cocked her head to the side as she pulled out the map, vaguely remembering a Tharja from their time in the temple together.  Yanna she didn't know at all, or at least the name didn't sound familiar, but the hostility in the dwarf woman's voice didn't go unnoticed as she made a mental note to see about giving her friend some measure of satisfaction.  Whatever happened, they had more important things to worry about at the moment as Bo took the map, and they were soon huddled around it, planning their route to get to their hopeful destination sooner rather than later.  As much as the idea of taking a swim in the lake might have appealed to Zerxel, the fact said lake had a giant monster of some sort inside it made that idea a rather poor one, and she knew well dwarves weren't the best swimmers given their short statures.  And backtracking through the town had its own drawbacks, which Bo was quick to point out before she could do so herself, much to the rogue's silent appreciation since it meant they were on the same page.  Still, she couldn't help the little grin even as Bo deadpanned in retort to her idea of going<em>through </em>the buildings rather than over them.  To which she was quick to counter with her own bit of deadpan delivered logic, which had the expected response from Bo that had them agreeing, with some reluctance on both sides admittedly, to go through the buildings themselves.  While Zerxel didn't like the idea anymore than Bo did, having already fallen through the roof of one such building that very day, it was still better than trying to circumnavigate their way around the town that indeed resembled a maze in its own right.<br/><br/>So they soon found themselves inside one such building, its floor quite questionable in its stability as Zerxel slowly pushed forward.  The vines, which could have been cleverly disguised rapevines for all they knew, at the end of the alleyway nearby they had avoided entirely, having spotted a far easier way forward as Zerxel lead the way.  While rogues were meant to sneak about the shadows, she didn't mind taking point for their team of two.  And while it was slow going, it would have been far slower if one or both of them ended falling through the rotting floorboards and into whatever resided below.  She did breathe a little easier though once she saw that the floor underneath her feet soon became noticeably stronger under her feet, and Zerxel turned to Bo and gave her a confident nod as she started away.  Only when her friend gave a cry did the rogue realize that they weren't alone, having felt a bit of blue goop fall on her face.  She tensed, and knew immediately what it was that had just fallen all over them both when the cool, almost numbing sensation began to overtake her body.<strong>"SHIT!  They're slimes!  Hold on!"</strong>Zerxel called out, and sheathed her blades as quickly as she had drawn them.  They'd be practically useless here against an enemy that had no real physical shape to cut down.  As such, she went back to her knowledge of the Dungeon she had taken notes upon, and slimes she knew had a weakness, two of them, and one of them she had used quite often during the first and second levels already.  As such, she wasted little time in summoning forth her powers to deal with these slimy bastards on the spot.<br/><br/><strong>"It's about to get hot in here Bo!"</strong>It was the only warning the drow gave her friend as she raised her right hand, and brought to life a fireball while at the same time, she called upon the magic of her armor.  About the same time, a very pleasant, almost mind numbing wave of pleasure that did more than a little to counteract the numbing sensation left behind by the slime covering her, flared up as the armor's gems flared to life with magical light that arced and coalesced into the fireball forming in her right hand.  The heat and flames would do a great deal to drive away and damage the slime covering her, but she intended to do more than save her own ass.  Aiming her hand towards a spot just above Bo's head, Zerxel let the stream of fire roar over the dwarf's head before moving her hand and the stream of flame as close to Bo as she dared without actually burning her in the process....she hoped.  But with the slime obscuring her vision slightly as it tried to find a way into her armor and to the flesh underneath, or to simply eat its way past her enchanted armor, Zerxel couldn't be sure she hadn't accidentally singed the dwarven spearwoman by mistake.  She sincerely hoped not, but she wasn't about to stop until she knew for sure they were home free, although burning the house down certainly made her worried, to say the least.
