<span style="font-weight: bold">Eilnear</span><br/>Succumbing to the voice of your inner and nameless impulses, you stray from the path and enter the thick of the forest, following the distant voice and the burning smell, in a half-dozed state ... which makes you completely disregard prudence and shiftiness. You barely notice the passing of time and your surroundings as you stride forward, avoiding absent-mindedly crooked branches and protruding roots, leap over moss-covered boulders and logs covered in mushrooms and pass ruins overtaken by vegetation ... until you arrive at a small clearing, where a horrible scene is unfolding.<br/>Everything happens in a matter of few seconds -the first thing you notice is another filth-covered figure, similar to the crook you killed before, running frantically towards you. But before you can even raise your guard - it surpasses you, running away from the clearing and disappearing in the darkness of the wood.<br/>You quickly understand why.<br/>There are three other figures in the clearing. The first - another one of those disgusting creatures. It is just being thrown against the trunk of a tree, and consequently collapsing lifelessly on the ground.<br/>The second is a terrified, pale girl, messily but thigtly tied with a rope, lying on the ground near a long blunt spit not too distant from a lively campfire.<br/>The third is a fiendish creature, a large and twisted snake with pale, smooth skin, a elongated head with many madly-whirling eyes and several female breasts on its body. It is easy to understand how it must be responsible for the unpleasant fly of the other dirty humanoid.<br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;"><div class="inline-attachment">

Moving at a disturbing speed, it spurts a sticky, milky substance at you - all this happened far too quickly for your already half-dozed mind to react, and you are covered with the strange liquid, and overcome with its scent of almond and honey...<br/><span style="color: #FF0000">[Yes, it is the same kind of monster the others are facing in the tower ^^ ]</span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><br/>Alyssa, Salla, Jules</span><br/>While Jules is finding himself more and more stickly trapped in the substance, the fight evolves quite rapidly. Alyssa is managing to oppose quite a resistance to the pulling attempts of the monsters, sliding only very slowly towards it. In a resoluted attempt to exploit the opponent's distraction, Salla proves to be at the end a little slower than the creature's lashing tails - a lightning fast strike gets her in the stomach, taking away her breath. The swordswoman is pushed back and knocked down from the unpredicted strenght of the attack. Luckily, Alyssa manages to seize the opportunity before the creature can attack again, cutting off its tongue with a single slash.<br/>The monster emits another, more terrible shriek of pain and anger, contorting and splattering blood and drool all around; all its rotating eyes set their gaze upon Alyssa and her sword, then, with a rageful hiss, it charges towards her.<span style="color: #FF0000"><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">[Recap:</span> <br/>-Jules: You're covered in sticky slime and it has just trapped your hands, too.<br/>-Alyssa: The slime is a nuisance, but you have still a decent freedom of movement and action - being <span style="font-weight: bold">unstoppable </span>has its perks<br/>-Salla: That was a vicious blow. It will take some moments before you're able to stand up again]</span>
