Morbion's Chamber: Round 2-3
Dreams hisses in frustration, then holds her tongue, knowing that her hearing will be crucial to striking the slime in front of her. She strikes out, trying to judge where it is from memory and sound.

Morbion's Chamber: Round 2-3
Normally his human frailties would have Nate flailing about in the darkness, barely able to tell where floors or walls are. But magic can make all the difference, and the gunslinger is ready for this challenge. The lenses of violet crystal in front of his eyes illuminate his vision even in the dark. While not as clean and crisp as true daylight, he can still tell where everyone is, and what he's doing.
Fighting the supernatural slowness, he sets his musket and aims at an excruciatingly reduced pace, but he manages to still get off a shot.

Morbion's Chamber: Round 3-4
The change in light from bright to dark to dim again, does a bit of a number on Dream's vision. She swings at the slime, and slips and nearly falls, but catches herself in time to strike out again. Like every time she's hit a slime creature her blow is weakened. She lightly slices away some jelly.
Nate, painfully slow, brings his musket up to fire, and the slime creature takes advantage of it, lashing out and striking his leg and burning him. Still he gets his shot off and puts a slug into the shoulder of Morbion who howls in pain as he's hit a second time now by the heroes.
Morbion counters, "Oh so you think you can defeat me? You can stand there watching as I kill your friends." He signs a spell, quickly and easily, sending tingling up and down Torias' spine. He can feel himself slowing, but then he fights the effect and does not become paralyzed!
The two slime creatures lash out with tentacles. Each one manages to strike their targets once. Dreams and Nate are both hit, its a light bruise, but more importantly this time their systems are overloaded with constant contact and they are poisoned both of them, their bodies going numb.
Torias, Dreams and Nate....as the bird figure on the ground starts to stir and moan.

Morbion's Chamber: Round 3-4
Dreams grows increasingly frustrated with doing battle with a lowly slime, while Morgion stands there mocking them. She moves around the slime, leaving herself momentarily open, towards Morgion, while calling out, "Junil and Lugus, guide my hand!" then strikes at the evil priest.

The feathered figure along the south wall begins to stir, he's waking up, finding himself bound and gagged.

Morbion's Chamber: Return to the Slime Pool
"Hey, there is a prisoner! Let's get him out." WIth all the dripping slime Torias wants to get out of the chamber for the moment, so he glances at Dreams and (if she helps) with her help, he heaves the birdman up and walks him out of the chamber. Then he cuts him loose and ungags him.

Suddenly awake Lineos tries to wriggle free from his bindings, he tries to ask for help but the gag in his mouth makes it impossible to do so. When he is cut free he gives his chafed wrists a a rub and bows in gratitude to the strangers that just saved him. "Thank you kind adventurers, my name is Lineos Shadowfeather." Lineos offers a his claw for a handshake.

After a moment's hesitation, Dreams takes Lineos' claw and shakes. She then makes a formal bow. "I am Reluctant Follower of Dreams of the Dancers in the Glade Clan, but most people simply call me Dreams." She is an elven warrior woman, with tattoos on her face and hands, as is common among her people, the Elohim. Her hair is completely white and the sash she wears about her torso has the holy symbols of the gods Junil and Lugus on it.
"Are you injured?" she asks. "Torias and I are both skilled healers. How did you come to be a prisoner here?"
