I was just about to leave this area when I heard Miles mention that something else was here, and I looked over where he was looking as soon as he said that "Huh... how about that? Seems like the dust can't touch that stuff. So, before we leave, should we get some of that... whatever it is that's repelling the dust, or not?" I asked my group. I then took a rock, and threw it at some other rock, creating a noise, and making the zombies head in that direction instead of towards us. It would work for a while, but if we wanted to get that slab, we'd probably have to fight at least one of them on the way back. [i]So... if those zombies are made when living things enter the dust... why aren't we effected?[/i] I thought as I waited for a response from the group. I then looked around for any wood, just so I could light it in case anyone needed a fire-based weapon to fend off the zombies. I found a few branches that looked like they'd work for what I needed them for, but decided against getting them, at least for now. The smell of stale rot filled the air as I waited, and honestly, I couldn't take it for too much longer. The princess was writing in some sort of book, again, and Backstabs seemed to be on the fence about this saying "Well... I dunno. I'll go with you guys, whether you choose to leave, or stay, but I don't know what we should do," she then brought up a point with "We could just TELL the dragons that we found something like this, and I'm sure they, in all their supposed wisdom, would be able to figure out WHICH material the slab was made of... right?"
