The amorphous creature comes nearer to the chain, three eyes looking at the animated weapon. A tentacle tentatively lashes out, hits the metal, but nothing happens to Xyranma ... bar that odd feeling of being touched by some otherworldly creature. From the main room of the upper level, another skeleton creature comes into view, clad in chain mail and wielding a halberd. It also makes its way to the dancing chain, keeping a careful distance to the slime thing. Farviaan moves in to slash the skeleton thing to pieces. It is somewhat awkward for him with his large weapon, as the corridor is not that wide, but he manages to hammer his blade into the bone thing, drawing chunks of chain and bones out of the enemy. It looks pretty badly wounded, but the eyes in its blackened skull still burn with hate. In the heads of those addressed, Xyranma's voice warns you about the amorphous creature. The opponent of Farviaan edges a few steps back and suddenly starts to jump in and out of existence. A small fiery orb rushes from where Khalas flies towards the slimy creature, hits it cleanly, and boils away a large portion of its body. An inhuman howl of pain and anger disrupts the sounds of battle and the rush of water below.
Tavia waits till the skeleton passes her by before making her way down the eastern tunnel again. Szordrin goes into hiding once he hears the skeleton warrior approaching. He waits calmly till the creature is near to him. Once it comes into view, Xune raises her crossbow and sends a bolt into the skeleton. The missile stops it in its tracks for half a moment, then it moves purposefully forward to its prey. The hit and subsequent stop bring it out of the attack of Szordrin, who steps out of the darkness right next to the creature. His second slash draws a neat line into the chain mail, while his third attack passes through the empty ribcage without doing any damage. Tarinyon listens intensely into the darkness on the bridge, than passes through it without much concern. As he reaches the other side, he takes in the scene and looks smilingly at the dead derro ahead of him. Zhadristan watches Szordrin's attack, casts a quick spell and aims his hand at the skeleton. A nigh invisible blast of force hits the black skeleton in the chest and yanks it off its feet. It clatters to the ground a few paces down the corridor. The drow watches on as the ghast charges past him, going for the skeleton on the ground. He senses Sheiriya near him, while behind him on the bridge, Gaess neatly jumps of the stalagtite and lands next to Tarinyon on the floor.
