mine just happens to be a newbee wizards (high intelligent low wisdom or maybe that’s backwards and I’m too lazy to get out my character sheets) I just like to cast things to look at the pretty colours. ---

I’m just saying, why waste one of your best spells just to get into the bleedin’ dungeon? Lets try a few simpler methods first and try to save the big guns for later. ---

(rolls dice). Ooooh…slight misfire. The party is now in a room measuring about 60’ by 40’. Fromt he stonework it looks like tyou’re still in the tomb, just elsewhere in it. There is a set of wooden double doors on the wall in front of you. The room itself looks like it may be intended for some kind of ritual. Stone pillar every ten feet support the roof, and there are rows of heavy wooden benches facing an altar. (rolls) The cleric’s religion check succeeds. This is an altar to Nerull, an evil god. There are long-dried stains on the stone slab of the altar. Rotting tapestries with symbols of Nerull line the walls. However, the temple seems to be long-abandoned in its original purposes, and is now instead home to some kind of creature. Emerging from a nest of rotting clothes and other filth is a large creature with a sort of caterpillar-like body, many legs, and a face full of tentacles. **Ferrous** you recognize this critter as a Carrion Crawler. Roll for initiative. ---

Besides, are you sure you can teleport through that thing? I don’t want my constituent atoms smeared across that there invisible wall. Here, have some brandy. After I take one more small sip… ---

Thank god I’m a chipmunk. I’m going to scamper under a wooden bench far from the action and wait for the fireworks to settle down. ---

Gee. Thanks, wizzard. I’ll take a few steps back behind somebody with a weapon (unless it’s a whip) and wonder why bard clothes don’t come in camoflage. ---
