Third Adventure 02: Golem and Crystal

Snarg clutches his injured arm, holding the great sword loosely in the other. Slowly sheathing his sword, he grabs the leg leg of Kez and begins dragging her towards the door, still baring his teeth.

Gwydo, furious at Rory's attack on a helpless teammate, swings his sword straight into him, not holding back, and nails him right across the torso for significant damage, leaving Rory badly wounded. Higaide and he both surround Rory and inform him in no uncertain terms that if he keeps this up they will both gang up on him.

"STOP HITTIN' YA SELVES, I AIN'T GONNA DRAG ANY MORE OF YA OUT!" Snarg's voice echoes down the stairs.

Rory clutched at his chest, feeling the blood leaking from the slash. He glares at his "comrades". "I've done all I needed to do," he snarled, shaking one fatigued arm at the Olthoi. He left toward the exit, putting one tired foot in front of the other.

Sethos and Kezrinthka are healed back up to consciousness, barely capable of lumbering onwards on their own power. The group as a whole wisely decides to abandon this hell forsaken mine and get out. The trip back to town takes several hours, many of its party members leaning on others and having to stop frequently, fatigued and injured. The biting sand winds don't help anything either.

By the time you get back to Al-Ferin, the entire group feels tired, worn, and in many cases in a massive amount of pain. The sight of the city is of tremendous relief.
