Alice was once again struck by how quickly things could go from bad to worse. She had no idea if the creature that seemed to rise out of the lava was by dark elf machinations but she cursed them all the same as she dived down the tunnel nearest to her, following Argon and Settionne and praying that the monster didn't try to follow them down. The party was in dilemma, not only had they separated but their main guides had gone the other way. And none of that would matter if this tunnel was a dead end or the monster decided to follow them. She was fairly certain none of her spells would have any real effect, but hers combined with Secretion's divine casting might just be able to make Argon, who's scales no doubt made him resistant to heat, strong enough to at least fight the foe and provide the others a window of opportunity. She had no idea if something like this would work, she couldn't remember learning about a creature as that in all of her lifetime. Alice quickly caught up with Argon, who had turned towards the sounds of commotion and the sounds of her running. [color=royalblue]"Where's Settionne?" [/color]she paused briefly to look behind her for any signs of pursuit, [color=royalblue]"There's some kind of Lava monster in the main cavern, so we all fled in different directions."[/color] and with the Lizard up to speed she started off down the tunnel that she had seemed so reticent to head down before.
