Actually, you're trying to forget about the mountains. So many legs. Shattered around...

He does'nt seem to have any wounds. Besides, the blood on the dagger is green.

You do. You can't see very well tough.
"I think it's some sort of ceremony to bring life into stone", Overhéalz says.
"How would you know?" you ask.
"Hello? Druid! Like... Allmighty protectors of life and things. We know a thing or two about bringing stuff to life too, you know..."
Ah, allrighty then. You can see a tentacle in front of the other door. And now you can't.
"Kill... Them... All..."
Oh crap. You're going insane. Tentyo shudders, and stealths again. Mighthammer seems to be getting antsy.

"Do you hear them too?", you quietly whisper.
Mighthammer nods, and whispers back "Aye. Ah told ye ah ain't insane, did'nae?"
Kalliope wrote:> Head into the room with Overhealz, leaving Tentyo and Mighthammer in the doorway to brace it open.
You motion for Overhéalz to follow you, and he does so. Mighthammer and Tentyo stay in the doorway, as you did'nt motion for them to do anything.
You are in the center of the room. You can see small glyphs on the floor here. Suddenly, the whole room is illuminated, and the doors slam shut. Tentyo is on your side, however, according to the yells, Mighthammer got stuck on the other side. You turn around, and you can see Overhéalz leaning over, having obviously just pressed a glyph. He is looking incredibly guilty right now. Giant Statue is croaking, and dust is falling off of it, making your hair dirty.
Find Fish is empty.
There is a tentacle in the roof. Oh wait...
Whatever these tentacles are, their amount has certainly increased the further into the temple you've gone. You think you can hear otherwordly laughter in the distance. It sounds almost like some sort of demon, Impish, you know...

He is frantically pressing runes, obviously trying to do so himself.

There's a large pile of dust under the statue. It seems to be getting ready to squish Overhéalz. He notices this, and jumps out of the way moments before a large fist comes smashing down. Tentyo has started sprinting, and rushes up onto the statue somehow. He stabs it, but all he manages to do is a clinking sound. He jumps down again, and shrugs.

It's... It's... It's stone... And it's rising... And hovering over you... And slamming you into the ground...
Your health is 0%
You have died.
Overhéalz has cast Rebirth on you. Your health is now 25%.
You observe to yourself that this will most likely take some finesse. You take out your Smelly Titansteel Destroyer. It's clobbering time...

You manage to heave yourself onto it's hand, but you can't find any crevices or such to climb with. It raises it's hand, and shakes it. You're having some trouble keeping your grip, but you quickly hug a finger.

Disarm fails, the Hand is not currently wielding any weapon.
You lose your grip (more like a hug...) around the finger, and fly accross the room. As you crash into the wall, you feel sticky. You have discovered Sticky Silithid Residue on the walls here. And you just happen to have some bottles to store it in...
Find Fish is empty. You can hear the odd laughter again.

You take off your helm, and use it toquickly scrape some Sticky Silithid Residue into two bottles. You have gained Sticky Purple Platemail Helmet. You have gained 2 of item Bottle of Sticky Silithid Residue.
You can hear loud clanks. The statue is heading towards you! As you turn around, you notice how your left side is completely attached to the wall. This stuff IS sticky! You can see Overhéalz frantically pressing runes. Suddenly, a blue glow evelops him. As it dissipates, the statue seems to be moving slightly slower.
Kalliope wrote:> Throw one bottle of the residue at the hand to freeze it in place.
You pick up a bottle, and take careful aim. You throw the bottle with all your strength. It misses. As the bottle shatters against the ground before the statue, creating a Puddle of Glue, you can see Tentyo attempting to sneak up to it, wielding your Smelly Titansteel Destroyer. You must've dropped it when you were flying.
The statue steps in the Puddle of Glue. It's right foot is now attached to the ground. You watch as Tentyo sneaks up to the statue, and then seems to get another idea. He quickly runs over to the Runic Circle, and smashes it with a heavy... Smash...
Overhéalz looks terrified. The statue freezes, and losing it's balance, topples over. The doors have reopened. Mighthammer is Smashed outside one of the doorways. You can see a Warlock in the other one.

Tentyo is faster than you, and has already pulled Mighthammer into the room. Some smacking solves the whole "unconscious" problem. Meanwhile, Overhéalz has walked up to you, and is now attempting to pull you down. It's ineffective.
Warlock casts Immolate. You feel how he temperature is quickly rising, and how Overhéalz has moved away from you.
Sticky Silithid Residue is burned. You fall off the wall. You
take 7% fall damage. Your health is now 18%. Overhéalz casts Rejuvenate on you.
Kalliope wrote:> Check on the warlock to see if he's okay. Ask him to join your raid.
Sidous has joined your raid.
"Are you ok?", you ask him.
"Yes, of course you dimwit. Let's just go. We have some tentacles to slay."
You can see the darkened silhouette of a tentacle in the distance.
"Your bravery... Will be the fall of you..."

"So, do you see them too...?"
The others respond, almost simultaniously, "Yes."
Overhéalz adds "Me and Tentyo did'nt want to tell you, you might think we're as crazy as that guy.". He points at Mighthammer, who does'nt seem offended in any way.
Dragonpuff wrote:> Ask Sidous if there was anything back through the door he came from.
"Just a branching, three corridors. One of them leads back to the throne room, but I sort of... Crashed it... The other one lead here, and I obviously have'nt gone into the third yet."
Dragonpuff wrote:> If there is anything interesting, get him to lead you to it.
He leads the way into a small triangular room. He points at the eastern opening. "That way."

"You lead the way."
"Sure."
He quickly walks away, and tough the others have an easy time keeping up, you have to run. Stupid taller people... After walking down several stairs, and trough many pieces of apparently differing architecture. There is the things you walk in now, apparently made of square pieces of rocks, stacked and then attached with clay. There is also sandy mountains, the same kind of sticky residue you got stuck in earlier, with what appears to be small holes. At that particular spot you could hear clicking and hissing noices.
After walking a rather far distance, at the very least about a kilometre, you reach the doorway.
You are in a Large Room. There is a Pedestal in the center. On the Pedestal is what seems to be a lock. There are various small cogs, gears and thin metal plates scattered around. There is a Large Metal Door in the other side of the room.
Find Fish reveals a school of Blood Drinkers behind the large door.
